With summer around the corner, it’s important to stay healthy so you can do the things you love. Here at Pure Health Chiropractic, we can help with that!
Summer is all about constant movement—from hiking and beach volleyball to gardening and weekend sports. The trouble is, jumping straight from a desk job into intense summer activities can throw your body for a loop. Going from zero to sixty often leads to muscle strains, misaligned joints, and lower back pain that can ruin your summer plans.
That’s where routine chiropractic care comes in. Think of it as routine maintenance for your body. Instead of waiting for an injury to happen, proactive adjustments help by:
Keeping your spine functioning well to prevent uneven wear and tear.
Improving your range of motion so you can move freely.
Boosting your nervous system for better overall body function.
By keeping your body balanced and fluid, you can spend less time recovering on the couch and more time doing what you love.

It’s that time of year when (hopefully) things start to dry out a bit and warm up. Unfortunately, that can often mean that we get more aches and pains, back pain and injuries when out in the garden looking to tidy things up. It’s easily done after a winter off, and frustrating as you want to get back out there as soon as possible.
BOOK IN NOW if you are struggling. We can help get you back in the garden if you have muscle, joint or nerve problems affecting your quality of life.
Gardening should be a workout for your green thumb, not a literal pain in the neck (or back). Most gardening injuries are avoidable with a bit of strategy. If you struggle with stiffness in your spine, hips, or ankles, use these pro tips to keep your back happy while you work:
1. Warm Up First
Don’t dive straight into heavy lifting. Start with “low-impact” tasks like mowing, light sweeping, or raking. Think of it as a pre-game stretch to get your blood flowing before the real work begins.
2. The 30-Minute Shuffle
Repetition is the enemy of a healthy spine. To prevent joints from stiffening, switch tasks every 30 minutes. By varying your movement, you ensure no single muscle group takes the brunt of the load.
3. Lift Smarter, Not Harder
Whether you’re moving mulch or laying a patio, keep the weight close to your body.
The Power Squat: Bend at the hips and knees, never the waist.
The “Golfer’s Lift”: For lighter items, try bending one knee while keeping the other leg extended for balance and strength.
4. Listen to your body!
Your garden isn’t going anywhere, but a back injury will definitely side-line you. If you feel tightness or a “twinge,” stop and take a walk – your garden isn’t going anywhere, but if you give yourself a back injury then neither are you! If you are feeling tight and stiff in those muscles after a buy gardening session, Liesa our massage therapist can help! BOOK IN NOW.

Turmeric (curcumin) is the wonder compound everyone raves about. It’s been shown to help with a number of inflammatory ailments including: arthritis; joint pain; digestive issues; and even migraines. BUT, is all turmeric the same? NO, and we explain why below…
Only 1-2% of curcumin gets absorbed into the blood
The main active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which is poorly absorbed by the body. In its natural form, less than 2% is bioavailable. To enhance absorption, many supplements combine curcumin with piperine – a compound found in black pepper – that can increase bioavailability by up to 20-fold. However, high doses of curcumin supplements have, in rare cases, been linked to liver toxicity.
There’s a better way — the Phytosome!
The supplement we recommend – TURMERIC PLUS – uses phytosomal technology (Meriva®) to deliver our 330 mg of curcumin, which provides the same bioavailability as about 2,250 mg of standard curcumin!
This advanced formulation binds curcumin to phospholipids, dramatically improving absorption into the bloodstream.
Still not convinced? Look at the research
Studies comparing phytosomal curcumin (Meriva®) to standard turmeric found that overall curcuminoid absorption was about 29 times higher—that’s a 2,900% increase in bioavailability 🤯.
And best of all, this boost comes without using high-dose piperine, which has been linked to potential liver stress at large amounts.
Clinical evidence supports our Curcumin Phytosome formula
In an 8-month study of 100 patients with knee osteoarthritis, daily administration of 1,000 mg Meriva® (≈200 mg curcumin) produced significant improvements in pain, stiffness and function (WOMAC score) and markedly better treadmill walking performance versus a control group — with reductions in inflammatory markers and good tolerability.
This extended study confirms that the phytosome formulation delivers sustained, clinically meaningful benefits without requiring high-dose piperine. They used the WOMAC score for pain and disability for the knee OA and after 8 months the curcumin group had a total of over 50% reduction in pain and disability.
Of course with less pain, comes less medication along with less side effects.
But TURMERIC PLUS is not a one-man band.
It’s a dynamic duo, combining phytosomal curcumin with phytosomal Boswellia (Casperome®) for a double whammy against inflammation. Clinical evidence shows this combination can accelerate recovery from ankle sprains, with over 50% improvement in pain and function compared with controls.
Or how about knee injuries, again over 50% improvement:
In short: TURMERIC PLUS delivers clinically supported, highly absorbable curcumin, enhanced by Boswellia, for sustained, powerful anti-inflammatory support — naturally, safely, and effectively.
You could be paying up to double the amount for the same doses in two separate products! You can get Turmeric Plus from us for only £34 (existing clients only – contact us for details).

“Liesa is just wonderful. Always professional, thorough and considered. She has done wonders with my ongoing back and neck problems, and makes me feel completely comfortable and at ease. I would see her every week if I could!”
“Leisa is brilliant, service is second to non, I have a complicated illness and the different from having the massage is massive, I would totally recommend her to anyone who is suffering, I think that even people without an illness would really benefit from Leisa expert touch.”
“I had a 2nd visit to Chris recently. After 6 years of chronic back pain I feel like finally I’m on the right path to get better. I highly recommend Chris…”
“After trying several different chiropractic clinics I came across Chris and instantly started recommending his practice to others. I love the fact that he not only carries out excellent treatment during my appointment but also gives me exercises which can be accessed via an app to do at home. Chris genuinely cares about his patients and takes the time to listen to you and impart his specialist advice, which is always very helpful.”
“Excellent first class treatment by Chris Mallet at pure Health chiropractitioners. I first arrived for treatment with herendous nerve pain in my left side, my back, neck, shoulder and all down my arm to my fingers and could hardly move, but after a couple of sessions I felt amazing improvements. After some more treatments I was back to normal. Chris explained in detail about my condition and how to help improve it and this helped me tremendously. I can recommend Chris if you need a chiropractor and would recommend to never hesitate to contact him for treatment.”
“Chris was absolutely fantastic. When I first went to him I could hardly walk and wear any shoes with backs in because of my bone spurs but after a course of shock wave treatment I can now go on hikes and wear shoes with comfort and no pain. Shock wave therapy has improved my lifestyle and enabled me to get back to full fitness amd enjoy my life again . I would highly recommend it. Thank you Chris I am extremely grateful.”
“I began my Shockwave treatment unable to walk without being in severe pain. After six weeks treatment alongside other exercises recommended by Chris I am able to walk the dog relatively pain free and survive a day teaching. Thank You so much.”

Many people underestimate how important good nutrition is for healing and overall health. Even though we think we eat healthily, modern diets often lack essential nutrients and vitamins our bodies need to thrive.
Why Nutrition Matters for Healing and Health
Poor nutrition and lifestyle choices can create a “nutritional gap”—meaning your body isn’t getting enough of the nutrients it needs. At the same time, modern life exposes us to more “bad stuff,” such as stress, poor sleep, too much junk food, social media, and lack of activity. These factors don’t just affect our mood and general health—they can also slow down healing, prolong injuries, and even contribute to chronic pain because the body can’t focus its energy on repair.
How Nutrition Impacts Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care isn’t just about relieving pain—it’s about helping your body function at its best. Your body needs essential nutrients to produce energy, hormones, and connective tissue like bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Without proper nutrition, you may experience fatigue, hormone imbalances, poor tissue quality, stiffness, and a higher risk of injury.
In other words, even the best chiropractic adjustments are harder to benefit from if your nutrition and lifestyle aren’t supporting your body’s natural healing processes.
Why Diet Alone May Not Be Enough
Nutrients in food are declining: Modern farming depletes soil of minerals, and fruits and vegetables are often stored for months before reaching your table. Even organic produce is affected.
Meat may be less nutritious: Livestock fed on grains instead of natural diets receive fewer nutrients, which affects the quality of the meat you eat.
Modern lifestyles increase nutrient demands: Stress, activity levels, and environmental factors mean your body needs more nutrients than in the past.
Supplements: Helpful, But Not a Fix-All
Taking a daily multivitamin is useful, but supplements are designed to complement a healthy diet, not replace it. Many over-the-counter supplements are low quality or poorly absorbed, so they may not make a noticeable difference.
We recommend high-quality, bioavailable supplements like In Health One a Day Essential Multi, which contain forms of vitamins and minerals that your body can actually use. Some people, due to genetic factors, cannot convert inactive vitamins into the forms their bodies need—so the right supplement makes a real difference.

Unfortunately, that can often mean that we get more aches and pains, back pain and injuries when out in the garden looking to tidy things up. It’s easily done after a winter off, and frustrating as you want to get back out there as soon as possible.
BOOK IN NOW if you are struggling. We can help get you back in the garden if you have muscle, joint or nerve problems affecting your quality of life.
Most of the painful conditions I see are avoidable. If you struggle with poor mobility in the spine, hips or ankles then preventing back pain in the garden when bending or squatting is essential. The risk is increased further if you also spend a long period of time in one position or doing the same repetitive task under load. Here are some top tips to help you prevent back pain gardening:
Don’t start with heavy-duty gardening.
Warm up with the lighter jobs, like mowing the lawn or gentle sweeping or raking. When warmed up and moving well, then move on to something else a little more challenging.
Mix it up.
It is important to vary your activity every 30 minutes or so rather than be in one position for too long. Staying in one position can cause the joints and tissues to adapt and stiffen up, causing increased risk of pain or injury when moving again. Varying your activity can minimise this.
If you are laying a patio or doing any heavy lifting.
Keep the object close to your body and bend through your knees and hips. It is sometimes better to bend one knee rather than two to pick up or move objects (also known as a ‘golfers lift’) as your supporting leg gives you a position of strength.
Take Breaks
Listen to your body! Remember that you have plenty of time to get the jobs done, so don’t feel like it all has to be done in one session. If your back starts to complain then take a break, go for a short walk and let things ease before starting again – your garden isn’t going anywhere, but if you give yourself a back injury then neither are you!
If you are having any problems or gardening causes you back pain, then Chiropractic care could help. This may be in the short term for symptomatic relief, or with long term preventative or maintenance care to maintain good movement and function.
Or, if you are feeling tight and stiff in those muscles after a buy gardening session, Liesa our massage therapist can help!

Well, we’ve had a miserable and wet winter, but things are looking up!
