Thoughtful Thursday - June 24th

We are back again – cannot believe how quickly that has come around. This week’s edition has the unveiling of the new ‘Refer a Friend’ offer from July 12th, a reminder to check out our latest Pod if you haven’t already, and Michael introduces the last of the lumbar spine.

Clinic Updates
Not a lot to go through this week. Again, please be diligent on timekeeping when you come to see us or if you need to reschedule, please give us a call.

We’ll have a few new faces popping up around the clinics, running the front desks and joining the chiro and physical therapy/massage teams, so hopefully they don’t frighten you too much! Also need to give a farewell shout to CA Dan from Putney who has left us to build his PT and fitness business in North London – thanks for your help mate, and please contact Putney if you would like to see him for some training.

Holidays & Changes
Tooting: Michael is taking a well-earned break, off from June 30th and back on the July 20th.
Kew: Are here and helping you all!
Fulham: Mike is pinching a long weekend from July 2nd and back on the 6th.
Marylebone: All hands on deck!
Putney: Bryan is back in clinic. Craig is off from July 10th and back at some point in August, and we are hoping we may have a very special cameo from someone to look after you all while he is off – watch this space!

Podcasts
The Chiro.London Pod, proudly fuelled by Ground Coffee Society, is a reminder of last week’s awesome chat with the Profeet team. Really interesting stuff.

You can also check out the greatest hits on our website, Spotify, Apple and Google.

Vertebra of the Week
Michael’s spinal tour is coming to an end, and we have just two more segments to discover after today. You can check out everything so far on the website or via Bailey’s awesome boards on social!

I think it’s time to do another learning prize… so comment on one of Bailey’s boards by tagging a friend and telling them one fact about the vertebra, and we will pick one winner per clinic next week who will win an adjustment for themselves on me and a complimentary initial consultation for their tagged friend!

And without further ado, here’s the last of the lumbar...

L5
Ahh, that unpleasant feeling of a cold foot touching you while you are nice and snug, about to go to sleep… If socks aren't working to warm your feet, it might be something related to your nerves.

L5 means we're now at the 24th spinal vertebra. The nerves from the bottom of your lower back (L5 vertebra especially) do travel all the way to your feet and toes. So if there is an issue with cold feet due to circulation problems, swollen ankles and leg cramps, this could be caused by the nerves in this area. Even weak ankles and arches can be related, because when the nerves do not function properly, the muscles will lose their tone.

Shameless Plug of the Week
Refer a friend is changing…

We’ve been mentioning this for the last couple of weeks but now the mystery can be revealed…

Our current ‘Refer a Friend’ offering, which gives 50% off an initial consultation for whomever you refer in and scores you 50% off your next visit, will be changing from Monday, 12th July.

From that date onwards, we will be offering £20 off a chiropractic initial consultation and £20 off your next treatment at your next visit (all the same T&Cs will apply).

So if you would like to snag a bargain before we change it to something a bit more sensible, please send in anyone you think may need our help! Provided they have called us and booked their appointment by Sunday, July 11th, we will still honour this for you (even if the appointment is scheduled after July 11th).

I am actually attempting to pinch some time off over next couple of weeks, so these newsletters may be a short and sharp moving forward. Have a good one and see you soon.
