Back Care Awareness Week 2013: Caring for Carers
The UK is home to 7 million unpaid carers. These are people who provide regular, ongoing support and assistance to an ailing or disabled family member, friend or neighbour on a voluntary basis.
They represent an unpaid and often invisible workforce that saves the Government a staggering £119 billion every year – more than the Government’s entire annual NHS expenditure.
Due to the nature of their role, unpaid carers are often exposed to higher than usual levels of physical and emotional stress which puts their own health at risk.
Many carers help the person they care for with physical tasks, such as getting in and out of the bed, bath or chairs. Without advice and training in safe technique, the carer may be putting undue ‘biomechanical’ stress on their own bodies.
In addition to this, the role of carer, especially when caring for a spouse or close family member, can create unique emotional stresses. Both parties can struggle with issues such as dependency and loss, as they try to adapt to the changing relationship.
Over 70% the UK’s unpaid carers now suffer from back pain, and are a greater risk of developing chronic pain, which is highly disabling in a third of cases and life-long for the majority.
BackCare is working to help the UK’s unpaid carers with the launch of a national campaign called ‘Caring for Carers’ during this year’s BackCare Awareness Week (7-11th October 2013).
The week will kick off with a radio day of live interviews on regional and national stations to raise awareness of the key issues. BackCare will be distributing a campaign pack featuring educational materials, including the Carer’s Guide and DVD.
The campaign is being run in collaboration with several organisations, including Carer’s Trust, Arc Learning, Guideposts Trust, Carers of Epsom, Action for Carers and the White Lodge Centre.
BackCare members and partners will also be running local events up and down the country in clinics and carer centres to coordinate with the campaign. To learn more about BackCare please visit www.backcare.org.uk, email info@backcare.org.uk or call 020 8977 5474

When we try to maintain control, we find that our field of vision and awareness of possibilities become progressively constricted and we are less and less open to new and better ideas.
We can feel this constriction in our bodies.
If we recognise this we can take steps to reduce this in our daily lives!
“One’s life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.”
List at least four ways you have been good to yourselves this month, such as eating regularly, getting enough sleep at least one night a week, or doing at least one thing we didn’t have to do that we really enjoyed….
This is an acupuncture technique where by a small electrical current is passed between needles which have been inserted in specific acupuncture points.
Effectiveness of Electro Acupuncture

We hope that you are enjoying the wonderful weather? A warm invitation to returning to outdoor activities, whether that’s in the garden, on your bike or even training for a triathlon? With this often comes injury and those niggling aches and pains. We have found Kinesiology taping an effective tool when used alongside our treatments and many patients who we have already taped are coming back for more!! So what is this “magic tape”?
Kinesiology tape is a specialist tape developed by Dr.Kenzo Kase in Japan more than 25 years ago. It is designed to help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, relax muscles and improve performance. You’ve probably seen it on television, it’s used in many sports, especially at the Olympics & The London Marathon, and our view is that if elite athletes feel that it works then there must be something to it. We have had particular success using it as part of the treatment on shoulder and knee injuries, lower back pain and neck pain. We use it in conjunction with a normal osteopathic treatment although it can also be used on it”s own in a preventative way for sports injuries such as shin splints and knee problems and to maintain the benefits of the osteopathic treatment long after your appointment. It can also be used to enhance a movement rather than a muscle. This is called power taping and is used to increase endurance and performance.For more information on how Kinesiology Tape could help you, make an appointment or have a look at our website to find out how osteopathy could help you.http://www.natural-healthworks.com.
If you would like to try Kinesiology taping on it’s own to see how it may work for you we can offer this to existing patients for £15 for one area of the body. It only takes about 10 minutes Please give us a call if you have any queries.

“No life is so hard that you can’t make it easier by the way you take it”
There is absolutely nothing that makes our lives more difficult than taking on the attitude of “victim”.
Just take a few moments to see where you might have slipped into the victim role and
see what you can do about it.
Nothing is ever wasted, unless we waste it – time, money, our love, our thinking, ourselves.
It is up to us!
Life is a process, not an event!
