As the days get colder, we tend to curl inward — jackets up, shoulders tense, more time spent sitting.

Here are 5 gentle stretches to help you ease winter tension and keep your body moving well:

• Neck circles — soften tight desk-shoulders
• Shoulder rolls — open up the upper back
• Cat/cow — nourish the spine
• Hip openers — release the lower back
• Gentle spinal twist — encourage mobility

Take a few minutes each day, breathe deeply, and notice how your body responds.
Your future self will thank you!

If you’re feeling increased aches or need more personalised guidance, our clinicians are here to help.

At Church Street Practice, we believe in supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and that’s exactly what homeopathy does.

Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic form of medicine that works with your body, not against it. It focuses on treating the whole person body, mind, and emotions rather than just the symptoms. Whether you’re struggling with stress, sleep issues, low energy, or recurring health concerns, our experienced homeopath will take the time to understand your unique story and create a remedy tailored just for you.
Many of our patients say they leave feeling calmer, more balanced, and more in tune with themselves.

Here’s a simple daily movement to try: standing hip openers + spinal side bends for 1–2 minutes each side (e.g. lift knee and circle, then side bend). This kind of micro-movement keeps joints lubricated, muscles primed, and posture engaged. It’s not flashy, but consistency over time matters. Pair with monthly checkups, osteopathic support, and mindful posture, and you build resilience against cold, stiffness, and injury.

As coats, scarves, and layers become part of daily life, our posture can suffer. Our shoulders hunch forward, neck strains, back tension builds. Add colder temps, less movement, and you’ve got the recipe for discomfort.

Here are quick posture tips: stand tall, keep shoulders back, periodically roll your shoulders, and take mini breaks to stretch. And if your body is already speaking (aches, stiffness, tension), we’re here to listen and intervene. Now’s a great time for a gentle tune-up.

I am excited to announce that I will now be working from Church Street Practice in Bradford-on-Avon!

✨ I will be offering Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage exclusively here ✨

The practice has been established for over 35 years and is widely respected as a leading centre for natural healthcare in the area. One of the things that resonates most with me is their commitment to understanding the root cause of people’s health concerns, something that deeply aligns with my own approach to care.

It’s a privilege to join such an experienced and well-regarded team ☺️

As the air turns crisp and we begin to spend more time indoors, our joints and muscles often feel the change first. At Church Street, we believe movement is medicine. Small daily mobilisations, gentle stretching, posture resets, these help maintain circulation, joint lubrication, and resilience.

Pair that with osteopathy or acupuncture sessions, and you’re giving your body a fighting chance against winter stiffness and aches. Whether you’re walking, doing light yoga, or even micro-breaks at your desk, consistency matters. If you feel tightness, twinges, or loss of mobility, we can help assess and treat. Let’s keep you moving, not just reacting.

In the middle of busy lives focusing on careers, caring for family, endless to-do lists...it’s easy to let your own wellbeing slip to the bottom of the pile. But your body has a way of reminding you when it’s time to slow down. Those aches, sleepless nights, or low moods are often gentle alarm bells telling you to pause and reset.

✨ Taking time each day to focus on you each day is essential. Whether that’s eating well, moving your body, or booking an osteopathy or acupuncture session to support balance and ease, every small act of self-care helps you feel stronger, calmer, and more resilient.

Your health underpins everything you do. So, this season, choose to put yourself first and live your best life from a place of wellbeing. 💚

We don’t wait for pain to strike. We stay ahead of it. As the seasons shift, your body subtly changes too. That’s why a preventative osteopathy check in November is a smart move: posture changes, muscle tightness, joint stiffness often begin quietly.

If it’s been more than 4-6 months since your last visit, or if life’s been busier than self-care, schedule a check now. Past clients, you’re welcome back anytime. Your body deserves regular care, not just crisis fixes.

In colder months, tension, stress, and stiffness often creep in first along the neck, shoulders, and spine. At Church Street Practice, many clients find that combining osteopathy and acupuncture offers deeper and longer-lasting relief.

Osteopathy works by realigning, mobilising, and easing structural tensions; acupuncture complements this by targeting energy flow, nerve regulation, and soft tissue release. Especially now, it’s an ideal time to try the combo if you haven’t before. Whether you’ve been with us for years or are seeking care for the first time, we can tailor a plan just for you.
