🎄 Jill & Lisa’s Top Tips for a Stress-Free(ish) December! 🎄
#
Because let’s be honest… “stress-free” in December is ambitious — but we can keep you upright, breathing, and slightly less frazzled! 😅
From your friendly team at Jill Drew Physiotherapy:

💆‍♀️ 1. Shoulders down, please.
Yes, we see you wearing them as earrings again. Drop those shoulders and take three deep breaths. Ahhh… better.

🍪 2. Don’t attempt all the festive jobs in one day.
Even Santa spreads the workload… and he has actual elves.

💧 3. Drink water (not just mulled wine).
We love a festive beverage too — but your muscles would prefer some hydration that doesn’t smell like a Yankee Candle shop.

💼 4. Micro-breaks are your friend.
If you’ve been standing, sit. If you’ve been sitting, stand. If you’ve been doing everything… lie down for a minute and breathe.

🧘‍♀️ 5. Schedule “me time” like it’s a meeting with Santa.
If it’s in the diary, it counts. Even 10 minutes hiding from your family in the bathroom = self-care.

😂 6. Perfection is cancelled.
If the tree is lopsided, the biscuits are burnt, or you forgot someone’s gift… congratulations, you’re human. Carry on.

Wishing you a December full of laughs, loose muscles, and minimal chaos — from the team at Jill Drew Physiotherapy! 🎅✨

🌳 Happy National Tree Week! 🌳
At Jill Drew Physiotherapy, we believe movement is medicine — and what better place to move than in nature?

With the days getting cooler and the trees showing off their winter charm, this is the perfect time to step outside, breathe deeply, and enjoy the benefits of being active outdoors. Even a gentle walk among the trees can:

🍃 Reduce stress
🍃 Loosen stiff muscles and joints
🍃 Boost mood and energy
🍃 Support recovery after injury
🍃 Encourage healthier movement patterns

Whether it’s a stroll through your local park or a peaceful weekend woodland walk — your body (and mind!) will thank you.

So this National Tree Week, why not set aside a little time for yourself outdoors?
Your next step to feeling better could start with… well, a step under a tree. 🌿

If pain or stiffness is holding you back, we’re here to help you move comfortably and confidently again.

🍃 Acupuncture Awareness Week 🌿

This week we’re shining a light on the power of acupuncture — one of the many tools we use to help our patients move better, feel better, and live without pain.

With 40 years of experience in physiotherapy and advanced training in acupuncture, Jill integrates acupuncture as part of a holistic treatment approach. She has been practicing acupuncture since 1988 and was a clinical tutor for 12 years.

It’s particularly effective for:
✨ Reducing pain and muscle tension
✨ Aiding recovery from injury
✨ Managing headaches and migraines
✨ Supporting overall wellbeing, sleep and relaxation

Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s natural healing response — helping to relieve pain, improve circulation, and restore balance.

If you’ve ever wondered whether acupuncture could help you, this is the perfect week to find out! Jill is always happy to chat about whether it might be right for your condition or recovery goals.

📞 Get in touch or send us an email to learn more about how acupuncture can be part of your treatment plan.
