It’s getting to that time of year again when the light lasts for just a few minutes longer each day and everything seems to be waking up from the dark slumbers of winter.
Somehow this seems more appropriate than ever for the times in which we are living – and the whole country appears to be ready for a new wave of positivity. Vaccination numbers are up, Covid cases are down. There are rumours of summer holidays and schoolchildren being allowed back in the classroom.
Like most parents, I’m constantly amazed by the innocence of young children and how they can help you stay grounded, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
Oscar, the youngest addition to the Button family, has learned the word “horse” or “orse”, as he puts it, and lets us know every moment of the day – he even shouts it out in his sleep. It reminds me that, at Cleve Chiropractic, we treat local “orse” riders on a regular basis. I’m so pleased that the lovely riders have been allowed to carry on exercising their beautiful animals and we can still treat them when they fall off!
Despite all the falls, kicks, or bites they suffer, riders always seem capable of keeping a smile on their faces when it comes to the joy of caring for and riding their precious horses. I wonder if any of them will help me show Oscar a real “orse” one day? I hope so – and I can’t wait to see the look on his little face.
With the advent of spring comes the welcome arrival of two new faces at Cleve Chiropractic.
Dele Bamisaye is someone I know only too well as he used to be one of my patients. He worked as a radiotherapist in the NHS for 10 years before switching his focus to the private sector. As an athlete, Dele competed at a national level and saw the benefits that chiropractic had on his training, recovery and performance.
He’s taken that interest a step further by completing a chiropractic masters degree and the International Certificate in Sports Chiropractic (ICSC) qualification, which allows him to treat athletes at the highest level of their sport. Now Dele is ready to help you achieve your goals and fulfill your potential. His experience and expertise are just a phone call away.
I’m so pleased that Dele has agreed to come and take over Mike Jordan’s full-time duties, although Mike is staying on with us, working every other Saturday.
Our second newcomer is acupuncturist Jennie Abraham, who adds another important dimension to our health and fitness portfolio. Her skills can help with chronic and acute pain that you might suffer in your joints or muscles, or as a result of a sprain, for example.
Apart from assisting with general well-being, acupuncture can be beneficial for arthritis, headaches, and migraines, regulating the menstrual cycle and PMS, fertility, stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, IBS, and other digestive issues. It\’s also fantastic for helping to keep the body in balance to prevent illnesses and pain.
Finally, for this month, a reminder that Cleve Chiropractic remained open throughout the latest lockdown. We’re Covid safe and have all the necessary PPE and sanitization protocols in place.
Please stay safe and remember that we’re here to help whenever you need us.
