The understanding of the relationship between INFLAMMATION & DEPRESSION is increasing, & evidence is growing to suggest that low grade inflammation may play a role in the development of depression.This is why moving over from a Pro-inflammatory diet (a diet high in inflammatory foods), to an anti-inflammatory diet, can be a game changer in long term health, inflammation & mood.A significant part of this is the increased release of Pro inflammatory cytokines (small cells which responsible for signalling changes in the body including hormonal!). These appear to cause a PROLONGED INCREASE in CORTISOL secretion. This is HUGE & SUPER important to us. So if we have low level inflammation from eating inflammatory foods & being under chronic daily stress. Then this means we have more cortisol *stress hormone* accumulating in our body. This further drives our continued stress response, & affects the area in our brain responsible for hormone balance, metabolism & mood. We can enter perimenopause early, find ourselves with higher levels of anxiety, stress & depression. Our immune system is lowered, & our body less resilient. It also affects our ability to build muscle & burn fat appropriately. So we need to ensure we bring daily enjoyable exercise & movement into our lives. Walking, weight training, pilates, yoga & HIIT training can all be fantastic for lowering stress & inflammation. FOOD WISE... The Mediterranean Diet has been highly evidenced to provide the best possible natural source of anti inflammatory foods (Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, oily fish) & shown to reduce the risk for depression, plus helps the gut microbiome health & diversity too!Inflammatory foods activate inflammation in the body include red & processed meats, saturated fats, white refined bread /pasta, processed foods & high sugar. On a positive note:Did you know coffee is anti-inflammatory? ☕💕So no need to stop your morning cappuccino! 😁#depression #coffeelover #mood #hormones #hormonebalance #inflammationdiet #microbiome #loveyourbody #stress #walking #gymbunny #pilates #perimenopause #healthylifestyle ...

Yup. True story.Did you know that how you move through your big toe can make the difference in how your whole body moves (or doesn't move!)?We need the right amount of movement through the big toe to achieve the right amount of 'toe off' as we move through the gait cycle in walking, and in running.Any issues and restrictions here will cause compensations through the whole body to achieve the same power (where possible)..Therefore, if you have BIG TOE PROBLEMS, then over time, walking, and especially running, the issues will start to raise their head!We will test and assess for this, and of course treat it, fix it. Interestingly we find issues with this joint being SIGNIFICANT in Pelvic Girdle Pain #PGP in pregnancy.If you can't move through your big toe properly, then the midfoot and ankle have to change their load to accommodate, this can cause achilles pain, calf issues, and shin splints, the knee, hip, lower back and pelvis then all have to alter and change the way they load through walking or running. Over time, these areas will just get FED UP of accommodating, and having to move differently, or too much, to deal with the big toe issues! It even causes the head and upper back to move differently when you run and walk. Honestly, the whole body! So if you've had bunions, bunions surgery, or any other significant issues with your feet, or simply something like an ankle injury in the past, even a *stubbed toe*, or wearing a lot of high heels... These can all affect our poor big toe.So come and get your gait assessed, your big toe, foot, knee, hip, pelvis... We will check your whole body to get you fixed and out of pain.#bigtoe #bunions #pgpistreatable #running #shinsplints #kneepain #achillestendonitis #rehab #prehab #fixyourgait #walking #couchto5k #painfree ...

Good morning from Jo 👋🏻I'm back in clinic today, and definitely missing the relaxation, reading, sunshine and cocktails of Crete!It's been many many years since we have been abroad, and we finally made it.Today is a post of reflection... I am super excited to be getting back to real life, and no longer having to wear a mask for work. I have so missed seeing your smiles. 😁It has been a ridiculously LONNNNNG 2+ years of wearing a ton of plastic, and masks. At one point we were even wearing visors over our masks with aprons and gloves. It was hot, sweaty & quite uncomfortable at times. But it meant we could continue to work as key workers & help you all throughout the entire pandemic.I am so proud of my amazing team for working so hard & so amazingly throughout this time. The changes in rules, screening, forms, symptoms, vaccinations, PPE & restrictions were almost happening on a daily basis. Our osteopaths had to deal with so many issues & questions, & uncertainty. They have all been so so incredible. I really feel I have the best team in the world, & I love you all. 💕Thank you for your resilience and positivity, throughout *hopefully* the hardest time we will have to encounter for a while.I also need to say a HUGGGGGE thank you to all of our amazing clients and patients. And especially to the awesome local community of practitioners, #pilates teachers, #doulas #midwives & PTs, who support us & help us strive to support as many local people as possible. To all of you.... The people who have shown loyalty & positivity. You have been incredible. We cannot put it into words how much your support & recommendations mean to us.From the bottom of my heart. Thank you.🙏🏻💜#greece #lovemyjob #dreamteam #happy #reflection #womensupportingwomen #womenshealth #supportlocal #stalbansmums ... See MoreSee Less
