Osteopathic clinic re-opening on Tuesday 26th May
We hope you are well and coping with the current restrictions. Following the Government advice, we will be re-opening The White Practice doors from Tuesday 26th May, with new safety measures put in place. Our Osteopaths will be equipped with the necessary PPE (personal protective equipment), for the safety of both you and your Osteopath.
These are the measures we have put in place to keep you safe: -
Covid 19 - Guidance and Protocol to reduce the risk of transmission

Please arrive no earlier than 5 minutes prior to your appointment time, preferably alone, to minimise contact in the waiting room.
Please use the hand sanitiser provided in the waiting room.
We would prefer contactless; BACS or apple pay payment.
Please use disposable mask provided on entering the clinic or bring your own if you have one.
Surfaces will be disinfected before and after each appointment.
Please note in order to minimise the number of people in the clinic at one time, we have a remote receptionist. Please continue to call us on 01453 832515 if you have any queries.
Please leave unnecessary items in the car.
We have left space between appointments to clean the clinic between patients so please do not arrive early for your booked time in order for us to carry out the thorough cleaning.
You are welcome to bring your own towel to cover the pillow if required.
If you or anyone you live with has tested positive for COVID-19 or experienced any symptoms within the last 14 days, please do not attend and contact us to reschedule your appointment.

Please note The White Practice is a controlled clinical area, therefore entry to the practice is by appointment only.

If you do have any questions, please do contact enquiries@thewhitepractice.co.uk and we will be happy to help you.

Nick's health tips - February 2020

Nick's healthy lifestyle tips

Life seems to get busier each year with less and less time to spend on exercise. As well as my usual 3 days a week treating humans, I am now spending 1-2 days a week treating horses so the 'spare time' I used to have has diminished and I'm having to find new ways to keep supple and fit. "Exercise snacking" is not a new concept but studies show that several short bursts of exercise can be as effective as a prolonged workout. So in between patients I often go through a quick exercise routine - simple body weight exercises that require no equipment is the key. Focusing on balancing - flexibility, co-ordination, strength, cardiovascular. Simple exercises such as running on the spot, lunges, star jumps, plank always emphasising really good form as priority.

If the above feels too much, then just try to increase the activity in your lifestyle - recent research demonstrates that “non-exercise activity thermogenesis” (activity we take when not exercising) is actually more important for overall health and longevity than working out. So get active - walk rather than driving, use stairs rather than a lift, cycle to work once a week. Benefits of increasing your activity levels are not just weight loss, it affects your whole health improving your heart and lung function, digestion and even benefits sleep and mental health.
