My first ever guest appearance on a podcast. I didn’t realise the video would be posted, which explains my “informal” appearance and the odd-looking sound-absorbing cushion arrangement. 🙄

Delighted to announce that, as of today, we are now COVID secure and OPEN FOR FACE-TO-FACE CONSULTATIONS, albeit on a restricted schedule. We have been overwhelmed by all the good wishes and support we have received from patients over the last few months - it really has made things easier. All Kevin's appointments are taken for this week, which is hugely encouraging. We are now booking for next week. Vinod will resume after the summer.

ONLINE CONSULTATIONS ONLY

To all our existing and future patients: with regret, for the foreseeable future we are now only offering online consultations, as we can no longer see patients for hands-on treatment .

Please still ring the clinic number (020 8366 0831) or email us on info@firstcallosteopaths.co.uk if you would like to make an appointment with either Vinod or Kevin or even if you just need someone to talk to.

We look forward to resuming normal services (whenever that may be). Please all stay at home, keep your distance and stay well. Best wishes, from all at 1st Call Osteopaths.

Hi All, apologies for not having posted for a while. My latest blog post explains the reason for my social media silence.

Well, it's been quite a while since I wrote any blog articles. Not because I've been idle, far from it. I've been racing to complete my Masters degree before my 50th birthday (you can complete it in 6 years, but I took 3), and I did it! [pats own back]

Good decision to allow use of cannibis oil in UK for certain conditions in children, but what about pain-relief for adults with neurodegenerative conditions? I suspect The Home Secretary's decision may have more to do with recent emotive press coverage than bias-free evidence.

Every year thousands of patients will make an emergency visit to their osteopath after having spent the day clearing leaves from the garden and guttering. Usually, they will have been relatively inactive over the summer and wake up on a Saturday morning with a strong impulse to spend the whole day r...

General Osteopathic Council has just launched the new 3-year cycle for . I like the increased emphasis on reflective practice with colleagues and other health professionals . It's easy for osteopaths to feel isolated.
