Last Friday we said a fond farewell to one of our lovely receptionists Mia. She has been a huge asset to the team over the last couple of years and we wish her all the best for her future. She will be very missed!

Chiropractor Clare had a visitor the other day...Samba must have heard Clare treats animals too 🤣

This patient needs no introduction! The lovely Samba was recently spotted by the river in Twyford and while on her travels she popped into the clinic so I could iron out a few aches and pains she gained on her recent adventure. I'm very much hoping she makes it back to Marwell safely!

Clare here again...many of my patients will tell you that one of the simplest things I get them to do to help their recovery is DRINK MORE WATER!
I have often said I think the majority of us are walking round slightly dehydrated and it seems the NHS agree with me.
Water is SO IMPORTANT! On average, 60% of the human body is water. The recommended daily intake of water is between 2-3litres a day depending on each individual are their activity/workload. Below are some of the reason we need to keep up with our water intake.

🔸Improved mood
🔸Higher energy levels
🔸Better healing
🔸Better brain function
🔸Better sport performance
🔸Improved digestive and kidney health
🔸Maintaining better skin

If you are thirsty, you are already mildly dehydrated. We are lucky that water is readily available to us so if you want to do one thing to help yourself, the easiest thing, in my opinion, is to up the water intake. I generally advise people to increase slowly e.g. If you drink approx 500mls currently, increase intially to 850mls or 1 litre and then build on that rather than going straight from 500mls to 2.5 litres. That way your body can acclimatise to the change and you are less likely to find yourself running to the loo every 5 minutes 🤣

Did you know...leg pain is NOT always sciatica

I get a lot of people coming to see me at the clinic who tell me they have sciatica. I get it...most of us have heard of sciatica, heard of the sciatic nerve and are aware that irritation of the sciatic nerve can give us leg pain. HOWEVER, a lot of the time it isn't actually "true sciatica". A lot of the time it is actually a muscular referral primarily from the gluteal muscles that LOVE to mimic sciatic pain. Sometimes the pain is a hamstring pull. Sometimes the leg pain actually has a vascular (blood flow) cause and sometimes it is from the hip joint.
Leg pain can come from many things including muscles, joints, nerves and blood vessels — not just the sciatic nerve. That’s why a proper assessment matters, rather than assuming all leg pain is the same.

If you are struggling from pain in the leg that isn't resolving, feel free to book in for an assessment and we can advise/treat accordingly.

Clare here. This is a post I put on my own business page a couple of months ago but I wanted to share it with you all to show how K.laser can be used for healing.

This was a friend of mine who had badly sprained his ankle. The difference in the 2 photos after 3 sessions of laser is incredible. At least I think it is.

When we move, we help maintain joint health, muscle strength and coordination. Long periods of rest can cause the body to stiffen and decondition, making movement feel harder rather than easier.

Chiropractor Clare spent the weekend attending the Horses Inside Out conference mainly furthering her knowledge in order to help her equine patients. HOWEVER, one of the big take home messages was the impact the rider has on the horse. The focus of the weekend was soundness and symmetry and while none of us will ever be perfectly symmetrical, some are definitely more symmetrical than others. To quote Ros Canter who spoke at the conference "our job as riders is to be the best rider we can be for our horse". That means we partly have to be as easy to carry for our horses. If you are tight through one hip or you fix through one shoulder you are going to impact how your horse moves. So, if you are finding that you struggle with certain movements (anything from walking straight to canter leads, from changes to half-pass) the problem may partly be you.
Clare treats a lot of riders and she would be happy to do an assessment to see how she can help you help your horse.

Enjoying the conference. Sue Dyson up next...always really enjoy her talks so looking forward to that

I love learning from other equine professionals so I can help your horses even more 🐴🐴
