Can't believe we're posting this but we are shattered to share the news of the passing of Bob Chatterjee - spinal surgeon extraordinaire!

Bob died suddenly on Friday 4th September, leaving behind his wife Lisa and two daughters and his team of amazing support staff. Not to mention thousands of patients and medical colleagues. He will be missed dreadfully. He had so much life yet to live and good to bring to the world.

On a very personal note, Perry and I have known him for over 20 years - as a spinal specialist - and for the last 17 years as a friend (and for me as a patient). He performed major surgery on my back over 10 years ago as well as multiple scans and spinal injections before and since. There have been times when I thought I'd never walk, let alone work again - yet here I am!

He's also welcomed numerous of our patients who we've referred to him, who have benefitted from his knowledge, technical excellence and compassionate care.

Bob was one of the world's good guys - brilliant, patient, kind, compassionate and humble. RIP

At last! We have Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage available at the Broad Street practice

Manual lymphatic drainage is a specialised gentle skin massage used to relieve painful swelling, lymphoedema, by encouraging the natural flow of lymph fluid. It uses light rhythmic, pumping and circular movements rather than deep tissue pressure, making it highly effective for post-surgical recovery, fluid, retention, and fibromyalgia.

We're delighted that Rebecca Otto, our therapeutic massage therapist, has undergone the rigorous training required and is now registered with the British Lymphology Society.

Appointments with Rebecca are available to book online or by contacting our reception team. All patients need to attend a 90-minute (£130) initial consultation for their first MLD appointment. Follow-up treatments either 60 minutes (£80) or 90 minutes duration (£130) depending on your presentation.

Call 01780 480889 to book or book online via our website at www.thebroadstreetpractice.co.uk

Duncan's been a key practitioner at the Practice for about 15 years.

Pain has a cause. Let’s find it.

Pain is often the body’s way of telling us that something deeper needs attention.

Rather than simply masking symptoms, my approach focuses on:
• identifying the underlying cause
• reducing pain and inflammation
• improving movement and function
• supporting long-term recovery and wellbeing

Using acupuncture and targeted massage therapy, treatment is tailored to help your body heal, restore balance and move more freely again.

If you’re struggling with ongoing pain, stiffness or reduced mobility, there may be another way forward.

Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome - it's not just about cysts in your ovaries and sometimes people with the syndrome don't have any anyway - it affects way more than just your weight, fertility and hair growth patterns - it's a condition of significant metabolic imbalance - now officially re-named as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, or PMOS. (a process that has taken 14 years to achieve)

At last, the condition is being recognised for it's complexity and wide ranging symptom patterns, and the need for comprehensive management and treatment which addresses the wellbeing of the whole person.
