Colne Osteopathy

Colne Osteopathy Hands on Health in Pendle. Detailed postural and osteopathic assessment, and manual treatment for a range of complaints.

The method involves careful assessment of pelvic rotation and restrictions. Patients are regularly given detailed but down to earth explanations of treatment options and the proposed causes of their symptoms both long and short term. This results in rapidly effective treatment often.

In reflexion for this week at the practice we had, a couple of patients for whom the main aim of their treatment was a safe space, to help their resilience.

One of the elements that can be used to help Complex PTSD is in fact manual therapy.

A quiet gentle treatment from as little as (15mins for the return patient has proven to be very well received).

In a world increasing "burnout" I consider this a very important facet to well being not just pathology.

I hope that helps

Hi Folks,

Please note I will be away from the practice until first week in September.

If your planning a treatment please phone 01282 702 056 as other media gets too difficult to manage accurate bookings.

Many thanks.

Dear regulars,

I must apologise, I read so much science I forget that most people don't. I have just been chatting with an old pal and realised just how far down the rabbit hole of integrated health I have gone. LOL

I will try to keep posts easier to digest. :D

Dear Reader,

Over the last...44 years or so I have been deeply interested in how the body and mind work.. Long before I formally studied manual therapy I was looking into frameworks of what makes the human form tick.
For this reason when simple so called "self limiting" muscle pain is diagnosed by the Gp's I am immediately MUCH more interested than leaving it as a self limiting phenomena..

Why? The reason is that there is a plethora of "environment factors" that might be underlying reasons. Like a big exposure to a heavy metal or chemical- Plumbers can get that, people working near oils like mechanics, or hairdressers...
Or farmers/fruit pickers who got a lung full of multiple chemicals. With unknown interactions. (Polypharmacy). someone living in a house with black mould or poor ventilation...

Another might be "post viral syndrome" another convenient description of a very complicated group of reactions involving sore tender muscles/sinews, crazy fatigue or "fibromyalgia" type symptoms

Its perfectly fine to take the view that there is a self limiting muscle pain, but I contend there is another approach that can go along side that.

It is worth mentioning though that to get tests to prove what might only be a short term reason behind a symptom can cost a lot of money, only for the test to no longer be valid after a month..

So its a tricky thing, and hard to explain.

With the emergence of SARS2-COVID, and a major rise in environment mould and body burden of yeast.. muscle pain got trickier- in my experience.

I hope that helps.

Mini follow up post

LADIES

Most men simply do not realise when they are exuding a state of being "Hangry"/non specific green mist. What I prefer to call being liverish.
Ladyfolk the world over know their male kin and friends get this on occassion.

Under NO circumstances should you try to get the male to discuss their state, and you should avoid anything contentious or correcting anything they need "training" in at that time.
They are not likely to be aware of their state and will be "triggered" into an abrupt response that will feel like a WHACK into your sense of self, probably taking the rest of the day to recover from...

Be wise and find a reason for a bit of separation as the man could well be in a TOXIC state that their liver/testosterone needs to time to bring back to pleasant norm.

Personally I think getting the male to do a walk or gym visit to burn the toxin is likely to help. (Sorry gentlemen but these are my observations).

***This is my personal view based on hundreds of clinical conversations, mostly with wives/girlfriends/mums/sisters...***

Chronic stress..What we can do?

Simple things that can have a positive impact on chronic stress, immune, and muscular health.

Find a daily activity that you can choose to make relaxing..This might sound silly- but its not.

a). Chew food GENTLY, and very thoroughly I have advocated a carrot each morning or apple. Low power low rate.

b) Deliberately drive home in a slow sedate manner. Imagine "Miss Daisy " in the back. If hounded don't race- pull over at an appropriate spot and let the person in a rush go past.

c) Go for stroll slow pace NOT a power walk. Avoid toxic company who might take conversation to their topics, constantly.

d) No phones at a meal time learn gentle topics that everyone is happy with, make a list of things you Like sharing.

e) Avoid starting the day looking at phone, ipad, lap top. Let natural day light wake you, or red light.

f) Try a low carb or complex carb breakfast, if in doubt ask an AI or me.

g) Don't start with coffee start with an herbal tea. Have coffee after the hydration and health of say Ginger/lemon tea.

GENTLEMEN

If you are feeling grumpy/tired please remember you could really ruin a lady's well being by the tone in your voice.......I KID YOU NOT!!! Speak gently measure the "meter" of your voice it will help the female significant others. If your not sure what this means ask me. By the way, your not likely to realise you did this OR believe it when told..at least at first.

I frequently have to re learn this one as I know I manage a toxic load..do you?

I hope that helps.
