Hello 👋👋🚶‍➡️🚶‍➡️🚶‍➡️🚶‍➡️🚶‍➡️

I don't often post like this on here but I think it is for a great Charity and important cause ....this weekend I will be taking part in a 13mile charity walk in the peak district.

On Sunday June 7th 300 ladies & gents will be walking through our beautiful Derbyshire countryside to raise vital funds and awareness for the Glitz & Glamour charity registered charity number 1213411.

Around 170 will walk 26 miles and 130 will walk a 13 mile route to raise funds for The Derby Breast Test Appeal and The Gynae Cancer Research funds all based at The Derby & Burton hospitals.

This year’s walk will be in memory of a very special lady MARIE BACON (PATTINSON) who sadly lost her fight last year and did so much for the Glitz & Glamour charity.

You just never know if we will need it ourselves or for our loved ones.

If you would like to support us and make a donation please use the link below and make a reference to Helen & Will.

Thanks & thanks again 💕

Help Kay and team raise money to support Glitz & Glamour Ashbourne

At Leek Osteopathic Health Centre we are always pleased to receive feedback - here are some of the words a patient has used to describe their experience of visiting us at the clinic.

We always appreciate feedback from patients, it helps us show others what the work is we do at the clinic. This is a great example of how we work with individuals on their own goals - no generic programme that everyone follows but what do you need as an individual.

Wishing good luck to all year 11's starting their GCSE's

Do your best but remember exams alone don't define who you are.

I've been a little quiet on here recently but today I'm spending the day on a CPD course.

As part of being a Registered osteopath I have to complete 90hrs of learning over a 3yr cycle.

Today Dr.Ray Perrin is holding his annual ME/CFS conference, it's usually in Manchester so I attend in person but this year he's holding it London so I've joined online....always interesting to learn more and catch up on the various research projects taking place to help gain a better understanding of this debilitating condition.

Today, we remember and reflect on the life and work of John Wernham, whose contribution to osteopathy continues to shape clinical thinking well beyond his own time.

John Wernham stood within a lineage that carried forward the early osteopathic principles, yet he was not simply a transmitter of ideas. His work was characterised by a persistent effort to clarify how the body functions as an integrated whole under the influence of gravity, strain, and internal demand. Rather than reducing clinical problems to isolated structures, he emphasised the organisation of the entire system.

Central to his teaching was the view that what presents in the patient is not random, nor purely local, but an expression of how the body has adapted over time. In this sense, symptoms are part of a broader pattern, reflecting the body’s attempt to maintain equilibrium under changing conditions.

John Wernham’s approach required careful observation, patience, and a willingness to think beyond technique. Treatment was not about applying more interventions, but about understanding where the system had become constrained, and how it might reorganise when those constraints were eased.

For many, his teaching marked a shift, from doing more to seeing more clearly.

His influence persists not only in the methods passed down, but in the standard he set for clinical reasoning: disciplined, whole-body, and grounded in principle.

On his birthday, it is worth revisiting not just what he taught, but how he approached the problem of the living body — as a dynamic, adaptive system, always seeking balance.

That perspective remains as relevant now as it was then.
