Kettering Osteopaths

08/09/2026

Last week, we attended a fascinating and thought-provoking evening hosted by the Academy of Physical Medicine, with GP and author Dr Malcolm Kendrick.

The talk explored statins, cholesterol, and the research and data behind the figures used when prescribing statins. Dr Kendrick shared facts, figures and stories, raising questions about how research data is presented and whether patients are always given a clear explanation of the potential risks and benefits before medication is prescribed.

He also shared some of the stories behind the headlines, giving us plenty of food for thought. Much of this subject is covered in his latest book, The Clot Thickens.
It was lovely to catch up with colleagues and take part in some high-quality continuing professional development.

As osteopaths, we are required to undertake ongoing postgraduate learning and professional development throughout our careers, building on our initial four- or five-year undergraduate training.💙

✔️ Muscle and joint aches
✔️ Sports injuries
✔️ Reduced joint mobility

Not sure if osteopathy could help?

🤔Not sure whether to see an osteopath or a physiotherapist?
There can be considerable overlap, including assessment, treatment and rehabilitation exercises.
👌The right choice may depend on your particular problem, whether exercises are currently appropriate and the approach offered by the individual practitioner.

Looking after your body doesn’t have to mean long workouts or complicated routines.
A few simple movements each day can help keep your joints mobile, your muscles flexible, and your body feeling its best.

Here are five easy movements to try:
🐈 Cat-Cow: Helps keep your spine moving and reduce stiffness.
🤗 Knee Hugs: Gently mobilise your hips and lower back.
🙌 Chest Opener: Helps counteract the effects of sitting and improves posture.
🌬️ Deep Breathing: Encourages relaxation and helps your chest and ribs move more freely.
🚶 A Daily Walk: Keeps your joints, muscles and circulation active while supporting your overall wellbeing.

💙Small, consistent habits can make a big difference over time.
If pain or stiffness is making movement difficult, osteopathy can help you move more comfortably and get back to doing the things you enjoy.

Remember, you can book your appoitment online anytime by visiting our website.

🎒Back to school means back to backpacks!

As the summer holidays come to an end, there’s plenty to think about… new uniforms, school shoes, PE kits and, of course, the school bag.
If your child has lots to carry to and from school, or between classrooms during the day, a few simple choices can help make their backpack more comfortable to carry:
📚 Choose a lightweight bag and try to avoid adding unnecessary extras, such as heavy toys or accessories.
📚 Look for wide, well-padded shoulder straps and adjust them so the backpack sits comfortably.
📚Choose a backpack with several compartments to help distribute the contents more evenly.
📚 Encourage children to use both shoulder straps, rather than carrying their backpack over one shoulder.
📚Pack heavier items closest to the back, with lighter items further away.

💙And it’s worth having a regular clear-out too. School bags have a habit of collecting things that don't need to be carried around every day!

A few small changes can help make a backpack more comfortable to carry day after day.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy start to the new school year!

👌You don’t always need specialist equipment to keep moving.

A simple water bottle can be a useful way to practise gentle shoulder mobility exercises at home.

⭐️In this video, we demonstrate a few easy movements that can help encourage shoulder mobility. Work within a comfortable range, move slowly and stop if you experience pain.

💙If you have ongoing shoulder pain, stiffness or reduced movement, it’s worth having it assessed so you can receive advice and exercises tailored to your individual needs.
