osteopath will help to establish the cause of the problem and will provide advice on treatment, or refer you for further examinations if required.

Good school bags Children are often required to carry bags full of books, PE kits, musical instruments and other equipment to and from school. Parents should try to limit the weight of school bags as much as possible and invest in a good quality back pack that the child should wear across both shoulders, ideally with a strap across the chest to keep the load close the their body. Packing the bag with the heaviest items (such as laptops and heavy books) closest to child’s body, will also make carrying more comfortable and less likely to strain the muscles of the back.

Limit screen time Looking down to use smart phones, tablets and laptops for an extended period can pull the back and neck into an unnatural posture, resulting in pain. Placing limits on the time spent using devices and encouraging regular breaks may help to avoid problems. If your child has to use a laptop for homework, consider purchasing a support that elevates the screen to a height that allows him or her to sit up straight to look at it.

www.express-press.co.uk t:01926 815935

Regular exercise A sedentary lifestyle is known to contribute to the risk of developing back pain, as well as contributing to obesity. Regular physical activity helps to keep the core muscles that support the spine strong and maintain flexibility, which will help to avoid back pain. Encourage lots of active play, walking, running, swimming, cycling etc to keep your child fit and healthy.

The right bed and pillow Good quality sleep is vital for both physical and mental development. Make sure that your child has a good sized comfortable bed with a firm mattress and a pillow that supports their head without lifting it too high.

relieve their pain. They can also provide lifestyle advice that may help to prevent the problem from coming back.

If the pain or swelling fails to improve within a week, a visit to an osteopath may be beneficial.

They will be able to assess the injury, advise you on the correct treatment and can provide some manual therapy which may help it get better faster.

Osteopathic Treatment for your child’s back pain Your child’s back pain may benefit from osteopathic treatment. Using gentle manual therapy an osteopath will help to resolve any stresses and strains that are affecting their body and

Problem dog?...

No problem! years ago I Many took on a dog that

had lots of behavioural problems and after taking advice from various sources I made lots of changes. Over the next few months the improvement was so dramatic that I wanted to learn more about how dogs learn. I helped out at a local dog training club and after some time found myself dealing with “problem dogs” on a regular basis. This became my specialist area and as a result I was offered a 3 year stint on BBC’s Dog Borstal.

I now help owners with dogs displaying aggression towards people and other dogs, separation anxiety, destructiveness, fear, over excitement and many other problems.

The relationship between a happy dog and their owner is a wonderful thing.

Just ask my five...

I visit lots of owners who have had ‘help’ previously from other behaviourists or trainers but are still having problems. Failure in the past does not mean that the problem cannot

www.express-press.co.uk t:01926 815935 www.expressadvertisers.co.uk

be resolved.

During a Behaviour Consultation I will explore the reasons behind the unwanted behaviour (the cause).

Once I have done this we can change things that have an affect on the way that the dog behaves (the symptom).

For those owners who are about to get a puppy I also do ‘Puppy Home Visits’ which allow the owner to get everything right from the start to avoid problems in the

future. Puppies are learning machines, however they learn the bad stuff as quickly as they learn the good.

The relationship between a happy dog and their owner is a wonderful thing. Just ask my five...

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

You can’t see it, taste it or smell it but it can kill quickly and with no warning.

6 main symptoms to look our for:

Carbon monoxide symptoms are similar to flu, food poisoning, viral infections and simply tiredness. That’s why it’s quite common for people to mistake this very dangerous poisoning for something else.Your symptoms only occur when you are at home and disappear or get better when you leave home and come back on returning with others in your household are experiencing symptoms (including your pets) and they appear at a similar time. If you suspect that you have inhaled carbon monoxide, then go outside and get fresh air immediately. Then, open doors and windows, turn off gas appliances and leave the house. See your doctor immediately or go to hospital - let them know that you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning. They can do a blood or breath test to check.
