Thoughtful Thursday - March 18th
Another week flying by! We have a bit of front-of-house to get through this week so are giving the podcast and shameless plug a rest today, owing to the length of this. But Michael is back (with a little poetry!) to continue his tour of your spine so please read on…

Rescheduling/cancellation policy
Reiterating from last week – please do contact us if you cannot make it for your appointment. Our waiting lists are actually quite long at the moment and it means we can get someone else in.
Given we are extremely busy, we cannot always guarantee the days/times you want will be available. Please do confirm what your practitioner recommends and book well in advance to avoid disappointment, particularly on a weekend.
Traffic issues – Putney and Fulham
Both practices are suffering from the scourge of increased car use combined with roadworks, which have resulted in loads of traffic, detours, lane closures and people becoming stressed as they are running late.
Given we are trying to keep to time as much as possible, please do leave a bit earlier if the car/cab/bus is a must.
However! We would certainly like to encourage you to walk/cycle if possible when coming to see us. It will be MUCH more pleasant, reliable, and healthier for you! (And possibly even faster.) 😊
Podcast of the Week
The Chiro.London Pod, proudly fuelled by Ground Coffee Society, is taking a breather this week but will be back soon with some fresh content.
Until then, you can catch up on any episodes you’ve missed on our website, Spotify, Apple and Google, too.
Vertebra of the Week
Not content with dropping knowledge in the regular way, Michael’s tour of your spine takes an interesting twist this week as we continue along the thoracic region…
T3
You may ask, now why is this a rhyme?
Because it’s so important and, well, we have the time!
T3 has nerves connecting to the lungs, bronchial tubes, pleura and chest
which means that they also connect to the breast.
If you find your spine is tight there,
you’re unlikely to be as fit and as quick as a hare.
Bronchitis, pneumonia, influenza, congestion,
and pleurisy are all horrible – without question.
A problem at T3 may just mean
the ability for one of these nasties to intervene.
So look after your body, nervous system and spine
and everything should be just fine.
Shameless Plug of the Week
Will be back next week as this email is WAY too long already and they are about to jump at Cheltenham. Want a tip? Feel free to email me back and we can lose together!
That is me done for another week. We’ll be back with some more fun stuff next Thursday so look after yourselves and see you then.
Cheers,
Drew
