Osteopathy focuses on holistic health, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of pain and discomfort.
The benefits of regular treatment
Did you know that regular treatment can be effective for a wide range of conditions, from back pain and joint issues to stress-related tension. By improving circulation, releasing muscle tension, and enhancing joint mobility, manipulation and massage can support the body’s structural integrity and overall function.
Many patients report improvements in posture, energy levels, and quality of life after just a few sessions. This can be said for osteopathy, therapeutic massage, acupuncture and chiropody, so have a closer look at the benefits by visiting out therapies page here.

Tips for maintaining results between sessions
To enhance the benefits of your treatments, it’s essential to adopt healthy habits. Staying hydrated, practicing good posture, and incorporating regular movement into your day can make a significant difference.
Stretching, mindfulness exercises, and ergonomic adjustments at work are also excellent ways to support your body and prevent recurring issues.
Spotlight on stress and its effects on the body
Did you know stress can manifest physically, causing tension, headaches, and even digestive issues? Osteopathy, massage and acupuncture can help address these symptoms by calming the nervous system and reducing muscle tightness.
If you’re feeling the effects of stress, let us know during your next visit so we can adapt your treatment accordingly.
If leaf clearing is causing your pain – we’ve got your back!
It’s that time of year again and storm Bert hasn’t helped- gardens across the UK are full of fallen leaves, meaning we’re back to that annual job of raking and collecting them.
At the clinic we see a lot of people in Autumn and Winter who develop back pain as a result of repetitive bending, so remember to warm up beforehand and stretch after this type of activity to minimise injury.
If you need some attention, our team are happy to help and you don’t need to wait for office hours to book – have a look at our

Autumn changes to your biological clock
As the leaves have turned to gold, the fire is lit, the heating is on and we’re pulling on our woolly jumpers. Autumn is when we experience the drop in daylight hours and start to feel this effect internally. You may feel more tired and need to go to bed earlier to get a few extra hours of sleep. This is completely normal.
At the clinic we also notice that our patients report an increase in general aches and pains. Chronic aches that may have resolved over the summer months tend to come back in the winter.
So, the question is, what can be done about it? Luckily, we have a lot of advice on this….
Time for Vitamin D
As humans, we synthesise Vitamin D from sunlight and during winter months the UK sunlight isn’t strong enough for us to do this. From now until April, we recommend that you take Vitamin D supplements.
Vitamin D is vital on many levels –
It helps the gut absorb calcium and maintains phosphate levels so that we can keep bones, teeth and gums healthy.
It helps muscles function, reduces inflammation, promotes nervous system function, immune system function and helps with cellular growth and even glucose metabolism.
In other words, it is crucial for your health! So, please go and take some Vitamin D supplements this autumn and winter.
Keep moving
It is so easy to stay indoors during the winter months, especially when it is raining and cold outside. We recommend adopting different strategies to get yourself through the winter months.
Standing Desks – more workplaces are providing standing desks which is great. If you use a computer or tablet at home, it may be seriously worth investing in a standing desk. Reducing the hours that you spend sitting each day is very beneficial.
Group Exercises – joining the gym, or going to weekly scheduled classes will help keep you active.
Yoga, Pilates, walking groups can all be hugely uplifting and great for your physical health.
Plan for Bad Weather – this is fairly obvious but if you get good layers of clothing and waterproof outer wear, you can still be active outside in all weathers. Being in nature is incredibly beneficial mentally and we have the delight of Wimbledon and Woking Commons or Oxshott Heath on our doorstep.
Home Chores Count as Exercise – yes, just hoovering, cleaning out the cupboards etc counts as keeping active! Get some upbeat music on to give you an extra boost of energy.
