You may have seen the US open recently stating tennis is the “world’s healthiest sport” and whilst it’s a big claim… there is quite a lot of scientific backing! Two large studies (BJoSM 2016 & MCP 2018) found racket sport players had a 56% reduced chance of cardiovascular disease-related death and an amazing 10 year overall increase in life expectancy. Let’s list some reasons it’s so fab as a sport 🎾

- Mix of sprinting and recovery periods are brilliant for cardiovascular endurance
- Running, jumping, change in direction, use of upper and lower body muscles all benefit bone health and reduce osteoporosis risk
- Improves agility, balance and coordination
- Quick decision making and planning of shots improves cognitive skills
- If able to play outside has benefit of nature - related stress relief and vitamin D production through sun exposure
- Encourages socialising through matches / doubles play

Have a look at your local options for group or individual lessons or drop in sessions. Even a free YouTube video could teach you a lot of the basics including the rules! A lot of places in the UK have public courts which can be free or cheap to play, so grab a racket and have a knock with your friends 🎾💛

New Osteopath Alert!✨ we are excited to welcome May to the team from September 4th!

May studied at Swansea University, graduating with a 1st class Master’s degree in Osteopathy. She was inspired by her own positive experiences with osteopathy and was driven to pursue a career in Osteopathy to help others experience its benefits.

Her dissertation explored the use of pelvic floor muscle training as a complement to manual therapy for urinary incontinence. This highlighted the importance of empathetic, individualised care tailored to each patient’s unique circumstances. She is mindful of how health conditions can impact a patient’s overall quality of life.
​
Outside of her professional life, May has recently been traveling around South East Asia and Australia and hopes to continue exploring the world in the future. She enjoys creating art, practising Pilates, and spending quality time with her friends and family.

Bookings are available on Thursday mornings to see May at www.octaveosteopathy.co.uk ✨
