It is necessary for you to complete The Health Screening Form before your consultation so that I am aware of details about your general health. This is to ensure I provide appropriate treatment and advice.

Health Screening Form 

In order to save time during your consultation, you are welcome to download and print this out to read and complete prior to your consultation with me.

Many people with painful long term joint or back conditions can become less active. This pain sends them on a downward spiral. Reduced activity leads to weight gain, which leads to further joint pain and then restriction of movement.

As part of my osteopathic service, I can help you overcome these problems by increasing your activity in a managed way as well as monitoring your weight for no extra charge.

If you would like help with reducing your weight, we can discuss what you eat on a daily basis and the time you eat it during a typical day. I will ask you to record it in a FOOD DIARY. This gives us a starting point to discuss what changes may need to be made in your daily eating pattern when we compare it to NATIONAL DIETARY GUIDELINES.

We will look at your diet to make sure you are getting the best vitamins and minerals necessary for optimum bone and joint health.

Bringing your weight down will reduce stress on your joints and lead to less pain.

We can monitor your progress using a BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSER , which calculates your:

• Bone and Muscle Mass
• Basal Metabolic Rate
• % Body Fat

One way to help you become more active and improve your posture and walking gait is through NORDIC WALKING TECHNIQUE

Another part of my service to clients is free blood pressure check-ups.

I can also give advice on how to change your diet and lifestyle to encourage a healthy blood pressure measurement.

I register annually with Blood Pressure UK to take part in their “Know Your Numbers” campaign to encourage members of the public to get their blood pressure checked. Every September during ‘Blood Pressure Week’, I register the clinic to become one of the recognised “Blood Pressure Stations” in the UK. This is to invite members of the public to come and get their blood pressure checked. Undiagnosed high blood pressure can be a silent killer so I encourage anyone, who doesn’t know what their blood pressure is, to get a free check during one of the organised ‘walk in’ blood pressure clinics I offer.

Alongside weight and blood pressure analysis, I offer clients the opportunity to have a BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS using a medically approved and yearly calibrated Tanita Body Composition Analyser.

This analyser provides accurate body composition results (such as body fat percentage and body fat mass) using the latest advanced Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology.

This gives you a true indicator of your inner health.

With regular check-ups we can monitor your progress as you try to improve your health and wellbeing through exercise, diet and lifestyle.

BODY FAT PERCENTAGE AND BODY FAT MASS

Body Fat Percentage is the proportion of fat to the total body weight. Body Fat Mass is the actual weight of fat in your body.

Body fat is essential for maintaining body temperature, cushioning joints and protecting internal organs.

The energy (or calories) that our body needs comes from what we eat and drink. Energy is burned through physical activity and general bodily functions. If you consume the same number of calories as you burn, all the calories are converted into energy. But if you consume more than you burn, excess calories are stored in fat cells. If this stored fat is not converted into energy later, it creates excess body fat.

Too much fat can damage your long-term health.

Reducing excess levels of body fat has been shown to directly reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.

Too little body fat is also undesirable as this may lead to osteoporosis in later years, irregular periods in women and possible infertility.

Using this analyser, I can offer you advice and support to improve your diet and activity levels to bring your body composition measurements into normal healthy levels.

One of my particular passions is working in the Wilmslow community and especially with local Wilmslow care homes and their residents.

I offer a Wilmslow care home osteopathic service to the older adult community, especially those within warden control flats or independent living care homes.

These are for people who can’t get out to my clinic and perhaps find the physical effort to get out and come to me is just too much.

I have previously done work with the local Wilmslow community. I have undergone specific training to help and advise those with DISABILITY AND STABLE MEDICAL CONDITIONS to exercise safely.

I offer a portable Wilmslow care home osteopath consultation service, bringing with me a treatment table and anything else I need to treat older adults in their own homes. I treat them in their own environment where they feel safe and familiar.

Perhaps you have parents in a care home setting, either independent living or council run in the Wilmslow area?

I have also been trained in CHAIR BASED EXERCISE  to be able to provide a 1 hour weekly seated exercise class in the Wilmslow community for a minimal charge per person based in a main care home lounge where I go through all the joints to get them moving in a seated position and get the residents moving about.

It’s an easy exercise routine to follow each time so that they learn the movements and can do it for themselves at other times if they need to.

The idea is that they don’t need to wait for another week before I come back – whenever they feel stiff or haven’t moved, they can do the exercises I have taught them.

CONTACT ME if you’re interested in getting something organised for your family member and I can speak to the care home involved.

Social activity is good for their memory, learning something new to add to their daily routine, plus the exercises help with coordination and building muscle mass.

My seated exercise class helps with fall prevention too.

Older adults can fall because they feel unsteady. This can happen if they’re spending a lot of time sitting and then need to get up to use the toilet, for example, they can have a drop in blood pressure.

I teach them to get their body moving a little bit before they need to get up. Get them into the habit of getting their system moving first – a few calf pump exercises particularly – to help prepare their body into getting up. This then stops them from feeling wobbly and falling, stumbling or losing their footing.

If you would like a free chat about how I could help your Wilmslow care home residents with their mobility, please call 01625 533813  / 07547 631679

My name is Julia Kinsey and I’ve been an osteopath for 25 years.

I’m from a medical family and always wanted a career in healthcare, but I didn’t really want to do it in a hospital setting.

Instead, I wanted to be community based and have the freedom to offer people more time to help them, so they don’t feel like they are on a waiting list or a conveyor belt of care.

I graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 1991 and became an Associate Osteopath in a practice in Cambridge. Since 1999, I’ve lived and worked in Wilmslow as an Osteopath in my own clinic.

My passion is to treat clients in a 1:1 setting without a hurried consultation time.

This means we have the opportunity to discuss your concerns in a relaxed setting and also deal with any other factors that come up through the consultation.

Throughout my career, I’ve had lots of experience working with different therapists and clinics, as well as working in my own clinic.

My other passion is working out in the community, offering treatments and Seated Exercise Classes to those in residential and care homes in the Wilmslow area.

Over the years I’ve been in practice, I’ve seen people of all ages and occupations.

It may be surprising, but I’ve found that manual work and heavy lifting are not the major causes of the pain that many people see me about.

My most frequent patients are those in the 35-55 age group with occupations that mean they remain seated most of the day.

Prolonged sitting without proper back support and desks set up in the wrong position can result in repetitive strain to areas of the spine. This, combined with wear and tear changes that happen in the spine in this age range, starts to take its toll resulting in aches and pains.

I am AXA PPP and BUPA registered.

I’m also registered with the GENERAL OSTEOPATHIC COUNCIL (GOsC) , which regulates all osteopaths to ensure we maintain a strict code of professional conduct and continue to update and refresh our knowledge.

Why don’t you contact me to let me know what is concerning you?
