The Countryside Osteopath

A patient of mine mentioned this pillow to me & how comfortable it had made laying on her tummy whilst having a massage. So i found out where i could order one from & am looking forward to trying it out with my West Malling patients today 😀 #simplyosteopathy #onefortheladies #alwayslistening

Eeeeeeek 😀 Kirstie's Handmade Christmas 🎄🦌🎅 #needtoordersnowspray ❄️☃️ #wouldlovetocraftalldaylong 😍

Today we honour the bravery and courage of those who sacrificed their lives for us ❤️

So as well as being a team of 4 Osteopaths, did you know that we have an AMAZING Reflexologist with us too? 👣 I asked her to write & let you all know about her fabulous treatments & this is what she had to say.......
Hi I’m Lisa & I am a REFLEXOLOGIST at Simply Osteopathy. I also do many other treatments including REIKI, HOPI EAR CANDLING & INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE, but Reflexology is my passion and my specialism.
I have undertaken extra training to gain qualifications and experie...nce in working with the elderly, people who have serious illness, disabilities, fertility concerns and pregnancy.
I use the ‘HYDROTHERM MASSAGE SYSTEM’ this is a gentle massage, you lay on warm water cushions and don’t have to turn over making it suitable for pregnancy and people who have had front body surgery, and also for conditions such as Fibromyalgia.
I teach ‘BABYREFLEX’ to parents so that they can do reflexology on their own babies. Babyreflex is a specially adapted reflexology treatment for babies from 4 weeks of age to help with feeding, sleeping and teething, to name but a few.
In my spare time I like to do Iyenga Yoga, I have 3 grown up children who I enjoy spending time with and I like to travel with my husband Bill to seek some sunshine and local cultures.
If you are interested in booking an appointment a link to my website is on www.simplyosteopathy.co.uk & im available in West Malling on Wednesdays from 9am - 8pm & Thursdays from 8:30am - 7pm.

My top tip is to stick sparklers into carrots 🥕 which is much safer for your little ones to hold 😉
Stay safe & keep warm 🔥🧣🧤💥

The next Osteopath in our MEET THE TEAM feature is my second in command Clarissa 🤩 who has been a key member of Simply Osteopathy for 11 years now!
Clarissa studied for a Biological Sciences degree at Kings University College in London and then continued her studies in Osteopathy graduating from the European School of Osteopathy in Boxley in 2007.
She has been an assistant lecturer at the European School for several years and now works in a number of busy practices in Kent.
... Clarissa has a passion for treating children and adults using a wide range of techniques including soft tissue, structural, cranial and balanced ligamentous tension.
In her spare time she loves exploring the wonderful Kent countryside with her two dogs Lola & Bonnie (and if there’s a country pub on the way......then even better!). As well as walking regularly, she keeps fit with swimming, yoga & pilates. She has recently moved house so is busy renovating & making it hers with any spare moments and also loves to bake with her signature dishes being Irish soda bread 🍞 & lemon pavlova 🍋
If you would like to book an appointment with Clarissa she works with us in West Malling on Mondays & Fridays from 2pm - 5:20pm.

😍 this has just made my day 😍 thank you so much Kerry 😚

Does this look familiar???
Officially known as TEXT NECK this hunched over posture from using our smartphones for an average of 2-4 hours each day is contributing to more & more of us having upper back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain & headaches.....and for me this image shows why!
An average adult human head weighs the same as a bowling ball between 10-12lbs & the lower your head drops forward the harder your muscles & ligaments have to work to support it.
... This image shows an average head tilt of about 45 degrees which has been worked out to mean the head now weighs 49lbs or 4-5 bowling balls 😯😯😯 !!!
Our TOP TIPS are to try to maintain a neutral upright posture when using your smartphone by raising your phone to be more at your eye level, and instead of hunching & tipping your head forward to look down, look down using just your eyes 👀 Try to use your phones for shorter amounts of time ⏱️ & stretch your neck, upper back & shoulders on a regular basis.
If you would like us to look at your TEXT NECK symptoms then either message me, call our lovely reception team on 01732 873114 or book online at www.simplyosteoapthy.co.uk
