Dr Braaksma explained why Vitamin D is important to keep bones strong and healthy. "We get vit D mainly from sunlight and a small amount comes from our diet. Food sources alone might not provide sufficient vit D during the winter months and therefore vit D supplements are recommended for everyone from October to March. Some people are at higher risk of vit D deficiency and they should take a supplement all year round (pregnant or breastfeeding, age under 5 or over 64, ethnic groups with dark skin, limited sun exposure, strict vegan or vegetarian diet). Public Health Scotland recommends a daily supplement containing 10mcg (400 iu) of vitamin D."

Starting to think about Christmas presents? We do vouchers.

Our gift vouchers can be used against products or therapies. You can specify a treatment for them, or give a value – and they can get a present which is a lot more personal than another pair of socks or a novelty mug.

Maybe a massage? Or a physio treatment? Something they need and would enjoy, but maybe wouldn't get for themselves.

Buy in person at our reception (we’re at 55-56 West Clyde Street, Helensburgh) or online at https://thelomondclinic.com/gift-vouchers/

We've been getting a lot of new photography over the past few months - we're a people-business, and being able to show all of us here in the clinic and what we do is really important. And we've been really fortunate to have had some (= a lot of) help from the amazing https://heathermayphotography.co.uk

Heather's brilliant. Her photos are great. We thoroughly recommend her. If you or someone you know need a photographer, get in touch with her.

Here's some of the stuff she's taken for us 📸😍

ps any dodgy cropping is our doing, not Heather's!

Staying active doesn't have to mean joining a gym or trying to keep up with people half your age.

Our physio-led exercise classes are different - they're about building strength in ways that actually help with daily life. Better balance, more flexibility, feeling steadier on your feet. All the things that mean you can keep doing what you love.

Our classes are designed by a physiotherapist, and you’ll see Sakshi at the beginning and end of each class block, to make sure you get what you need from each session.

And the classes themselves are run by Rachael – with her 18 years of experience and qualifications in everything from cardiac rehab to postural stability.

Our reviews speak for themselves.

It’s £160 for a 10-week block (classes twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursdays) which includes physio assessments. Give us a call on 01436 672677 to book in or if you've any questions.

Just a wee reminder that our Christmas boxes are here...but they won't be for much longer! We launched them at our recent Christmas event, and they’re now available to order – but please be aware that stocks are limited and once they’re gone, they’re gone. we wouldn't want you to be disappointed, this year’s sets from Environ and Advanced Nutrition Programme have excellent products (naturally!) and are great value, with lots of added extras. They make perfect presents, either for your or for someone else, so get one while they're here!

You can see more about them here: https://thelomondclinic.com/2025/09/17/christmas-boxes-2025-environ-and-advanced-nutrition-programme-gift-sets/

Or pop in and ask!

We have a *brilliant* Physiotherapy team here at the Clinic. Zena and Sakshi are outstanding – they know their stuff, and are friendly, caring and diligent with it. Really approachable, helpful and (very) qualified.

So, if you’ve been putting up with pain or discomfort, don’t - make a physio appointment with us.

Joanne is getting in to the Halloween vibe by showing us how to use therapy cups to catch spiders … retraining may be required (sterilisation did follow this process)
