Eastwood Osteopathy

Eastwood Osteopathy Osteopath treating a wide range of health problems such as back and joint pain, sports injuries. I’ll be happy to help.

My name is Nikki and I'm a registered Osteopath working in Kidderminster. Osteopathy is a method of assessing, treating and preventing a wide range of health problems, for example; back and joint pain, sports injuries and headaches. I am passionate about helping people understand their injuries or pain and getting people moving. I use a combination of techniques throughout my treatments, which may include medical acupuncture and Kinesio taping to help you, and exercise prescription to support any manual therapy. Alongside general osteopathic treatment I am particularly interested in helping people with work related postural strain and the older patient. You can book appointments with me at my Kidderminster clinic easily online, or contact me via email, messenger or phone.

The perfect start to my first working week of the new year?

Seeing as I had to get into the car via the passenger door this morning I’m going to say I’m not a fan of this cold weather!

The roads on my way into work were pretty bad, so please do take care travelling this week. I haven’t seen a single grit lorry!!

I hope everyone has enjoyed their Christmas & New Year, and we are all ready to face January head on!

However, if you're unfortunate to be feeling unwell, especially if you have symptoms such as a cold, fever, sickness or diarrhoea, or anything contagious, then please reschedule your appointment for when you are recovered. Just use the link in your confirmation email, or get in touch via email, text or phone call.

Allowing your body to rest & recover before having osteopathic treatment will help you recover more quickly, and it will help keep others visiting clinic fit & well (especially some of my more vulnerable patients).

🙌Thank you for helping to keep the clinic running smoothly during cold & flu season.

As we settle into the longest night of the year, we might be feeling the weight of the darkness - slower, darker days, lower energy, and a natural desire to want to huddle indoors.

It's natural for us to feel less energised at this time of year, yet Christmas festivities push us to be more social and expend more of our precious energy. Make sure you look after your own energy levels, avoid giving away what you don't have.

The winter solstice marks a hopeful turning point after the long stretch of dark nights. It’s a natural reset button, and we move towards longer days and renewed energy.

I am definitely looking forward to the lengthening days, and will gratefully receive the extra energy the world has to give me.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas!

As I have now finshed for Christmas, I wanted to say a big "Thank You" to everyone who has trusted me with their wellbeing.

For everyone that recommends me to their friends, family and work colleagues, I am extremely thankful to you for sharing your experiences of osteopathy. As a small business, your recommendation is always valued.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and I'll be back in the New Year!

It’s nearly a year since I started my gym journey again. I’ve loved falling back in love with exercise, and having a gym close to home has certainly removed one obstacle to consistent training. The gym is popular and always very busy, which is fine. I get in, put on my headphones, do my thing and get out. But this morning it was blissfully quiet. No queues for kit, and I was able to take up my own space in my own time.

If you’re finding it hard to keep consistency with any activity or exercise, list all the things that might be an obstacle for this to happen, and look at how you might remove them. I’m blessed to have the time and resources to do this, and forever thankful.

Happy Friday everyone!

I know it's a nasty day weather wise, so stay warm & dry, enjoy cosying up indoors if you are lucky enough to not have to venture out & if you are heading out take your brolly and drive safely.

Have a lovely weekend 🤗🤗

Happy December!! Anyone feeling festive yet? 🫣

I’m definitely not ready for all that the festive season brings. But it’s been a busy year, and one thing I am ready for is a break.

There are a limited number of appointments available before Christmas holidays, so if you need help to feel fit and festive, book online now.

Feel free to share a photo of your Christmas tree…. I’ve set the bar really low 🤣🎄🎄

After an osteopathic appointment, you will probably be given some exercises to support your recovery & maintain your mobility.

If you've had an issue for a long time, it is common that you will have avoided certain movements, and sometimes muscles may have lost some of their strength. Personalised exercises help to retrain movement patterns, de-sensitise sore and painful structures, and rebuild strength and load capacity.

So should you do these exercises if you get discomfort or mild pain when trying them?

The simple answer is Yes! Within reason...

People worry that pain will make the problem worse, but this isn't strictly true. For most problems, a little pain won't harm you. In fact, research shows that there is a slight benefit in experiencing a little pain over no pain at all.

This doesn't mean that the exercises should have you in tears! and any discomfort should be relatively short lived. The aim isn't to cause pain, after all moving with a painful problem is unlikely to ever be pain free. The aim is more about learning that it's ok to feel the exercise.

If you're ever worried about how your exercises make you feel, then please get in touch. I will always take your opinion into account, so together we can develop an effective exercise program that you feel confident in.

Happy All Hallows' Eve!

All Hallows’ Eve has roots in Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Celebrated around October 31st to November 1st, it was believed to be a time when the veil between the living and the spirit world grew thin, allowing ancestors and other spirits to cross more easily.

People lit bonfires, held feasts, honored their ancestors, and sometimes wore disguises to confuse or ward off any wandering spirits. Many traditions we now associate with Halloween—carving lanterns, wearing costumes, and telling ghostly stories—can be traced back to Samhain. 🎃🎃

It was not originally a “scary” holiday, but more a sacred one focused on transition, remembrance, and the changing of the seasons. 🌙🕯️

I will definitely be transitioning from the clinic to the couch 😆

I hope everyone has a lovely evening & weekend, whether you're cosied up in front of the fire or out & about with pumpkins and ghouls!
