Have you ever seen that coloured tape on your favourite footballer or wondered why most of the athletes during the last Olympics seemed to have tape all over them?

The reason is Kinesiology Tape, or K-Tape as it is otherwise known. Over the last few years this tape has engulfed the sporting world and there is a reason for thisโ€ฆ it has phenomenal results.

โ˜•๐Ÿค—โ˜•โ™ฅ๏ธ What fuels you? โ™ฅ๏ธโ˜•๐Ÿค—โ˜• Every morning, at 10.45am, I have a wonderful Latte brought in for me by my amazing husband. It's between patients, and I have a chance to catch up on my patient's notes and just take a breath before the midmorning clinic starts and takes me right up to lunch. It's gorgeous.

The coffee beans are from in Oxford - we've been buying them from there for years now. We adore them.

Anyone local can buy them at in Stoke Row. HUGE Congratulations to Tona at Imma for being named Baker of The Year! Quite an achievement and hugely deserved. Their Almond Croissants have to be tasted to be believed.

These little treats are joyous.

Anyway, back to another busy week of Clinic and Pilates.

๐ŸŽง๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽง Why Panacea? ๐ŸŽง๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽง

Music plays a huge role in the Panacea household. Like, REALLY BIG.

So much so that even my business was named after a song!

I met my husband in the early-mid 2000's and at the time he was in a successful chill out band called Fragile State.

Fast forward around a decade later and I was thinking of a name for my Physiotherapy and Pilates business and we remembered him naming a song on his first album with his band mate. The track? Yes you guessed it... Panacea.

panacea
[pan-uh-see-uh]

noun
a remedy for all disease or ills.

It just seemed to fit. Isn't it amazing how serendipitous life can be.

Steadier Ground: Simple Steps to Significantly Decrease Your Risk of Falls

Falls are not an inevitable part of aging, but they are a serious health concern. They are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults, and even a minor fall can lead to pain, lost independence, and a fear of falling that drastically reduces quality of life.

The good news? Fall prevention is incredibly effective! Itโ€™s about taking proactive steps to address the main risk factors โ€” your health and your home environment.

Pumpkin Soup Recipe

1 pumpkin
about 1kg, peeled and deseeded
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 onions
diced
1 garlic clove
thinly sliced
2 mild red chillies
deseeded and finely chopped
850ml hot vegetable stock
4 tbsp crรจme fraรฎche
plus more to serve

Method
Step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

Step 2
Cut the pumpkin into large cubes, about 4cm/1ยฝin across, then toss in a large roasting tin with 1 tbsp of the olive oil.

Step 3
Roast for 30 mins, turning once during cooking, until golden and soft.

Step 4
While the pumpkin cooks, melt the butter with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan, then add the onions, garlic clove and three-quarters of the chillies.

Step 5
Cover and cook on a very low heat for 15-20 mins until the onions are completely soft.

Step 6
Tip the pumpkin into the pan, add the stock and crรจme fraรฎche, then whizz with a stick blender until smooth. For a really silky soup, put the soup into a liquidiser and blitz it in batches.

Step 7
Return to the pan, gently reheat, then season to taste. Serve the soup in bowls with swirls of crรจme fraรฎche and a scattering of the remaining chopped chilli.

๐Ÿ“๐ŸŒฐ๐ŸฏWho doesn't like a good breakfast? ๐Ÿฏ๐ŸŒฐ๐Ÿ“

We're a big fan of starting the day with a healthy breakfast, be it Overnight Oats or Homemade Granola (tried and tested recipe from Rachel Allen below). It's really important to give your body some energy for the busy day ahead.

Look after yourself!

Crunchy Nutty Granola.
Makes 1.5kg

125g butter, 150ml runny honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 500g rolled oats, 50g roughly chopped pecan nuts, 150g roughly chopped hazelnuts, 75g pumpkin seeds, 75g sunflower seeds, 50g golden linseeds, 100g desiccated coconut, 300g mixed dried fruit such as dates, figs, apricots, raisins, sultanas, cranberries (the larger fruit chopped)

1. Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas3.

2. Place the butter, honey and vanilla extract in a small saucepan on a low heat and gently melt together. Mix the oats, nuts, seeds and desiccated coconut together in a large bowl. Pour over the melted butter and honey mixture and stir really well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

3. Divide the mixture between two large baking trays and spread in an even layer. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the trays, stirring every now and then. (If you transfer it into a deep bowl at this stage, while it is still warm, it will go soggy.)

4. Once completely cool, transfer to a large bowl and stir in your choice of dried fruits. Pour into an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two months.

I always start my weekend with an early morning swim - whether that's in the pool, lake or river!

Swimming is as dear to my heart as running, possible moreso. It's something I've always done and it's always been a passion. Getting up super early in my teens to go to swimming club before school and again at the weekend for the swimming meets where I was ferried around endlessly by my parents. I really appreciate the sacrifices they made to do that for me. It was a commitment for both them and me but it's a discipline that has stayed with me as I approach my mid-forties.

So a big shout out to all the early morning swimmers and swimming clubs everywhere and a gentle nod to my group in Henley-on-Thames ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Swimming is an amazing way to keep fit, to build stamina, to get exercise, for rehabilitation... honestly, the list is endless. Just being in the pool can help you in so many ways.

โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ What a glorious start to the week here at Panacea HQ! โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ

The sun is out and looking fabulous. I start my week with a local session of yoga, a caramel latte and then it's straight into clinic mode!

I break my day up with a quick walk around the village at lunchtime with our hound before my Monday afternoon patients - always a chock-a-block session!

By the time I finish work at 6pm I look back and am always so grateful for that dose of fresh air at lunchtime.

โ˜€๏ธ It's a beautiful day here at Panacea Physiotherapy & Pilates โ˜€๏ธ

It's that time of year where the light is stunning - and we're clinging onto that light a bit with the clocks going back at the end of October.

So make sure you make the most of it with a nice walk before we start craving that light. Combining the walk with a nice pub lunch is always a favourite!
