Breath
Have you ever taken a deep breath to steady your nerves or calm yourself? Your breath is powerful; just a single deep breath can help change your focus or mood. Breathing is one of the few automatic processes in our bodies that we can have some control over. Breathing...
Women’s Health
After years of whispering in corners and secrecy, it seems like people are now talking much more openly about women’s health (to include people assigned female at birth). I am not sure why now, but I think it’s great. I am not a women’s health specialist and the...
Sleep
I suspect most of us underestimate sleep as a vital part of our wellbeing and also its importance in rehabilitation/convalescence, preferring to devote our energy to more marginal gains. We spend nearly one third of our lives asleep, why wouldn’t it be hugely...
Anti – Inflammatory Diet
“What you choose to put on your plate is the most important health intervention you can make." Dr Rupy Aujla @doctors_kitchen I think that diet, along with sleep, is an undervalued part of health and well-being. Although I think we all fundamentally know that we feel...
Behaviour Change
I find behaviour change fascinating. We assume we behave rationally which implies that if we know something is good for us, we’ll do it and, conversely, if we know something is bad for us, we won’t. If only it were that simple! In order to improve our health, we often...
Pain – The Patient Voice
There is so much to share about pain that I couldn’t fit it into a single post (click here for my post on Pain Science). In particular, there are so many great resources on persistent pain, I have found it virtually impossible to whittle them down. In this blog I have...
Persistent Pain
We see a lot of patients in clinic with persistent pain (pain which has lasted more than three months, also referred to as chronic pain). Often they have been in pain for years and cannot see a way for things to change. Understandably, they feel something in their...
Pelvic Floor
I am going to start with a pretty shocking statistic; one in three women and one in nine men wet themselves. Given the stigma and shame that accompany incontinence, it is likely that the figures are actually much higher. Somewhere between 1 in 10 and 1 in 20 people...
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones lose strength, making you more likely to break a bone (fracture) than the average adult. Not everyone who has osteoporosis breaks a bone. Whilst there are some risk factors that you cannot do anything about (such as getting...
Osteoarthritis
The word arthritis is used to describe pain, swelling and stiffness in a joint or joints. Arthritis isn’t a single condition and there are several different types. You can read about the main types of arthritis here. This blog is just about osteoarthritis. We used to...
Menopause
This is a subject very close to my heart. I started getting menopausal symptoms at the age of 40 and, more than 10 years later, I am still getting them and I am not even officially menopausal yet. For many people, it’s a long road and one that still isn’t talked about...

Do you want to be fitter and healthier?

Cloudy with a Chance of Pain
Can you predict the weather with your body? In a recent study looking at patients with a variety of painful conditions, it was found that damp and windy days with low pressure increased the chances of experiencing more pain than normal by about 20%.
Do you have a spare room full of unused exercise equipment?
