Key Wellness Chiropractic

Dear mums:

Taking 20 minutes for yoga isn't selfish. It's essential. 💙

I know the guilt. I know the "I should be doing the washing, cooking the tea, listening to my child read Biff and Chip, etc, etc

But here's what happens when you consistently move your body:

💙You have more energy for your family
💙You handle stress better
💙You model self-care for your children ( and we know they need it)
💙You prevent the burnout that leaves you running on empty
💙 Reduction in aches and pains

You can't care for everyone else if your back hurts every time you move, or if you're shattered by lunchtime.

Movement is medicine. Rest is productive. Your wellbeing matters.

What's one small thing you can do for your body this week? Even 5 minutes counts.

And if you can arrange childcare, Thursday evening yoga is back at The Trefoil Centre, 8.15-9.30pm. Just pop me a message to book

A busy professional mum came to me last year. Her story was common:

Daily headaches, worse as the day goes on, taking painkillers to help her function.
Tightness in the neck, shoulders and jaw
Spending hours driving, on zoom calls and talking on the phone.

Together we formed a plan of action including:

McTimoney adjustments to release neck and jaw tension
Specific desk yoga sequence for between meetings
Ergonomic setup review
Breathing exercises for stress management

After 3 sessions, headaches reduced by 80%.

This is why I combine chiropractic care with yoga and movement education. Bodies don't exist in isolation; they respond to our habits, stress, and environment.

If you're powering through pain at work, it doesn't have to be this way.
What's your experience with workplace-related pain?

Have you found strategies that work?

Brilliant question!

Let me explain why so many families, runners, and professionals choose McTimoney:

💙 Whole-body holistic approach. The whole body is assessed and, if necessary, adjusted, not just where it hurts. Often, pain in one area is caused by compensation somewhere else.

💙 Gentle, precise adjustments - Using quick, light toggle-recoil movements. No heavy manipulation, no "cracking." Perfect for everyone from pregnant mums to athletes to office workers to Great Aunt Doris.

💙 Suitable for all ages - From babies to elderly patients. The technique adapts to everyone's needs.

💙Treats the cause, not just symptoms - We're looking at why your body is out of balance, not just masking pain.

The McTimoney technique was developed here in the UK specifically to be gentle yet effective. After 40+ years, it's trusted by thousands of patients who want natural, holistic care.

Did you know that I give talks about how to improve mobility and balance?

80% of office workers will experience back pain during their working life.

With hybrid working now the norm, many people are splitting time between home desks (often the kitchen table) and office environments. This creates inconsistent postural habits that the body struggles to adapt to.

The cost to businesses? In the UK, musculoskeletal disorders account for £28.2 million lost working days annually.

The solution isn't just an expensive chair, its understanding your body and having tools to help you maintain spinal health through:

💙Regular spinal assessments
💙Movement breaks during the working day
💙 Ergonomic education tailored to individual needs

I work with busy professionals to reduce pain, improve posture, and increase energy throughout the workday. Many clients report better focus, fewer headaches, and improved sleep.

Investing in employee musculoskeletal health isn't a luxury—it's essential for sustainable productivity.

Does your workplace prioritise movement and spinal health? What strategies have worked for you?

Are you like me and training for a 2026 race?

Learn from my mistake and allow your body time to adapt to increased mileage.

Here's what some people don't realise:
Every time your foot strikes the ground, your spine absorbs 3-5 times your body weight in impact. That's thousands of impacts per run.

McTimoney chiropractic helps ensure your whole body—from feet to head—is properly aligned to handle this load. Think of it as your regular running MOT.
Common issues we help runners with:

Lower back tightness
Hip imbalances
Knee tracking problems
Achilles strain
Shoulder tension (yes, your arms matter!)

Starting training for a spring race? Get your body checked now, not after an injury prevents you from training.

Why not book in for an assessment and see what we can offer you?

Let's scrap " New Year, New You", and instead have " New Year, Better Movement.

If you're a mum juggling everything, an office worker at your desk, or a runner chasing PBs, small sustainable changes in how you move can transform how you feel and how your body functions.

This January, we're not talking about quick fixes. We're talking about helping your body move the way it's designed to—freely, easily, and without pain.
