🚶🏻‍♀️Walking offers a wealth of benefits for both your body and mind. Experts recommend incorporating walking into your routine to boost physical and mental health, noting that even short, regular strolls can make a significant difference.
💪A gentle boost for your heart,You don’t need to walk fast or far. A steady walk where you can just about hold a conversation, for around 20 minutes, is enough to gently increase your breathing and pulse and still bring real benefits to your heart.
👉If back, hip, knee, or foot pain is stopping you from walking comfortably, we can help.
As osteopaths, we look at the whole body to understand what’s limiting your movement and support you back into walking with confidence.
💙We also work closely with a podiatrist in the practice, so if further specialist input is needed, we can guide you in the right direction.
💬 For help, advice, or to find out how osteopathy can support you, feel free to get in touch.

💙Have you ever had a scan or an X-ray, only to be left feeling more confused than reassured?
As osteopaths, we take the time to explain your findings clearly and calmly, in simple, everyday language,not medical jargon.
After a scan or X-ray, you’ll usually receive a written report, either directly or via your GP. While this report is important, it can often feel overwhelming or unclear if you’re not familiar with medical terms.
If you’d like help understanding what has been identified, we’re here to:
👉Explain the report in plain English
👉Talk through what it means for you
👉Discuss whether any further steps or treatment may be needed

👉If you’re coming to see us and have had a recent scan or X-ray, it’s helpful to bring a copy of the report with you. You can usually request this from your GP’s secretary or receptionist.
If you’d like guidance, reassurance, or clarity,just ask. We’re always happy to help.

⛷Just a few simple movements before skiing can help you move better and safer. Preparing your body before hitting the slopes can make a real difference in how you move, perform, and stay injury-free. A good warm-up helps your muscles wake up and prepares your body for the demands of skiing.
👉 Start by activating your core, gently warming your body from the inside out to improve control and stability on the slopes.
👉 Move into dynamic stretches, focusing on your legs and lower back. Exercises like lunges, leg swings, and hip circles for around 5 minutes are a great place to start.
👉 Add ankle mobility exercises, such as ankle circles or gentle calf raises, to improve balance and support your knees while skiing.
👉 Activate your glutes with simple movements like squats or glute bridges to help protect your hips and lower back.
👉 Follow with light cardio, such as jogging on the spot or brisk walking, to raise your heart rate and increase circulation.
👉 Finish with a few deep breathing exercises to centre your focus and prepare your mind for the run ahead.
Taking a few minutes to warm up can help you ski with more confidence, control, and enjoyment. Stay safe and have a fantastic time on the slopes .
