Free Osteopathy Consultations in London!
Due to popular demand and the value you’ve found in these consultations, we have decided to extend the duration of this offer 🙂
Where did the summer go? August has gone and the holidays are over as autumn officially arrives. Schools and universities will be heading back for another year of study and you’ll gradually start to notice the evenings getting shorter.
It’s not all doom and gloom, however. Injury Therapy Pro are offering free Osteopathy consultations in London throughout the month of September to allow you to address all those injuries and niggles that you’ve been ignoring.
Sometimes just understanding what a pain or discomfort is and that it can be managed, can make a huge difference to our lives… and throughout September it’ll be free.
Due to popular demand and the value you’ve found in these consultations, we have decided to extend the duration of this offer 🙂
Esprit Concrete - Movement to Empower
Injury Therapy Pro and Esprit Concrete are working together to deliver an integrated approach to health, wellness, therapy and movement. Our unique collaboration addresses physical and mental restrictions, imbalances, injuries, acute/chronic pain, and barriers to healing using CBT, Psychology, Osteopathy, Mindfulness and Parkour.
Injury Therapy Pro and Esprit Concrete are working together to deliver an integrated approach to health, wellness, therapy and movement. The mind and the body do not work in isolation. Issues affecting one, can manifest themselves in the other, whether positive or negative, therefore effecting our structure, function, performance, and progression in all areas of life.
Our unique collaboration addresses physical and mental restrictions, imbalances, injuries, acute/chronic pain, and barriers to healing using CBT, Psychology, Osteopathy, Mindfulness and Parkour.
How can this help you? In more ways than you may realise. As an extension to our clinic's holistic approach, Esprit Concrete's structured classes and sessions allow for personal development through identifying aspects of ones psychological, physical and emotional states. The participant gains a deeper understanding of themselves and works on elements through movement, self-reflection and Parkour.
We are made to move. Movement is life. Yet modern city lifestyles today often inhibit this. We cannot recommend Esprit Concrete's sessions highly enough, and regular attendees receive 20% off follow up treatments at Injury Therapy Pro. Please see their website for more information.
An excuse to move
It always seems to be a bit of a novelty when the sun appears in London. People often don't know what to do. Panic food buying, spontaneous BBQ's, crazy drivers, bikers, people stripping off, music blaring and flowing alcohol.
Those are my impressions at least. Well I made use of the weekends good weather, (aside from working) as an excuse to get out into nature, away from the city, to smell the flowers, stretch my body and move as we were made to. Vitamin D, endorphin release, muscle, heart and lung activation - the perfect recipe for mind body and soul 😊
New EC1 Clinic Opening Soon...
Exciting times are approaching for Injury Therapy Pro as we prepare to move to our new EC1 Clinic and Rehabilitation Space. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for more information and special offers coming your way very soon.
The Strength Test
Every once in a while, or more often if possible, it's good and indeed healthy to test ones inner strength. And so I propose a little self challenge. This is theoretically very simple and totally personal to the individual.
I had posted this on Facebook a while ago, but thought I'd repost it here as a good friend of mine recently took on this challenge and has now given up smoking! Well Done to him. He'll benefit way more than he currently realises.
A test of inner strength that is..
Every once in a while, or more often if possible, it's good and indeed healthy to test ones inner strength. And so I propose a little self challenge. This is theoretically very simple and totally personal to the individual. Therefore it's level of difficulty is set by you, how well you do is monitored by you and what you gain from it will be totally personal to you.
The 24 hour abstinence test. So this could be anything.. The morning coffee that you 'need' (?), or the 5 you have throughout the day. The chocolates you always tear your way through every lunchtime. Alcohol that you now seem to be drinking EVERY day. Smoking! (this is a great challenge to set), eating fast food, not using Facebook!! Crispy bacon? - The possibilities are endless
Remember this is an abstinence test of inner strength, so for the set period of time (preferably a minimum of 24 hours) you should totally stop the chosen activity. Reducing it doesn't count. And the best part is, after you've completed the test, you can resume your activity :o)
Tips:
- Challenge yourself!
- There's no point giving up alcohol for 24 hours on Sunday when you've been drinking for 24 hours on Saturday.
- Try to pick something that you will benefit from in some way.
- It must be challenging and personal to you.
- Post your coments, thoughts, experiences and challenges
WHY??
Well, because you can. Or can you? It's sometimes an interesting test to take because it's an opportunity to find out how much of a slave to things you are. Or to put it another way,how much in control you are of yourself. A test of character and a test of strength.
Please post your coments, thoughts, experiences and challenges.
Move Nautral
Explore your true nature, empower your human nature. Do something that is real.
Crawl, balance, jump. Do the fundamental movements. Explore your true nature, empower your human nature. Do something that is real. Do something that is natural and grounded. Connect with the nature within, connect with nature outside. There is magic that happens when you let the body recapture its original intelligence. - Erwan Le Corre
New Year, New You?
As January 2020 takes us into a new year and a new decade the promise of a better, healthier lifestyle tempts us off the sofa and out of our comfort zone.
But before we begin we should assess how that might affect our body. Don’t let the niggles of last year interrupt your good intentions or chances of success.
We’ve already seen a trend of eager resolutions hit their first hurdle from going too hard, too soon or ignoring past issues.
Injury Therapy Pro can help you put your best foot forward, to manage your new movement manifesto, and guide you to your goals in a safe and achievable way.
