Ageing is Inevitable, the Decline is Optional.

Let’s be clear: ageing is something none of us can escape. But becoming a stiff, creaky, pain-ridden version of yourself? That’s not a mandatory part of the journey.

"I was very pleased with my appointment. Rosie explained everything in great detail and sent me an exercise plan the same day. She also did a great massage of my knee."

Come and unwind with me after a long day in clinic🧘‍♀️

It’s important to recognise when it’s time to slow down.

One of things I’ve learnt this year is that I’m not invincible. Stress takes a toll if you don’t look after yourself.

I find taking 5 minutes after a long day helps me stay grounded and slightly feel like ‘I’ve got my life together’. It helps me wind down for the night.

If you’re struggling with stress or feel like your mind won’t switch off, try these.

Shut your eyes, take a few slow deep breaths and focus on grounding yourself.
