Thoughtful Thursday - February 11th

Another week down – 7 weeks till Easter! This week, Michael’s tour of your spine continues, Craig talks to the BCA about how our industry has responded to the pandemic and we have a plug about a tweak to our fees…

Clinic Updates

Another week of no new news! We are looking towards the Easter period and will likely be running a skeleton staff over that period, so some of the team can have another breather.

Will keep you posted as we go.

Podcast of the Week

This week’s Chiro.London Pod, proudly fuelled by Ground Coffee Society, features the heads of the British Chiropractic Association sharing a coffee with Craig.

They talked about chiropractic’s role in the response to the pandemic, how important our skillsets have become to help ease the burden on the NHS, and some interesting chat about research and the future of chiropractic.

Watch the chat on IGTV here, or take a listen on the website, or on Spotify, Apple and Google, too.

Vertebra of The Week

Next up on Michael’s tour of your spine is…

C6 

Ever woken up with a stiff or even locked neck? (🙋‍♂️) So many people complain of this on a day-to-day basis and do not know what caused it. It might be a subluxated (misaligned) C6 vertebra that does cause the neck to become ‘locked’. This locked feeling will happen as muscles then go into spasm. And what pill or ointment will realign it?

The nerves here supply your tonsils, lungs, neck muscles, shoulders and upper back/between the shoulder blades. If these nerves are irritated, symptoms might include: stiff neck, pain in the upper arm, tonsillitis and chronic cough.

Thanks Michael. We have a special prize this week – first one who emails me with what they learned in last week’s email, I will shout you a physical therapy session or a massage with Alex at our clinic in Kew. And I’m feeling generous this week, so anyone else that also gets back to me with the answer will score £20 off a massage with Alex as well!

Shameless Plug of the Week

Thanks for your feedback on the website. Given you are the ones that use it, we appreciate your thoughts!

Our plug this week is a PSA about our care packages.

The prices of our care plans of will be tweaked from March 1st.

The current block of 8 will become a block of 12, and the current block of 12 will become a 24-pack.

Wanted to give everyone a heads-up so you could snag yourself a bargain before the change!

Our pay-as-you-go rate will remain as is.

If you won’t be in before then, you can purchase these on our webstore at any time. If you have existing credit, we will add this to the top. Any questions, please give your clinic a call.

So that is me done for another week. Gong Xi Fa Cai to those who are celebrating Chinese New Year and happy Valentine’s Day to all the lovers!

Over ‘n’ out!
