Back Care Awareness Week 2025!

October 21, 2025/in News/by admin

Did you know that simple daily habits can drastically reduce your risk of back pain and musculoskeletal issues?

Here are 7 things you can do every day:

Stand, stretch, stride – every 30 minutes

Mind your posture while sitting, standing, or walking

Get moving – walking, yoga, pilates, swimming

Lift with care – bend your knees, not your back

Stay hydrated – water helps spinal discs stay healthy

Manage stress – relax your muscles with exercise, nature, or hobbies

Prioritise sleep – support your back with the right position and routine

For more details on how to support your back health, visit https://ow.ly/OfO150XamzR

Encourage your colleagues or family to follow these tips and protect their back health every day!

Stiff shoulders? Tight hips? An achy back after work?

You’re not alone – and the right stretches can help.

As part of Back Care Awareness Week, the British Chiropractic Association are sharing practical stretches tailored to your job.

These simple movements can:

Reduce stiffness and pain

Improve posture

Keep your back healthy in the long run

You’ll find the full instructions and more resources on the BCA website: https://chiropractic-uk.co.uk/stand-stretch-stride…

Did you know it takes 5 years of full-time study to become a registered Chiropractor?

April 16, 2024/in News/by admin

Did you know that UK Chiropractors complete a four-year full time university degree course followed by a year of supervised practice meaning it takes 5 years of study to qualify as a government registered chiropractor ?

They must also complete 30 hours of compulsory continuing professional development (CPD) every year to ensure that they are up to date with current research – this allows them to use the protected title of “Chiropractor.” Our registered Chiropractor Catherine Owers qualified in 2002 with a First Class Honours degree in Chiropractic from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic then received her “Doctor of Chiropractic” certificate the following year.

This infographic gives more information about UK Chiropractic education standards:
