I see a lot of people in my Kensington and Ascot osteopathy clinics who have longstanding pain – and they obviously want to do something about it. Pain is a normal part of life. It’s adaptive and when it’s short lived, it’s providing useful information. From a traumatic knee injury to an achy back from […]
The other day I was doing a livestream on my Facebook page about how to help your upper back and neck with a mobility exercise you can do at your desk. I had a question come through after the video – asking me to talk a bit more about myself. So – I went back […]
What is a Migraine? According to a recent study, around 20% of all headaches are migraines and for those who experience them often you’ll know they are more than ‘just a headache’. Migraine is not ‘just a headache’ but a debilitating and complex neurovascular condition. As we now know, a migraine can occur when […]
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on why ‘routine imaging’ is a bad idea. Xrays are not a great idea for routine back or neck pain. Nearly every study done on back and neck pain imaging shows us that what is found in an Xray and MRI has no relationship to the pain […]

There are three canals, all with a slightly different position, which provide information to the brain about where our head is moving in space relative to gravity. There is an anterior canal, a posterior canal and a horizontal […]
If we think about what our immune system does, we don’t REALLY want to do that – we would feel MISERABLE a lot of the time. As ‘unpopular’ as it might be to modern media driven health culture, we feel better because we are toning down certain parts of our immune response which are not […]
It is finally Spring! Spring has sprung and the sun is out. People are off to work and off for the weekend with water bottles in hand, tucked into bags, and stacked ominously across their desks to ‘remind’ them to drink water. For many years, we have been bombarded with the notion that we need […]
