Christmas Injury Alert
Hey everyone! As we dive into the festive season, let's talk about the number one Christmas injury we see each year.
While wrapping presents can be a joyful part of the holidays, it often leads to unexpected back pain. Imagine sitting on the floor for hours, leaning forward, reaching for the sellotape and scissors... Ouch, right?
Pro Tip: Avoid the agony! Instead of sitting on the floor, try wrapping your gifts at a higher surface like a breakfast bar or even an ironing board. Trust me, your back will thank you!
And, if you're curious why I'm dressed like an angel... it's for our clinic's osteopathic nativity play! Stay tuned for that!

Lower Back Manipulation
Nov 08, 2023
Hey there, it's Michael Brown from Cram Osteopaths in Glasgow! Today, I want to chat about one of the techniques we use in our practice: the lumbar spine manipulation technique. This one might give you a satisfying click or pop, and it's especially beneficial for those dealing with facet joint issues.
You may have seen us diagnose these conditions in our previous videos, but I thought it'd be great for you to experience it from a patient's perspective before visiting us. If you're dealing with one of these conditions, this technique could be just what you need.
Now, let's talk about those clicks and pops you might hear during the procedure. Some patients might feel a little anxious about these sensations, while others absolutely love it. No worries, it's a gentle process. You don't need a dramatic event with excessive clicking and popping. Our techniques here at Cram osteopaths are gentle and effective.
From this position, the osteopath determines...
Stress Awareness Week
Nov 02, 2023
Hello from Cram Osteopaths in Glasgow! This week, it's International Stress Awareness Week, and we want to address how stress affects our shoulders and posture.
Stress can manifest differently in everyone, often leading to poor posture and shoulder tension. If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, you're not alone.
Here's a quick tip: Use doorways as a cue to improve your posture. Every time you walk through one, straighten up, roll your shoulders back, and stand tall. Give it a try, and share your variations with us!
Take care of your shoulders and reduce stress

What does shockwave therapy treat?
Oct 18, 2023
Shockwave therapy is specifically designed to tackle those persistent, nagging tendon injuries that just don't seem to go away. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, jumper's knee, trochanteric fasciitis, shoulder tendonopathies, calcific tendonitis, Achilles tendonopathy, tennis elbow, and golfer's elbow fall into this category. They can be incredibly stubborn and resistant to conventional treatments as they progress into chronic phases.
If you've exhausted all your options, from exercises to hands-on treatments, steroid injections, or even tried things like GTM patches, and you're still grappling with discomfort and pain, then shockwave therapy might be the solution you've been searching for.
Here at Cram Osteopaths, we specialize in focused and radial shockwave therapy, and it's available at all our locations. If you're intrigued by this treatment and still battling pain and discomfort, don't hesitate to reach out. We'd be thrilled to assist you on your path to...
