Whether you’ve taken a break from exercise due to the holiday season, a busy work schedule or just life getting in the way lately; getting back into an exercise routine can be challenging. Motivation isn’t the key to sustaining an active lifestyle, instead we need to focus building daily habits which help to keep us on track.
We often see an increase in children attending the
clinic for back, neck and shoulder pain once school is back in session. Poor sitting habits, screen time

We’re thrilled that you’ve chosen to start your osteopathic journey with us! From the moment you arrive, you can expect a warm and friendly welcome as you meet your practitioner.
It’s estimated that osteoporosis affects over 1 million Australians and is most common in post-menopausal women, with 1 in 4 women aged over 75 being diagnosed. After menopause, lower levels of oestrogen result in increased bone resorption as opposed to bone formation, placing women at a higher risk. Osteoporosis is often referred to as the ‘silent disease’ as it usually has no symptoms until a fracture occurs.
Recreational running is by far the most popular form of physical activity. The statistics are evident, over 3 million Australians participate in some form of running, making it the most popular sport in our country. The population of runners ranges from people just trying to stay fit, recreational runners seeking a personal best at a community event and our Olympic and professional athletes.

Whether you are an elite athlete or a champion Netflix watcher, everyone should take at least a couple of minutes every day to think about how they could be looking after their own bodies. It could be stretching, getting a massage, eating more veggies, dropping down on a glass of wine or going for a walk with the dog.
