If you’re reading this while listening to the rain batter the windows and the wind howl across Plymouth Sound, you’re not alone. January in Plymouth has a particular feel to it: grey skies, shorter days, damp air, and a natural pull towards hibernation. While the city has its own rugged beauty at this time of year, these conditions can take a real toll on how our bodies feel. At Back To Normal Chiropractic Clinic, Plymouth. I use the McTimoney chiropractic technique. I often

If you’ve stepped outside in Plymouth this January, chances are you’ve been greeted by rain, grey skies, and that familiar damp chill that seems to seep right into your bones. Winter by the sea has its own character – bracing walks along the Hoe, wind-lashed umbrellas, and the temptation to stay curled up indoors just a little longer. But while the slower pace of January can feel comforting, it can also take a toll on your body. Why Winter Aches Are So Common During the colde

At Back to Normal Chiropractic clinic here in Plymouth, I often see a rise in aches and pains in the run-up to Christmas – and it’s no coincidence. Why Does the Body Feel More Strained at Christmas? In the week before Christmas, daily routines tend to go out of the window. You might notice: Extra tension in your neck and shoulders from stress or long hours at a desk Lower back pain from standing longer while shopping, cooking, or wrapping presents Stiffness from long car jour

December in Plymouth has a character all its own—bracing sea air, festive lights, and, every now and then, a dramatic weather warning that reminds us just how powerful nature can be. Today is one of those days. The wind is sweeping across the Sound, rain tapping insistently at the windows, and the city seems to settle into a slower, more mindful pace. Inside my clinic, though, it’s warm, calm, and welcoming—an oasis from the storm outside. Why Stormy Weather Can Stir Up Aches

December has its own special charm here in Plymouth—the crisp mornings, festive lights, and cosy evenings all help bring the year to a gentle close. But alongside the excitement of the season, many people begin to feel the physical strain that comes with colder weather, busier schedules, and the rush toward Christmas. At Back To Normal chiropractic clinic, I understand how easily your wellbeing can slip to the bottom of your to-do list at this time of year. Today, I'm sharing

As Plymouth wakes up to a cold November day—and with a weather warning now in place—many of us feel the drop in temperature not just in the air, but in our bodies too. Cold weather can make joints stiffer, muscles tighter, and old aches more noticeable. At times like these, taking extra care of your body becomes especially important. At my Back To Normal Chiropractic Clinic here in Plymouth, I want to help you stay comfortable, mobile, and well throughout the colder months.

As the leaves fall and the mornings grow crisp, November in Plymouth invites us to slow down, reflect, and take care of both our bodies and minds. Today, as we pause for Remembrance Day , we take a moment to honour those who have served — and to remember the importance of care, compassion, and resilience, both in our communities and in ourselves. 🌧️ The Season of Stiff Joints and Sore Backs It’s around this time of year that many of my patients start to feel those familiar a

Happy Tuesday — and Happy Bonfire Night week! 🎇Here in Plymouth, the skies are about to sparkle with fireworks, the air will fill with the scent of toffee apples, and there’s that familiar excitement of autumn celebrations. But while Bonfire Night is a time for fun and festivity, it can also be surprisingly hard work  on your body — and your pets too! Whether you’re standing for hours at a display, lifting logs for a garden bonfire, or simply tensing up at the bangs and pops

Happy Tuesday, everyone! As the autumn leaves turn golden across Plymouth and the air grows a little crisper, many of us start to feel those seasonal changes in more ways than one. Whether it’s the chill in the morning that makes your shoulders hunch or extra hours spent raking leaves and tidying the garden, your body is working hard — and it deserves a little care. 🌿 Listen to Your Body This time of year, it’s common to notice stiffness, aches, or even tension headaches cre

If you’ve ever considered seeing a chiropractor but feel unsure about what actually happens during treatment, you’re not alone. Many people associate chiropractic care with forceful “cracking” sounds and worry it might be uncomfortable. At Back to Normal Chiropractic Clinic in Plymouth , I use the McTimoney method  — a gentle, precise form of chiropractic that focuses on restoring balance to your whole body.
