A busy Sunday this week spent at the UCO refreshing my clinical skills. Osteopaths aren’t all about bad backs, we are often the first point of contact for patients who come in with all manner of symptoms and we are trained to examine and assess all the body systems so we know when we need to refer on for further investigation.
Sunday was a great opportunity to delve a little deeper into the cardiac and respiratory systems as well as lots of revision on the cranial nerves and abdomen too. Full on but osteopaths are lovely people so a very nice day all round 😊

New PPE guidelines mean that we are sticking with masks in clinic but may not always have the gloves and aprons-hurray for cutting down on single use plastic!
I will be aiming to cut down as much as possible but am also very aware of new variants etc and that this may change-
So don’t be alarmed if I still cover up when you come in (it’s nothing personal 😉)

**MATTRESSES!**
A lovely time camping but waking up in my own bed this morning reminds me of the importance of a good mattress!

There are no hard and fast rules here, I don’t recommend a specific mattress to anyone as it is such an individual choice and preference. It really is good to try out several if you’re out and about (and a good lie down for a while if possible!), there are plenty of trial periods available from various manufacturers too so definitely worth looking into those.

This is really just a chance to ask ‘how old is your mattress and are you getting a good nights sleep?’

I love camping, but, ooh it was nice to have a real bed back 😊
