Brentwood Osteopathic Practice

Very excited to receive my order of more acupuncture needles in the post today!

I particularly find this type of treatment brilliant for Tennis elbow, Rotator cuff injuries and Achilles heel pain. But really the list is endless where needles can help.

If you’d like to see if acupuncture alongside osteopathy can help you, just send me a message!

Just in case anyone’s forgotten what my face looks like under a mask!

Happy Monday everyone! 4 o’clock and it’s not dark yet - going in the right direction!

I love a new year and a new diary.
Happy new year everyone, let’s get stuck in!

This is the year for discovering what the UK offers. I’m hearing all the lovely destinations my patients are exploring, I must make a list of recommendations…would make a good travel book!

Here if you need me: low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, headaches…and so much more I can help with.

There are so many beautiful places to explore in this country!

If you’ve got a break planned this summer and want to sort out those aches and pains beforehand, get in touch!

Great news - I am staying open!

Osteopaths are Key Healthcare Workers and we are here to help you with your aches and pains.

I am committed to keeping the clinic safe as possible and you will receive a warm welcome in these difficult times.

A sunny afternoon in clinic

What a way to recharge the batteries - thank you Cornwall!
There are many ways to look after yourself: a week spent in beautiful surroundings or seeing an osteopath to make your body feel great which in turn makes you feel great!
Take time out for yourself ❤️

Excited for my new poster for the clinic! Thank you Now just to work out where to put it..

Anyone else a bit warm?! It’s been a busy one so very relieved to have only one more patient to see today....then I’m off to find an ice-cream!

Hope you’ve all got your water bottles with you today - keep hydrated!
This is thirsty work..

One month since I’ve been back open!
How time flies when you’re having fun fixing necks, shoulders, low backs, hips and knees....

Not particularly helpful when prepping for tomorrow’s clinic!

You don’t have to put up with those aches and pains, osteopathy can help you feel so much better. Give me a call or message to see if I can help you

Dancing is great for your health: increased muscular strength, stronger bones and improved fitness.
And it’s something we can do in our own living room...so kick off your shoes, put your favourite song on and dance like no one is watching!

Working from home at the moment?
Here are a few easy adjustments that can help you:
1. Use a separate keyboard and mouse
2. Position laptop so top of screen is level with your eyes. Laptop risers are a huge help (if you don’t have one, you can use books!)
3. A rolled-up hand towel is useful for extra low back support if your chair isn’t adjustable

Hope that’s helpful. As always, if you need any more help, just let me know.

First week back and its been great!
Immediately I’ve noticed how much of a trend there is for “stiffness” and “acheing” far more than usual.

So let’s look at how life has become so different these last few months....be it working at a make-shift desk at home (not to mention still just a laptop), extra/longer shifts as a key worker or simply more time sitting on the sofa watching Tv (guilty here!)

So I will be posting some useful tips in the coming days and weeks to help with these situations.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and if you would like some help for your new/increased aches and pains, just send me a message!

Hello! So this is how you’ll be seeing me for the time being...I’ve just got to learn how to smile with my eyes now!

So tomorrow I’m able to open my clinic doors again. I’ve been a busy bee the last couple of weeks preparing to make it as safe as possible for everyone.
This includes:
1. Screening policy for Covid-19 symptoms prior to appointments
2. I’ll be wearing PPE including a mask and ask that my lovely patients wear a mask or face covering too
3. Extra-frequent cleaning & disinfecting
4. Time between patients to manage the above and get plenty of fresh air in the room
Lock-down has produced lots of aches and pains and I can’t wait to start helping with these again

Spent the day yesterday getting my clinic up to scratch re the latest guidelines ready for Monday and realised poor Buster has to come home and live with me for a while

I’ve loved having the time to bake, it’s been very therapeutic. However, I’m super excited to be able to re-open the clinic next week...I’ve even got round to creating a Facebook AND Instagram page at long last!
