Many people continue to work from home post-covid, and whilst the benefits of this can be huge the toll on our bodies can be noticeable. Where we may once have been sat in an ergonomic office chair with a desk at the perfect height, we could now be sat on a sofa or chair that is not designed for sitting on for long periods of time

As we approach International Women’s Day on 8th March 2023, we thought we would highlight some of the benefits osteopathy can offer to women.

February has long been known as National Heart Month in the USA, and The British Heart Foundation has followed suit declaring the month #HeartMonth. We all know our hearts are what keep us upright and alive, but what can we do to ensure they remain in tip-top condition?

As January has drawn to a close and the festivities of December seem a distant memory, some of us will have come to the end of a New Year challenge - Dry January, Veganuary, No-sugar-anuary etc. Some of us may have taken on such challenges and failed at the first whiff of a social event, and some of us may not have felt the need to participate at all, but for others the pressure to ‘transform’ in the New Year and become the ‘New You’ can be stressful and overwhelming.
