😟 Is your pain stressing you out?! Anxiety is worrying about things that MIGHT happen and this graphic captures that idea so well!
Our anxiety levels can rise when we suffer joint or muscle pain - we worry about what it MIGHT be.
... A careful Osteopathic examination and diagnosis can help you to avoid this anxiety. You’ll know what you are dealing with - what osteopathy can do to help - and a plan for what to do at home. Mike

⏱There are 10,080 minutes in a week. On average we see a patient for 30 of these minutes in a week. To put that in perspective we might see you for 0.002% of the week!
So how can you get the most out of your time with your osteopath?
... 1) Understand that healing can take time. 2) Try and stick to the treatment plan. 3) Do your exercises and take advice.
We want you to get better, it's why we get out of bed and go to work each day!

We offer osteopathic, massage and myofascial treatment approaches at the clinic. ... 📧 Email us with any queries Info@plymosteoclinic.co.uk 📞 Call on 01752 347663 ⌨️ Or book online at https://www.plymosteoclinic.co.uk/book-on line-plymouth/

🤚🏻 I was so pleased to help one of my regular massage clients who had been suffering with long term pain in her fingers from arthritis. After a few treatments she was much more comfortable and was surprised by the improvements.
❓But isn’t the pain from arthritis just something ‘you have to live with.’
... Well no, not necessarily! A lot of the pain associated with arthritis doesn’t come from the joints themselves, but from the muscles around the joints which are working overtime.
Massage and osteopathy can really help with this. Pia

Looking forward to using my new skills this week after a great day with the lovely Helen from TMJ Massage Therapies learning myofascial techniques for TMJ (jaw) problems. Shocking to think that a quarter of us suffer with jaw pain! Pia 01752 347663

Do you know anyone who has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis? If so please recommend this book to them if they don’t already have it! It’s written by Terry Wahls MD , an American doctor and MS sufferer herself who reversed her symptoms using a diet based protocol. Food is medicine! https://terrywahls.com/about-the-wahls-pr otocol/

It seems that Princess Eugenie's decision to reveal her scars from surgery to correct her scoliosis has sparked awareness of this condition. 👏🏻
Scoliosis is a twist in the spine, and most commonly develops in 12-15 yr olds, often for unknown reasons. Normally exercises and manual treatment are enough but if it’s severe, surgery may be considered, particularly if there is a risk of squeezing the heart and lungs. It is important to note that no-one’s spine is entirely straight..., and we all have little sidebends here and there. Usually these cause no problems, but sometimes they can be responsible for backache. I look after a lot of patients with scoliosis as osteopathy can be really helpful. We are very experienced at assessing spinal posture and mobility.
Get in touch if you have been worrying about a curve in your spine or aches and pains. Mike

Kieron’s stretching again!! This one is for the hamstrings. When you don’t have enough flexibility in the legs the back has to work overtime making it much more likely to get injured. www.plymosteoclinic.co.uk 01752 347663

This is Kieron's Dad Laurie!
18 months ago he developed back pain and weakness in his legs, and was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. In a bid to do as much as possible to improve his condition he joined his local gym...
“They wrote me a special programme of exercises and I have been going ever since,” said Laurie.... “On an average visit I use the rowing machine, do squat thrusts, crunches, step ups, and workout with a 5kg ball and ‘the beast’ – a large metal sledge with extra weights!” Laurie has now lost over 9kg, his back and legs are much stronger, and the pain has reduced. Kieron's 77 year old mum Vivien has joined him. Laurie said: “Taking regular exercise is definitely a positive thing to do, especially if one has to combat blood sugar levels rising in diabetes and also cope with bouts of depression. “My motto for all older people is: instead of waiting for the NHS to light the lamp at the end of the tunnel, go down there and light it yourself.”
What a brilliant motto Laurie!

We love this post from an osteopathic colleague...
When you make a pizza, the dough requires kneading for as long as it takes. Going harder and using tools doesn't make it happen any faster. ~ It's the same when performing manual therapy to improve tissue health, change takes as long as it takes. Going harder and using tools doesn’t make it happen any faster.... ~ It's not always easy, but it pays to be patient. If you're frustrated, remember that the healthier you are, the faster your body can respond and adapt.
