How true this is.

Empathy and understanding must precede advice.

Are you a mature driver who relies on being able to drive and lives in Northamptonshire? Then this FREE roadshow is for you!

Driving is an important part of our everyday life, and the Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance (NSRA) is keen to help keep mature drivers to drive safer for longer.

Our driving ability to drive changes over time for varied reasons, especially as we get older. It is important that we recognise whether and how our driving is changing so we can stay safe and protect both ourselves and those around us.

The NSRA’s Mature Driver Roadshow is aimed at drivers aged 60+ and will cover all distinct aspects of driving. There will be a short talk and then time to meet informally with our stand holders.

Free advice will be available on car adaptions, eyesight, how your prescription medications may affect you, and much more. There will also be FREE mature driver assessment available to book, delivered by IAM RoadSmart.

The roadshow takes place on Wednesday, May 7, at the Holiday Inn Corby A43, Geddington Road, Corby, NN18 8ET - (https://orlo.uk/90Z2y).

Book your FREE tickets for either the 9.30am or 1pm session via Eventbrite:

‘Feel it on the first’ - a great way to remember to do those personal checks we may not always think to do 👍🏼🍋🍒

We absolutely love BRCA Chat’s idea of “feel it on the first”, a great reminder that we should all be checking breasts (yes, men, you too, and testicles!) to check for any changes…

Very true 👍🏼

Myths about pain and ageing:
1. Pain is inevitable with ageing - NO IT IS NOT
2. If you are in pain now, you will have pain later - NOT TRUE
3. You just have to grin and bear it - NO YOU DON'T
4. There is nothing you can do for it - YES THERE IS
(Borrowed from 'Explain Pain Supercharged', by Moseley & Butler 2017)

What we call ‘a good reason to cancel’ - and a very nice note to end the week on 🤩🎉

Well this is interesting… it will be enlightening to see how it catches on. Personally, I can’t imagine not wanting or needing a human touch - it helps on more than just one level. And could AI manage to take part in the conversations that bubble up during a treatment? This week alone, I’ve discussed health, politics, economy, pets, offspring, holidays, weather and diet, amongst other subjects, with my patients.

New online booking system! From this Bank Holiday we are using a new online booking tool. The ONLY thing you need to do is update the link you have for doing this. In every other respect, things should be self-explanatory. This change coincides with an improved reception service, who can also book you in directly too. Let us know if you have any questions!
Here’s the all important new link, for use from this weekend. (If you forget, and use the old link, we will still see it for a while, and will remind you when you come in for your appointment)

Lee has worked as an osteopath at The Northampton Clinic for almost 5 years after graduating back in 2017. He grew up locally in Northampton with a passion for sport - over the years, Lee has been competitive in swimming, cricket, football, taekwando and most recently (and for the longest time) hockey!
This love of sport is what drew Lee into his career as an osteopath, and remains a large focus in his work, treating a wide range of athletes of all ages and abilities.
During his training, Lee also learnt to use cranial osteopathy techniques for a more gentle approach that can be useful for some patients (and particularly well known as an effective technique to use when treating babies).

Different descriptive words mean different things about pain. Did you know, for example, that 'acute pain' simply means pain you have had for no longer than 6 weeks continuously? 'Chronic pain' means pain you have had for longer than 12 week continuously. In between 6 and 12 weeks duration, continuous pain is described as sub-acute. (Our osteopaths can help with all 3). Pain that comes and goes (very common) is also 'episodic' pain.
