❄️ Why does pain feel worse in winter?
Cold weather can increase muscle and joint stiffness by reducing blood flow and tissue flexibility. Changes in atmospheric pressure may also affect sensitive joints, especially in people with arthritis or previous injuries. In winter, we tend to move less, which can further increase stiffness and discomfort. Staying warm, keeping gently active, and maintaining good mobility can help reduce these seasonal symptoms.

Osteopathic treatment can help reduce winter-related pain by improving joint mobility, muscle flexibility, and circulation. Gentle manual techniques support better movement, reduce stiffness, and help the body adapt more easily to cold weather. Regular care can also help manage chronic pain and prevent seasonal flare-ups.

🌸 Did you know your baby’s position can influence how your body feels during pregnancy — and even how labour begins?

As your baby grows, small postural or pelvic imbalances can make a big difference. Gentle osteopathy can help your body stay balanced, giving your baby the best space to move into their ideal position.

Remember: comfort for you = space for baby 🤍

🎾Racket sports improve brain health and reduce the risk of dementia!

Studies have shown that playing racket sports like tennis, badminton, and squash can sharpen cognitive function and reduce the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

Why? Because these sports require:

-Quick decision-making

-Strategic thinking

-Hand-eye coordination

-Fast footwork and reflexes

This combination stimulates both the motor and executive function areas of the brain. In fact, a 2016 study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that racket sports were the best at reducing risk of death from any cause, including brain-related diseases.

🧠 So when you play, you’re not just smashing a shuttle — you’re boosting your brainpower too!

🧐MRI SCANS🧐

🧠 “My MRI shows a disc bulge… so that must be the cause of my pain, right?”

Not always. But sometimes—yes.

MRI scans are powerful tools. They help detect serious issues like:
🔹 Fractures
🔹 Tumors
🔹 Severe disc herniations
🔹 Infections or structural changes
…that require specific medical attention.

✅ So yes—sometimes getting an MRI is absolutely the right call.

But here’s the catch:
MRIs also pick up normal age-related changes that don’t always cause pain.

📊 Research shows:
✔️ 30% of 20-year-olds
✔️ 50% of 40-year-olds
✔️ 80% of 60-year-olds
have disc bulges, degeneration, or herniations—with no symptoms at all.

This means:
🚫 An “abnormal” scan doesn’t always mean something is wrong.
🚫 And a “normal” scan doesn’t mean your pain isn’t real.

Pain is influenced by many things scans can’t see:
🔹 Muscle tension
🔹 Joint restrictions
🔹 Postural imbalances
🔹 Movement habits
🔹 Stress + nervous system sensitivity

👐 As an osteopath, we work with your whole body, not just what shows on a screen.
We assess how your body moves, compensates, and adapts—because that’s often where the root of the pain lives.

✨ Bottom line:
MRIs are valuable—but they’re just one piece of the puzzle.

📍 Need clarity around your scan or symptoms? We are here to help you.

🤰Rib pain during pregnancy is common, especially in the second and third trimesters. It can be caused by several factors, including:

📚Causes of Rib Pain During Pregnancy:

-Baby’s Growth – As the uterus expands, it pushes against the ribs, causing discomfort.
-Hormonal Changes – The hormone relaxin loosens ligaments and muscles, which can lead to rib pain.
-Baby’s Position – If the baby is kicking or pressing against the ribs, it can cause sharp or aching pain.
-Weight Gain – Extra weight can put pressure on the ribs and back.
-Indigestion or Acid Reflux – Common in pregnancy, acid reflux can cause a burning sensation in the chest and ribs.
-Postural Changes – As the belly grows, posture changes can strain the back and ribs.
-Costochondritis – Inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone can cause sharp pain.

💪Osteopathy can help with rib pain during pregnancy💪
