I recently spent a fascinating day at the Royal Society of Medicine for the 9th Annual Spinal Symposium which looked at the spine from a range of perspectives. The spine is often the part of the body that people most readily associate with Osteopathy (although we can assist with many other issues and help you […]
How to Keep a Healthy Spine Did you know that back pain is one of the most common reasons for sickness absence in the UK* According to the Office of National Statistics, an estimated 141.4 million working days are lost each year to sickness or injury.

What is a meaningful connection? At the beginning of a new year it’s natural for our minds to turn to change. I’m sure we all feel exhausted by the volume and variety of exercise advice in the media and perhaps conflicted about whether we should do Dry January, Veganuary, or possible both!

I chose to study at the British College of Naturopathy and Osteopathy (now the British College of Osteopathic Medicine) as I was keen to explore more than just the mechanical side of the discipline. Since qualifying in […]
I attended a fascinating course last month by Dr Jeremy Howick about how we can use placebos to support recovery. One of the themes we explored was the use of empathy in healthcare. And whether, employed effectively, it could actually act as a placebo. For many of us, ‘placebo’ may conjure up images of white […]
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a general term used to describe muscle, nerve and tendon pain caused by repetitive movement and overuse. It’s most commonly perceived as something that affects wrists and hands, but it can also impact forearms, elbows, neck and shoulders. RSI can strike anyone who performs a repetitive or high intensity action […]
What do football manager Thierry Henry, actress and singer Olivia Newton-John and Jean-Claude Juncker, the former President of the European Commission, all have in common?
