The Choices That Matter Most

This week, it’s been difficult to avoid the hype and speculation around the US election. It’s easy to get swept up in the news cycle and feel anxious about what’s to come.

While the election results will undoubtedly have far-reaching consequences, it’s important to remember that the most significant impact on our lives comes not from politics, but from our own health
and well-being.

In the end, it’s our day-to-day choices that shape the quality of our lives—not the outcome of a presidential race in a distant country.

The good news? Much of our health is within our control. By making small, positive changes and sticking with them consistently, we can improve our well-being in meaningful ways. Here are a few simple actions to consider:

1. Go to bed 30 minutes earlier

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and cut back on processed foods

3. Reduce screen time, especially before bed

4. Pick up a good book instead of scrolling through social media

5. Spend time in nature

6. Reconnect with a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while

7. Start (or progress) a resistance training routine

8. Sit down regularly with your family for dinner

9. Show appreciation to the people around you

10. Take a walk during your lunch break

Remember: the key is consistency. Small actions, repeated over time, can lead to powerful results.

Take control of your health—your future self will thank you.

Why We Should Prioritise Our Health: A Thought Experiment

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the importance of our health. We often get caught up in the pursuit of wealth, success, and social status, sometimes at the expense of our well-being. To illustrate the value of health over material wealth, let’s engage in a thought experiment.

Imagine This Scenario

You’re offered a choice: a lump sum of £1,000,000, but there’s a catch. In return for this fortune, you must endure a sore, scratchy throat that makes swallowing uncomfortable for the rest of your life.

At first glance, £1 million seems like an incredible opportunity. You could travel, buy a home, and provide for your loved ones. But as you sit with this choice, consider the implications of living with a constant irritation in your throat. How would it affect your daily life?

The Daily Struggles

Imagine waking up every morning with that scratchy sensation. Simple pleasures—enjoying a cup of tea, savouring a delicious meal, or even speaking freely—would be tainted by discomfort. You might avoid social gatherings because eating or drinking would be painful. Every meal could become a chore rather than a joy.

Now, think about the toll this discomfort would take on your mental health. Anxiety, frustration, and sadness could creep in as you grapple with your new reality. Relationships may strain as you withdraw from social interactions to manage your discomfort.

Health as True Wealth

This thought experiment highlights a crucial truth: health is our most valuable asset. Consider what it means to live without pain or discomfort. Being able to enjoy life’s simple pleasures—sharing meals with loved ones, speaking freely, or even just feeling physically comfortable—is priceless.

Good health allows us to pursue our passions, engage in activities we love, and maintain fulfilling relationships. It enables us to work towards our goals without the burden of constant pain. When we prioritise our health, we unlock a quality of life that money alone cannot buy.

Making Health a Priority

So, how can we prioritise our health? Here are a few actionable steps:

  1. Focus on Nutrition: Fuel your body with wholesome, nutritious foods. This will provide the energy and vitality you need to thrive.
  2. Stay Active: Regular physical activity is essential for both physical and mental well-being. Find activities you enjoy to make it a sustainable habit.
  3. Practice Mindfulness: Stress can take a toll on your health. Incorporating mindfulness practices, such as meditation or yoga, can help manage stress and improve mental clarity.
  4. Get Regular Check-Ups: Preventive healthcare is vital. Regular check-ups can catch potential issues early, helping you maintain good health over the long term.
  5. Prioritise Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for overall health. Aim for 7-9 hours of restful sleep each night to support your physical and mental well-being.

Conclusion

As you reflect on this thought experiment, consider what you truly value. Health should be at the forefront of your priorities. While money can enhance certain aspects of life, it pales in comparison to the gift of a functioning, pain-free body. Choose to invest in your health, and in turn, enrich your life in ways that wealth alone cannot achieve. After all, the greatest riches are often found in our well-being and the experiences that come with it.

Books To Transform Your Health

In the quest to be healthier, and all the benefits that come with it, there are some great books out there that can truly transform the quality of our lives – if we implement their advice. Below are nine of my most frequently recommended books, covering a wide variety of topics that directly or indirectly can revolutionise your health.


1. Why We Sleep – Matthew Walker  

Matthew Walker’s Why We Sleep serves as a passionate call to recognise the importance of sleep in our lives. As someone who has always cherished sleep yet felt guilty about it, I found a refreshing perspective in this book. It underscores that adequate sleep is vital for health, reducing the risks of ailments ranging from Alzheimer’s to cancer and heart disease. Since reading this, I have made a conscious effort to prioritise sleep, without a shred of guilt.

Key Messages:

  1. Importance of Sleep: Sleep is crucial for overall health, cognitive function, emotional stability, and physical performance.
  2. Sleep Stages: Different sleep stages, such as REM and deep sleep, are essential for memory consolidation and emotional regulation.
  3. Health Risks: Chronic sleep deprivation is associated with numerous health issues, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.
  4. Cultural Attitudes: Society often undervalues sleep, leading to widespread deprivation with serious consequences.
  5. Practical Strategies: Walker provides actionable tips for improving sleep quality, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and minimising screen time before bed.
  6. Mental Health: Quality sleep plays a significant role in mental health, helping to mitigate anxiety and depression.

These insights highlight the critical role of sleep in every aspect of our lives, advocating for its prioritisation.


2. The One Thing – Gary Keller

In The One Thing, Gary Keller emphasises the power of focusing on what truly matters. This book has profoundly influenced how I approach my tasks. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by numerous responsibilities, I learned to identify and concentrate on the single most important task, leading to greater productivity and success.

Key Messages:

  1. Focus on What Matters: Concentrating on the most important task can drive productivity and success.
  2. The Focusing Question: Asking, “What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?” helps prioritise efforts.
  3. Time Blocking: Setting aside specific times for your most important tasks enhances focus and minimises distractions.
  4. The Domino Effect: Small, consistent actions can lead to significant results over time.
  5. Work-Life Balance: True balance comes from focusing your time and energy on what matters most.
  6. Overcoming Obstacles: Managing distractions is crucial to maintaining focus.

These principles encourage readers to streamline their efforts and achieve extraordinary results by honing in on their priorities.

As an example of this newfound focus, I started resistance training last year. Initially, I was overwhelmed by various training methods and spent hours researching. After reading The One Thing, I committed to one program, Bigger Leaner Stronger (see below), and adhered to its advice. This decision not only transformed my physique but also saved me countless hours of unnecessary research.


3. Bigger Leaner Stronger – Michael Matthews

Bigger Leaner Stronger presents a straightforward, scientifically validated approach to building muscle. It highlights the benefits of increased muscle mass, which contributes to better health and longevity.

Key Messages:

  1. Simplicity in Fitness: Effective fitness and nutrition need not be complicated; straightforward principles yield significant results.
  2. Strength Training Importance: Building muscle through strength training is crucial for achieving a lean physique and improving overall health.
  3. Balanced Nutrition: Proper nutrition is vital for muscle growth and fat loss, focusing on macronutrient balance.
  4. Consistency Over Perfection: Long-term success relies on consistent effort rather than striving for perfection.
  5. Mindset Matters: A strong mindset is essential for overcoming challenges in fitness.
  6. Tailored Approach: Personalised strategies are key, as everyone’s body responds differently.

These messages encourage readers to adopt a practical and sustainable approach to fitness and body transformation.


4. Breath – James Nestor

In Breath, James Nestor explores the vital role of breathing in our physical and mental well-being. As someone who successfully used a breathing retraining program for asthma (Buteyko), I understand the transformative power of proper breathing.

Key Messages:

  1. Importance of Breath: Proper breathing is fundamental for health, impacting performance and emotional well-being.
  2. Nasal Breathing: Breathing through the nose offers benefits like improved air filtration and oxygen uptake.
  3. Breathing Techniques: Techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing can reduce stress and enhance focus.
  4. Cultural Practices: Various cultures emphasise breath in practices like yoga and meditation.
  5. Modern Breathing Issues: Many suffer from poor breathing habits due to lifestyle changes, leading to health issues.
  6. Scientific Insights: Nestor combines personal experiences with research to show how better breathing can yield profound health benefits.

These insights encourage readers to reevaluate their breathing habits and recognise its powerful impact. If you are suffering from asthma or other breathing disorder I would also recommend ‘Close Your Mouth’ by Patrick McKeown.


5. Zero Bullsh*t Meditation – Vishen Lakhiani

Vishen Lakhiani’s Zero Bullsht Meditation* presents a practical approach to meditation that emphasises simplicity and effectiveness.

Key Messages:

  1. Simplicity in Meditation: Effective meditation can be straightforward, leading to substantial benefits.
  2. Personalisation: Tailoring meditation practices to fit individual needs enhances engagement.
  3. Focus on Results: Meditation should aim for tangible outcomes, like reduced stress and increased creativity.
  4. Integration with Daily Life: Incorporating meditation into daily routines improves overall well-being.
  5. Challenging Traditional Views: Lakhiani encourages questioning conventional practices to find what works best for the individual.

I liked the approach used in this book because it was straightforward and felt enjoyable to do.  For instance, one of the six phases, “A Vision for Your Future,” involves visualising your life three years ahead, allowing you to see yourself achieving your goals. It’s simple yet powerful.


6. Are You Ready to Succeed? – Srikumar Rao

Srikumar Rao’s Are You Ready to Succeed? delves into how our mental models shape our experiences. It is beautifully written, filled with sage advice and timeless philosophical concepts but made relevant for modern lives. Having read ‘Are You Ready to Succeed?’ I immediately purchased another book by the author called ‘Modern Wisdom, Ancient Roots’ which is equally impactful.

Key Messages:

  1. Mindset Over Goals: Success is more about cultivating a positive mindset than achieving specific goals.
  2. Embracing Uncertainty: Accepting life’s unpredictability can foster resilience.
  3. Inner Fulfillment: True success comes from understanding one’s purpose rather than external achievements.
  4. Personal Responsibility: Owning your thoughts empowers you to shape your reality.
  5. Practice Gratitude: Focusing on gratitude enhances well-being.
  6. Learning from Setbacks: Viewing challenges as growth opportunities is essential for development.

These insights encourage readers to redefine success and embrace a more holistic life perspective.


7. The Back Pain Recovery Plan – Shane Morris

Putting my own book may be a bit cheeky but I know the profound impact of back pain on quality of life. In The Back Pain Recovery Plan, I share my insights on creating a clear recovery strategy. I have seen many times over how creating a clear plan, and implementing it, can transform the quality of life for those suffering from back pain, even those who have been suffering for a long time.

Key Messages:

  1. Holistic Approach: Recovery must address physical, mental, and emotional aspects.
  2. Personalised Programs: Tailored recovery plans are essential for lasting results.

  6. Mind-Body Connection: Acknowledging the link between physical and mental well-being is vital.

These principles encourage a proactive and informed approach to managing back pain.


8. Dopamine Nation – Dr. Anna Lembke

In our modern world we are over stimulated, especially by our phones and social media. This book explores the profound implications this can have for our well being and provides insights on finding more balance and meaning in life

Key Messages:

  1. Dopamine and Pleasure: The book explains how dopamine is the brain’s chemical associated with pleasure and reward, driving our desires and behaviours.
  2. Addiction and Overstimulation: Lembke discusses how modern society’s access to instant gratification—through technology, substances, and social media—can lead to overstimulation, addiction, and a depletion of pleasure.
  3. The Pleasure-Pain Balance: She emphasises the need to maintain a balance between pleasure and pain, suggesting that too much pleasure can lead to pain in the long run.
  4. The Role of Self-Regulation: The importance of self-regulation and setting boundaries is highlighted, as these are essential for achieving long-term fulfillment and mental health.
  5. Finding Meaning: Lembke argues that true fulfillment comes from meaningful activities and connections, rather than transient pleasures.
  6. Recovery and Resilience: The book provides insights into recovery from addiction, emphasizing the importance of understanding one’s relationship with dopamine and making conscious choices.
  7. Practical Strategies: Lembke offers practical strategies for managing dopamine levels, including digital detoxes, mindfulness, and fostering real-life connections.

These insights encourage readers to harness the power of consistent, small actions to create lasting change.


9. The Compound Effect – Darren Hardy

Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect illustrates how small, daily choices can lead to significant life changes over time. This concept is especially relevant when it comes to our health. It does not always seem like our daily choices make a big difference but when multiplied across the expanse of time the effects are dramatic.

Key Messages:

  1. Small Choices Matter: Tiny daily decisions can lead to significant outcomes.
  2. Consistency is Key: Regularly applying positive habits is essential for long-term success.
  3. Taking Responsibility: Individuals must own their choices to shape their destinies.
  4. Tracking Progress: Monitoring habits aids motivation and accountability.

Osteopathy, Physiotherapy or Chiropractic

Osteopaths, physiotherapists and chiropractors often treat similar types of conditions. So, if you are in Leytonstone with back pain or in Leyton with neck pain you have options when it comes to your treatment; the key is to find the right therapist for you.

Osteopathy take a ‘holistic’ approach, often treating related areas away from the site of injury. We also assess ongoing postural and mechanical problems people have and how these may be feeding into the problem. Factors such as lifestyle, job and exercise are considered and incorporated into the treatment plan.

Osteopathy treatments are typically 30 – 45 minutes and involve soft-tissue massage and joint articulation & manipulation.

Physiotherapists traditionally work with injuries and rehabilitation, mainly dealing with muscles and ligaments. Treatments combine ‘hands-on’ muscle manipulation work with the use of technical equipment (such as ultrasound), plus exercise prescription.

Chiropractors focus their treatment mostly on the spine. A chiropractor uses manipulation, or to use their terminology, ‘chiropractic adjustment’ as their main treatment modality. An appointment with a chiropractor is typically shorter than an osteopathy or physiotherapy appointment.

What Does an Osteopath Treat?

1. Introduction

As healthcare professionals, osteopaths specialise in diagnosing, treating, and preventing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. These include issues related to the bones, muscles, ligaments, joints, and connective tissues of the body. Osteopaths take a holistic approach to patient care, considering not just the primary symptoms but also the underlying causes and contributing factors. By addressing the root cause of a patient’s symptoms, osteopaths can provide effective and long-lasting relief. In this blog post, we will explore the various conditions that osteopaths treat and how their unique approach can benefit patients.

2. The role of an osteopath in healthcare

Osteopaths play a crucial role in the healthcare industry by providing comprehensive and holistic care to patients. Osteopaths go beyond simply treating symptoms; they aim to address the underlying causes and contributing factors of a patient’s condition.

By taking a holistic approach to patient care, osteopaths consider the interconnectedness of the body systems and focus on improving overall wellbeing. This integrative approach allows them to not only alleviate pain and discomfort but also enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.

Osteopaths treat a wide range of conditions, including back and neck pain, joint pain, muscle strains and sprains, sports injuries, arthritis and
postural problems. They use various treatment techniques, such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue manipulation, stretching, and exercise prescription, to help restore balance and function to the body.

Overall, osteopaths play a crucial role in helping patients achieve optimal musculoskeletal health and improve their overall quality of life.

3. Common conditions treated by osteopaths

Osteopaths are skilled healthcare professionals who are trained to effectively diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. They are equipped to handle various cases, from common conditions to more complex ones.

One common condition that osteopaths frequently treat is back and neck pain. Whether it is caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or spinal misalignment, osteopaths employ a range of techniques to alleviate pain and improve function. By addressing the underlying issues contributing to the pain, they aim to provide long-term relief.

Osteopaths also specialise in treating joint pain, which can result from conditions such as osteoarthritis or sports injuries. Through joint mobilisation and manipulation techniques, they help restore joint function and reduce pain.

Muscle strains and sprains are another common ailment that osteopaths treat. By utilising soft tissue manipulation and prescribing suitable exercises, they aid in the healing process and help patients regain full range of motion.

Additionally, osteopaths are skilled in managing postural problems. They can assess and diagnose postural imbalances, and then use various techniques and exercises to correct them. By improving posture, patients can experience relief from associated musculoskeletal issues and enhance their overall wellbeing.

These are just a few examples of the common conditions that osteopaths treat. Their expertise allows them to address a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, ultimately helping patients achieve optimal health and improve their quality of life.

4. Holistic approach to treatment

Osteopaths take a holistic approach to treatment, considering the interconnectedness of the body and how one area can affect another. They understand that musculoskeletal conditions often have underlying causes that may require a comprehensive approach to address.

Osteopaths may incorporate various treatment modalities to enhance the healing process. For instance, they may recommend specific exercises or stretches to strengthen weak muscles, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries. They may also provide advice on ergonomics and lifestyle modifications that can support the healing process and promote long-term musculoskeletal health.

In addition to physical treatments, osteopaths may also offer guidance on nutrition and stress management. They recognise that factors such as diet and stress levels can have a significant impact on the body’s ability to heal and maintain optimal health. By addressing these aspects, osteopaths aim to support the body’s healing capacity and enhance overall wellbeing.

By taking a holistic approach, osteopaths not only treat the immediate symptoms but also aim to address the root cause of the problem. This comprehensive approach can result in better outcomes and long-term relief for patients suffering from various musculoskeletal conditions.

5. Techniques used by osteopaths

Osteopaths employ a wide range of techniques to address musculoskeletal conditions and promote healing. These techniques are tailored to each individual’s needs and may include manual therapies such as joint mobilisations and manipulations. These hands-on techniques aim to restore joint function, reduce pain, and improve range of motion.

In addition to manual therapies, osteopaths may also use soft tissue techniques, such as massage and myofascial release, to alleviate muscle tension and enhance tissue healing. These techniques can be especially effective in relieving chronic muscle pain and improving circulation.

Furthermore, osteopaths may employ techniques like craniosacral therapy, which focuses on the movement of the skull and spinal column, to address conditions such as headaches, sinus issues, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

By integrating these various techniques, osteopaths can provide comprehensive and individualised care to their patients. This approach not only reduces pain and discomfort but also promotes overall well-being and optimal functioning of the body.

6. Benefits of seeking treatment from an osteopath

Seeking treatment from an osteopath can offer numerous benefits for individuals dealing with musculoskeletal issues.

Firstly, osteopaths provide a personalised approach to treatment, tailoring their techniques to each individual’s needs. This ensures that patients receive targeted and effective care, promoting faster healing and recovery.

Secondly, the hands-on techniques used by osteopaths, such as joint mobilisations and manipulations, have been shown to reduce pain and improve range of motion. By restoring joint function, individuals can experience increased mobility and a higher quality of life.

Thirdly, soft tissue techniques like massage and myofascial release not only relieve muscle tension but also enhance tissue healing. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic muscle pain or recovering from injuries.

Lastly, osteopaths offer an alternative to pharmaceutical interventions for pain management. By addressing the root cause of the issue through manual therapies, individuals may be able to reduce their reliance on medication and experience long-term relief.

In conclusion, seeking treatment from an osteopath can provide numerous benefits, including personalised care, reduced pain, improved mobility, enhanced tissue healing, and an alternative to medication. By considering osteopathy as a treatment option, individuals can take a proactive approach to their health and well-being.

7. Conclusion

Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach to Relieving Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can arise due to various reasons such as overuse, injury, or underlying medical conditions. While medication and surgery are commonly used approaches, an alternative therapy gaining popularity for shoulder pain relief is osteopathy. In this blog post, we will explore what osteopathy is and how it can help alleviate shoulder pain.

Understanding Osteopathy:

Originating in the late 19th century, osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on manipulating and adjusting the musculoskeletal system to promote the body’s natural healing capabilities. Osteopaths view the body as an interconnected unit where all parts work together to maintain overall health and well-being.

Osteopathic Treatment for Shoulder Pain:

When it comes to shoulder pain, osteopathy can be highly effective. An osteopath will begin by assessing the shoulder joint, surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons to identify the root cause of pain. They take into account the patient’s medical history, lifestyle factors, and any previous injuries to create a tailored treatment plan.

Here are some osteopathic techniques commonly used to alleviate shoulder pain:

1. Soft Tissue Manipulation: Osteopaths use gentle stretching and soft tissue manipulation techniques to reduce muscle tension, release tightness, and improve blood circulation in the affected area. This helps to restore proper shoulder function and alleviate pain.

2. Joint Mobilisation: Osteopaths apply specific techniques to mobilise the shoulder joints. This helps improve range of motion, reduce stiffness, and relieve pain caused by dysfunctional joint movement.

3. Manipulative Therapy: Gentle joint manipulations are employed to mobilise restricted joints in the shoulder complex. These manipulations aim to improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and minimise pain.

4. Exercise Prescription: Osteopaths often suggest specific exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint. These exercises help improve stability, flexibility, and overall shoulder function when performed correctly and consistently.

Benefits of Osteopathy for Shoulder Pain:

Osteopathic treatment for shoulder pain offers several advantages:

1. Non-invasive: Osteopathy is a non-invasive therapy, meaning it does not involve surgery or medication, minimising the risk of adverse side effects.

2. Holistic approach: Osteopathy considers the body as a whole, addressing underlying issues or imbalances contributing to shoulder pain rather than merely treating the symptoms.

3. Personalised treatment: Osteopathy takes into account individual factors such as lifestyle, medical history, and previous injuries to provide bespoke treatment plans for each patient.

4. Improved long-term outcomes: By addressing the root cause of shoulder pain and focusing on the body’s self-healing abilities, osteopathy aims to provide long-lasting pain relief and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Conclusion:

If you are suffering from shoulder pain and seeking a non-invasive, holistic approach to healing, osteopathy may be worth considering. With its focus on the interconnectedness of the body and its natural ability to heal, osteopathy has shown promising results in relieving shoulder pain. Consulting an osteopath can help identify the root cause of your shoulder pain and provide a personalised treatment plan to aid in your recovery process.

Osteopath Near Me

Are you looking for an osteopath near me in London? If so, look no further than Leyton Osteopaths. We have been serving the people of East London for many years and earning rave reviews for holistic approach to healthcare that quite simply gets outstanding results for our patients. Here’s what one patient who was suffering from debilitating back pain and sciatica had to say

 

When I first went to see Shane for my sciatica pain, I could only walk 10 steps before I had to stop and rest because of the severe pain. My right hamstring and calf would spasm and I had to get up in the middle of the night to take pain killers. Basically, I couldn’t walk, sit or sleep, pain had become unbearable. But after 3 sessions with Shane at Leyton Osteopath I am 80% cured. Pain hasn’t 100% gone, but my leg has stop spasming, I am only taking pain killers once a day and I am not getting up in the middle of the night. It’s not an exaggeration to say I have my life back. I am very grateful to Shane for his advice and help. I would recommend anyone in back pain to get it checked before it’s too late. It really takes over your life.
And a new Mum who was experiencing pregnancy related pains said this
I can’t recommend Rengin at Leyton Osteopaths highly enough! I started seeing her at around 20 weeks pregnant due to back pain and she immediately helped me feel relief. I have continued seeing her regularly for various things throughout my pregnancy and now into postpartum with my daughter. There have been multiple times I walked in to her office in pain and walked out feeling renewed, as if I’m walking on air (not easy to do when heavily pregnant). I look forward to every visit. She goes above and beyond for her clients and has such a kind demeanour. I would recommend her to anyone.
And another who had shoulder pain that was affecting her ability to do even the most basic tasks found treatment to be extremely effective straight away
Had pain in my shoulder for a good few months and Shane was extremely helpful in relieving me of my pain. I only had one session and within around two weeks the pain has completely gone thanks to the exercises Shane told me to do! Great service and highly recommend!
