I’m handing over the writing to Lisa today, our Digestive Health Expert as she addresses a common question. Take it away, Lisa! I get asked this question with regularity and so I thought I would just put it out there as to what the big differences are. Professional colonics differ quite a lot from colemas and other enemas. A Colema is a milder yet harsher form of cleaning the colon.…
In my newsletter last week I went through a detailed description of injections for knee pain which prompted more questions about options. (Don’t forget you can sign up over there on the left!) I thought I’d follow up with more detail about the physio route, as that’s my personal preference (obviously!). All backed by modern science I should add. Images aren’t necessary unless there’s something odd (we call them red…
Well this is a rare day for me – excited about a surgeon! As you know I’m not a big advocate of surgery – the last resort not the first option! But occasionally I find one that I feel I can genuinely recommend, that’s really doing the best for their patient with the minimum of recovery. I introduced him here last year but then this little thing called Covid kind…
Lisa is taking the reins today talking about her favourite specialist subject – your bowels! Yup, our Digestive Health Expert gives her top tips to relieve constipation. Did you know that in an ideal world you should have two to three bowel movements a day, one for each main meal, and that they should be inoffensive in odour?

Well, here we go again! As of midnight this morning (Wednesday 27 January) Marbella enters Level 4, Grade 2 (Nivel 4, Grado 2) for 14 days, until 10 February. Which means all non-essential businesses must close completely. Fortunately we are a health clinic and are therefore considered essential! So all appointments that you have booked at the clinic can still be attended. Emmie can send you a “justificante” in nice…
Well, we made it to December! And the holiday season for so many of us. As you will no doubt be aware, the holiday season in Spain extends until the Three Kings or Reyes Magos celebration on 6 January. More celebrations! During this period the clinic will be open by appointment whenever you need us. But, if nobody does because you are feeling far too lovely enjoying the celebrations, then…
Giving birth may be a wonderful experience but it is without a doubt, one of the hardest things you will ever ask your body to do. And it comes after 9 months of your body doing extraordinary things and undergoing extraordinary changes.
