Bladder and bowel leakage
Urgency and frequency
Prolapse symptoms
Overactive bladder

My back was very strong and rich in density — a reassuring sign that, despite my fracture and years of wear and tear, my spine had recovered well. Seeing that on the scan was empowering and gave me real confidence in my body’s resilience.

Why I Love Laser Therapy (and How It Saved My “Gangly Wrist”)

A little while ago, I developed what I jokingly called my “gangly wrist.” The medical term is a ganglionic cyst — a small, fluid-filled lump that can make simple things like gripping, typing, or demonstrating techniques uncomfortable (which, as you can imagine, isn’t great when you’re an osteopath!).
