Be honest… how long have you been “putting up with” that ache? 👀
Here are 3 signs it’s time to see an osteopath:
✔ You stretch but the tightness always comes back
✔ You wake up stiff and sore
✔ One area hurts, then another starts
Your body is clever — it adapts.
But those adaptations can lead to ongoing pain.
At Essex Osteo in Stanford-le-Hope, we focus on why it’s happening — not just where it hurts.

💙 Flat Head Syndrome – what parents should know 💙
Flat Head Syndrome (also known as plagiocephaly or brachycephaly) is very common in babies, especially in the first few months. The good news? Early awareness makes a big difference 🌟
👶 Common causes include:
• Spending long periods lying on their back
• Limited tummy time
• A preference for turning the head to one side
• Tension from pregnancy or birth
• Premature birth or assisted deliveries
🛡️ How to help prevent it:
• Encourage regular tummy time while baby is awake
• Alternate head position during sleep
• Change the side you hold or feed your baby
• Reduce time spent in car seats, bouncers & swings
• Seek early advice if you notice head flattening or stiffness
👐 How cranial osteopathy may help:
Gentle cranial osteopathy can help release tension, improve head and neck movement, and support more even head shape development — especially when started early.

🏃♂️ Foot Pain When Running on a Treadmill? 👟
If you’re getting foot pain, numb toes, or burning sensations during treadmill runs, you’re not alone.
At Essex Osteo, we regularly see runners affected by a combination of tight running shoes and poor foot mechanics — especially with treadmill training.
Because treadmill running is repetitive, even small issues can quickly lead to symptoms like:
✔️ Forefoot or arch pain
✔️ Numbness or tingling in the toes
✔️ Heel or plantar fascia pain
✔️ Achilles or ankle tightness
✔️ Knee discomfort
💡 Simple tip:
Avoid over-tightening your shoes. Loosening your laces slightly allows your foot to move more naturally inside the shoe, supporting better foot and ankle movement and reducing pressure on nerves and soft tissue.
If symptoms keep coming back, it may be time to look deeper at your foot mechanics and footwear.

💙 Cupping Therapy for MSK Pain & Stiffness 💙
At Essex Osteo, we use cupping therapy as part of our hands-on approach to treating musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions.
✨ How can cupping help?
✔️ Reduces muscle tension
✔️ Improves blood flow and tissue healing
✔️ Helps relieve back, neck & shoulder pain
✔️ Supports recovery from sports injuries
✔️ Aids mobility and flexibility
Cupping works by creating gentle suction on the skin, helping to release tight muscles and improve circulation — often giving fast relief when combined with osteopathy.
