Dear clients!

I would like to inform you I decided to take some time off from September on to focus on my academic year 2025/2026.

I will have very limited appointments in the following year but it does not mean I am walking away from my practice.

I am just greedy for more knowledge and skills.

I hope you understand my decision.

Thank you

Kt 😍

As we approach short and dull days in Ireland do not forget how important day light is for us.

Excellent alternative for those spending days in the office.

Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder ( please do not confuse S.A.D with Depression)
Those days the term "Depression" is overused by many ...

If you would like to find out more about S.A.D it's a simple read .... link below

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/seasonal-affective-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20364651

My recommendation if you experience S.A.D

- exercise 💪 ( cardio + resistance training)
You can start walking daily but walk it's just a fresh air ... won't be as effective.

- review your diet
- sleep pattern
- Vit D supplementation is a must
- S.A.D Light box phototherapy

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

I have few appointments left mid December
New clients welcome in 2025

"These are all factors that modulates pain, it is a very dynamic system and can change in a flash" - Lars Avemarie

This is a paincloudification of an amazing slide from Lars Avemaries brilliant webinar "Modulation of pain and pain processing". The percentages are just an example.

We should all focus on our patients this way. A lot of factors play a role in the pain experience. Nociception is important, but there is so much more to it than only nociception.
