Feeling Worn Out? Here's How to Reclaim Your Health and Energy – Starting Now! By Nicola Rist
Let’s be honest – life is hectic. We’re constantly juggling work, commuting, school runs, after-school clubs, cooking, cleaning, and the never-ending admin. In all this chaos, it’s no wonder we forget to look after the one person holding it all together – ourselves.
I speak from experience. Between caring for my patients, raising children, and catching up on paperwork late into the evening, I too find it hard to carve out time for myself. That’s why I’m making some changes this month – and I’d love for you to join me.
Why Looking After Yourself Isn’t a Luxury – It’s a Necessity
When you take care of your health, everything else becomes easier. You feel more resilient, more focused, and more able to cope with life’s ups and downs. Neglecting it, on the other hand, can make even simple tasks feel like a struggle.
Here’s what genuinely helps:
Regular movement – Even a short walk can do wonders for your energy and mindset.
Eating well – Nourishing your body makes you feel lighter, sharper and more balanced.
Fresh air and time outdoors – Nature is one of the best stress relievers.
Connection – Socialising, laughing, and talking can lift your mood like nothing else.
Stillness – A few minutes of mindfulness or deep breathing makes a real difference.
Osteopathy – More than just pain relief, it supports your body to function at its best.
So, Can Osteopathy Really Help?
Most people see an osteopath when something hurts – maybe due to injury, age-related changes, or because they’re preparing for something physical like a marathon. But osteopathy can be so much more than reactive care.
Because osteopathy is holistic, we don’t just focus on the area that hurts. We look at the bigger picture – posture, symmetry, movement patterns and lifestyle. It’s about helping the body work as efficiently as possible, so you can feel your best and avoid future problems.
It’s Not Just About the Body – It’s About You
Osteopaths use what’s called the biopsychosocial model, which means we take into account:
Your physical health
Your mental and emotional wellbeing
Your social and lifestyle factors
That’s why we take such a thorough case history when you first visit. We want to understand your whole story, so your treatment is tailored to you – with practical, achievable steps to support your recovery and long-term health.
