Coming to the clinic can feel quite daunting at the moment especially if you’ve never been before. However we want to reassure you that behind all the PPE there are friendly faces ready to welcome you. 🙂🙂🙂

Our osteopath Sarah is celebrating 20 years in practice 🥳 For a while I thought I might be celebrating this in lockdown! However we are open again and it has felt great to be back seeing patients and doing what I love. I would like to thank all of our patients past and present.

The next on our list of wonderful practitioners to celebrate are our Osteopaths; a more recent addition to the AHP family, having joined the previously existing 12 AHP Professions along side ODPs in 2017. Osteopathy can be described as a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems through touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage. They also have a strong focus on promoting general health and well-being by providing advice on exercise, posture and lifestyle to complement their manual Therapy, aid recovery and prevent symptoms or injury from recurring.

Osteopathy can be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions - for example arthritis, back pain, minor sports injuries, headaches and postural problems - and is based on the principle that physical well-being depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues working together smoothly. Osteopaths aim to relieve muscle tension, enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and encourage the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

Osteopaths treat patients of different ages and conditions, and work out of different settings such as NHS outpatient departments, GP surgeries, and specialist clinics. As with all AHPs, Osteopaths have had to adapt their practice in response to Covid-19. In some cases clinics have had to temporarily close, however a number have continued to offer urgent and/or remote consultations. As businesses and services around the UK start to re-open, Osteopaths are being encouraged to use their clinical judgment, and continue use video or phone consultations where appropriate. Osteopaths are another little-known-about Profession with a big impact on people’s lives, and deserve a big shout out for their efforts both now during this difficult time, and in general!

I’ve been busy at the clinic beginning preparations for reopening, removing all linen, toy boxes, anything not essential and marking up the floors. We have our ppe and are hoping to be open next week. If you had an appointment cancelled due to Covid-19 or have contacted us whilst we have been shut, we will be contacting you shortly to do a screening call and offer you an appointment.

This week is mental health awareness week. I think it’s really important for everyone to understand that depression isn’t just sadness, there is so much more to it.

When baby is 6-7 months old it is all about introducing different tastes and textures whilst gradually increasing the amount of solids offered. Some babies are slower than others, just follow their lead and go at their speed. If your baby was born prematurely it may take longer for them to get used to feeds and may be a bit more messy! Let them have fun exploring foods, allowing it to be an enjoyable experience for all of you.

MONDAY MYTHBUSTER
Skin to skin is only for breastfed babies. WRONG: skin to skin is an excellent way to calm and comfort baby at anytime. It calms and relaxes both parent and baby, regulates baby’s heart rate, breathing and temperature. It enables colonisation with the parents friendly bacteria providing protection against infection. If you choose not to breastfeed, holding baby in skin to skin for their feed helps with bonding, and also helps with noticing when they are feeling full. If your baby is sleepy and not waking for feeds, skin to skin can help to stimulate baby’s natural feeding reflexes whether breast or bottle fed.

MONDAY MYTH BUSTER
“Babies need lots of toys.” WRONG: Babies learn so much from just watching us and looking at our faces. Singing, reading and talking to your baby are great ways to provide stimulation. How about doing round and round the garden on their hands, or this little piggy on their toes, or giving them a nice baby massage whilst talking to them. Having some time on a mat or blanket on the floor allowing them to kick and move their arms freely is wonderful and also helps them to integrate their reflexes and help with their motor development.

Great tip especially if your neck or back is aching from looking down or if you find yourself slumping in your chair to achieve the right screen height

It's important to check your work station set up at home. Here is a helpful tip to access your station. We have even more tips to help you work from home http://ow.ly/OBah50zfIIT

During pregnancy it can be quite easy to forget to do pelvic floor exercises. But did you know that doing them antenatally not only helps to prevent problems postnatally but can also help your baby to get into position during labour.

I know a lot of people who have decided to have a spring clean whilst stuck indoors. If you’re planning on having a bit of a clear out remember to take care of yourself and think before you lift!s

“Babies who are held too much become demanding and spoilt”. WRONG: You cannot spoil a baby. Being close to your baby helps them to feel secure and loved, and they grow to be more confident and independent.

There are many ways partners and close family can get involved, here’s some lovely ways to bond with baby. ❤️
