We hope you enjoyed our first Newsletter, so far we've had a good response with many of you visiting some of the links we provided on Gardening tips, Pilates and the Eaglescliffe Running Group

 

We would like to welcome another Physiotherapist, Paul Miller to the clinic.  Paul will be available for appointments on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.  Our current physiotherapist Gordon Mitchell (known to many of you as 'Mitch') is available Tuesday mornings, Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.

 

Arrival of Julian's baby daughter. A huge thank you and apologies to all my patients who had to be rescheduled as a result of the arrival of baby Freda Rose who was born on 17th March. She is doing very well and I would also like to thank you for your kind congratulatory wishes.

 

Stuarts latest 2 day training course 'Rocktape UK' took place at APPI in London 13-15 May.  Taping is fantastic for treating common sports injuries like shin splints, plantar fascitis, calf strains, runner's knee and much more.  It can also increase endurance by promoting blood flow - faster blood flow means more oxygen and more lymph drainage. If you would like to try taping as part of your treatment please contact the clinic to arrange an appointment.


We hope you find our newsletters interesting and we will continue to keep you updated on events as they occur in the clinic.  

Best wishes Stuart and Julian

Reception staff undergo Shiatsu Treatment

       Special Introductory Offer £38.00

 

As Shiatsu is new to the clinic, Lilian and Tracey were keen to try out this new treatment. We each completed a consultation form prior to commencing treatment which took place on a large futon, fully clothed. Shiatsu literally means 'finger pressure' in Japanese - Joerg used a gentle mixture of pressure and manipulative techniques which was surprisingly very relaxing.  The treatment session lasted an hour after which Joerg discussed his findings.  At the end of my (Tracey) treatment my body felt strangely lighter although slightly cold afterwards - Joerg advised me this was a sign my circulation was working well and I would soon warm up.  I would also like to add I did feel very relaxed for a few days afterwards even though I had to work! Would I have Shiatsu again - definitely.

 

If you would like to book an appointment with Joerg,  we are currently offering a special introductory price of £38.00 (normally £45.00) for the month of June. If you would like to find out more about Shiatsu visit www.shiatsusociety.org or www.joergshiatsu.co.uk

 
Do you suffer from back pain?

4 out of 5 people are affected by back pain at some point in their life and lifestyle is often to blame i.e. gardening, slouched in front of the TV, cleaning, carrying heavy shopping bags and poor diet to name but a few. 

 

At the first sign of back pain you may think you've suffered an injury which could result in long term consequences to your health.  In most cases the pain you are suffering is lower back pain which generally means there is no clear cause.  Lower back pain could be the result of a slipped disc, trapped nerve or even a pulled muscle; nevertheless it can be particularly painful. 

 

Here's some helpful tips and advice;

-       Regular *Osteopathy or *Physiotherapy sessions can help prevent and treat back pain as well as exercises set for you to do at home

-       *Acupuncture can also help - recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)

-       Swimming - the water environment takes the strain off joints and muscles while working out the entire body

-       *Yoga - strengthens core and back muscles and increases flexibility

-       *Pilates - strengthens muscles and the spinal column and promotes good posture

What is Osteopathy?

 

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical  conditions.  

 

It works with the structure and function of the body, and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.

 

Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body's own healing mechanisms.  

 

They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

 

Conditions we treat

 

Although osteopaths treat many conditions, most people think of us as 'back specialists'. Back pain is what many osteopaths treat a lot of the time but we also treat arthritic pain, muscle spasms, neck ache, frozen shoulders, joint pains, whiplash, wrist and hand ailments, minor sports injuries and many more.

 

Osteopathic treatment not only targets pain symptoms but also treats the parts of the body that have caused the symptoms. Osteopaths have a holistic approach and believe that your whole body will work well if your body is in good structural balance.


 The clinic currently has 4 Osteopaths, Stuart Bentley (Clinical Director), Julian Crossley (Clinical Director), Annette Hastie and Vanessa Robinson.  Each practitioners working days vary from Monday-Friday between 8.30am - 7.00pm.
