Signing off the year with gratitude (and a little advice!)

Published 1 December 2025

As the year comes to a close, I want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you. On behalf of the whole Hub team, I’m deeply grateful to every one of you who has placed your trust in our care this year. Whether you came to see us for treatment, joined one of our classes, or simply followed along with our updates, you are the reason we do what we do 😊 

It has been another busy, rewarding year at the Hub. We’ve celebrated patient milestones, welcomed new practitioners, and seen countless examples of resilience and progress. What makes it so special for us is not just the treatments or the exercise sessions, but the conversations, the laughter, and the shared determination to keep moving well. For all of that, we thank you.

The reality of December

The weeks leading up to the holidays can feel like a sprint. Work deadlines loom, social events multiply, and family plans fill the diary. Even the most dedicated routines start to wobble, with later nights, richer food and less time for exercise or recovery. 

We know this because we feel it too. Here at the Hub we’re also ready for a short breather, which is why we close between Christmas and New Year. Taking a pause gives us the chance to recharge and return refreshed in January – and we encourage you to give yourself permission to do the same! 

A little advice for the end of the year

Since many of you tell us that December feels overwhelming, here are a few small ways to protect your energy and avoid those aches and niggles creeping in: 

1. Move in snippets – Even a few minutes of walking, stretching or mobility makes a difference. Try a brisk lunchtime walk or some stretches while the kettle boils. 

2. Guard your sleep – Sleep is when your body repairs itself. Aim for a simple wind-down routine and, if late nights are unavoidable, a short nap the next day can help. 

3. Take mindful pauses – Two minutes of slow breathing, a moment of fresh air, or a quiet pause before a busy event can lower stress levels and give your body a reset. 

4. Give yourself permission to do less – You don’t need to tick off every task or accept every invitation. Protecting your energy now means you’ll start the New Year in better shape. 

None of these require perfection. They’re simply gentle reminders that your body responds best to small, consistent acts of care. 

Looking ahead

If you’d like to see us before our Christmas break, please do get booked in soon – we close between Christmas and New Year, and January appointments are already filling quickly. 

And finally, a personal note from me. This year has been full of challenges and achievements, and I couldn’t be prouder of our team or more grateful for the trust you place in us. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey to better health and movement. We’re excited to step into the New Year with you. 

Takeaway

As December winds down, remember that fatigue and stress are normal at this time of year. A few simple adjustments can help you feel more settled, and a short break – like the one we’ll be taking too – is sometimes exactly what your body needs. 

Thank you again for being part of our community at the Hub. We wish you a restful end to the year and look forward to welcoming you back in January.
