Summer? Not as you know it.
Yep, if you blinked you would have missed it. The summer sunshine was a bit hit n miss this year.
It was more hot drinks then hot BBQs. Still when the sun does come out, it’s beautiful. I love the sunshine, gives me a lot of energy.
Since my last newsletter in May a lot has been happening with new ideas and initiatives. I have set up a monthly subscription plan for individuals that have regular maintenance sessions. It’s aptly name DCW’s Maintenance Club. Yeah, I know I’ll win prizes for the best catchy title but it works. The Club is a six month or longer subscription plan. A discount price of £64 paid on the 1st each month. With that you receive one maintenance session in the calendar month, should you need additional treatment then it will be the same discounted price of £64. The Club is ideally suited to individuals already receiving regular maintenance treatments. Click here for further information.
“My weekly visits to Daniela made rapid improvements to my lower back condition as well as relieving neck pain. Consequently I have moved to monthly maintenance appointments which keep me flexible and pain free” Andrew W
Rehabilitation is also a new initiative. I work with individuals who have either had surgery or have been in hospital for a while wanting my help. I offer bespoke 6-8 week rehabilitation course tailored to the person’s needs and goals. It is so rewarding seeing individuals gain their confidence and strength. The sessions are a mixture of hands-on treatment, exercise and mindset. If you know anyone that would benefit from this service let me know.
Oncology massage home visits is another service. Individuals are treated in the comfort of their own home. Treatments are tailored to the person working with their level of tolerance. Treatment consists of therapeutic massage, gentle articulation of joints to improve blood flow, circulation and aids a restful sleep. I am listed on the Oncology Massage Register. Gift vouchers are available for this service.
“Daniela has given me two home-visit cancer massages which have been soothing and effective. She is a trained osteopath which makes all the difference to the quality of her work. But it is Daniela’s calm, generous and comforting manner I find so important. She was in no hurry and quietly let herself out, leaving me in a cloud of duvet where I blissed out. Thank you” Rosie W.
I’ve had many new patients this year coming to me with different ailments and injuries. From shoulder pain, stiff neck, headaches, knee and other joint problems. If you have had a problem/injury don’t delay with seeking treatment, if I can help I will. Often people feel an improvement after their first initial consultation.
“Suffered with chronic calf and lower back discomfort for years, with occasional painful flares ups – last flare up in March 2023 resulted in debilitating pain, and reduced mobility, for over a week, which finally forced me to seek professional help – fortunately found DCW Osteopathy: First visit dramatically cleared pain and increased mobility”. Ian H
My work philosophy is treating the mind, body and spirit. The three are inextricably bound together. I love my job, able to serve and make a positive difference to people’s lives. If you know anyone that needs my help or would benefit from any of the treatments I offer please get in touch.
Lastly, I would like to say thank you to everyone who have shown me kindness and care when my beautiful mum passed away April this year.
Kind Regards

1st of May today. Wow! This year is flying by.
I have just returned from a business retreat set up by my business mentor. It was four days by the bracing South Coast sea to review, recharge and refresh goals.
Several ideas emerged from this retreat, I will be sending out a monthly newsletter giving tips and advice on health and wellbeing plus there will be the occasional money off vouchers too. Win win! If you don’t want to receive this newsletter, and rather OPT-OUT that’s fine. You can unsubscribe at any time. Just thought it would be a good way to keep you informed with what’s happening.
I also have plans to have subscriptions: D’s monthly maintenance club, a catchy title don’t you think? 😀 A regular monthly payment for discounted maintenance sessions, and/or home visits. All in the pipeline, watch this space for further details.
This month is a really hectic for high days and bank holidays; a mixture of commemoration, the Coronation and street party celebration.
To add to the busy month I will be taking a week’s break to recover from a recent personal bereavement I will be away from Sunday 14-21 of May.
If you have any niggles, aches or pains that need addressing, book yourself in now before I go. There are few appointments available on Wednesday and Thursday.
Wishing you good health.
Kind Regards
Daniela
Dear All
Just letting you know that I am back from my ski holiday, very nice it was too. Glad to say no injuries aside bruises on my legs from where the ski lift bashed into me. I’m happy to be back and raring to go.
I have been challenged by my business mentor to get 5 more new patients this week, so if you know anyone that has a niggle, or an injury that I can help with, please send them my way. Thank you!
Aside from being an awesome Osteopath (she says modestly) I also offer:
Sports Massage – a deep tissue massage helping to alleviate muscle soreness, creates a feeling of wellbeing and renewed energy.
Oncology massage – tailored treatment for individuals who have cancer. The massages are soothing, effective and comforting. They take place in the person’s home to maximise their comfort and ease. I am listed in the Oncology Massage Directory. Gift vouchers are available for this service.
Rehabilitation – treating individuals who have musculoskeletal problems and/or mobility issues. Tailored patient-lead plans to help the person attain their goals whether it is to walk along the road or to regain independence. All rehab sessions are home-visits.
Maintenance ‘prehab’ sessions – these are excellent way to help to sustain strength, flexibility, muscle tone and joint function. I have many sportspeople using this service. It helps individuals to be at their optimal health when participating in their chosen sport.
If you know anyone that would benefit from any of these treatments, please encourage them to get in touch. Thank you so much.
I’m not impressed with Spring at the moment it’s so cold. I think I will keep hold of my ski thermals for a little longer.
Keep well and warm.
Kind Regards
Daniela
I’m writing to let you know that I am going away this week Thursday 16th Feb for a few days skiing.
If you have any niggles, aches or pains that need addressing book yourself in now before I go. I have few appointments left on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Alternatively book now for appointments for when I return to work on Monday 27 February.
Oh and if you are like me, going skiing, here is a link to my ski-fit exercises to help strengthen legs ready for the slopes.ski-fit exercises. This video was posted on my Facebook page.
I am loving the sunshine streaming through the window. It feels like Spring. If you can, go outside today, feel the warmth of the sun, top up on the Vitamin D!
Look forward to seeing you in clinic.
Kind Regards
Daniela
I’m Daniela Witten, the Osteopath based at the Connaught Club. You may have seen me wearing my white clinic tunic top in and around the club. My treatment room is located along the balcony above the indoor tennis courts. I have been working at the club for almost a year now. It’s been great.
Although you may have seen me, you may not know what I do, or what is osteopathy? Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions.
I regard myself akin to a body engineer/mechanic, I work out what has happened to you, how and why the injury occurred and then find the best course of treatment to resolve the problem.
I work holistically treating mind body and spirit. By explaining what I think has happened helps alleviate the potential worries and fears a person may have. I work hands-on, using different techniques: soft tissue, traction, stretching, manipulation. Often give follow up exercises to help keep the injury at bay.
My primary aim is to get you back to the things you love to do. I am a strong advocate for empowerment, helping people to help themselves by providing treatment and/or giving advice on exercise so that individuals can recover quickly and be able to lead the life they want.
Anyone at any age can benefit from osteopathy. I treat all sorts of ailments and conditions, sport injuries, ankle, knee, hip, shoulder joint problems, headaches, as well as back pain. My patients vary from young athletes to individuals in their eighties. I am currently rehabilitating an 87 yo who had hip replacement surgery.
You don’t have to have an ache or pain to receive osteopathy treatment. Having regular ‘maintenance’ prehab sessions is an excellent preventative approach it helps to sustain strength, flexibility, muscle tone and joint function. Ideally having these ‘maintenance’ sessions helps individuals to be at their optimal health when participating in their chosen sport or daily life activity.
You can find me working at the club most days, primarily Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9.00am — 8.00pm. Weekend appointments are available by prior arrangement. I also offer home visits to those that are unable to reach the club.
If you would like to talk to me, in confidence, about any health issue or problem please give me a call on 07377 990809. I offer a free 15 min consultation.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2023 Kind Regards
Daniela Witten
2022 was a year of new ventures
February was the month that I started working full-time at the Connaught Tennis Club as a base for my DCW Osteopathy clinic. I have moved my entire practice to Connaught, it is the perfect location for my business. Nestled in the forest, just off Rangers Road, North Chingford. I have been working at the club for almost a year now. It’s brilliant.
You can find me working at the Connaught most days, primarily Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9.00am — 8.00pm. Weekend appointments are available by prior arrangement. I also offer home visits. To book an appointment phone 07377 990809 or alternatively book online

A spin off from working at Connaught I set up a small running group Barn Hoppett Hurriers for ladies that are wanting to regain fitness and/or want to try running. We meet up twice a week Tuesday early morning and Friday lunch-time for a run in the forest. Love this group. I am super proud of all the ladies. Contact me if anyone would like further details.
I sincerely wish you all a happy and healthy 2023
Kind Regards

Hello and Welcome to my first inaugural blog. At last Spring has sprung and everything is bursting into life. I love this time of year.
Finally shrug off the winter coats and explore the great outdoors without having numbed limbs. If you have been dormant for a few months, you might feel stiff and achy as your body acclimatises to a new regime.
Why not book yourself an appointment for spring health check? It is easier to book using my new online booking system which is available on my website dcwosteopathy.uk and my Facebook Page @DCWOsteopathy My Facebook page has varied posts, blogs and videos to help you with your health.
