The clinic mourns the loss of our Clinic Founder and Osteopath Robert Grech's father, Laurence Grech.

Robert's dedication to his patients, attention to detail and success in his clinic mirror much of what he learnt from his father, through his support, sound principles, encouragement and mentorship.

There are no words to describe the terrible loss, but we can find solace in the knowledge that part of Laurence Grech's legacy remains present in Robert's life and work. Robert's dedication to his patients and colleagues also mirrors his Dad's passion to help others. A special dedication goes to Robert's mum, Lilian Grech who stood by her husband's side until the end. She is Robert's biggest fan and supporter and this clinic would not have existed without her.

Rest in Peace, Pa.

When it’s cold, we naturally shrug our shoulders and curl forward to conserve heat❄️

👉 Keep shoulders relaxed & chin gently back.

Unilateral (one sided) buttock pain is a common complaint we deal with. Often confused with ‘sciatica’ because it may present as one sided lower back pain which radiates down into the buttock and sometimes thigh. The difference is that there are no neurological symptoms, and pain often remains localised pain in the buttock and hip, not beyond the knee. The gluteus medius muscle is often the main issue.
frequently encounter this problem and it may arise from biomechanical issues, pelvic torsion and poor running technique. A combination of manual therapy, dry needling and graded exercises can often help manage similar conditions.

🧦Cold reduces circulation → ankles stiffen → knees & hips compensate.
👉 Warm feet = smoother movement up the body.

‘Pelvic tilt’ is a concept that many clinicians attempt to explain and highlight to patients. Targeted exercises are often given as part of ‘core’ rehabilitation. Here, we explain the reasons in a bit more detail and offer some tips, especially when exercising.
