Sadly Yvonne can no longer cover our Saturday clinic so we need someone very special to replace her.  If you are qualified for at least 3 years and have varied MSK experience then please contact us.  Acupuncture and private practice experience highly desirable.

Take a deep breath..... if you find you are about to blow your top (inconsiderate driver in front, boss being unreasonable, just people!), take a deep lungful of breath and as you let it go, say to yourself  'it just doesn't matter'.  Sometimes it does matter of course but ask yourself, is getting wound-up helping?  Contact us if you are having trouble dealing with stress.

As an experienced women's health Physiotherapist I often feel saddened and frustrated when I hear how long women have suffered in silence before seeking help for bladder problems.  We should be taking about it more.  Have a listen.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014gdqs#p00kgmw8

Please all be careful in this icy weather!  Ensure adequate footware and above all, take your time - rushing creates a real risk of falling.  Taking firm short steps and being mindful of your surroundings will help to keep you safer.

Bernie will be available before the big game (on Saturday 4th) to answer questions about any concerns or injuries you may have.  If you are a Chingford Rugby Club member, come down and say hello!

Don't start the season with any niggles.  Get that dodgy ankle or knee checked out so you can know how to rehabilitate it.  Wouldn't it be great to throw yourself into the game without any worries?

Perhaps with the good weather you will be doing activities you haven't done since last summer.  Enthusiasm can get the better of us as we throw ourselves into a seldom practiced activity with gusto!  Perhaps it's not until the next morning that we find ourselves in a pickle - aching back from paddling the canoe, sore shoulder from playing tennis, creaky knees from climbing ......

How many of us remember to gently stretch our bodies and drink extra water to say 'sorry body' for working it so hard for the first time in ages?!

Remember to check your posture a little and often when at your desk.  Despite best intentions, it is easy to slump into poor posture.  Often the first indication that we have been working in a poor position is pain - by then it's too late!  Set your computer or mobile phone to 'beep' or alarm in some way, reset each hour and use this to check your posture.  Are your feet flat on the floor, wrists neutral, shoulders back?  Make sure your chin is not poking forward and that your mouse hasn't migrated too far from your keyboard (causing you to reach, placing strain on your neck and shoulder).
