Castle Clinic

Our physio, Jon is the latest birthday boy! And his favourite, a lemon drizzle cake. Happy birthday Jon!

The last day of school today saw children being allowed to bring in board games from home. Not wanting to miss out on the fun & games, osteopaths Brit, Charlotte & Seb and our physio Jon had a game of twister. We think they might have done better if they’d had a quick treatment before the game 😂

Big match! There’ll be at least one happy fan in clinic tomorrow. Most of us are saying “it’s coming home”, but our Spanish osteopath Dan says “se viene a casa”…

We have a couple of Cancerians in our team celebrating their birthdays this week. Nia’s birthday is today and Seb’s is on Sunday. We’ve all been enjoying their cake! 🦀 🎂 🎁

The Stray Ferret interviewed one of our osteopaths, Seb last week about how the next government should approach public health over the next term. Here at Castle Clinic we believe in prevention of illness & disease, by promoting movement, good nutrition, sleep and looking after mental health. That is reflected in the article.

Sleep Tight: 5 Tips for Staying Cool on Hot Nights – Castle Clinic Summer nights are wonderful—alfresco dining, evening strolls and barbecues. However, when it’s time to sleep, the heat can turn your night into a tossing-and-turning marathon. Here are five tips to help you stay cool and get a good night’s sleep, even when the weather is baking.

Today, Osteopathy was born 150 years ago, on June 22, 1874, when Dr Andrew Taylor Still founded this innovative approach to healthcare at his brother Edward's house. Disillusioned by the limitations of conventional medicine following the tragic loss of his children to meningitis, Still sought a more holistic and natural way to treat patients. He developed Osteopathy based on the principle that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself, emphasising the interrelationship between the structure and function of the body. Osteopathy focuses on the musculoskeletal system and employs manual manipulation techniques to promote health and alleviate pain. Still's revolutionary ideas laid the foundation for a widely respected medical discipline, blending traditional medical practices with a deep understanding of the body's mechanics.

How many professions can pinpoint when they started ~ LOL

Let’s talk about Tinnitus. Here at Castle Clinic our audiologist sees lots of patients with tinnitus. In many cases she can help with its management, but there are times when the symptoms don’t improve to conventional treatment.

Leeds Trinity University is conducting some interesting research into a mindfulness approach to managing tinnitus distress. If you experience tinnitus and would like to get involved, scan the QR code.
