The Rising Role of Osteopathy in Sports

In the fast-paced world of sports, athletes are continually seeking ways to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and expedite recovery. One therapeutic approach which continues to gain significant traction is Osteopathy.

Its holistic nature makes it particularly appealing in the athletic community.

Nourishing Balance: Understanding the impact of how Nutrition impacts on Women’s Hormones

The intricate dance of hormones within a woman's body plays a crucial role in her overall well-being, from mood swings to fertility and beyond. While hormonal fluctuations are a natural part of life, nutrition can profoundly influence their balance, offering women a pathway to optimise their hormonal health naturally. One of the most critical aspects of supporting hormonal balance through nutrition is maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Consuming complex carbohydrates, fibre-rich foods, and healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar, preventing insulin spikes and crashes that can disrupt hormone production. Incorporating whole grains, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and proteins into meals [...]

Rejuvenate Your Radiance: Unlocking the benefits of Natural Facial Treatments

The profound impact that manual therapies can have on our overall health is often overlooked, underrated or mis-understood. This frequently includes the realm of facial care treatments.

Natural treatments, such has Osteopathic Facial Massage (OFM) and Facial Rejuvenating Acupuncture or massage are rooted in Osteopathic or ancient Chinese acupuncture principles and focus on releasing tension, improving circulation, and restoring balance to the intricate network of muscles in the face and neck. Unlike many cosmetic facials that merely address surface-level concerns, these [...]

Using Paediatric acupuncture to support ADHD and ASD treatment

Hello, my name is Angelina He, and I am a paediatric acupuncturist working at The Maris Practice. I have a great interest in helping children with ADHD and ASD conditions. As a mum of a teenager and have previously worked with children, those experiences gave me better understanding about how stressful and exhausted the parents be if their child is unwell or in a chronic health condition. It is the main reason for me to become a paediatric acupuncturist which equipped me to help children physically. Treating ADHD and ASD children is incredibly rewarding - once they become more settled, [...]

From skeptic to convert. I had gone to see Claire about a back problem and in the course of the appointment she suggested I try cranial therapy. I was unsure about the merits of cranial osteopathy but Claire’s care and work has done nothing less than changed my life for the better. I have gone from struggling through months of lethargy to having a complete new lease of life. Fantastic traditional osteopath as well. Andrew is also a miracle worker when it comes to osteopathic medicine. Can not recommend this practice enough.

I highly recommend Angelina He. She is an excellent acupuncturist who listens carefully, giving time to establish best treatment. I attended following a recent period of stress and re-occurring infections. I began to feel better after the first treatment. Having made a further appointment, I will continue to see Angelina. She most certainly treats the whole person and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. The improvement is subtle and lasting.

I have been attending osteopathy for a number of year due my accumulation of injuries from a very physically active lifestyle. I had been attending osteopathy every 2 weeks and although i was improving it was relatively slowly and by the next session i was crawling back through the door.
I was recommended Andrew by one of his colleagues at the practice and from the first session his knowledge and experience was clear. I have had much improvement since and now only attend once every 6 weeks! Also puts you at great ease and can make for an interesting conversation throughout the session.

Highly recommend
