Sharing this from a very real place…

I’ve got teenagers going through exams right now, and you can feel the pressure in the house.

What’s helped me most is using the NLP tools I’ve been learning - especially understanding this:

Stress is a state… and states can change.

So instead of trying to remove the stress, I’ve been focusing on simple shifts in language, focus, and state - and it’s made a big difference for all of us.

I’ve put some of the tools we’re using at home into this carousel - to help reduce overwhelm, build calm, and support that post-exam reset.

Because calm and confidence are skills… and they can be learned 🤍

Paediatric Osteopathy FAQs – Part 2 👶✨

“How can osteopathy help my baby?”
“What happens during a session?”

Paediatric osteopathy uses gentle, hands-on techniques to support your baby’s comfort, movement and development in a calm and relaxed environment 🌱

During a session, treatment is always tailored to your baby’s individual needs, with plenty of time to talk through concerns, feeding, sleep, development and any questions you may have as a parent.

C-section scars can sometimes leave ongoing tightness, pulling or numbness long after healing.

This client came to see Nicola Malone 12 weeks after her second C-section wanting to support recovery and avoid the issues she experienced after her first birth.

Using scar therapy, hands-on treatment and simple home care, she worked on improving movement, comfort and healing.

Paediatric Osteopathy FAQs – Part 1

“What is paediatric osteopathy?”
“Do I need a referral?”

These are two of the most common questions parents ask — so we're answering them in today’s reel.

Paediatric osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on supporting babies, children and young people as they grow and develop 🌱

And the good news? In most cases, you do not need a referral to book an appointment.

If you have more questions about paediatric osteopathy, leave them in the comments and we may answer them in Part 2 👇

Two years on from launching our Knee Clinic, we’re proud of just how much it has grown—and more importantly, how many people it has helped.

What started as a focused service has developed into a trusted pathway for patients struggling with a wide range of knee problems. Over the past two years, we’ve successfully supported individuals with conditions such as ligament injuries, meniscal tears, patellofemoral (anterior knee) pain, osteoarthritis, tendon issues, post-surgical rehabilitation, and general overuse or sports-related injuries.

Our approach has always been centred on combining thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, hands-on treatment, and tailored exercise rehabilitation. This integrated method means we don’t just treat symptoms—we address the underlying cause and support long-term recovery.

Every patient’s journey is different, and that’s why personalised care is at the heart of what we do. Whether someone is aiming to return to sport, stay active, or simply move without pain, we’ve seen first-hand how the right combination of expertise and rehabilitation can make a real difference.

Two years in, the results speak for themselves: improved outcomes, increased confidence, and many patients getting back to doing what they love.

Meet Tom Bedford, Director at Iffley Turn Practice

Tom graduated with a first-class degree from the European School of Osteopathy in 1998 and has been helping patients ever since—so with nearly 30 years of experience, there’s not much he hasn’t seen! He has a particular passion for treating sciatic and lower back pain, and is known for working wonders with stubborn shoulder problems.

Alongside running the clinic, Tom has extensive teaching experience, including a decade as a clinic tutor at Oxford Brookes, and has taught osteopathic techniques across the UK and Europe. He’s also co-founder and Chair of the award-winning Oxfordshire Osteopathic Network and has contributed to the profession through his work with the General Osteopathic Council.

Outside the clinic, Tom enjoys cycling and spending time in nature as a keen birder, photographer, and conservationist. He is amazing.

(And yes—I might be a little biased as his colleague, number one fan… and wife! 😊 Summeara)

🎓 Is revision taking a toll on your teen’s body?

Long hours at a desk don’t just challenge the brain — they can quietly impact posture, breathing, and overall comfort too.

We can help with some hand on treatment and tailored advice on postural issues.

Tom and Summeara spent their Sunday investing in something that truly strengthens the care we provide 💙

They attended an incredible Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course delivered by Jude Houseago — and it was worth every single moment. The day offered powerful insights and practical tools that will directly benefit our patients.

In healthcare, we often see people come in with physical pain, but this course reinforced just how closely mental health and physical wellbeing are connected. Understanding what might be happening beneath the surface allows us to listen more deeply, support more effectively, and recognise when someone may need help beyond their physical symptoms.

As registered Osteopaths, completing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an essential part of maintaining high standards of care — and this course was a meaningful and impactful way to do just that.

It’s a valuable step forward in ensuring we treat the whole person — not just the pain they present with.

Grateful for the learning, and excited to bring this into our everyday patient care.
