Planning Ahead for Your Osteopathy Care: Jeremy’s Upcoming Leave

At JJB Osteopath in Angel, London, we know how important consistency and accessibility are when it comes to your health and well-being. That’s why we wanted to keep you informed about a brief scheduling update that could impact your next session. Jeremy, our trusted osteopath, will be away from July 15th to July 26th. If you’ve been thinking about booking a session, now is the perfect time to schedule an appointment before his temporary leave.

In this blog post, we’ll not only give you a heads-up about the scheduling change but also highlight the importance of proactive health care, why continuity matters in osteopathic treatment, and how planning your sessions ahead can support your recovery and long-term well-being.

Jeremy’s Approach to Osteopathy: Holistic, Person-Centered Care

As a qualified osteopath and clinic tutor at the UCO School of Osteopathy, Jeremy brings both clinical expertise and a deep sense of human connection to every session. His approach is rooted in the philosophy that healing begins not only with hands-on techniques but also with understanding each individual’s unique story.

Jeremy’s journey into osteopathy began with a background in the travel industry — working as a holiday representative and flight attendant. These experiences cultivated his innate empathy and interest in people’s well-being. His path progressed through sports massage therapy and eventually led to a five-year training at the University College of Osteopathy (UCO), formerly the British School of Osteopathy.

In every session, Jeremy blends his vast experience with a genuine commitment to helping you move, feel, and live better. Whether you come in for neck pain, joint stiffness, or stress-related tension, his treatments are tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Why Book Ahead?

If you’ve been experiencing discomfort, pain, or general tension, addressing it sooner rather than later is key. Planning your appointment before Jeremy’s leave ensures that your progress continues uninterrupted, and that you don’t miss the opportunity to receive timely care.

Here’s why you should consider booking now:

• Maintain Consistency: For chronic or ongoing conditions like back pain or postural issues, regular osteopathic care can make a significant difference. Skipping a session may lead to discomfort returning or slowing down your recovery.
• Prevention is Better than Cure: If you’re generally feeling well but prone to tightness, headaches, or flare-ups, a preemptive session can keep your body running smoothly during the gap.
• Align with Your Routine: Booking ahead enables you to fit the session conveniently into your personal or work schedule, especially during a busy summer period.

Appointments typically fill up quickly leading up to holiday leave, so securing your slot now helps avoid disappointment.

What to Expect from an Osteopathy Session

If you’re new to osteopathy or considering your first appointment, you might be wondering what the process looks like.

Initial Consultation – 50 Minutes (£80)

This first session allows Jeremy to fully understand your health history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a comprehensive physical examination. You’ll receive a tailored treatment plan based on this initial assessment, which may include hands-on techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, stretching, and at-home exercises.

Follow-Up Appointment – 35 Minutes (£70)

Follow-up sessions aim to continue the progress made in your initial visit. Treatment techniques may evolve depending on how your body is responding. Jeremy often provides advice to support your posture, movement, and recovery between sessions.

Sports Massage – 60 Minutes (£80)

Ideal for active individuals or those dealing with muscular tension, a sports massage helps improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and promote overall physical well-being. Jeremy’s training as a sports massage therapist means he brings expert hands and anatomical insight to every session.

Common Conditions Treated

One of the many benefits of osteopathy is its versatility. At JJB Osteopath, Jeremy treats a wide range of conditions using evidence-informed and patient-centred techniques. The most common issues he addresses include:

• Neck and Back Pain: Whether from poor posture, stress, or injury, osteopathy can relieve tension in the spine and surrounding muscles.
• Joint Pain: Including shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle pain, whether from arthritis, overuse, or sports-related injuries.
• Arthritic and Rheumatic Pain: Gentle techniques help manage symptoms, support joint mobility, and improve quality of life.
• Postural Problems: Particularly common for those working desk jobs or spending prolonged hours in a static position.
• Sports Injuries and Recovery: From sprains to muscle strain, osteopathy supports recovery and helps prevent future setbacks.
• Muscle Spasms and Tension: Often linked to stress or injury; Jeremy helps release spasms and improve movement.
• Neurological Conditions: Including sciatica and nerve compression symptoms. Osteopathy can support nerve health and reduce irritations.
• Headaches and Migraines: Especially those related to tension in the neck or upper back.
• TMJ (Jaw Disorders): Often overlooked, jaw tension can cause headaches, facial pain, and even affect posture. Jeremy uses precise techniques to ease TMJ symptoms.

Supporting Your Health Between Appointments

During Jeremy’s time away, it’s still important to support your body’s well-being. If your treatment program is ongoing, here are some tips to help you maintain the gains you’ve made in osteopathic care:

• Stay Active: Gentle mobility exercises, walking, or yoga can help keep muscles and joints moving freely.
• Hydrate and Nourish: Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a balanced diet supports tissue health and recovery.
• Mind Your Posture: Remember the advice Jeremy shares during treatment—maintaining posture can prevent strain and discomfort.
• Use Self-Care Tools: Foam rollers, massage balls, and heat or cold packs can offer temporary relief if needed.
• Stretching Exercises: Continue any recommended home exercises Jeremy has shared to maintain progress.

If you have questions about ongoing care, feel free to reach out prior to July 15th to ensure you have all the guidance you need before Jeremy’s short break.
