Waking up feeling achy is more common than you’d think 🛌

Your sleep position and what you got up to the day before can leave certain joints feeling a little jammed or stiff by morning.

But don’t worry — if you regularly wake with neck or back pain, there’s LOTS you can do to feel better 🙏🏼

✨ Start with gentle stretches to warm up your joints.
✨ Consider taking an anti-inflammatory painkiller to take the edge off.
✨ Apply an ice pack to calm inflammation and reduce stiffness.
✨ Try not to stress — it happens to many people.
✨ Stay hydrated to help your body flush out inflammation.
✨ Reach out to your osteopath (i.e me 😉) for extra support.

You don’t have to start your day in pain — small steps make a big difference.

👉 If this sounds like you, send me a message or book an appointment. Let’s get you moving comfortably again!

A space to breathe.

People often come to my clinic because they’re in pain — back pain, neck tension, headaches, or that constant sense of tightness that never quite goes away.

But what I hope they also find here is more than just hands-on treatment.

I try to offer a calm space.

A space to pause.
To breathe.
To talk.
To begin to heal.

We don’t always realise how much our emotional world shapes our physical one. Stress, anxiety, grief, overwhelm — they all find their way into the body. Tight shoulders, shallow breathing, disrupted sleep — the body often speaks the words we don’t.

Sometimes, simply taking a moment to sit with someone outside your everyday routine (like your osteopath) can start to release some of that built-up tension — physical and emotional. The simple act of being listened to, of slowing down, helps the nervous system begin to unwind.

Our pain levels, our sleep quality, and our ability to bounce back from challenges are all deeply connected to how we’re feeling day to day.

Healing isn’t just about the muscles or the joints — it’s about the whole person.

So, as you move along your (osteo)path to recovery, remember this:

✨ Be gentle with yourself.
✨ Notice the small wins — they matter.
✨ Give yourself permission to rest, breathe, and simply be.

Healing doesn’t happen in a rush. It unfolds quietly, when you make space for it.

🏃‍♂️ If you’re running a spring marathon, you need to start doing these 3 exercises NOW!

As an osteopath, I treat and support lots of marathon runners through their training blocks — and one of the most common things I see, especially early on, are shin splints and calf strains 🥴 These often come from neglecting key lower leg muscles that stabilise and absorb load with every stride.

Here are 3 essentials to add to your routine 👇

1️⃣ Tibialis Anterior
👉 Heel walks — walk 20–30m on your heels, keeping your toes lifted.
💡 Builds strength through the front of the shin to help reduce shin splints.

2️⃣ Tibialis Posterior
👉 Single-leg calf raises with a twist — lift up, then slowly lower while turning the heel slightly inwards.
💡 Targets the inner calf and improves foot stability.

3️⃣ Triceps Surae (Gastrocnemius + Soleus)
👉 Bent-knee and straight-knee calf raises — hit both layers of the calf.
💡 Builds endurance, power, and resilience for long runs 💪

Strong calves = smoother miles, fewer niggles, and faster recovery 🏃‍♀️✨

We’re now just under 6 months out from the London Marathon 🎯 So if you’re already getting started with your training — well done! 🙌 Now’s the perfect time to book a pre-training screening with one of our osteopaths to make sure your body’s ready to handle the miles ahead 🩺💥
