Luisa Whitlock Osteopath & Naturopath

Fully registered with 25 years of treating babies, pregnancy, sports injuries, back/neck pain, msk I may also use cranial osteopathy or acupuncture.

Osteopathy is a manual therapy focused on optimizing the body's function by keeping it's structure stable and balanced. Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and treat musculo-skeletal conditions. I look at treating the whole body to find the cause of the problem and not just treating the symptoms. Treatment can include soft tissue massage, joint mobilisations, stretching techniques and manipulation

to promote healing of the joints, muscles, ligaments and enhance the blood and nerve supply to an area.

❤️‍🩹 Healthy Habit of the Week #7

One of the simplest healthy habits? Eat what’s in season! 🍃

Right now-
🫐blackberries,
🍎apples,
🍈plums,
🍅tomatoes,
🫛beans,
🌽sweetcorn,
🫑peppers are all flourishing.

As we get older, dietary variety becomes increasingly important.

💪🏻 Eating plenty of different fruits and vegetables helps us get a broad range of nutrients and fibre to support gut health and overall wellbeing.

Let nature lead the way with all the tasty, nutritious foods on offer at the moment 🌈

❤️‍🩹 Healthy Habit of the Week #6

Who needs the gym when there’s a hosepipe ban? 😂💪🌿

Turns out watering the garden with cans is a full-body workout 😮‍💨
💧lifting
💧carrying
💧squatting
and plenty of steps! 👣👣

If you don’t have a garden (or have given up with it!) carrying the shopping can be turned into another work out 🏋🏼‍♀️

Just make sure you bend carefully and try to carry evenly 💪🏻💪🏻

Not even a volcanic eruption could stop me from coming back to work today 💪🏻🤣🌋

Sicily was amazing 🤩 but after a 2 day delay in getting home, I have no idea what day it is today 🙈😵‍💫

I will try to get back to anyone that has left me a message by the end of the day and hopefully normal service will resume 🤓

❤️‍🩹Healthy Habit of the Week #5

Walk & Talk

Sometime life gets busy and before you have time to say ‘let’s meet up during the holidays’ they are nearly over!

Catching up with a friend isn’t just about maintaining a social life; it is good for the soul ❤️

☕️ But instead of meeting for coffee this week, why not suggest a walk instead?

Walking together has so many benefits:
💚 Keeps you moving.
😊 Boosts your mood.
🧠 Helps reduce stress.
❤️ Supports heart and joint health.
👭 Gives you quality time to chat without distractions.

🚶🏻‍♀️ You don't have to walk for miles—even 20–30 minutes can make a real difference.
Sometimes the best conversations happen side by side, not across a table.

So this week, why not send that text, arrange a walk and enjoy some fresh air together 🤝

❤️‍🩹 Healthy Habit of the Week #4

Don't Skip Breakfast 🍳

🥱 School holidays often mean we are out of our normal routines and mornings can start a little later
It's easy therefore to skip breakfast altogether or grab something quick on the go.

But …. starting your day with a balanced breakfast can help to:
🌞 Boost your energy levels.
🥣 Keep you feeling fuller for longer.
🧠 Improve concentration and mood.
🚶 Fuel you for a day of sightseeing, walking or keeping up with the kids!

A good breakfast doesn't have to be complicated:
🍓 Greek yoghurt with berries and nuts.
🍞 Wholegrain toast with eggs.
🥣 Porridge topped with fruit.
🍌 A smoothie with fruit, yoghurt and protein.

🥞 Why not make breakfast more indulgent and have something you wouldn’t normally have like pancakes or smoked salmon and take your time to enjoy it 😋

Being out of routine doesn’t mean compromising on your health, in fact it’s a time to reset it 😊

✈️ Long journey ahead?

Hours spent in the car, on a plane or train can leave you feeling stiff before your holiday has even begun 😣

A few simple tips:
💺 Wiggle, fidget and change position regularly.
🙆🏻‍♀️ Stand up and stretch when you stop
💦 Keep a bottle of water handy to keep muscles and brain hydrated
📱 Avoid sitting on a bulky wallet or phone as this pushes pressure onto one side
🏝️ When you arrive, go for a gentle walk before collapsing on the sunbed!

Your mind and body will be grateful for the help 😎

Make resting an intentional part of your summer ☀️
