Easing ourselves back into the gym or other exercise routine

Figuring out how to start working out again after a long absence is a challenge most active people face at some point - be it post-injury, after a holiday break, or in this case, following a global health pandemic. With nationwide gym closures and collective stress levels through the roof, you can be forgiven for falling off your regular training routine and inevitably, the post-lockdown gym environment is going to look and feel different, and your body will have likely changed too. If you were impacted in any way by the pandemic, it’s perfectly normal to have lost some strength, [...]

Improve your mental health with Yoga therapy

Guest article from our yoga therapist, Sammie Mason. Mental health issues are common and sadly have been perpetuated further by the pandemic over the last year. NHS England state that 1 in 4 adults will experience at least one diagnosable mental health problem each year, with people from all walks of life being affected, at any point in their lives. Mental health problems can range from worries and stress that we all experience as part of everyday life to more serious longer term conditions. The most common mental health problems include depression and anxiety disorders such as generalised anxiety disorder, [...]

Meet the therapist – Charles Innes

Why did you want to be a homeopathic doctor? I got ill soon after medical school and after being failed by my own field, medicine, looked elsewhere. It was called Fringe medicine back then and made as much, or more sense than what I was practicing. I retrained eventually in homeopathy then herbalism and healing. I was in time for the surge in popularity in the late 90's when was running a big clinic from which I learned that I do not enjoy the limelight or being the boss. What do you enjoy about it? It teaches you the truth, [...]

How to overcome a fear of injections

When the announcement came that there was a vaccine that could protect us from Covid-19, the whole country felt a surge of joy – finally, a way out of this pandemic. But for those people who hate, or have a phobia of needles and injections, that joy was immediately followed by a burst of anxiety! ‘Can I avoid having the vaccine?’ ‘How am I going to cope?’ ‘How can I get over this fear?’ might be just a few of the thoughts that went through your mind if you are one of these people. The answers would be that it’s [...]

Meet the therapist – Alison Gatt, nutritionalist

Why did you want to be a nutritional therapist? I became fascinated about nutrition when I personally experienced the healing powers of food on health. I realised that one size doesn’t fit all. That was turning point in my interest. I suddenly wanted to show and help others that they too could support their own health by eating the foods suited to them as an individual. What do you enjoy most about it? Oh the list is endless… Changing people’s lives by giving them the control of what they eat. Seeing people regain their energy and that ‘umph’ to enjoy [...]

Honey & turmeric; associated health benefits

You may be aware of the beneficial effects of including honey in our diet and you may have also noticed the number of turmeric products that are now hitting the shelves of the health food stores – but have you ever thought about combining them? A homemade drink known as ‘Golden Milk’, has been taking on quite a following due to its anti-inflammatory properties, which have been seen to reduce the effects of rheumatoid arthritis and other such conditions. Indian spices have long been used as a medicine but you may be surprised to read that raw honey and curcumin, [...]

Having spent over a year getting nowhere with a chiropractor I was delighted to get immediate pain relief and start a sustained road to recovery from the team at Maris.

I have been seeing Hannah McCrudden for cranial osteopathy for some years now but I recently experienced her osteopathic facial massage treatment which was completely new and wonderful. It is a real workout for the face which it normally never receives as we mostly focus on work outs for our bodies. Hannah's knowledge and expertise manipulated my face from the inside out which left me feeling as if I literally had more space behind my face. At the end of the session I felt a bit spaced out but the habitual tension behind my nose was lifted and I looked more relaxed and smoothed out. Three days later I still felt and looked ' smoothed out ' This treatment is very different to a usual beauty massage and feels much more profound. Another magical treatment from Hannah at the continually brilliant Maris Practice.

I had acupuncture with Angelina. The session was very relaxing and helpful for my shoulder pain. Angelina explained to me the techniques she was using and spent time getting to know how she could help me. I felt very comfortable and will be returning for some more session as I feel very good after my session.

Having visited the Maris Practice for their breast-feeding drop in sessions, we decided to take our son to see Gus to help solve sleeping issues relating to silent reflux when he was an infant - she was so kind and lovely with him and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a cranial osteopath.Since then, both myself and my partner have seen Andrew for our own osteopathy needs and have recommended him to a number of friends - he is a wonderful osteopath and is really good at explaining what he's doing and why.I wouldn't go anywhere else because I feel completely comfortable and safe seeing Andrew or Gus

Highly recommend Andrew for any back, neck (or other body issues). Ran without pain for the first time in 4 years, which speaks for itself

I’ve been having Yoga Therapy sessions with Sammie and cannot recommend highly enough. She made a difference after just one session and gave me tailored practice for home which also help (without being difficult to fit into a busy week!). All that and the space itself is lovely, Covid safe, and a pleasure to be in.

Over the past 6 months, I have visited the clinic 3 times (pre and post Covid) due to my back problem. Every time, I walked in with mega pain and walk out feeling like l a new person. I have seen Andrew, Gus & Claire all 3 simply amazing & gifted. Carol

I have been seeing Jessica Busen-smith for some years at the Maris practice. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is amazing and I have nick named her magic hands!Since the pandemic I feel very safe going back for treatment as they have implemented all of the safety procedures that the government have put in place. I thought it might be odd but I've got used to wearing a mask. On a final plus they have had a refurb so the rooms are newly painted, new flooring etc and it looks great.

I attended the practice for a tapping group session for food cravings. I was quite skeptical when I went as I couldn’t understand how tapping on your face and head could help with a craving... but it did. Louise also emailed us some guides so we could have all the information from the session.Staff at the practice were very professional and the practice itself was easy to find and only a short walk from Twickenham station.

Thank you so much to the Maris Practice for all your help. I was so worried about my daughters back after a bad fall. Claire treated her and was amazing. So tentative, very professional and clearly gifted in her ability to heal people. I can thoroughly recommend Claire and the practice.

Can't reccomend highly enough. I have been seeing Hannah McCrudden throughout my pregnancy and it has been a godsend. She is knowledgeable, soothing, and (most importantly) extremely good at her job. I always come out feeling better and she's helped with issues from joint and back pain to difficulties breathing. Not only in terms of the work that she has done with my body (which is SO relaxing and always a highlight of my fortnight!) but also the advice she's given on really simple exercises to pick up. The latter is particularly welcome as often it can be overwhelming to take home exercises to do in between, but this is the first time I've seen someone who's successfully encouraged me to do things that slot almost effortlessly into everyday life. The practice is so well run and seems to hire the best people. There are loads of other interesting initiaitves and talks there and all well worth checking out.
