A lot of people ask me what the difference is between an osteopath, a physiotherapist and a chiropractor. There’s a few different answers to that question. Some people might talk about the theoretical differences between the underlying models and philosophies on which each therapy is based. That’s an interesting discussion, but not immediately relevant to […]
“I love running, but I’ve been told it’s bad for my knees. I keep thinking I should give it up.” This is something I hear often from my clients. The idea that running is bad for the joints, and that “low impact activities” are better for you, is a prevalent one. Even medical professionals sometimes […]
Olton Osteopathy has been operating from our premises on Kineton Green Road since 2016, and we’ve established ourselves as one of the finest practices in the area (our Testimonials bear this out!). But, we’ve always been about more than just Osteopathy, so late last year we realised we had a decision to make… Rosi and […]
It’s a common story. Often it starts when my patient was doing something strenuous, perhaps while playing sport or doing some kind of physical activity, or maybe lifting something heavy. “I felt something go pop, and then the pain came on. Does that mean I’ve torn something?” We’re not talking here about the kind of […]
Over the last couple of years, more of us than ever have started working from home (at least some of the time), and it’s a trend that looks like it’s here to stay. While there are definitely positive aspects to this – spending less time commuting, for example, or being able to have more flexible […]
“So, why did you become an osteopath?” This is the most common question I get asked by my patients; and it’s also the question I love answering the most. Every day when I leave clinic, I smile when I think about how much difference the gift of osteopathy has made to my patients’ lives. My […]
“The last person I saw, I felt like I barely had time to put my bag down.” I’m sometimes asked by patients why at Olton Osteopathy we allow a full hour for all our appointments. That’s unusual these days – many clinics restrict appointments to as little as 30 minutes. When I used to work […]
Many of my clients worry about their bad posture. I know this, because they often tell me about it before I even get as far as the physical examination. “I know my posture’s terrible”, they confess – in the same guilty way that someone might confess to their doctor that they eat too much fast […]
“Is there anything you can do for osteoarthritis? My doctor said it was just something I’d have to live with.” Osteoarthritis is a common condition, and it can be challenging to manage. In many cases there are things we can do to relieve the symptoms, and to help our patients stay active and keep doing […]
Hi folks, I just wanted to drop a line here for our readers who are regulars on Facebook to let you know about some changes we’re making to our FB accounts. My original FB business account is “Rosi Sexton – Osteopath”, which I’ve had since not long after I started practising in Manchester in 2010. […]
