Following on from the ‘thread the needle’ 🪡 exercise last week here’s another nice exercise for helping to release tension in your neck, shoulders and upper back. Also a challenge in co-ordination with this one! 😂 Easily done at your desk or while waiting for the kettle to boil! 🪑🫖

Inflammation can often be a cause of pain. 😖 Whilst when you have an injury or illness some inflammation is necessary to kick start the healing process. 🤕 We will often recommend ice and gentle movement to help reduce local, acute inflammation as this will reduce pain levels allowing for more mobility, because after all movement is medicine! 🧘🏻🏃🏼‍♂️
When inflammation becomes chronic and systemic rather than local this is when it can affect our long term health. 😬😷
For more information or if you'd like to discuss your health further dont hesitate to get in touch 01737 324525 www.bansteadhealthhub.co.uk☎️💻

If you’ve slept in different beds whilst on your summer holidays and woken up with a stiff upper back this is a great stretch, demonstrated by Anna, to loosen things up!🛏️🏝️A variation on the child’s pose stretch we posted a few weeks ago this adds some rotation into your upper back and shoulders! Also nice after training your back in the gym! 💪

Headaches! 🤯🤕
They can be so debilitating and stop us from working, socialising, exercising, making us grumpy and snappy and make concentrating almost impossible.😣
There are several different types of headache and the 2 first questions we ask patients who come in with headaches are 'are you drinking enough water?' and 'when did you last have your eyes checked?' because these are 2 obvious and 'easy fixes.'💦🤓
Cervicogenic headaches have their root cause in structures of the neck and shoulders; tight muscles and joint restriction. Osteopathy and sports massage can be a big help here by getting the neck and shoulders functioning properly. 💆🏻‍♀️
Migraine headaches are still relatively poorly understood and triggers can vary hugely from person to person as can symptoms. Research has shown that osteopathic treatment can help with both intensity and frequency of migraines.
🚨There are a few instances when headaches need immediate medical attention these are if a very intense headache comes on suddenly (known as a thunderclap headache) or if a headache is accompanied by slurred speech, confusion, sudden weakness, loss of vision a high temperature with a stiff neck or after a head injury.🚨
If you want some more information about how osteopathy can help with you headaches do give us a call on 01737 324525 or message us through our website www.bansteadhealthhub.co.uk☎️🖥️

Hydration is so important in this hot weather! 🔥☀️ Just low levels of dehydration can lead to big impacts on our physical and mental function especially in the heat! When we’re dehydrated our blood volume drops, meaning our heart has to work harder to pump it round our body and also means less of that blood is reaching our skin to cool us down. So keep sipping little and often to stay cool! Water is best but sliced lemon, cucumber or berries in your water can make it more interesting! 🍋🥒

A great exercise here from Anna to help loosen your upper and mid-back and open your chest. Great if you sit at a desk for long hours 🖥️or spend a lot of time driving 🚗. Or even after a heavy back focussed workout in the gym. 🏋️ If you need more help or advice around stretching or back issues give us a call on 01737 324525 or message us at [email protected]. ☎️📧

Tendonitis or tendonopathy is something we see regularly in clinic. 👀

The definition of tendonitis is inflammation of the affected tendon, which strictly can only be diagnosed with imaging (ultrasound or MRI) 🩻 which is why we also use the term tendonopathy. Tendonopathy is more an umbrella term for pain, irritation and thickening of a tendon, which tendonitis falls under.

Treatment usually consists of rest, ice, avoiding or minimising the aggravating movement and some hands on work. 🙌🧊💪
In clinic we would work on the muscles associated with the symptomatic tendon, and ensure the joints nearby are functioning well. We find tendon issues often respond well to dry needling and we would also look at taping the area to help provide some support and maximise blood supply.
Once the initial acute phase is over we would then prescribe some strengthening exercises to help prevent it happening again. 💪🏋️

Some of the common tendon issues we treat in clinic are:
tennis and golfers elbow 🎾🏌️‍♀️
achilles tendonitis
various tendonitis' of the shoulder 💪
runners and jumpers knee 🦵

If you'd like some help with your tendonitis book in through our website www.bansteadhealthhub.co.uk or give us a call 01737 324525
