Meet Andy - Chiropractor and our resident golf specialist!

As well as having done training in golf biomechanics, Andy is an avid golfer himself and is passionate about helping golfers of all levels avoid injury and improve their performance.

He also has a particular interest in shoulder injuries, finding a fantastic balance between manual therapy and progressive, individualised rehab programmes to optimise recovery.

What is 'normal' in terms of recovery?

It’s completely understandable to hope that once treatment starts, you’ll just keep feeling better - less pain, more movement, and steady progress toward recovery. And while that is sometimes the direction things go, healing doesn’t always happen in a straight line.

There may be days when you feel amazing and others when things feel a bit tougher. Those ups and downs are a normal part of the process, they don’t mean you’re moving backward or that treatment isn’t working.

We’re here to support you through it all, the good days and the challenging ones - helping you stay on track, make adjustments when needed, and keep moving toward your goals and a healthier, more comfortable you.

Every day is a school day for our chiropractors.
After a busy day in clinic, Mel, David, Beth and Alex (at the back of the class!), attended an orthopaedic seminar in Cheltenham.
Keeping up to date with education and research is something that we take very seriously, with all of our chiropractors sharpening their knowledge and skills on a weekly basis.

Did you know that strong hips are key to more than just hip health?

They play a vital role in supporting your lower back, knees, and even your ankles.

In this video, Alex demonstrates one of our favourite strengthening exercises: the banded lateral walk. All you need is a resistance band and a little space. Try completing 3 sets of 10–15 steps in each direction to activate and strengthen your glutes.

Give it a try and let us know how it feels — you might notice a burn, but don’t worry, it’s the kind that helps build strength and stability!

🦴 Today is World Osteoporosis Day 🦴

Osteoporosis is a condition where bone density decreases, making bones weaker and more prone to fractures. It affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 - but the good news is that with early action, it can often be prevented or well managed.

Here are 5 steps to support healthy bones:

1️⃣ Exercise Regularly
Incorporate weight-bearing, muscle-strengthening, and balance-training exercises into your routine. Movement keeps bones and muscles strong and helps maintain stability.
2️⃣ Prioritise Nutrition
A balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein is essential. Safe sunlight exposure helps with vitamin D production, but supplementation is recommended from October to April (or year-round if you’re over 60).
3️⃣ Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle
Maintain a healthy body weight, avoid smoking, and limit alcohol intake to support long-term bone strength.
4️⃣ Know Your Risk Factors
Speak with your GP if you have a family history of osteoporosis, have experienced fractures, or take medications that affect bone health.
5️⃣ Get Tested & Treated if Needed
If you’re at higher risk, a DEXA scan can assess bone density. Your doctor may recommend medication or lifestyle changes to help protect against fractures.

Taking small, proactive steps today can make a huge difference in maintaining strong, healthy bones for life. 💪

🌍 Happy World Spine Day!

This year’s theme is “Invest in Your Spine” - a reminder that your spine is at the core of your health and wellbeing.

Spinal conditions are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, affecting not just comfort, but also mobility, productivity, mental wellbeing, and overall quality of life. The good news? There’s a lot you can do to keep your spine strong and supported every day.

Here are a few simple ways to invest in your spine health:

💪 Stay Active – Regular physical activity helps keep your muscles and joints strong, flexible, and resilient.
🕒 Take Movement Breaks – If you sit for long periods, try “movement snacking” — stand up, stretch, or take a short walk every 30–60 minutes.
💆 Regular Chiropractic Care – Maintenance visits can help address tension early, maintain joint mobility, and support your overall comfort and posture.
🪑 Check Your Desk Setup – Use ergonomic furniture, ensure your screen is at eye level, and if possible, consider a standing desk to promote healthy posture.
🌙 Prioritise Sleep – Aim for 7–8 hours each night to allow your body to rest, recover, and regenerate.
🥗 Nourish Your Body – A balanced diet rich in plants, protein, and adequate hydration is essential for overall wellbeing, as well as supporting the spine and surrounding tissues.

What do you to do invest in your spine?
