Exercise of the Month

March Exercise

The clam exercise is good for hip, lower back and knee pain.

Lie on your right side with your right arm extended above your head. Your shoulders and hips should be in alignment with one another and there should be a little space underneath your waist. Maintain a neutral spine. Breathe in, as you breathe out apply a little pressure to the lower leg, externally rotate your hip. Take a breathe in and drop your leg down. Remember to keep your pelvic and shoulders stabilised and in alignment.

Repeat this five times and then switch sides.

Our Patients

“Paul examines me; he knows exactly what’s wrong and fixes the problem. Paul knows the body so well it gives me peace of mind, his treatment quality is 100% and having a background in dance is the perfect combination. Paul has definitely extended the longevity of my dance career.”

— Ms Angela Towler, Principal Dancer Ballet Rambert

“Paul Morrissey has treated me for over 20 years; initially for sports related injuries and more recently as part of my self maintenance regime.
Over the years, Paul has attained an enviable level of osteopathic skill and acuity so he quickly identifies an issue and treats it immediately (or recommends a course of action). His knowledge of pilates means Paul can effortlessly recommend appropriate remedial exercises, and these have helped me to remain active in the past.”
