Hip pain, though common, can make daily activities like walking and sitting challenging. If you’re experiencing discomfort, osteopathy might be the solution. It can help by improving your range of motion, decreasing pain, enhancing posture, and overall quality of life. Osteopaths use various techniques to alleviate hip pain, recommend exercises to maintain hip mobility, and suggest lifestyle changes for long-term relief. Taking a holistic approach, they assess your body to identify and address the root cause of your pain. Visit our website to learn more and book an appointment.

Come fall, our to do lists become expansive and over -flowing beckoning us to address that which we’ve put off for some time in order to enjoy an expansive summer. It can be overwhelming yet oddly comforting to check off each to do item on our list only to discover there is no shortage of more. To be lists are equally important as they allow us to shift out of our heads and spend the quality time with ourselves, nature, music, creativity and the people that fill our hearts. This calms down our nervous system. Taking the time daily to do & to be, creates harmony and balance in our lives.

Gratitude is a powerful tool with transformative effects on mental health and overall well-being, especially for seniors. In later years, aging can be a time of fulfillment and joy, and practicing gratitude may be key to unlocking these enriching experiences. Beyond boosting emotional well-being, gratitude also supports physical health by improving sleep quality and reducing stress and depression. Taking a moment each day to appreciate even the smallest joys can lower the risk of heart attack, angina, and stroke, help manage arthritic pain, and reduce frailty in older adults
