🦵 Can knee braces/supports help with knee osteoarthritis pain?

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a very common cause of pain, stiffness, and difficulty with everyday activities like walking or climbing stairs. A new study published in The British Medical Journal has explored whether knee braces can play a helpful role alongside usual care.
https://tinyurl.com/3fwa9vsf

🔬 What did the study look at?
This large UK clinical trial followed 466 people with knee osteoarthritis. Everyone received advice, education, and exercise guidance. Half of the group also received a carefully selected knee brace, fitted by a trained clinician, with support to help them use it consistently.

📊 What were the key findings?
✔️ People who used a knee brace alongside exercise and advice reported:
• Meaningful improvements in knee pain
• Better daily function, such as walking and standing
• Reduced pain during weight-bearing activities

The greatest benefits were seen when braces were properly fitted and used consistently, reinforcing the importance of individual assessment and guidance

🌍 Why this matters to us at City Osteopaths
We’re proud to share that this research was led by Professor Melanie Holden, who was the lead PhD supervisor of our very own Dr Daniel Bailey. This reflects our clinics’ close links with world-leading musculoskeletal research and our commitment to evidence-based care for our patients.

👐 What does this mean for you?
Knee braces aren’t a cure for osteoarthritis, but for some people they can be a useful part of a wider treatment plan, alongside exercise, education, and lifestyle support.

If you’re living with knee OA and would like to receive the best package of care possible, we’re here to help.

📝 Thorough medical history – We begin by taking the time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical background.
🔍 Detailed examination – This helps us identify what may be contributing to your pain or discomfort.
🗣️ Clear explanation – Your diagnosis and personalised treatment plan are fully discussed with you, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions or raise any concerns.
🤲 Treatment tailored to you – This may include manual therapy, movement-based techniques, and guided exercises, depending on your needs and goals.

Our aim is to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident throughout your care, every step of the way 😊

You may have heard a lot about AI tools like ChatGPT being used in healthcare — but it’s important to be clear about what they are (and aren’t) useful for.

✨ ChatGPT isn’t a doctor
It doesn’t diagnose conditions or suggest treatments, and it should never replace professional healthcare advice.

💡 So how can it help patients?
Used responsibly, tools like ChatGPT can help people:

• 🧠 Understand medical terms or reports in clearer, everyday language
• ❓ Prepare focused questions ahead of an appointment
• 📝 Organise symptoms, timelines, or concerns more clearly
• 📚 Access general, evidence-based health information

⏱️ Why this matters
Appointments are often time-limited. Arriving better prepared can help you communicate more clearly, focus on what matters most, and ultimately get more value from your time with a healthcare professional — without self-diagnosing or self-treating.

🤝 At City Osteopaths, we support informed, engaged patients. Better understanding leads to better conversations — and more effective, collaborative care.

🚨 Important Product Recall for Parents! 🚨

If you use Nestlé SMA formula milk for your baby, please check your batch numbers right away. Nestlé has issued a precautionary recall due to the possible presence of cereulide (toxin), which may cause symptoms such as 🤢 nausea, 🤮 vomiting and 🤕 abdominal cramps.

Even if your baby seems well, it’s vital to stop using any affected formula immediately.

✅ You can safely switch to another formula — there’s no evidence that changing brands causes harm.

If you’re using the prescription-only SMA Alfamino (several batches are affected), please speak to your GP or pharmacist to arrange a new supply.

Pilates is one of the most effective forms of exercise for supporting low back pain — especially for expecting or new mums 🤰💪.

It helps strengthen the core, pelvic floor, and postural muscles that work extra hard during pregnancy and childbirth.

That’s why our specialist obstetric and paediatric osteopath, Jennifer, is also a qualified Clinical Pilates instructor ✨. And to stay on top of her own practice, she attends weekly Pilates classes led by a physiotherapist — because even experts need to look after their bodies, too 🧘‍♀️.

If you’d like expert guidance on how Pilates could support your recovery, mobility, or post-natal wellbeing, you can book an appointment with Jennifer via our website:

🚗 Baby & Child Car Seat Safety in Cold Weather ❄️

As temperatures drop, it’s tempting to keep little ones wrapped up in thick coats when strapping them into their car seats — but did you know this can compromise their safety?

👉 Bulky clothing can prevent the harness from fitting snugly, leaving extra space that can cause a child to slip forward in an accident.

Here’s how to keep them safe and warm:
🧣 Buckle your child in without a coat — the harness should sit flat and snug.
🧥 Lay a blanket or their coat over the harness once they’re secured.
🪶 Choose thin, warm layers like fleece or thermal base layers instead of padded outerwear.
🌡️ Warm up the car before setting off when possible.

If you’re ever concerned about your child’s posture, comfort, or development, our paediatric osteopath (Jennifer) can help assess and support healthy musculoskeletal growth.

What’s the most common mistake people make after an injury? 🤔

Many people think an injury has fully healed as soon as the pain disappears. But pain is only one part of recovery. Your body still needs time to regain normal strength, control, and movement. Going straight back to full activity too soon can irritate the injury or even cause new issues. ⚠️

A better approach is gradual progress. 🔄

For example, after a recent hip strain, I paused squats and deadlifts for a few weeks to avoid aggravating the area. Even when the pain settled, I didn’t jump straight back into heavy lifting. Instead, I made my substitute exercises (like Spanish squats and single-leg RDLs) more challenging by slowly increasing the weight. 🏋️‍♂️⬆️

Once I can perform these with as much load as is practical, I’ll return to squats and deadlifts—starting very light and building up steadily. It may take around four weeks to return to my previous training level, even though the painful stage only lasted two. ⏳

The key message: knowing how to progress (and sometimes regress) your activity safely is essential for a healthy recovery. 💡

If you're struggling to move past an injury, we’re here to help.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of chairing and judging the research presentations at the 2025 Institute of Osteopathy Conference at the Leonardo Hotel in London. With almost 500 osteopaths attending over the two days—including colleagues from across the globe—it was an inspiring celebration of innovation and collaboration within our profession.

I was also delighted to share the preliminary findings of the REACH project alongside my master’s research student. Our work explores how osteopathy can support public health by offering guidance around diet, exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol consumption—an important step in understanding how our profession can contribute more broadly to community wellbeing.

Staying Active During Injury Recovery 🏋️‍♂️

After a recent hip strain (the problem with getting closer to 50!) I’ve had to temporarily modify my lower-body training. I’ve swapped out heavy lifts like squats for single-leg Romanian deadlifts (RDLs) and Spanish squats — exercises that stimulate the muscle through high muscle tension rather than heavy weight.

These movements allow me to keep my legs strong while avoiding straining to lift heavy weights that would aggravate my hip. It’s a great reminder that continuing to train through injury — when done safely — can actually support recovery by maintaining strength, flexibility and confidence in movement.

The key is adaptation. Knowing what to do and how to load safely makes all the difference in returning to full fitness efficiently and without setbacks.

If you’re managing an injury but want to keep active, our team can help you find the right balance between recovery and performance.

💪 New Research Supports Our Proven Approach for Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

A recent clinical trial has confirmed what we’ve seen in our clinic for years — combining dry needling (medical acupuncture) with eccentric exercise (special movements where the muscle is loaded as it lengthens) provides superior results for people suffering from tennis elbow.

The study compared three groups:
• 🧵 Dry needling + eccentric exercise
• 💊 Oral anti-inflammatory medication + eccentric exercise
• 💧 Topical anti-inflammatory gel + eccentric exercise

🔹 Results: All groups improved, but the dry needling + exercise group experienced the greatest pain reduction and improvement in arm function.

🔹 Conclusion: The combination of these treatments is more effective than medication-based approaches for managing lateral epicondylitis.

If you’re struggling with persistent elbow pain, we can help you get back to doing what you love.
