• If there’s one thing we’ve all learnt this year, it’s how to interact online. There are thousands of online exercise classes available. And many experts offering virtual training sessions. Truly something for everyone. But just a quick word of warning about following online workouts where there’s no interaction with the instructor. Be mindful of form. Especially if you’re lifting weights. It’s easy to pick up injuries when weights are too heavy or lifted incorrectly. So, if you’re a beginner then a ‘live’ session, where the instructor can make sure you’re exercising safely is probably best.
If you are carrying a sports or exercise related injury then Osteopathy could help.

• A quick word about exercising and the great outdoors. I know that we’re heading into Winter but don’t let that put you off togging up and heading out. As the Walker and Author, Alfred Wainwright, said: “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” Outside exercise doesn’t need to mean running or cycling – a good long walk can be a very sociable option and for those lucky enough to have outside space – some vigorous gardening can really burn the calories.

• For those new to exercise -well done! Maybe you’ve started a walking or running programme or bought yourself a bike. Whatever method you choose – take it slowly. Especially if you haven’t exercised your muscles for a long time. There are many benefits to a slow and steady approach (both in terms of effort and frequency). You are more likely to stay committed if you don’t feel your new hobby is taking over your life. And less likely to injure yourself. Which would put you straight back to square one.

We would like to say what a privilege it is to keep supporting you as we all adapt to our new world. With much change again around the corner, it's important that we take control where we can - even if it's only of something small. It also seems timely to remind ourselves of the need to be kind to ourselves.

We may need to reframe our thinking around exercise and try something different. Or, for those of us not currently commuting,
could you fit in a yoga class, extend that dog walk, or organise a game of tennis at a public court.

We could also remember the effects of exercise in reducing anxiety, enabling the brain to be more sensitive to joy, and improving sleep quality, amongst others

Hello and Happy New Year to All

Our new start to the year is an exciting one. After 18 years in our current premises, we felt the need for a refreshed, smarter space.

We are dedicated to our current location and the ease of access and location for our patients, so we have not moved far!

From 03 February, you will find us located in the same building, on the same floor, but just to the left of the lifts.
Our contact details remain unchanged.

We continue to be the familiar team, assisting you to maintain continuous health care and very much look forward to seeing you next door.

Same building, same floor, just turn left when you exit the lift.
