The Remedial Rooms

You’re not alone.

So many people avoid exercise because they’re worried it’ll make their pain worse. The truth is, the right movement can often be one of the most important parts of recovery.

That’s exactly why Serena has spent the last few months working on something new…

Launching soon at The Remedial Rooms. 👀

Keep your eyes peeled… something exciting is on its way. 💛

🧠 Myth Busting: Can a spinal problem cause every symptom on this chart?

The short answer: not quite.

Charts like this have been around for years and can be useful for understanding how the nervous system connects different parts of the body. However, they can sometimes give the impression that a single spinal issue is the direct cause of conditions such as asthma, digestive problems, high blood pressure or liver disease.

In reality, the body is much more complex.

This is exactly why Serena asks so many questions during your consultation (she’s not being nosy, we promise! 😅).

As osteopaths, we’re constantly trying to determine:
✔️ Is this symptom mechanical?
✔️ Could it be nerve-related?
✔️ Is there a systemic or medical cause?
✔️ Does this need further investigation or referral?

A painful shoulder isn’t always just a shoulder problem. Back pain isn’t always coming from the back. Equally, not every health condition can be explained by the spine.

The most important part of any appointment isn’t the treatment – it’s understanding the full picture first.

Good healthcare starts with asking the right questions. 💙

A Small Change to Online Booking ⬇️

Over the past few weeks, we have unfortunately seen an increase in last-minute cancellations and missed appointments. As a result, we have made a small change to our online booking system to help protect our practitioners’ time and ensure appointments remain available for those who need them.

All online bookings will now require a card to be added to your account when booking.

You will not be charged when making your booking. You can still pay by cash or card in clinic after your appointment, exactly as before.

The card details are simply there to secure your appointment. In accordance with our cancellation policy, appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments, may be charged the full appointment fee.

As a small independent clinic, every appointment matters. When appointments are missed or cancelled at short notice, it impacts our practitioners’ income and prevents other patients from accessing treatment.

We truly value and appreciate all of our patients who respect our cancellation policy and continue to support our team. Of course, we understand that genuine emergencies happen, and discretion will always be used where appropriate.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Serena, our osteopath, will be taking a well deserved break from the 2nd June – 15th June ☀️

If you’ve been struggling with:
• sciatica
• lower back or neck pain
• headaches & tension
• sports or gym injuries
• stiffness & reduced mobility
• shoulder or hip pain
• postural aches from work/lifestyle

now’s the perfect time to get yourself booked in ✨

Osteopathy isn’t just about “clicks” — sessions involve assessing movement, mobility, posture and helping you get to the root cause of what’s going on 🤍

And if you’re not quite sure whether osteopathy is right for you, make sure to make use of our FREE 10 minute phone consultation 📞

Appointments before Serena goes are already filling up, so don’t leave it until you’re in more discomfort 👀

Book online or drop us a message 📩

Something new may be coming to The Remedial Rooms… 👀✨

Serena, our osteopath, is currently completing her matwork Pilates course and we’re exploring the idea of introducing:

• 1:1 Pilates sessions
• Mobility & movement classes
• Osteopathy-led exercise sessions

These sessions would be designed to help build confidence in movement, improve mobility, support recovery and help you enjoy moving your body again 💚

They could also potentially be added onto your osteopathy treatment sessions to further support your recovery, rehabilitation and long-term movement goals.

At the moment this is just an idea, so we’d love to know if this is something you’d be interested in seeing at The Remedial Rooms.
