⭐ Top Tip Tuesday!⭐
Our lifestyles have become so busy and it is often difficult to find time to concentrate on our own health and wellbeing. Usually it is when our health begins to suffer and our bodies start to send out alarm signals which force us to slow down, when we really start to focus on our selves.
Taking a break from our normal everyday routines to focus on 'self-care' is so important. Which means taking time each day to focus on our wellbeing. Just a few minutes each day can give your body and mind the break it needs to receive instant benefits in being able to manage stress, depression and anxiety.

🚨 Chronic symptoms with no clear medical explanation? This might change how you see your body.
Over the next few months, we’re sharing 1 short-form video every Monday with SIRPA practitioners and people who’ve recovered from chronic neuroplastic symptoms!

You’ll get:
🔹 What SIRPA practitioners actually do
🔹 Why symptoms like pain, fatigue, dizziness, gut issues and anxiety can become chronic
🔹 The science behind the mindbody / neuroplastic approach
🔹 Simple exercises you can try yourself
🔹 Real recovery stories from people who’ve been there

This isn’t about “it’s all in your head.”
It’s about understanding how the nervous system learns danger – and how it can learn safety again.

🎥 First video drops tomorrow!!
Follow us so you don’t miss it 📲

👉 Comment “START” if you want to understand your symptoms differently 😇

Many of you know that I, Pippa, the owner/osteopath of Osteopathy For All used to have
Well, this week I am on a sneaky break visiting family and doing, amongst other things, some cross country skiing. In 2013 ( and '14, 15, 16 and 17) I never believed I would be pain free enough to walk round the block, let alone get on a pair of skis again.
But by gaining an understanding as to how my nervous system was I learnt how previous trauma and events had influenced my neural pathways and were influencing my brain's pain pathways. I also started to understand how stress was influencing my function.
Discovering the SIRPA approach meant I was able to start to reprocess my pain and work with my body and emotional regulation to find a sense of safety and and the ability to be less tense and reactive to the world. This led to being pain free most of the time.
Now what has skiing got to do with this. Well, partly I wouldn't have believed it possible to be able to ski again but yesterday learning a new physical skill reminded me of how much more aware I am now of the sensations that I am experiencing in my body and how to be better and interpreting them better. In my fibro days almost every sensation felt dangerous and my brain and body reacted to it. That could be a movement, but it could even be a loud noise or an over full stomach. Everything was on high alert ⚠️ and consequently my system felt in fight/flight or freeze the whole time. Now I can feel a sensation put a pause in before my body reacts, not always, but often. And this is a basic beginning step that the or somatic tracking taught me.
I was able to change the automatic response of many of the neural pathways that had been created in a 'dangerous' feeling scenario. In turn this meant the super, overtight muscles and over reactive systems in my body calmed down and my lessened. I didn't believe it was possible but I am not alone in having such a recovery so if you are curious then follow along for a bit and see if we might be able to help you Change Your Pain

🤯 Understanding the Stress Response🤯

Our body's normal response to stress is essential, it keeps us out of danger and keeps us alive. However, when it is activated for a prolonged period of time, this is when it can become detrimental to our health and wellness on both a physical and emotional level.

Stressors vary from person to person as does the response to them but when they become prolonged we stop being able to adapt as well and the response starts to escalate. We move in to the flight/fight stage and we may become more fearful, suffer from panic attacks or become more irritable and short tempered.
Often this stage feels like the body is buzzing there is a sense of vibratory agitations and we are unable to settle.

At this stage is becomes harder to regulate the stress response and this can feel really overwhelming. As hard as it is, this is the time to seek support and our specialist stress illness recovery trained osteopaths can help.

🍯 Happy Winnie-the-Pooh Day 🍯

As many of you know, our practice is just a short distance from Ashdown Forest, the beautiful landscape that inspired the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh stories.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the much-loved bear and the magical forest that has captured hearts for generations — a perfect moment to celebrate both story and place.

In true holistic fashion, we’re combining our love of Pooh with the joy of gentle movement. The link below shares a lovely walking route through Ashdown Forest, taking in many of the famous locations from the books, including 100 Acre Wood and The Enchanted Place.
