An article highlighting the importance of touch. It also reminds me of the dying words of the recluse Bobby Fischer: "Nothing is as healing as the human touch"

For many people, social distancing and lockdowns left them bereft of physical contact. Here, touch experts explain why it is so essential and what we lost in its absence

Hello all. I think it goes without saying that my lovely garden clinic has closed its doors.

I will miss all of you, my fantastic patients, and I'm sure, in the weeks to come, your bodies might miss me. The toll on our bodies, as well as our minds, will be great, so it's so important to keep on doing the stretching I've taught you.

If anyone needs a video of those stretches, or a video of some self-care techniques, let me know. Or if there is a demand, I could upload weekly self-care techniques.

In the meantime, if your bank account allows it, I would be enormously grateful if you are able to pay me in lieu for treatments you will have when this is all over. Or of course buy gift vouchers, and encourage others to do the same!

As a self-employed single parent of two small children, for which the government hasn't yet made any provision, every little really will help.

Thanks so much, and remember to have lots of hot baths and hug your hot water bottle tight.

See you on the other side! Lots of love, Josie x

Hi all. For the time being, I just wanted to let you know that I am here for you as usual. Obviously so long as we, and those we are in contact with, are all lucky enough to be symptom-free. Please get in touch with any concerns, or a telephone appointment, during these uncertain times.

Great to see an awesome group of therapists on our hands-on Living Anatomy workshop today - designed to get the knowledge out of the text book and into your hands 🖐️💪🙌

By palpating and exploring the movement of the living body they gained a thorough understanding of all the major muscles. An invaluable day that is taught with creativity and fun....
