Fantastic treatment, can't recommend them enough. Tom helped with my various aches and joint pain from running and also gave me so much advice for my upcoming half marathon. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and very accommodating- helping to sort last minute appointments and change/alter when needed. I have seen a few different chiropractors at the clinic and they have all been very knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. Tom particularly has been great and got me back out running pain-free.

I had one appointment with Jamie after suffering tremendous pain and he totally relieved the pain, allowing me to carry on with my life as normally as possible with my ongoing back weakness. I would highly recommend him to anyone and would totally trust him to help me again in the future.

Tom has been great right from the start. From listening to me and everything I had to tell him in our first meeting. Taking me and my previous (less good) experience with chiropractors into account and seriously considering why I was there. He helped me, that first time and has done for the number of sessions I've had since. He answers all my nerdy, analytical questions and adapts to me as I need him to. He's also not a snake oil salesman, talking himself out of the possibility of a job within the first month if I found I no longer needed him. None of this "oh, look, another problem I'll need to see you for" malarkey. Tom has been honest and so helpful every time. The reception staff at Skelian are lovely, the atmosphere is nice, and whilst not cheap I have never felt swindled. Only understood, because back pain is a universal suffering we can all sympathise with. Couldn't recommend them and Tom more. And I'll soon be in maintenance, somewhere I never thought I'd get to when all this started in February.

I have been seeing Jamie for the last couple of months, and absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I love his holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture to try and piece together the reasons why my neck and hips are so painful. I always feel anxious when having to go to someone different when it comes to my health, but Jamie is so kind, friendly and understanding of people and how they are feeling. We have had some great results so far with my treatment and feel we are making some headway with all my aches and pains. If you are feeling nervous and not sure what to expect, Jamie is the guy for you.

I recently had a sports massage with Brad, due to extended periods of computer use, I suffer with neck and shoulder tension. Brad was able to work out all the knots in my back and shoulders. I have definitively felt the benefits ever since.

Winter Wellness

During winter it’s essential to approach our health and wellness routines with mindfulness and care. Just like the wildlife and plants around us, our bodies also benefit from a gradual transition into increased activity and nourishment.

Here are some suggestions to help you ease into a healthy new year. 

1. Mindful Movement

Winter often invites us to hibernate, but a gentle and consistent approach to movement can make a significant difference. Begin with activities that embrace the season, such as a leisurely winter walk or a session of gentle stretching indoors. Consider incorporating activities like yoga or tai chi, which not only promote flexibility but also provide a mindful and calming experience.

2. Progressive Exercise Routine

Rather than jumping into intense workouts, consider gradually increasing the duration and intensity of your exercises. Start with shorter sessions and low-impact activities, such as swimming or cycling. Listen to your body, allowing it time to adapt and build strength naturally.

3. Joint Mobility Exercises

Focus on exercises that promote joint mobility and flexibility. Simple movements like shoulder rolls, ankle circles, and neck stretches can help improve overall joint function and reduce the risk of injury as you start engaging in more vigorous activities. If you are struggling with any of this it might be worth a check up visit with one of our chiropractors at the clinic.

4. Winter Nutrition Tips

Embrace the seasonal bounty of winter by incorporating nutrient-rich foods into your diet. Include a variety of colourful vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Foods high in vitamin D, such as fatty fish, mushrooms, and fortified dairy products, can help combat the winter blues and support overall health.

5. Hydration is Key

Even in colder weather, staying hydrated is crucial. Opt for warm beverages like herbal teas and hot water with lemon to maintain hydration levels. Adequate water intake supports joint health, digestion, and overall well-being. Just bear in mind that, caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee have the opposite effect. So keep in mind moderation when it comes to caffeinated warm drinks this winter.

6. Warm-Up and Cool Down

Before engaging in any physical activity, ensure a proper warm-up to prepare your muscles and joints. Likewise, conclude your exercise routine with a gradual cool down, incorporating stretches to promote flexibility and prevent stiffness.

7. Listen to Your Body

Pay close attention to how your body responds to changes in activity and nutrition. If you experience any discomfort or pain, it’s essential to adjust your routine accordingly. Our chiropractors at the clinic can help with not just treating your aches and pains but give advice on your exercise routine, nutritional and lifestyle advice. So if you’re not sure of anything just get in contact with the clinic for more help and advice.

Remember, the key to a healthy and balanced new year lies in gentle, consistent efforts. By embracing the winter season mindfully, you set the foundation for a year filled with vitality and well-being. Over the coming months we will provide more hints and tips to look after your health. Let us know if there are any questions you would like us to answer in the next email.
