Young Minds is the UK's leading charity championing the wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. Driven by their experience, Young Minds creates change so that children and young people can cope with life's adversities, find help when needed and succeed in life.

As an osteopath health professional for over 34 Years, people of all ages (7 to 90 plus) come an initial assessment appointment, often worried and in some distress. A major factor in health and recovery is mental attitude to life. Maintaining a positive mindset is hard when suffering pain and disability. This is something, as we work with the individual, we explore as part of our care plan.

We often need to assist our patients, of all ages, mentally by being a "coach" to help them move forwards. Motivation and self awareness are skills can be built on as move through life at any age!

Having a harder and challenging start in life, can make it really tough to move forwards especially when the body fails and puts us under even more pressure. This often strikes - like an apparently out of the blue back pain!

This is one big reason we support the work of young minds!

Starting early and looking after the Young mind, can only be a good thing!

We first supported them 20 years ago with sponsored events and collections!
