As the height of summer approaches here in Guildford, with longer days and the promise of holidays and outdoor adventures, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement. However, this season of fun often brings with it an unexpected guest: increased aches and pains! From enthusiastic gardening to long drives for staycations, and from newfound sporting pursuits to simply spending more time on your feet, summer activities can put a surprising amount of strain on your spine and joints.

At Guildford Spine Centre, we celebrate this seasonal surge of energy. But we also know it comes with a catch—an increase in those pesky twinges, strains, and “I-slept-funny” pains that can interrupt your fun. That’s why we’re here to guide you through a safe, active, and spine-friendly summer.

Let’s be real—headaches are the absolute worst. Whether it’s that dull throb that creeps in mid-morning or the full-blown tension headache that sidelines your weekend, they mess with your day, your focus, and your ability to function. Add in the aches and pains from your weekend football match or midweek tennis league, and you’ve got a recipe for a grumpy, not-so-high-performing you.

But here’s the good news: your body isn’t broken—it’s just asking for help. And that’s where we come in.
