Today I celebrate 38 years as a Chiropractor 🎉
As I look back on my journey- from being a 21 year old student in Melbourne doing my very first adjustment, to now practicing in the heart of Boonah- I’m filled with gratitude.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with their care, shared their stories, and allows me to keep doing what I love. Your goals, your progress and your willingness to let me walk alongside you mean more than I can say.

I’m truly honoured to be part of this community and excited for many more years of shared moments, good conversations and great results.

Thank you to this community- and thank you to all who’ve been part of these 38 wonderful years. 💛✨

Sarcopenia- Let’s Talk About It 💪

I attended a conference on sarcopenia this weekend, and it was a big reminder of how important muscle strength is as we age. I’ll be keeping an eye out for early signs in the clinic to help support you better.

What is Sarcopenia?
It’s the age-related loss of muscle strength and muscle mass. It can make daily tasks harder, like getting out of a chair, carrying groceries, or climbing stairs.

How do you know if you may have it?
✅ Weak grip strength
✅ Slower walking speed
✅ Loss of muscle mass

What helps treat or prevent it?
🏋️ Strength training 2-3 times a week
🥩 Protein with each meal (eggs, fish, beans, lean meats)
🚶‍♂️ Move daily and avoid long periods of sitting
☀️ Vitamin D if needed

The good news? Sarcopenia isn’t “just ageing”. With the right exercise and nutrition, you can stay strong, active, independent at any age! 💚

💻 Spend hours on a computer for work or study?

The prevalence of neck pain is higher among office workers than in the general community, with studies suggesting 70% of desk workers report neck pain.

If you're a desk worker, you could be at risk of developing Tech Neck - a growing spinal health concern caused by poor posture and prolonged screen time.

Common symptoms include:
⚠️ Headaches
⚠️ Neck, shoulder, and upper back pain
⚠️ Postural changes and spinal curvature (especially in older adults)

Adjust your thinking: Prevention is the best protection:
✅ Maintain an upright, relaxed posture
✅ Take regular movement and stretching breaks
✅ Set your screen at eye level
✅ Use an ergonomic chair (knees slightly lower than hips)
✅ Consider a sit-stand desk to reduce spinal strain

This WorkSpace Week, adjust your thinking to work well every day! Explore free resources, hints and tips at www.workspaceweek.org.au or book an adjustment at www.wellnessone.com.au, because prevention is the best protection!

🧘‍♀️ Feeling stressed, overwhelmed or just need a reset?

Try Box Breathing:
👉 Inhale for 4 seconds
👉 Hold for 4 seconds
👉 Exhale for 4 seconds
👉 Hold for 4 seconds

Repeat for a few rounds and feel your nervous system calm down. It’s simple, powerful, and you can do it anywhere, at your desk, in traffic, or before sleep.

Think of it as a little mental reboot 🔁
Your breath is your built-in remote control for your body and mind.

🍲 Simmering Goodness: Chicken Bone Broth Magic

There’s something deeply comforting about a pot of bone broth bubbling away on the stove. But beyond the delicious aroma, chicken bone broth is packed with health benefits:

💚 Gut support – rich in gelatin and amino acids (like glutamine) that help soothe and repair your gut lining, which can mean less bloating, better digestion, and more energy after meals.

🦴 Joint health – a natural source of collagen and glucosamine to help your joints move more freely, so you can walk, garden, or exercise without the usual creaks and stiffness.

🛡️ Immunity booster – minerals and amino acids that support your immune system helping you bounce back faster from colds and stay well during busy, stressful seasons.

💡 How do you think you could use it?

☕ Sip it warm in a mug as a nourishing drink
🥣 Add it to soups, stews, risottos or sauces
🍚 Use it to cook rice or quinoa for a flavourful upgrade
❄️ Freeze in portions to have healing comfort on hand anytime
