Anybody who knows me will agree I’m a serious fan of a good nap. There is no strict definition of when a nap becomes a siesta or a full sleep, but I’m happy with a power nap for 20 minutes on the train, a snooze in a park, a full hour again in bed on a chilly afternoon, or even by a pool within the solar, weather permitting.

In case you come and see your osteopath (me!) on a Sunday, have a nap after your therapy, it’s much more relaxing that approach than sprinting off back to work or to pick up the children. Sunday osteopathy appointments can be found (pre or publish-nap) from 11.00-17.00 at Pure Stability Therapies in Hove.
