😴 Was better sleep one of your New Year’s resolutions?

We all know sleep is important, but it’s easy to forget just how much it affects everyday life. Good sleep supports your focus, concentration, energy, and mood. It helps you feel clearer in your thinking, more patient with people around you and more capable of getting through the day.

Sleep is also when your body does its best healing and recovery. But that’s hard to achieve when discomfort keeps waking you up or stops you getting comfortable.

If a sore shoulder, lower back, or tight hips are disturbing your sleep, it’s worth addressing the cause rather than just pushing through.

✨ When your body moves better and feels more comfortable, sleep comes more naturally and everything else improves too.

👉 If pain is getting in the way of a good night’s rest, let’s get it treated so you can wake up feeling rested, focused, and energised.

🏃‍♂️ Runners: it’s not always your joints , it’s often your soft tissues

If you run, you’ve probably felt it at some point…
That nagging ache along the shin.
A tight calf that never quite settles.
A foot or ankle ni**le that shows up mid-run.

Shin splints and running ni**les aren’t always about your spine or joints alone. Very often, the issue lives in the soft tissues. The muscles, tendons, and especially the fascia that connect and coordinate every stride.

When fascia becomes overloaded or restricted, it changes how force travels through your leg. The result? Extra strain on the shins, calves, knees, or feet, even if your joints feel “fine.”

That’s why my approach doesn’t stop at adjusting joints. I also work directly with:
🌀 Fascia
💪 Muscles
🧵 Tendons

…to restore proper load sharing, improve movement efficiency, and help you run with less effort and less irritation.

👉 If a small ni**le is starting to affect your training, don’t wait for it to become a season-ending injury. Let’s get you back to running smoothly and confidently.

🤔 If you haven’t seen a chiropractor before, I know you’re sceptical.

Most people are. And honestly… that makes sense.
It’s hard to trust something you haven’t experienced for yourself.

That’s why I don’t just tell you what’s not working. I show you.
Using functional muscle testing, I can identify which muscles or movement patterns aren’t working properly and how that’s affecting the rest of your body.

From a science perspective, this is about how your nervous system controls muscle activation. When the brain isn’t getting clear information from joints or soft tissues, certain muscles can become inhibited. Others compensate, movement efficiency drops and pain may show up.

Some patients love the explanation. Others just care that they feel stronger, more stable, and move easier. Both are valid.

I correct the inhibited muscles, re-test and you can feel the difference immediately.
No guesswork.
No blind faith.
Real-time feedback from your own body.

✨ And that’s when it clicks.
Because with chiropractic care… feeling is believing.

👉 Curious but sceptical? Come and experience it for yourself.

⛷️❄️ Back from the slopes… and straight back to clinic

I’m back from my ski trip, legs well used, lungs full of mountain air and yes… I also built a snowman. ⛄

Somewhere between the carving, the cold, and the questionable snowman engineering, it was a good reminder of how much we ask of our bodies when we move, play, and do things we enjoy.

Now it’s back to helping you do the same. Whether that’s skiing, training, walking, or just getting through the day without stiffness or pain.

If your body needs a little post-holiday reset (snowman optional), I’m back and ready to help.

🏋️‍♂️ That gym ni**le you rested over Christmas… and it’s still there

You eased off training.
Took a break over Christmas.
Gave it “a bit of rest”…

And yet, that shoulder, knee, hip or back ni**le hasn’t gone anywhere.

That’s because most gym ni**les aren’t just about doing too much. They’re often about how your body is moving, loading, and recovering. Rest can calm things down, but it doesn’t always fix the underlying issue.

If you let it linger, that small ni**le has a habit of becoming the thing that quietly derails your health goals for the year.

✨ Chiropractic care looks at why the ni**le is there, how your joints, muscles, soft tissues and nervous system are working together. !rain with confidence, not caution.

👉 Don’t let an old ni**le decide what you can and can’t do this year.
Get it checked, get it sorted, and get back to moving well.

🌿 Why Turmeric + Boswellia work better together

If you’ve ever looked into natural support for joint comfort and inflammation, you’ve probably heard of turmeric and boswellia. They each work slightly differently. Together, they’re even better.

🟡 Turmeric (curcumin) helps modulate an inflammatory molecule called prostaglandin E2, supporting joint comfort.
🌿 Boswellia, inhibits the formation of leukotrienes, another inflammatory molecule, reducing pain and swelling

The challenge? Absorption.
Curcumin on its own is notoriously hard for the body to absorb. That’s where phytosomes come in. By binding the active compound to phospholipids, phytosomes dramatically improve how well your body can actually use it.

✨ One of the best-studied forms is Meriva® curcumin — a phytosomal curcumin that has been tested in human clinical studies, including research showing benefits for people with knee osteoarthritis in terms of comfort and function.

When you combine:
✔️ Turmeric in a highly absorbable phytosome form
✔️ Boswellia for complementary inflammatory support

…you get a supplement that’s designed to work with your body, not just pass through it.

👉 If joint stiffness, ni**les, or long-term wear and tear are holding you back, this combination may be a smart addition to a well-rounded care plan. Always choose quality, evidence-backed forms. If in doubt, ask for guidance.

🎄➡️✨ That in-between feeling…

You’re not quite sure what day it is.
Routine’s gone out the window.
Sleep’s a bit off.
You’ve been sitting more, driving more, moving less…

And now there’s a ni**le.
A stiff back.
A tight neck.
A hip that wasn’t talking before, but definitely is now.

This is the week it often shows up. Not because anything dramatic happened, but because little changes add up. Different beds, longer sits, festive stress, and less movement all leave their mark.

The good news? You don’t need to “push through” or wait until January.
Gentle movement, a reset, and a bit of care now can stop a small ni**le becoming a big problem.

👉 If your body’s feeling out of routine, this is a great time to check in with it.
I'm open between Christmas and New Year. Book in online or pick up the phone!

Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄✨

Whether the next few days are full of laughter, quiet moments, or a little of both, I hope it brings warmth, good food, and some time to unwind.

Just a gentle reminder that I’m still here and open between Christmas and New Year. If you need a tune-up, a check-in, or simply want to set your body up well for the year ahead, you know where to find me!

Wishing you a Christmas filled with love, ease, and small moments that matter most 💫

🎄 Christmas Music Quiz (from your slightly middle-aged chiropractor) 🎶

🎄 A little Christmas movement goes a long way

The festive season is meant to be joyful, but let’s be honest, it can also be stressful.
Busy schedules 🗓️
Family dynamics 😅
Late nights 😴

Add that stress to:
🍽️ Prolonged sitting
🛏️ Sleeping in a different bed
🚗 Extra time in the car

…and it’s no surprise we see so many people come in with back pain, stiff necks, and tight hips after Christmas.

The simplest antidote? Move.

🚶‍♀️ Take a walk to reset your nervous system
🌿 Breathe, stretch, change position
🎄 Give your body a break from sitting and bracing

As inspiration, here's a photo of me at the top of Cley Hill from last Christmas!

👉 Enjoy the festivities, manage the stress where you can, and keep your body moving. Your spine will thank you when January rolls around.
