🌿 ONE PLANET. ONE YOU. 🌿

This Earth Day, we are reminded of something simple, yet profound…

The health of the planet and the health of your body are not separate. They are deeply connected.

At VitaliQi Holistic Health Clinic, we see this every day.

When we support the body naturally, through balance, nourishment and restoration, we are also aligning with the rhythms of nature itself.

A truly holistic approach to health means:
• Looking at root cause, not just symptoms
• Supporting mind, body and energy together
• Working with the body, not against it
• Creating sustainable wellbeing that lasts

Whether through:
Acupuncture & TCM
PEMF, Light or Shockwave therapy
Physiotherapy
Counselling
Massage
Reflexology & reik
EFT (tapping)
Coaching
Nutritional therapy
Emotional wellbeing support

…our focus is always the same.
To restore balance. To support longevity. To help you thrive.

Because when you feel well, you live differently.
And when enough of us do that… everything changes.

One planet. One you. One health.

✨ Welcoming Louis Wicking to VitaliQi Holistic Health Clinic ✨

PHYSIOTHERAPY, POST-OP REHAB & SHOCK-WAVE THERAPY

We are delighted to welcome Louis Wicking, Chartered Physiotherapist (BA, MSc, MCSP) to the VitaliQi team, starting on Thursday 16th April and open for bookings NOW.

Louis joins us, bringing a highly skilled and evidence-based approach to Physiotherapy, working from his own private treatment room within our award-winning clinic in the heart of Barnstaple. This allows for focused, one-to-one care in a quiet, professional environment, alongside our wider integrated health offering.
His work centres on restoring movement, reducing pain and supporting long-term recovery, particularly for those who are active, returning to sport, or recovering post-surgery.

Louis offers:
PHYSIOTHERAPY
Thorough assessment, hands-on treatment and personalised rehabilitation to address both acute injuries and longer-standing conditions. Louis is trained in Mulligan Concept manual therapy and sports massage, combining effective hands-on techniques with tailored exercise rehabilitation.

POST-OP REHAB
A structured and supportive programme following surgery, designed to rebuild strength, restore mobility and guide you safely back to normal activity. Whether joint replacement, ligament repair or spinal procedures, your recovery is progressed carefully and confidently.

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
An advanced, clinically proven treatment for persistent tendon and soft tissue conditions. Offered as a standalone programme or integrated into your care, shockwave therapy helps stimulate healing, reduce chronic pain and may help reduce the need for injections or surgery.

Louis also incorporates Isokinetic muscle testing and advanced technologies within his practice, providing objective measures to track progress and optimise treatment outcomes, particularly in chronic pain and performance-focused rehabilitation.

Common areas Louis can help with include:
• Tendon injuries such as Achilles, patellar and rotator cuff
• Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
• Back, neck, shoulder, hip and knee pain
• Sports injuries and return-to-sport rehabilitation
• Post-surgical recovery
• Muscle strains, joint stiffness and movement dysfunction
• Persistent or recurring pain

Each session includes a clear understanding of your condition, a personalised treatment plan, and practical guidance to support your recovery beyond the clinic.

✨ Free 20-minute online consultation available
A gentle starting point if you are unsure what you need.

📍 VitaliQi Holistic Health Clinic, Barnstaple
📅 Thursdays & Fridays, 9am – 5pm
👉 Book directly with Louis: https://bit.ly/booklouis
📞 07584 676129

We are so pleased to welcome Louis to VitaliQi, strengthening our ability to support everything from everyday pain and injury through to performance, recovery and return to full function, all within a truly integrated, holistic healthcare clinic.

Today is Endometriosis Awareness Day 💛

This one feels personal.

For so long, I didn’t have the words for what I was going through, just pain that didn’t make sense, exhaustion that couldn’t be fixed with rest, and moments where I felt like I had to push through something no one else could see. It’s hard to explain living in a body that fights you, especially when from the outside everything looks fine.

Endometriosis isn’t just “bad period pain.” It’s days cancelled, plans missed, and learning how to function through something that can be invisible but overwhelming. It’s advocating for yourself when you’re tired, and trying to be heard in a system that doesn’t always listen the first time.

Today, I’m thinking of everyone living with this, whether you’ve been diagnosed, are still searching for answers, or are quietly struggling. You’re not alone, even when it feels like it.

We deserve awareness. We deserve better care. We deserve to be believed.

And most of all, we deserve to live without having to constantly fight our own bodies.
