Introducing... Albert Spinestein!
Thank you for all your suggestions! We were amazed by how many of our community got involved (and we got many laughs out of the names!) but Albert Spinestein was too good!
You can come and meet Albert at our fundraiser on Saturday, 24 November 10am - 2pm, where he'll be available for selfies at our Crepe Stall!
... He'll probably be saying 'Bone Appetite'.. sorry!
Thanks again #Timperley - we love you!

We need your help..can you name our new skeleton?!
We have a new resident skeleton here for our upstairs room..some company for our long-standing James Bones! As James has such a great name, we need an equally good name and are asking our patients and the people of #timperley for inspiration!
Our new skeleton is male, and comes sporting a spinal cord, nerve roots and an example prolapsed disc. He is also quite a bit taller than James Bones!
... The skeletons’ job is to act as a visual tool which our Osteopaths use to help explain to patients where their pain is coming from.
James Bones even took place in the Altrincham parade one year!

It's our 5th Birthday this year and we are holding our usual bake sale, raffle and free advice from our team of therapists!
This year we are fundraising to help towards installing an accessibility ramp at our clinic. The ramp will help patients with decreased mobility and parents with buggies easily enter our clinic without the steep steps currently installed.
With the ramp, it will further help us secure our future in the village and we hope to be celebrating many more birthdays in Timperley!

Many people suffer with tension headaches which can be hard to shift. They often happen at times of stress and with our fast paced lives & increasing work on computers they are becoming much more common. Often people get a feeling of pressure from the base of the head and the headache can be at the front of the forehead and over the temples. This type of headache can be hard to shift as tight muscles & restricted joints in the neck and sometimes the jaw are often to blame. M...any of our patients have had long term relief from headaches after a course of osteopathy treatment. Instead of masking the pain with painkillers, osteopathy treats the cause to stop those debilitating headaches from happening in the first place . #osteopathyworks #headache #tensionheadache #stress #healthiswealth #healthishappiness #dontlivewithpain #simplesolution #drugfreetreatment #treatthecause #timperley #timperleyvillage #osteopathy

If you have #osteoarthritis & are looking for some drug free pain relief, osteopathy is a great option. Joint mobility work & treatment to soft tissues such as the muscles and tendons increases movement and decreases inflammation which in turn reduces stiffness & pain. This is our #osteopath Freya Gilmore explaining what happens to a joint as it gets older. . #osteopathyworks #ageisjustanumber #keeppainstbay #drugfreetreatment #effectivepainrelief #keepmoving #handsontreatment #gentlebuteffective #timperley #altrincham #timperleyvillage #cheshire

How is your posture? Do you catch yourself in mirrors looking less than straight? #badposture doesn’t just look unsightly but leads to back, neck & muscle pains and early joint degeneration. It can also impair your breathing mechanics leading to fatigue and even digestive issues! Don’t dispair though as our #Osteopaths are experts in this area. Long term #posturecorrection needs hands-on joint manipulation & muscle work alongside some basic strengthening & stretching exercises and some lifestyle advice. We can have you back standing tall in no time . #standtall #avoidpain #backpain #avoidheadaches #lookslimmer #healthiswealth #timperley #timperleyvillage #fightfatigue #officelife #breathedeeply #ibs #diaphragmaticbreathing #osteopathyworks #osteopath

Schools nearly out for #summer! If you’re going away here are a few handy hints to help you avoid injury when travelling:-
1) DRINK WATER If you get dehydrated the discs in your back get dehydrated too..they are more prone to injury like this.... Also hydration reduces the chance of circulatory problems & stiffened back & leg muscles.
2) GET UP & MOVE On a flight get up at least once an hour. Stretching your legs improves circulation reducing the risk of blood clots but also stiffness and spasms in your back and legs
3)GET SUPPORTED A small cushion in the small of your lower back supports your spine and works wonders in avoiding back and pelvic pain. Even a rolled up hand towel would do
4)BE CAREFUL WITH LUGGAGE Choose a lightweight suitcase that has easy manoeuvrability. When lifting tense your abdominal muscles and bend at the knees. Be extra careful when lifting suitcases at awkward angles such as off a luggage belt..try not to bend and twist at the same time
5)CHOOSE YOUR SEAT An aisle seat will give you more space and will be easier to get up and move
6)ENJOY! Relaxation of a holiday is great for stress relief and warm sunshine boosts your #vitaminD levels helping your bones and immune system. The warmth on your muscles helps them relax giving relief from any tightness you may have.
Don’t forget, if you do injure yourself on holiday we are here to help in #Timperleyvillage #cheshire to relieve your pain . #happyholidays #airporthazards #holidaytherapy #backhealth #osteopathy #osteopathyworks #dontlivewithpain #suitcase #timperley #manchesterairport
