🎄 3 Ways to Release Festive Tension 🎄

The festive season often means more driving, more sitting, more phone use and a bit more stress too. These gentle movements can help reduce muscle tension, improve mobility and give your body a chance to relax before the Christmas Weekend.

⭐ Chest Opener
• Sit or stand tall
• Gently draw your elbows back to open the chest
• Take a slow breath in, then relax
Repeat 5 times to ease upper-back and shoulder tension.

🎁 Side Stretch
• Sit or stand tall
• Reach one arm overhead and gently lean to the opposite side
• Hold for 5–10 seconds
• Swap sides
Helps release tightness through the sides of the body and lower back.

🎄 Gentle Neck Nods
• Slowly nod your head forward and back
• Keep the movement small and controlled
• Breathe normally
Great for easing neck stiffness.

✨ Festive Tips:
• Move slowly and stay pain-free
• Try these once or twice a day
• Perfect for a quick reset between festive tasks

If aches and stiffness don’t take a holiday, please know you’re not on your own. I address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Save this post and if you feel tightness building this week, do these
little and often, your body will thank you.

🎄 Festive Self-Care Checklist 🎄

The run-up to Christmas can be equal parts magical… and a little bit hectic! Between wrapping gifts, carrying boxes, long drives, and squeezing in last-minute plans, our bodies can feel the pace more

Here's my simple 6-step festive checklist to keep you moving well and feeling your best throughout December:

✨ Sip water between the mince pies – your joints, muscles, and energy levels will thank you
✨ Take a daily 10-minute walk – a little movement keeps circulation flowing and lifts your mood
✨ Stretch your neck after wrapping gifts – that forward-leaning position really adds up
✨ Bend your knees when lifting boxes – protect your back from unwanted festive strains
✨ Make space for rest, not just the rush – even small pauses help your body recover
✨ Book your January MOT appointment – set yourself up for a comfortable, aligned start to the new year

If you’re ready to start 2026 feeling looser, lighter and pain-free, you can book your
January MOT through the link in my bio.

You’ve probably seen the meme…
�“If your date of birth starts with 19, you shouldn’t be wrapping presents on the floor.”

They’re joking. But as an osteopath, I can tell you why it’s actually true.

Sitting hunched forward on the floor for long stretches puts your spine into sustained flexion, overloads your lower back, and unevenly stretches your hamstrings. Add repetition with hours of wrapping and it’s no surprise you feel stiff, sore or achy afterwards.

A few simple swaps make a big difference:�✔️ Raise your wrapping to table height�✔️ Sit upright with a neutral spine, or stand�✔️ Avoid leaning forward for long periods�✔️ Take regular breaks (tea helps ☕️)

Festive habits add up and your body doesn’t stop needing care just because it’s Christmas!

Happy (pain-free) wrapping 🎁

Winter walks are one of my favourite ways to unwind — especially wandering through the countryside with my dog happily trotting beside me. As an osteopath, I know how much good a simple walk can do: it keeps your spine mobile, boosts your circulation, and helps your whole body cope better with the cold.

To make winter walking comfortable and safe, here are the tips I personally rely on (and often share with my clients):
✨ Layer up to keep your muscles warm and reduce stiffness
✨ Wear supportive, grippy footwear for confidence on frosty or muddy ground
✨ Stretch before heading out to keep your joints moving smoothly

Walking is such a simple way to move well, feel well, and support your spine — even in winter.

I’d love to know… Where is your favourite place to walk in Kent?

3 everyday habits quietly place more strain on your body than you might realise, but the good news is, each one has a simple 10-second fix.

Here are three things I see all the time in clinic:
1️⃣ Holding your phone low This lifts your shoulders and strains your neck. Quick fix: Bring your phone up to eye level for a few seconds each time you use it.

2️⃣ Sitting with your legs tucked under you This twists your pelvis and adds pressure to one side of your lower back. Quick fix: Uncross, plant your feet flat and lengthen your spine.

3️⃣ Carrying a bag on the same shoulder every day This creates tightness and imbalance through your neck and upper back. Quick fix: Swap sides daily or lighten the load.

Small changes like these can make a real difference and if you’re still feeling tight, achy or “off”, I’m here to help you move more comfortably again.

Save this post so you can try the tips later, or comment HABITS if you’d like personalised advice.

Every week in clinic, I see tiny wins that make a huge difference to how people feel.

🩵Sometimes it’s someone lifting their arm higher than they’ve managed in months. 🩵Sometimes it’s a client telling me their sleep has finally improved. 🩵And sometimes it’s simply watching someone walk out more relaxed than they arrived.

These little wins are often the first signs that your body is starting to respond to treatment.

If you’re struggling with an ache or movement that just doesn’t feel right, I’m here to help you get your own “little win” too.

Comment WIN and I’ll be in touch.

Let’s talk about a common osteopathy myth!

MYTH: Osteopathy is only for people in pain.
FACT: Osteopathy isn’t just about treating pain - it’s about helping your body work at its best. 🌿

Even if you don’t have any discomfort, osteopathy can:

✨ Improve mobility and flexibility so your joints and muscles move freely.

✨ Support posture to prevent strain from long hours at a desk or repetitive tasks.

✨ Reduce tension and stress by releasing tight muscles in your shoulders, neck, and back.

✨ Boost circulation and overall wellbeing to help your body function more efficiently.

Think of it as preventive care — looking after your body today so you can avoid problems tomorrow. Many of my patients come in just to feel more balanced, energised, and comfortable in their daily lives.

Ease tension and calm the mind with Child’s Pose

If your lower back or hips feel tight after a long day, this gentle stretch can make a world of difference.

Try this:

· Kneel on the floor with your big toes together and knees apart.
· Sit back towards your heels and reach your arms forward, resting your forehead on the floor or mat.
· Breathe slowly and deeply, letting your body soften with each exhale.

Hold for around 45 seconds (or longer if it feels comfortable).

Why it helps:

· Releases tension through the lower back and hips
· Encourages relaxation and steady breathing
· Helps quieten a busy mind after a stressful day

If you notice tightness, discomfort, or restricted movement while doing this stretch, it might be your body’s way of asking for a little extra care.

Osteopathy can help restore balance and ease through those areas of tension.

🌿Save this post to come back to next time you need a moment of calm.
