Hi my name is Susannah Makram. I live and work as an osteopath and naturopath in London, Knightsbridge where practical comfort, elegance and style are a part of day to day city life. I travel for work  making it routine.

My other skills include trying out product and packing super quick! I move a lot in my job and like to shop. Looking my best, moving well, dressing well all feel great. That foundation is more important. Health is wealth. Here are some of my best iconic designer luxury handbags for you to invest in this year.

TUMI

tumi Carson back pack leather 

Super happy to see Tumi in leather. This is in the new voyageur  collection. It weighs around 3lbs and it’s got all the pockets you need. Most importantly is it not only fits a tablet but any macbook.

I love that is have a lot of zips, the label is discreet, you can hand hold it as its chic outer look is look is leather.

PRADA – men’s leather suitcase

If it’s Prada it’s got to be Italian leather for quality. I wouldn’t invest in anything less. It’s also the best thing about Prada. The leather and craftsmanship is simple, classic and no fuss straight-to-business.

Best luxury business bags

Louis Vuitton Armand Briefcase 

With its finely crafted details, the Armand Briefcase in full-grain Taurillon leather is the very definition of business chic. As practical as it is elegant, it boasts multiple compartments, including a large zipped compartment in which to carry your laptop.

The product details state there’s one internal iPad pocket but I can attest that a mac book air fits nicely inside.

Alfred Dunhill Duke Double Document case 

I’ll admit it, the only thing that’s off-key for me with this gorgeous, compliant, sack of leather is the burgundy or tan. I am so black on black with my accessories, it’s unreal. Or I swing the Dolce Gabbana way. Or a statement red or pink, balenciaga style.

So this might be the bag I’ll recommend for my stylish colleague, client or friend. Or may be I’ll have a chat to Mark Weston. The elegant calfskin will hold your business itinerary and drop to a neat puddle by o desk or under the seat in front you (if you’re like me) with aplomb.

Tod’s Travel Bag Medium in Leather

The removable strap and iconic rubber pebbles on the bottom are both smart and super elegant. Tod’s Travel Mag in leather comes in black so that’s a second personal bonus.

The dimensions carry a macbook and the folding of the main zip facing down is a really nice touch. It say’s men’s but really it’s unisex. The Italian leather as well as removable strap to replace handles can attest to that.

How to fix scoliosis

How to fix scoliosis

Here’s how to fix scoliosis when you know what’s scoliosis exactly. If you have it, you need to know who can help. By fixing it are you getting rid of curvatures forever or only dealing with pain if there is any. We’re covering it all in one go.

Scoliosis Categories

Scoliosis is any abnormal sideways curvature of the spine measuring at least 10 degrees on an x-ray. Extreme cases of scoliosis can be disabling, causing lung and heart complications. The general categories are structural scoliosis and nonstructural or functional scoliosis.

Structural vs. Nonstructural Scoliosis

Here are two general categories for scoliosis:

  • Structural scoliosis is by far the most common category of scoliosis. It involves spinal rotation in addition to the side-to-side curvature of the spine. This type of scoliosis affects the spine’s structure and is considered permanent unless the spine receives treatment.
  • Nonstructural scoliosis, also known as functional scoliosis, results from a temporary cause and only involves a side-to-side curvature of the spine (no spinal rotation). The spine’s structure is still normal.

When we do an orthopaedic standing exam at Susannah Makram clinics for osteopathy we are looking at the scoliosis curve in motion. If a client with nonstructural scoliosis or functional scoliosis bends forward or lies down, the scoliosis curve will likely disappear for as long as this position is held.
Structural scoliosis is typically considered more serious because it doesn’t straighten out on its own and can potentially result in more spinal deformity.

scoliosis and osteopathy

how to fix scoliosis

 

Common Causes of Nonstructural Scoliosis

While non-structural scoliosis is relatively uncommon, here are some ways it can occur:

  • Muscle spasms. If a major muscle in the back starts to spasm, the spine can be pulled in one direction and a sideways curve may result.
  • Difference in leg heights. This is when one leg is significantly longer than the other – either by bone length, pelvic positioning (therefore in appearance etc. In either instance a scoliosis curve may be present while standing.
  • Inflammation. This is when an area of the body to one side of the spine or the other starts to become inflamed. Cupping massage with hot and cold therapy can be extremely helpful to reduce inflammation. Where present a scoliosis curve can result. Some possible extreme causes could be of inflammation can be appendicitis or pneumonia.
scoliosis exercise

Scoliosis and Osteopathy

Signs of Scoliosis can include:
• Uneven musculature on one side of the spine
• Rib prominences or prominent shoulder blade, caused by rotation of the rib cage in Thoracic scoliosis (mid back)
• Uneven hips, arms (shoulders) or leg length

How to fix scoliosis that is non structural scoliosis is quite common with osteopathy. We tend to find this with muscle imbalance any way. Sometimes it’s very small and barely noticeable. You can learn about ways to maintain a better posture to keep your functional scoliosis at bay after osteopathic treatment.

Osteopathic approach to scoliosis

Osteopathy can help when looking into how to fix scoliosis. We’re asked how to fix scoliosis without surgery often in clinic. Contact us for your healthy journey outlook for using osteopathy and exercises for scoliosis.
Treating Scoliosis at Susannah Makram Clinics – osteopathy and Scoliosis.

osteopathy and scoliosis

osteopathy and scoliosis

How much does your scoliosis affect your day to day movements and functions? Osteopathy with Susannah can help by reducing inflammation often created by small tears in overused muscle fibres with scoliosis using cupping massage combined with cyrotherapy.

Also, mobilising the thoracic spine (mid back), sternum, ribs, shoulders and associated muscles by gentle but precise traction and stretching.

Working into the fascia to stretch the diagram, and hip muscles, actively and passively to regain lost muscle memory and also lumbar spine. trying to increase the range of movement in both areas.

Reverse scoliosis with exercise

Mobilisation of the pelvis is also be necessary to aid leg length and in turn, help straighten the lower back and further up the spine. This is best when worked into day to day gym or exercise programmes of the client. At Susannah Makram Clinics we personalise dynamic movement strength training according to the client

Shin Splints

Posted on: by Susannah No Comments

Shin splints definition

Shin splints are an overuse injury of the origin of the tibialis posterior muscles. There is micro-bleeding at the junction between the bone cover (periosteum) and muscle origin. Our posture before we begin exercising is a springboard to encourage healing. Optimising our posture supports the return from rest to exercise. Then you can establish shin splints recovery. You can supply the missing link between the initial healing stages of an injury like shin splints, normal (or even improved) function and performance. Find out more.

What causes shin splints?

Excessive running with faulty alignment in the lower leg is the most common cause. Shin splints, also known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS),  are an overuse injury.

shin splints pain

shin splits pain

Symptoms of shin splints i.e. what you notice

  • Pain – usually on the inside of the shin bone (tibia) extending over a length of 10-20cm. The pain usually comes on gradually and is worse with running.
  • If the pain is a focal pain (i.e. all the pain is over a 1-2cm area) then it is possible you have a stress fracture, rather than periostitis.
  • Compartment syndrome is when the pain is concentrated in the muscles rather than the bone-muscle junction.

Shin splints

For shin pain not shin splints it’s a good idea to attend a consultation and find out if shin splints treatment can work for you.

Investigations required to confirm shin splints

Usually none are required. If a stress fracture is suspected, then an x-ray may confirm this if symptoms have been present for longer than a month. Otherwise, a bone scan or CT scan is needed. Compartment pressure studies can help confirm a diagnosis of compartment syndrome. Compartment syndrome occurs when injury causes generalised painful swelling and increased pressure within a compartment. This is up to the point that blood cannot supply the muscles and nerves with oxygen and nutrients.

low back pain exercises

osteopathy

Immediate Treatment

  • First aid – an ice pack or ice massage can be helpful after painful activity.
  • Mechanical correction of over-pronating feet is essential. A podiatry referral may be recommended but this depends on the individual.
  • Osteopathy, including myofascial release and a muscle rehabilitation problem
  • Surgery is only required for confirmed compartment syndrome or very severe cases of periostitis lasting many months.

Recovery time

Average recovery time is 2-4 weeks for periostitis, 6-8 weeks for stress fracture and several months for compartment syndrome.
Avoiding reoccurrence is key.

Recovery sequence, treatment and with osteopathy with Susannah

  • Step 1 Ice packs and osteopathic treatment to correct posture as there will be an overuse mauscle pattern throughout the spine, pelvis and hips as well
  • Step 2 Myofascial release and foot and ankle mobilisation to change movement pattern and aid muscle rehabilitation.
  • Step 3 Continue swimming and cycling, and only restart running, they say after at least two weeks when symptoms have settled but it varies from individual body to body. Starting on grass initially is a good idea.
  • Step 4 Dynamic posture training to enhance running routine and prevent recurrence of injury

Frozen Shoulder Treatment

Frozen Shoulder Causes

If you’ve ever wondered “what’s frozen shoulder pain like?” Can I have frozen shoulder treatment at home? You probably need to check in with our osteopath specialist Susannah. Osteopathy with Susannah for frozen shoulder works to reduce pain and improve mobility. The anatomy of the shoulder makes it the most mobile joint of the body. This helps explain the causes of frozen shoulder from an osteopath’s view. At Susannah Makram Clinics London we provide clients with frozen shoulder symptoms, both knowledge and understanding of how symptoms of immobility and pain can be improved.

causes frozen shoulder

causes frozen shoulder

The bones, ligaments and tendons that make up our shoulder joint are encased in a capsule of connective tissue. Frozen shoulder occurs when this capsule thickens and tightens around the shoulder joint, restricting its movement. These are the first signs of frozen shoulder.

Doctors aren’t sure why this happens to some people and not to others. Like the frozen shoulder pain down arm query, it’s not straightforward. This is why osteopathy works differently for management of frozen shoulder pain symptoms. We will outline how next. Although Doctors aren’t sure, it’s more likely to occur in people who recently had to immobilise their shoulder for long periods of time e.g. after surgery or upper body fracture. Also, more susceptible to frozen shoulder symptoms are people with a history of diabetes, thyroid disorders, tuberculosis, cardiovascular disease and Parkinsons.

Frozen Shoulder Symptoms

Frozen shoulder symptoms typically develop slowly and in three stages. What are the first signs of frozen shoulder?

  • Freezing shoulder stage: Any movement of the shoulder causes pain and  shoulder range of motion starts to become limited.
  • Frozen shoulder stage: Pain may begin to diminish during this stage. However, the shoulder becomes stiffer. Using the shoulder also at this the frozen shoulder stage becomes more difficult.
  • Thawing stage. Range of shoulder motion shoulder starts to improve.

Each of the the three developmental stages can last a number of months.

frozen shoulder treatment

Frozen shoulder treatment

As an osteopath Susannah views the entire body’s interaction with the shoulder. How the shoulder interacts in day to day movements, in stillness or semi stillness i.e. seated postures, as well as sleeping postures. The over and underuse of small muscles and their attachments into the spine and surrounding structures or attachments, such as the rib cage can be manipulated by touch.

With gentle and precise pressure, the diaphragm and accessory muscles of breathing, can be stretched. Tension in the diaphragm can be worked on directly and also the fascial attachments, by alleviating tension throughout the sternum and intercostal musculature. This is according to change  breathing patterns in movement and in rest.

To summarise how Susannah works, it’s by changing posture patterns that contributed to the cause or directly caused the symptoms of frozen shoulder, at any stage. Frozen shoulder treatment at home by giving advise for frozen should exercises is an important part of our care.

Osteopathy with Susannah Makram for frozen shoulder works because the shoulder’s movement in relation to the body is key to getting long-term results. Osteopathy with Susannah works differently.

Frozen shoulder treatment identifies why the symptoms persist and from where in order to alleviate pain and restore range of movement. Susannah assesses how the body as a whole is reacting to the changes in the shoulder joint affected and whether the frozen shoulder is a reaction to changed movement patterns in the lower limbs, e.g. hips and pelvis; or in breathing mechanisms; or the spine over all. For example, the resting position of the shoulder joint is affected by restrictions in mobility or structural or postural changes in the spine, as well as larger muscle or soft tissue tension or tightness.

Magnesium Salt Baths For Health

Magnesium Salt Baths For Health

Most of us also have too much calcium in our bodies, relative to our magnesium levels. This is mainly from fortified foods and imbalanced soils. Magnesium is essential to nearly 300 biochemical reactions in our body. Most people are deficient in Magnesium… in fact, you probably are too. 

We’re eating food cultivated from soils depleted of minerals like magnesium. Conventional fertilisers use nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and do nothing to replenish magnesium levels.

organic farming

organic farming

We’re drinking water depleted of magnesium. Fluoride in drinking water binds with magnesium, creating a nearly insoluble mineral compound that ends up deposited in the bones. Its brittleness increases the risk of fractures. Many bottled mineral waters are quite low in magnesium, or have a very high concentration of calcium, or both.

So how can we take Magnesium salt baths for health? A relaxing way to raise your magnesium sulfate level is to take Epsom salt baths or foot baths. Transdermal absorption of magnesium has been used to increase magnesium levels and bypass gastrointestinal absorption. 20mins is recommended but you can get a more detailed recommendation by report here.
