Having surgery soon? Here are the 5 questions Natasha gets asked most about MLD (manual lymphatic drainage).

1. Does it hurt? No. MLD is a gentle, rhythmic, specialised massage technique, and many clients find it relaxing.
2. When should I start? Talk to your surgeon about when to start and how often.
3. Can I book before my operation? Yes, please do. Pre-booking before your surgery secures your dates.
4. How long are post-surgery sessions? 60 minutes for one area (£70), or 90 minutes for two or more areas (£100).
5. Is MLD only for after surgery? No. Natasha also offers MLD sessions for clients living with lymphoedema, lipoedema or for relaxation.

Many clients book MLD as part of their aftercare, and Natasha is happy to talk it through before you book.

Tennis elbow? You don't need to play tennis to get it 🎾

Most people we see with pain on the outside of the elbow have never picked up a racket. It often shows up with everyday gripping and lifting: a mouse all day, a heavy kettle, decorating, lifting little ones, or a new hobby.

A practical tip: notice which movements set it off and when (first thing, after work, after a weekend of DIY). That's really useful to tell us.

Osteopathy may help with elbow pain and tennis elbow. Because the elbow is linked to the neck, shoulder and the rest of the arm, our GOsC-registered osteopaths look at all of that at your first appointment, not just the sore spot, then explain what they've found and agree a plan with you.

Did you know that Ross s is a 3rd-degree black belt? 🥋

Meet Ross McMullan, our Clinical Director and Principal Osteopath. A few things you might not know about him:

• He used to be a Senior Lecturer in Osteopathy at the University of Derby, so explaining what's going on (in plain English) comes naturally.
• He teaches Taekwondo, and holds a 3rd-degree black belt.
• He's a Mental Health First Aider.
• He's had back pain himself and was helped by an osteopath. That's a big part of why he does this job.

As well as osteopathy, Ross offers medical acupuncture, cranial osteopathy, shockwave therapy, cupping and kinesiology taping at our clinic on Vernon Street, Derby.

Did you know manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) isn't only for after surgery? We see a lot of post-surgery clients, but we also offer MLD sessions for clients living with lymphoedema or lipoedema, fluid retention, post cancer swelling, or clients wanting a boost to their general health.

MLD is a gentle, rhythmic, relaxing massage: slow, light movements rather than deep pressure. Many clients find it relaxing, and your first session starts with a consultation, chat about your history and what you'd like from your appointments.

Sessions are with Natasha at our clinic at 14 Vernon Street, Derby city centre.

Book your appointment online: https://clientportal.uk.zandahealth.com/clientportal/bd69c124-b7d2-4dd7-b048-c06c61ef8f14?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=BB-wk1026&utm_content=BB-1027-1930-FB
Or call 07487 305530 if you'd like to talk it through first.

Is there anything you'd like to know about MLD before booking?

Does your headache seem to start at the back of your neck and creep up over your head? Some headaches are linked to the neck, and they're something our osteopaths are often asked about.

Osteopathy may help with headaches arising from the neck. At your first appointment, one of our GOsC-registered osteopaths will ask about your headaches, your health and your daily routine (screens, driving, sleep), look at how your neck and shoulders move and examine you. They'll explain what they've found and agree a plan with you, with treatment if appropriate.

We're at 14 Vernon Street in Derby city centre, with parking at the rear off York Street. Open Monday to Friday until 8pm.

When did you last take time out just for you?

Our head, neck and shoulders massage is a 45-minute session with Natasha, our FHT-registered therapist. It focuses on the areas that tend to carry the week: your shoulders, your neck and your head. It's a calm, relaxing session in a beautifully charged relaxing treatment room at 14 Vernon Street, Derby city centre.

Availability and appointments can be sought online or by phone.

What does "GOsC-registered" actually mean when you're choosing an osteopath?

In the UK, "osteopath" is a protected title. Only people registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) can legally call themselves an osteopath, and registered osteopaths must meet the GOsC's Osteopathic Practice Standards.

All of the osteopaths at Balanced Bodies are GOsC-registered, and you can check any osteopath on the GOsC's public register at osteopathy.org.uk. Natasha, our complementary therapist, is a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT).

Choosing someone to treat you is a big deal, and we think it's worth knowing who you're seeing.

What's it actually like to see Ross? We'll let Emma tell you:

"Have had a few treatments by Ross, always professional and thorough, explaining what he does as he goes."

Thank you, Emma. Explaining things clearly matters to us: you should always know what's happening and why.

Do your knees or hips grumble more on cold, damp mornings? You're not the only one. It's something we hear a lot from clients at this time of year.

If joint pain is getting in the way of the things you enjoy, from walking the dog to getting up the stairs, it's worth getting it looked at. Osteopathy may help with arthritic pain, and with hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis as an addition to your core treatment and exercise.

At your first appointment, one of our GOsC-registered osteopaths will ask about your joints, your health and your routine, look at how you move and examine you, then agree a plan with you, with treatment if appropriate.
