Thoughtful Thursday: The July Edition is the Summer Express Edition!

Clinic Updates
Just a reminder that our mandate to wear masks in clinic has changed, so we are leaving it to our teams to decide how they would like to proceed.

That said, it appears we have had a lot of people calling us a little worse for wear with the ‘C’ word. If you are feeling unwell, please contact the front desk and we will bump you a week (or until you are back up to scratch). We are trying to be as sensible as possible regarding the state of play at the moment.

Have a lil bit of sad news, with a shout-out and BIG THANK YOU to a couple of our CAs who have headed off in new directions over the last month. Thank you to Niamh from Team TootToot and Harpreet at Kew for all your help, particularly during the crazy times over the last couple of years. We wish you all the best with your steps into film and teaching respectively! 😊

That also means there’ll be some new faces at the desk, along with some new practitioners dripping in over the next few months. Please make them feel welcome when they arrive!

The Chiro.London Pod, proudly fuelled by Ground Coffee Society, is on hiatus for the summer. You can listen to the ‘Best Ofs’ on our website, Spotify, Apple and Google at any time.

Shameless Plug
Weirdly, a housekeeping one…

Summer is upon us, huzzah! Which means people will be heading off on trips and coming back from trips. Very exciting!

Given the lead-in to holidays can be a very stressful time for some, which can affect how your spine and nervous system function, we cannot stress the importance of sticking to your care plan as outlined by your practitioner. We have been crazy busy lately, so trying to drop-in last minute if you are broken has unfortunately not been working out particularly well for many people.

So our plug? Ensure you are booked in until you go away – but more importantly, have one in for when you get back to ensure we have time to see you! If your regular practitioner is off, just ask the team to pop you in with someone else to ensure you can be cared for. 😊

Our ‘Refer a Friend’ offer will also be changing from August, so keep a lookout in clinic and next month’s newsletter for all the deets… could be amazing!

Have a lovely July and see y’all in August!
