    Seasonal Affective Disorder: What is it and how can you treat it?

    Bob's Health Tips
    0

    The Winter Blues. Sounds like the name of a 70’s folk band but alas, no… It’s the deceptively-cute nickname some give to what doctors call ‘Seasonal Affective Disorder‘, or S.A.D. This is something of an aptonym, of course, because sad is exactly what many people suddenly and inexplicably feel with the a […]

    Bob's Health Tips
    2

    Would you believe that serrapeptase is a supplement made with an enzyme found in bacteria in silkworms? Sounds like nonsense, right?! It’s true, though, and serrapeptase is said to help with inflammation, pain, infection and more. Bob’s Bones looks into it…

    How the Way You Think Can Change the Way You Feel

    Ever heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? We’re not talking here about the idea that if you want a Ferrari you can just believe one is on its way and have it turn up! Rather, we mean the kind of self-fulfilling prophecy that impacts on your health…

    Prevent Falls

    Bob's Health Tips
    2

    The fact that – annually – more than three million people over the age of 65 suffer a fall in the UK is justification alone for an Info Sheet on this… But that’s not the worst of it!
    Plenty of younger people take a tumble, too, while many others choose not to report their accidents… And although the conseque […]

    Bob's Health Tips
    6

    If there’s one food that continues to get fantastic press pretty much across the board, it’s kale. Even with a recent study showing that it might not be quite so terrific for you when raw, and in large amounts, kale remains of great interest. Why? Because it’s…

    Back and neck pain – along with sciatica – are among the most debilitating conditions we see here at the Back in Shape clinic. And while manual therapy is often enough to help, there is another option for chronic pain: Intervertebral Differential Dynamics Therapy, or IDD. This month we look at how it can help…

    This time of year sees shops swell with food that one hardly sees at any other time! As a bit of fun, we thought it might be interesting to see if any of them have health benefits… And the outcome is surprising! We’ll start with a couple of curiosities, then finish with a traditional Christmas gift…

    Beat that Cold!

    Bob's Health Tips

    The common cold. Powerful enough to wipe out Martians in H.G. Wells’ ‘War of the Worlds’ but not enough to earn a colleague’s sympathy… Here at Back in Shape, though, we’re sympathetic enough to share our top tips on keeping them at bay. Colds, that is, not Martians…

    How Dreaming Impacts Health

    "My friend’s going to return from a fishing trip with a full kreel" laughed one of our team members, quoting from a so-called dream dictionary recently… Somewhat improbably, that’s how the book interpreted the subject of his dream: a pelican! Dismissing it as nonsense, he went about his business with the feeli […]
