ThreeSixty Osteopathy

We’re excited to welcome Vai to the ThreeSixty Osteo team!

Vai has a background in personal training. His passion for helping people led him to explore other avenues of healthcare before quickly realising that Osteopathy was the perfect fit. It allows him to combine his interest in exercise with hands-on treatment to support people in their recovery and overall movement.

He values involving patients in the process so they feel a sense of ownership over their outcomes. Vai's goal is for the patient to feel heard, understand what’s happening in their body, and leave with the confidence to make changes that support their recovery. Working as a team!

He has a special interest in fall prevention and supporting patients to build strength, balance, and confidence so they can stay active and independent.

He will be in clinic on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday!

We’re thrilled to have him on board.

A lovely and well deserved night out celebrating the ThreeSixty team! 🎄
Victoria, Clare, Jess, and Holly (not pictured) always go the extra mile to help ease their patients’ aches and pains. And a big thank you to the wonderful Michelle, who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes so our osteos can focus on what they do best. It really is a team effort!

We wanted to let our ThreeSixty community know that Clare will soon be taking some time away from the clinic to undergo wrist surgery. Her last day before leave will be Tuesday, 9th December.
Her focus over the summer will be on healing well, and we’re fully behind her as she takes the time she needs to recover.

If you’re one of her regular patients, our team is here to support you during her break, just reach out and we’ll make sure you are well looked after. 💛

We are hiring! ✨

Do you have parkinsons or do you know somebody who does?

This is an informative video posted by Hibiscus Neuro Rehab explaining how to get the most out of your movement / walk. As Sarah explains, when you alter the way you walk by using these tips it can also reduce the risk of falling.

🧠 Parkinson’s Disease: Focus on Quality Over Quantity 🏃‍♀️ When it comes to walking, bigger is better! Taking big steps and using big arm swings helps retrain the brain and improve movement patterns. This is what we mean by focusing on quality of movement rather than speed or distance. At Hibiscus Neuro Rehab, we use these principles to help people with Parkinson’s move more confidently and safely in everyday life. It is not about how far or how fast you go, but about how well you move. #ParkinsonsAwareness #NeuroPhysio #HibiscusNeuroRehab #ParkinsonsRehab #QualityOfMovement #NeuroRehabilitation

Want to get the most out of your osteo appointment?
Here’s how to become one of our favourite patients (and no, it doesn’t involve cake... although we won’t say no 😉)

✅ Know how your pain feels e.g. is it sharp, achey, burning, annoying?
✅ Notice when it gets worse e.g. getting dressed or out of bed
✅ Think about whether it is truly constant or just always there (see blog for further explanation on the difference)

These simple tips help us help you faster, and more effectively!

💡 Bonus points for bringing your diary, arriving on time, and giving us notice if plans change.

NB: These tips can also be applied to your doctor or any other health service provider.

Let’s get you feeling better, sooner!

Forward Head Posture.. A Real Pain in the Neck!

Spending long hours at your desk or glued to your phone? You might be unknowingly slipping into forward head posture. That hunched, turtle-like position that puts serious strain on your neck, shoulders, and upper back.

- Burning neck pain
- Tight shoulders
- Fatigue just from sitting
- Annoying headaches
Sound familiar?

The longer your head is held forward, the harder your neck muscles have to work and they will not be happy about it.

But the good news? There are ways to support better posture and reduce that constant ache.

✅ Learn why your setup matters
✅ Easy tips to fix your sitting posture
✅ How Osteopathy can help

Check out the full blog to find out how to get your head (and spine) carrying itself with less strain.
