The days are lengthening, there is a spark somewhere re-ignighting a desire to get out there and do stuff! It is a bit early to go mud wrestling and work on the garden too much, I reckon we still have a few freeze - thaws left before spring creeps over the horizon.
If you have been inactive over the winter for any reason it would be wise to start moving now, in advance of any hard activity; turning the garden upside down, training for a 10K, half marathon, long bike ride, big walk. Small steps first and build up to where you need to be. We have found, over the years, that our biggest influx to the practice comes in the spring from the over winter hibernation.

If you have niggles which you can't throw off give us a call, on: 07903 439235, leave a message and we'll return your call, or you could book in online via this link: https://osteopathy-works-ltd.au1.cliniko.com/bookings

Start with Self-Love This February
February is traditionally known as the month of love, but before you rush to show appreciation for everyone else, take a moment to think about you.
How often do you give your own body the same care and attention you offer to others?
Self-love isn’t selfish, it’s essential. When you take time to look after yourself, you have more energy, patience, and joy to give to everyone around you.
How to Show Yourself Some Love This Month
Listen to your body.
If you’re feeling tired, tense or sore, don’t ignore it. Rest when you need to and seek support if something doesn’t feel right.
Move because it feels good.
Exercise shouldn’t be punishment; it’s about celebrating what your body can do. Choose activities that make you feel strong, flexible and happy.
Take a break from ‘busyness’.
Even five minutes of calm can reset your nervous system. Try deep breathing, stretching, or a quiet walk in nature.
Book some time for you.
Whether it’s a walk, a good book, or a session with your osteopath, make self-care a non-negotiable.
Osteopathy supports your body’s natural balance and helps ease the physical tension that often builds up from stress and overwork. It’s one of the most powerful ways to invest in your wellbeing, a true act of self-love.
This February, give yourself the same kindness you show to others.
Because when you truly take care of yourself, everything else flows more easily.

There is a tendancy to hunker down in winter, it is understandable; cold, dark, wet, short days, the warmth of an open fire are going to keep us indoors until spring pokes its head above the slowly lightening skies. The problem with this ( and I am speaking from personal experience) is that, as soon as the ground is dry enough to start digging, we get out and do just that - for hours on end. Not a bad thing in itself but if you have been hibernating for the last three months you will have stiffened up, your muscles will have become weaker ( as we age it becomes very difficult to get this strength back once it has gone, alarmingly, we loose around 1% of muscle mass per year after the age of 35. I reckon that, as I am the same weight as I was in my thirties I must have replaced muscle with cake! ).
By extension, if one is weaker, the tasks become harder and one places oneself in a position of compromise; muscles tire faster, joint control decreases and the potential for injury rises. You end up hurting yourself and need help ( for help see: need an osteopath).

Keeping active during this time of year is incredibly important. Weight bearing activities are most significant; gym work, pilates, circuit training, walking- anything you can manage on a regular basis that involves working the legs (swimming is not one of those activities, there is nothing wrong with swimming but in itself will not keep your back as strong as other, weight bearing, exercise). Start easy and work up, develop your own programme of exercise or find someone who can help. What ever it is you do make it progressive, pushing a five kilo weight on day one is great, if you are still using the same weight, or doing the same number of repititions after six weeks then you are likely not improving as much as you could.

I hope this helps, if it does I'll likely not be seeing you in the spring. If you need advice this is our number: 07903 439235. If you need to visit the practice you could call on the number above or visit the website and book online
