If you work in an office, your body is probably doing more work than you realise. Long hours sitting, looking at screens and staying in the same position can lead to tight shoulders, a stiff neck, lower back discomfort and regular headaches.

Massage helps release built-up muscle tension, improve circulation and restore easier movement. It can also help you feel more relaxed and less fatigued, which often makes a noticeable difference to how you feel both at work and at home.

Booking a massage isn’t just about relaxation. It’s a simple way to look after your body, prevent everyday aches from becoming ongoing problems, and support better posture and comfort through the working week.

Come and see our Chronic Pain specliast Teri.

If you feel like you've tried everything for your chronic pain, come and see our Osteopath Teri.

Here's why you need to consider seeing an Osteopath for chronic pain:
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that can be effective in treating chronic pain. Osteopaths focus on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of pain, rather than simply treating the symptoms. Osteopathic treatment typically involves manual techniques such as gentle joint manipulation, acupuncture, massage and stretching to help reduce tension and improve mobility in the affected areas.

Acupuncture and especially electro-acupuncture, works extremely well in dealing with chronic pain.

Nerve cells have to reach a threshold before they fire off. For example, a sensory nerve has a very low threshold so that we can easily feel things. Pain nerves have a much higher threshold otherwise we would be in pain with daily activities. When we have chronic pain the threshold for the pain nerve has been lowered and the aim is to raise this threshold to a more functional state.

We will also take into account your overall health and lifestyle, providing advice on nutrition, exercise and stress management to support your body’s natural healing processes. By taking a whole-person approach, osteopathy aims to help individuals with chronic pain achieve greater comfort, mobility and overall well-being.

Paediatric Osteopathy is a specialism of Osteopathy that uses incredibly gentle techniques specifically for treating babies.

Each technique used is specific to the baby and is individual to them. The methods used for babies are very gentle, but nonetheless powerful, requiring specialist skill and knowledge.

It takes a minimum of six years to become a Paediatric Osteopath.

These techniques are safe, gentle, and non-manipulative. They are often used when treating young children and newborn infants. Very gentle osteopathic techniques can help to release and balance areas of physical tension, helping to soothe and relax as well as promoting freer movement where the muscles have been tight.

There’s no minimum age for a baby or child to visit the Osteopath. Michele has helped babies from as little as five days old.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a wonderful 2026!

29/12/2025

New Year’s resolutions often come with good intentions like exercising more, being more active, or finally tackling those DIY projects. However, sudden changes in routine can place unexpected strain on the body, particularly if movements are repetitive or unfamiliar.

Injuries don’t always happen during intense activity. They often develop gradually when the body is overloaded without enough recovery. Early signs like stiffness, soreness or reduced movement are important signals, not things to push through.

Osteopathy looks at how your whole body is coping with change. By addressing movement patterns, muscle tension and joint function, treatment helps reduce strain and supports long-term comfort. Many people find it helps them build healthier habits without setbacks.

If you’re setting new goals this year, looking after your body is part of achieving them. Book an appointment with us and start the year feeling supported.

Christmas is a time many of us look forward to, but it can be surprisingly demanding on the body. Long car journeys, extra time sitting on sofas, disrupted sleep, richer food, alcohol and less regular movement can all add up. It’s very common to notice more stiffness, aches, flare-ups of old injuries or general fatigue once the festive period is over.

When routines change, the body often struggles to adapt quickly. Muscles tighten, joints lose a bit of mobility and inflammation can creep in, especially if activity levels drop. What starts as a small ni**le can sometimes linger longer than expected.

Osteopathy can help support your body through this reset. By improving joint movement, easing muscle tension and supporting circulation, treatment helps the body recover more effectively and feel more balanced again.

If your body feels like it needs a bit of care after Christmas, book an appointment with one of our Osteopaths and we'll be able to help.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas today!

Christmas is a time when routines change and so does how we move. A winter run, long walk, or lifting heavier-than-usual loads can sometimes lead to unexpected aches or injuries.

Sports injuries don’t always happen during intense training. They often come from doing more than the body is used to, especially in colder weather when muscles are tighter.

Seeing an Osteopath early can help address the issue before it becomes more stubborn, supporting recovery and helping you return to activity safely.

If you get an injury over the festivities, come and see Oli for treatment. Book your appointment on our website.

Looking after a baby or young child can be both joyful and exhausting, especially when they’re unsettled, uncomfortable, or struggling to sleep.

Parents often bring their babies to us for issues such as unsettled behaviour, feeding difficulties, reflux, colic, or general discomfort. Treatment is always tailored to the individual child and carried out with great care.

Paediatric Osteopathy is incredibly gentle. It's so gentle, many babies fall asleep during their appointment!

If you want support for your baby, book an appointment with Michele on our website.
