Getting up from a chair can be a simple way to support your hips and knees - if you use your body well.

Many people push up through their hands or arms without realising it, especially if they feel stiff, weak, or unsure when standing.

Instead, try this:

➡️ Bring your feet back
➡️ Lean your body forwards slightly
➡️ Press through your feet
➡️ Let your hips and thighs do the work

You can practise this each time you stand up or sit down to help keep your hips and knees strong.

If standing from a chair feels painful, difficult, or unstable, it may be worth getting it checked 👇.

This week in clinic, I had two lovely reminders of why I do this work. 🌿

One patient in their 70s came in after dealing with back pain for around 15 years, having been told many years ago that nothing could be done.

Another patient, also in their 70s, had been limping for a long time, including while away on holiday. They originally came in for a different issue and didn’t expect much to change.

Both had started to think it was just part of getting older.

After treatment, advice, an exercise plan, and education tailored to them, both noticed a really positive improvement in a short space of time. ✨

Of course, every person is different and there are never guarantees. Sometimes, though, people put up with pain or stiffness for far longer than they need to.
If you’ve been thinking, “maybe this is just how I am now,” it might be worth having it checked.

You’re always welcome to message us first if you’re unsure whether osteopathy could help. 💬

Pain can feel scary, impossible, and “not for me” - just like kitesurfing did at first 🌊

Progress is not always neat. Some days you feel brave, other days you feel like you are starting again.

That does not mean you are failing. It means your body and confidence are learning 🤍

If pain or stiffness is making movement feel scary, book an appointment and let’s take the next safe step together 🌿

Will my initial osteopathic assessment just be a chat, assessment and exercises?

This is a common question, especially if you’ve never been to an osteopath before.
Your first appointment is not a one-size-fits-all session.

We’ll talk through what’s been going on, look at how you move, and where appropriate, your appointment may include hands-on osteopathic treatment too.

Everything is specific to you - your symptoms, your age, your level of fitness, your health history, your comfort and what you’d like help with.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before booking. That’s what the assessment is there to help with.

If you have questions before booking, you’re welcome to get in touch with us.👇🌿

A gentle reminder if you’ve been putting yourself last lately 🌿

It’s easy to keep going when something feels “not bad enough yet”.

You tell yourself you’ll book when it gets worse, when work calms down, when the gardening is finished, when the school run feels less hectic, when you have more time.

Yet your body is often whispering before it starts shouting.

At the clinic, I see people who have been carrying little aches, stiffness or discomfort for weeks, sometimes months, before they finally give themselves permission to ask for support.

You don’t have to wait until you’re really struggling.

If something has been niggling and you’re wondering whether it’s worth getting checked, send me a message and I’ll help you decide your next step.

Is osteopathy worth it if you’re stiff, sore or struggling to move?

If everyday things are starting to feel harder - getting out of bed, walking, gardening, working, lifting, driving, or simply moving comfortably - osteopathy may be a helpful next step. 🌿

You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable before asking for support.

Most people think osteopathy is only for back pain 🌿

And yes, back pain is something we commonly see - alongside neck tension, headaches, pregnancy aches, jaw discomfort, tingling, scar tightness and work-related cramps or spasms.

At our clinic, we look at how your body is moving as a whole, not just the area that feels sore.

🌿 5 things you might not know about osteopathy

If you’ve never seen an osteopath before, it’s completely normal to wonder:

❓ Is it just for backs?
❓ Is it safe?
❓ Is it a bit “alternative”?
❓ Do I need to be in pain to book?

At our clinin, we look at how your body moves, how different areas may be contributing to your symptoms, and what might help you feel more comfortable, mobile and confident.

You might come in with back pain, neck tension, joint stiffness, pregnancy-related discomfort, or simply because your body doesn’t feel quite like it used to.

Osteopathy isn’t about forcing your body. It’s about listening, assessing, treating safely, and helping you understand what’s going on.
