💙Have you ever had a scan or an X-ray, only to be left feeling more confused than reassured?
As osteopaths, we take the time to explain your findings clearly and calmly, in simple, everyday language,not medical jargon.
After a scan or X-ray, you’ll usually receive a written report, either directly or via your GP. While this report is important, it can often feel overwhelming or unclear if you’re not familiar with medical terms.
If you’d like help understanding what has been identified, we’re here to:
👉Explain the report in plain English
👉Talk through what it means for you
👉Discuss whether any further steps or treatment may be needed

👉If you’re coming to see us and have had a recent scan or X-ray, it’s helpful to bring a copy of the report with you. You can usually request this from your GP’s secretary or receptionist.
If you’d like guidance, reassurance, or clarity,just ask. We’re always happy to help.

⛷Just a few simple movements before skiing can help you move better and safer. Preparing your body before hitting the slopes can make a real difference in how you move, perform, and stay injury-free. A good warm-up helps your muscles wake up and prepares your body for the demands of skiing.
👉 Start by activating your core, gently warming your body from the inside out to improve control and stability on the slopes.
👉 Move into dynamic stretches, focusing on your legs and lower back. Exercises like lunges, leg swings, and hip circles for around 5 minutes are a great place to start.
👉 Add ankle mobility exercises, such as ankle circles or gentle calf raises, to improve balance and support your knees while skiing.
👉 Activate your glutes with simple movements like squats or glute bridges to help protect your hips and lower back.
👉 Follow with light cardio, such as jogging on the spot or brisk walking, to raise your heart rate and increase circulation.
👉 Finish with a few deep breathing exercises to centre your focus and prepare your mind for the run ahead.
Taking a few minutes to warm up can help you ski with more confidence, control, and enjoyment. Stay safe and have a fantastic time on the slopes .

💛A calm reset as the new year begins.😊
A gentle reset for the new year ✨As the year draws to a close, it’s a good moment to pause, reflect, and reset.
Rather than rushing into big goals, think about how you want to feel...lighter, stronger, more balanced, and start with small, supportive steps.
💫 Keep your body moving. Gentle exercise and daily movement help keep joints and muscles supple.
💫 Prioritise rest. Good-quality sleep is where your body restores, repairs, and gets the most from any treatment.
💫 Stay hydrated and well nourished. Wholesome food and enough water can help reduce inflammation and support your energy levels.
💫 Be mindful of posture, breathing, and how you move through your day. Small moments of awareness really do add up.
💫 And if you’re feeling aches, stiffness, or imbalance, don’t wait. Getting support early can make all the difference.
Everything is connected, movement, rest, hydration, mindset.
🧘‍♂️ Give yourself permission to reset, recharge, and begin the new year feeling more aligned, comfortable, and confident.

😞💛Why might you feel low in winter, and how can we help?
✨As the days get shorter and sunlight becomes scarce, many people notice a drop in their mood, energy and motivation. This seasonal shift can bring on feelings of low energy, mood changes, difficulty concentrating, feeling of irritation, hopelessness and guilt. This is often linked to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a common seasonal mood change that can affect concentration, sleep, irritability and even day-to-day enjoyment.
☀️Reduced exposure to natural light during autumn and winter disrupts the body’s internal clock and lowers serotonin levels—a key neurotransmitter that regulates mood—leading to these seasonal challenges.
👉Recognising these signs is essential for understanding and addressing the condition effectively.
💙Osteopathy can offer gentle support throughout the winter months by easing physical tension, improving mobility and reducing the discomfort that often makes people feel even more sluggish or low. When your body feels freer and more comfortable, it often has a positive effect on your mental well-being too.
💙If you’re feeling low, or if pain or stiffness is stopping you from getting outdoors or doing the activities you enjoy, we’re here to help. Sometimes even small improvements in physical comfort can make a big difference to how you feel emotionally.
