Ohayou gozaimasu! ☀️
It’s our final evening in Japan (😩😔) and I’ve just switched the work phone on.
So far, I’m impressed!!!!
I still can’t access voicemail or texts, but everything by WhatsApp, Facebook & email is tickety boo!
I’ll be able to check those tomorrow night for anyone who is waiting for a response (or you can WhatsApp me for a sooner reply)

🏅You’ve all been fantastic with the online booking system 😃 so as a reward I’ve now turned New Patient appointment bookings back on to give everyone the chance of an appointment.

There aren’t that many left in the lead up to Christmas, so if you’re thinking of booking a session please don’t leave it too close to the Christmas break!!

Looking at the names in the diary for this week and next, it looks as though I’m in for a lovely return to work!!!
See you all very soon 👀😍

Ohayou gozaimasu you lovely lot!
We’ve had the misfortune of having to visit a couple of health centres and a hospital during the first half of our Japan trip but you know what I’m like for a silver lining… ☁️⛅️
I’ve spent the time Google translating posters and picking up pointers for how the Japanese do things.

Long post alert‼️🚨

The photos of the hospital speak for themselves. Look how clean? You could eat your sushi off of that floor! Everyone wore masks. No exception. We had to buy one for 25p each 😷🤣

👟👠👞🥾👡At the GP practice, as in people’s homes & temples around Japan, shoes come off at the door. You can walk in socks or they have slippers for you to wear.

👨🏻‍⚕️Staff can’t do enough to help. The Internal Medicine Doctor personally met us at reception and took us to a consulting suite where he was assisted by a nurse & HCA 👩‍⚕️

While Google translate was doing all of the hard work, the consultation was two way traffic. The doctor listened to our concerns, ideas and experience and then worked out a way of reassuring us or testing to eliminate.

🚕👨🏻‍⚕️🩺💊🚕Our A&E journey from taxi drop off to collection was 1 hour. This included: consultation, CT scan, medication administration, scan results put on to CD.

Now, you may say “well this is an A&E that’s not under pressure”
This was the only open hospital in Kanazawa at this time. Apparently all medical facilities (apart from this one) close half day on Thursdays.
And yet there were only a handful of us in there. This is because the Japanese don’t abuse the system and this is partly because they pay a small amount of the treatment cost. ¥¥
The whole consultation, medication and on the spot abdominal CT was £100. TOTAL for us even as tourists.
We’d have gladly paid more as foreigners using their health system.

🩸💉Here you can have walk-in blood tests.
You pay around £5 for the blood draw, and additional per test. A kidney function test was £5. I noticed more specialist tests were around £10-15 at most.

💴This is because the government pay around 70% and the patient pays 30% PLUS an essential monthly insurance, like NI. This is reduced to 10% contribution for pensioners and those on low income.

While I’m fully aware that at home we pay our NI, I do wonder if we had to pay a small contribution for non life saving emergency treatments, if our waiting lists would be smaller and people would abuse it less. I’ve spent days in British GP receptions and A&Es over the years wondering if some of the ‘patients’ really needed to be there?

It would only work, however, if that money goes DIRECTLY back into the same system. Not only Training doctors, nurses and support staff, but creating a workplace they want to stay and invest in with their passion and skills.
As with all staff we’ve met here, from road sweepers to consultants, everyone takes immense pride in their work and wants to give their best.

I will say that what I’ve seen here gives me hope that our governments plan to provide more diagnosis and treatment facilities in the community to ease pressure on our hospitals will work, so let’s look after corringham & Fobbing Health Hubs and our GP practices.

1/3 of the way through our adventure in the “land of the rising sun”
So far we’ve seen the sun set over Mt Fuji from the Tokyo Sky tree and rise over Tokyo Bay, watched Godzilla movies in the Godzilla Hotel (Hotel Gracery), cuddled pooches in Akihabara and been clubbing in Shinjuku.
We rode the bullet train to Kanazawa today, ready for our next adventure in the more traditional, rural areas.
Hope you’re all looking after yourselves in my absence. Daily stretching, hydration, posture monitoring as your desks, etc!

Reminder that I’m back to work 26th November and bookings after this date can be made via my website

Fun Fact for you all this evening!

Did you know that each of the colours & shapes on the Pride Progress flag represents something or someone and the ORANGE stripe represents HEALING!!!!

As an osteopath whose main aim on a daily basis is to heal people, its nice to know I have a little place in that flag, as a healer and an ally, knowing that anyone and everyone is welcome in my clinic!

Here’s a run down of the others:

* The chevrons pointing left to right symbolize progress
* Circle - intersex (biologically have both male & female characteristics)
* RED - Life
* ORANGE - Healing
* YELLOW - Sunlight
* GREEN - nature
* BLUE - peace / harmony
* PURPLE - Spirit
* BLACK/BROWN - ppl of colour within LGBQT+ community & those lost in HIV/AIDS crisis
* PINK, LIGHT BLUE & WHITE STRIPES - Trans & non-binary

The pride progress flag isn’t about “them & us” it’s about all of us just being bloody brilliant!!!

About your Osteopath

I am a fully qualified, insured and GOsC registered osteopath & sports massage therapist based in Southend Road, Corringham as well as Birkbeck Natural Health Centre, Sidcup (Thursday 11-7) and Shenfield Osteopathic Practice (Saturday 9-1). When I was around 11, my teacher showed the class a diagram of the human skeleton & my fascination with all things ‘Anatomy’ began. That, along with the treatment of my own sporting injuries from years of competitive karate (4th Dan Wado Ryu) and my love of making others feel better led me to want to learn more about the body including it's mechanics, ways it can go wrong and how I, as a therapist, can help fix it. I graduated from the European School of Osteopathy (ESO), Maidstone with an Integrated Masters degree and a vast toolbox of techniques including articulation, manipulation and massage, which I draw upon to diagnose & treat people of all shapes, sizes, ages & conditions.

Osteopathy and Sports massage can help with the symptoms of:

Arthritis Sciatica Back / Neck Pain General aches & pains Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow Postural issues & Tension Headache Migraine Fibromyalgia Somatic Dysfunction Lumbago Runner’s knee To name but a few ...

As a primary health care system, you do not need a referral to visit an osteopath, so why not come along and see how I can help you? You’ll be in safe & capable hands :-)
