😬BACK CRACKING😬 A common misconception is that Osteopaths always crack your back or neck. This technique releases air from around the joints and creates an audible popping sound. This can release restrictions around the joint and can feel really good! But it’s not for everyone - and as osteopaths we are trained to treat each patient as an individual - catering our treatment plan specifically for them using a variety of different techniques. So if you don’t want to be ‘cracked’ just let us know! #hitchin #osteopathy #neckcracking #holistichealth #painprevention #backpain #neckpainrelief #migrainerelief #healinghands #hertfordshirebusiness #osteopathyworks #hertsbusiness #jointmanipulation #feelgoodfactor #muscuskeletalhealth #osteopathlife 
🧘♂️ACTIVE RECOVERY🧘 When you plan your exercise for the week do you allow for any active recovery? Active recovery involves less intense forms of movement - such as walking, foam rolling or swimming in between your higher energy workouts. This keeps your body moving whilst allowing your muscles vital time to rest and recover. Active recovery is also a great way to switch up your fitness routine, and helps create a really healthy, balanced programme which will allow you to get the maximum results from your training! #stretchy #shoulder #shoulderpain #gymwomen #backstretch #frozenshoulder #gyms #stretches #physio #physiotherapy #sciaticrelief #sportsmassagehitchin #shoulderstretch #hamstringstretch #backpains #backpainsucks #gympain #sciatica #hitchinclinic ##lowbackpain #hitchin #osteopath #shoulderrehab #gyminjury #stretched #restandrecovery #activerecovery #activerestday 
🧑🏽⚕️ WHY CHOOSE AN OSTEOPATH 🧑🏽⚕️ What works for you? Who supports your body better? Our bodies will all respond differently to different therapists’ approaches to injury or treatment. So it’s all about choosing someone who really resonates with you, who takes the time to understand your body and your lifestyle and who really makes you feel comfortable - the results will then speak for themselves. #sciaticrelief #postureig #hippain #good posture #jointpainrelief #painandgain #neckpainrelief #backpains #posturecorrection #painmanagement #osteoporosis #osteopath #lockdown #lowbackpain #painfree #wfh #painintheneck #posturecorrector #headaches #posturenecks #deskjob #neckpain #backpainsucks #osteopathy

❄️LIPOGLAZE ❄️ 🏃🏼♀️ Whilst we always advocate a healthy diet, regular exercise and plenty of movement, we also recognise that sometimes you can end up with stubborn areas of fat which are really difficult to shift. ❄️LipoGlaze® Cryolipolysis Fat Freezing is an effective form of treatment for those areas of fat that are hard to shift using traditional diet and exercise methods. It is a non invasive, targeted fat loss treatment which freezes fat cells eradicating on average, 33% of fatty tissue in just one session. If you think this might benefit you, speak to one of our team for some advice and for further information. #lipoglaze #fatfreezing #positivebody #cryolipolysis #hitchinclinic #fatlosstips #healthylifestyle #selfcaretips #hitchinbusinesses #hitchin #hertfordshirebusiness #bodypositivity #bodygoals #body 
🏋️♀️BACK TO THE GYM (AGAIN)🏋️♂️ Let’s ease ourselves back to the gym gently, there’s no rush - give your body time to adjust and you will soon be back feeling as strong as ever! 🥗 Good nutrition is vitally important to support your body especially if you are lifting weights. Focus on your protein intake to maximise muscle repair. 🏋️ Start light, your body won’t be ready to return to your previous personal best, give it time to build back to full strength #️⃣ Increasing reps before weight is wise to avoid injury (this is personal opinion, seek out a personal trainer if you are unsure where to start) 💪🦵Upper /lower body split- train your upper body and lower body separately to ensure you give yourself time to fully recover between sessions 😌 Trust the process, be patient, don’t rush your body! #gymagain #backtothegym #weighttraining #osteopathy #restandrecovery #musclerecovery #stretch #gymlifestyle #osteopathyworks #sportsmassage #hitchin #hermitageroadhitchin #trappednerve #neckcrack #hertfordshirebusiness #hitchinosteopath

🌺SPRING FORWARD🌺 Spring is a time where we see many injuries (and re-occurrences of old injuries) in our clinic due to that sudden rush to get out in the garden, to play that first round of golf or start a new exercise regime (this will be especially pertinent this year as lockdown gradually lifts) -Be mindful about yourself, and how you might feel after your activity, and the next day. -Change your activity often (weed for 15 minutes, mow the lawn for 15 mins, dig for 15 mins) and then rest for 15 minutes. -Always do a simple warm up to raise your body temperature (walking is fine). -Drink plenty of water. -Ice any known areas of concern and make sure you carry out any stretches you may have been taught in the past for your condition But mainly - don't over do it and seek advice if you start to feel any niggles or pain. 👩🌾🪴🌸🌷🏌️♂️🚶♀️🌺🪴👩🌾🚶♀️🏌️♂️ #backpain #gardeninginjuries #gardeninglife #gardeningproblems #lockdown2021 #springishere #golfinginjury #golfinginjuries #hitchinbusinesses #sportsmassagehitchin #hitchinclinic #hertfordshirebusiness #osteopathhitchin #hitchinosteopath #osteopathyforhealth #backpain #hermitageroadhitchin #hitchinliving #neckpaintreatment #lowerbackpain
