7 Cyber Monday Tips to survive the Christmas rush

November 26, 2017 by PureHealth

cyber monday botCyber Monday and Black Friday both made their way over here from the states. Whilst us Brits may traditionally concern ourselves with the last postal date before Christmas, or getting the tree down by 5th January. There is no avoiding the fact that these events have made their way into our festive calendar and it looks like they are here to stay.

Weather you love or hate these big sale dates, they certainly mark the time most of us will start Christmas shopping and prepping for the big day. Personally, I find the start of advent much more exciting!!

Whilst many of you love Christmas, for some it can be a difficult time. Making sure everything is ready and runs to plan for the day can be troubling on the mind or even stressful. For others it can be a time where we miss loved ones no longer around. Most of us will agree it’s harder to stick to our typical lifestyle over this time, you may have skipped the gym for the work Christmas party, or been too busy on the lead up to really take some me time and look after yourself.
Let’s enjoy the whole Christmas period by taking a few steps to take care of our body and mind.

If you are you are suffering or are feeling aches and pains then we’d love to help.

7 Cyber Monday Tips to Survive the Christmas Rush:

  1. Keep Mobile – Motion is lotion, research has even attributed movement as better for preventing pain than good posture. Whilst you may feel getting out round the shops is sufficient, and its certainly better than sitting on the sofa. We tend to stop and start move when shopping so don’t really get are hearts beating. Try taking a brisk walk to or from the shops, or park a little further away. Just take care if you plan on carrying a lot of shopping.
  2. Hydrate – water is best. Alcohol, coffee, tea, and sugary drinks impact your bodies hydration effecting muscle and joint tissue fluid dynamics. We’re not going to tell you off for indulging but do try to take a few glasses of water (its recommended we drink 8 glasses each day).cybermonday rush
  3. Try not to Stress – For some Christmas can be a bit daunting, last year I offered to cook the dinner in a kitchen that I was unfamiliar with. Whilst it was a success it was difficult being unfamiliar, I recall a near miss with a pressure cooker! Stress can cause us to hold unnecessary tension, and can effect pain. If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed try taking a minute or two for yourself and enjoy the quiet or try having a little dance to some Christmas Tunes. Remember you can always recruit family for help with your tasks, I’m sure most of them will feel honoured to be asked.
  4. Get a massage – Massage is great, it helps relieve stress and can help you relax tight muscles.
  5. Do some home yoga or stretches daily – moving and stretching tight muscles and joints can really help ease aches and pains whilst occupying the mind which can be really good to help you switch off.
  6. Try not to carry too much for too long – whilst it might be tempting to do all your shopping in one hit, make sure you’re not carrying heavy or uneven loads. If you are carrying a lot, try to drop it to the car or use a trolley rather than keep carrying it all day. Holding loads for prolonged periods can exhausts muscle tissue and can contribute to injury.
  7. Enjoy yourself – Because that what its all about. If you are putting in all this extra work to ensure you have a great Christmas, then try to enjoy yourself through the duration rather than just on the day. Take the time to make the experience more pleasurable, don’t rush, try to plan shopping trips. Make lists of hat you need to do by day and week so you can see what you have accomplished and know you’re on track.

If you are you are suffering or are feeling aches and pains then we’d love to help.

Ever Wondered what Treatment Osteopaths do?

October 27, 2017 by PureHealth

 

Osteopathic treatment largely depends on the person and their presenting complaint, I certainly wouldn’t treat your granny the same way I would treat the local rugby team! Although I do treat some pretty tough elderly patients and some comparatively delicate rugby players! This is why the initial assessment is so important, not only so we can properly diagnose your complaint, but also to form a treatment plan that works for you.

I’m not going to talk too much about the initial assessment here. This post is just going to focus on treatments and techniques we use here at Pure Health Osteopath Clinic. That way you can get a great understanding of what to expect from treatment and an idea of our treatment style. If you want to find out more about what happens in an initial consultation then please visit our first visit to an Osteopath page.

Osteopathic Treatment

Shoulder Pain TreatmentOsteopathic treatment is never just one technique for one problem, nor is it multiple techniques pulled together in an attempt to make some kind of improvement. Osteopathic treatment follows largely from our assessment; with this information we draw on our expertise, experience and latest research to really target our treatment. The aim is to optimise areas of the body so that it functions at its best. Whilst treating, we continually analyse the body for change and at look at how you respond to treatment techniques. This allows us to adapt treatment to you as your body adapts. By the end of treatment I like to see an subjective or objective improvement, better still both. Subjective improvements are how you feel after treatment (ie. feeling looser, decreased pain, able to tie up your shoelaces again). Objective improvements are generally measurable (ie. increased flexibility, improved range of motion like turning your neck again).

Treatment Techniques we use at Pure Health Osteopath Clinic

We can’t possibly cover all of them but here’s a good few – perhaps I’ll make a feature series of posts about each technique in the future.

Soft Tissue Techniques and Massage

I love massage; deep tissue, sports, lighter effleurage techniques, relaxation techniques, they all work on so many levels.

 

Predominantly we use deeper tissue techniques to help ease tight muscles and soothe pain. Although some lighter techniques can be beneficial for swelling and oedema.

Deep tissue massage techniques are thought to predominantly affect the local are by having a neurophysiological effect on various muscle receptors to cause a relaxation response in mind and body.

Mobilisation Techniques

Benefits of Osteopathy for Sports

These techniques are to help restore range of motion at our joints. The techniques work by rhythmically and skilfully articulating a joint within its range of motion to improve quality and range of motion. Generally this is applied to a restricted joint to help restore it back to full range of motion.

Joint Manipulation and High Velocity Low Amplitude Thrust Techniques (HVLAT)

Back TreatmentMost commonly applied to the small facet joints of the spine and known to cause an audible popping or click noise as the joint releases. Most people describe the feeling like a joint has been put back in place, although the joint was more likely restricted or irritated than out of place. Manipulation has multiple effects, as well as freeing up a restriction. The audible pop noise is actually the release of nitrogen gas dissolved in the joint fluid causing a temporary increase in fluid volume within the joint. This temporary effect can help your body back to function by easing the movement and allowing your body to heal itself. There are also known Neuro physiological effects than can influence the muscles associated with that joint.

 

Rehabilitation/Exercises

This is particularly important to aiding recovery or to limit re-injury. Exercise prescription is really important for so many applications.

Exercises can be targeted to help:

  • Maintain range of motion between treatments
  • Ease morning aches and pains
  • Recondition post injury to get you back to normal function
  • Improve posture

We never just issue lists of exercises. We like to take you through the specific exercises one by one, making sure you are able to do it and are doing it right. With modern phones (most people having a smart phone) we can even record or take photos on your device so you have a great reference to take away with you.

Medical Acupuncture

At Pure Health Osteopath Clinic, both Chris and Sophie are trained in medical acupuncture.

Western medical acupuncture is a therapeutic modality involving the insertion of fine needles; it is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology, and the principles of evidence based medicine. It acts mainly by stimulating the nervous system, and can help treat and ease pain.

 

Whilst there are other techniques we use to write about them all would make a very lengthy post for you to read. However if you do want to discuss treatment or like the sound of Osteopathic Treatment just give us a call on 01934 752122

January Offer £11 OFF Osteopathy

January 8, 2016 by PureHealth

£11 Off OSteopathy

Osteopathy in Bristol £11 OFF

This month we’re giving all our patients £11 off Osteopathy treatment in Bristol, for new and existing patients (limit: one use per customer). We want to help everyone feel great this year.

With the new year beginning many of us plan ahead and set goals for what we want to achieve this year. You might want to get a bit fitter, or achieve more from work, or perhaps your goal is to spend more time with the family. What ever you want to achieve from 2016 lets start the year feeling great in our own body.

We want to help:

  • Ease you into your fitness program by getting you a bit more supple and help identify areas that may benefit some specific training.
  • Ease any aches or pains distracting you from your work.
  •  Get you feeling great again so you can feel like you have more energy to keep up with the kids.

Do I need to be in Pain to Visit an Osteopath?

Short answer No! Whilst we have a good reputation for helping with aches and pains, and helping you bounce back. Osteopaths are like detectives for the body, we examine you and identify restriction or areas that aren’t functioning as well as they could. Then target our treatments to help improve or restore function, like an MOT and service for your body. We check how your running and identify how you could be running smoother then treat based on our findings.

At Pure Health Osteopath Clinic, Treatments are tailored to the individual. We use massage techniques to help ease sore or tight muscles and use articulation or manipulation (movement therapy) to help improve restriction.
