Sometimes the inner chaos wins out! 🤪😵‍💫

Are you ready for Christmas?

12/12/2025

Moving your body, even a little, really does shift how everything feels.

Who else is counting down to the Christmas break? Or are you actually loving the lead up this year? 💚❤️

December can hit hard on our bodies 💥

Here’s what I’m seeing the most in the clinic right now and what we’re working on to help you ease into the holidays a little better.

08/12/2025

Most people don’t realise how much their breathing can affect their lower back pain.

➡️ Did you know that your “core” isn’t actually your abs, or what people call the “six pack.”

Your core is made up of:
• Your diaphragm
• Your multifidus (deep spine stabilisers)
• Your transverse abdominis (deep abdominal layer)
• Your pelvic floor muscles

These muscles work together like a team. When one is tight, weak, or not coordinating well, the whole system feels it, often showing up as back pain, breathing issues, or tension through the hips.

Treatment that works through the ribs, diaphragm, and low back can make a huge difference, not just for pain, but for easier, smoother breathing too.

If your Christmas party plans have shifted, please take a moment to check your massage booking and reschedule it if you need to. I don’t want you to miss out on that little moment of calm before everything ramps up 💜

If you need me, I’m on a massage table pretending life isn’t chaotic.

05/12/2025

If sleep’s been a bit of a struggle, magnesium can genuinely help.

Magnesium helps with sleep because it’s involved in the pathway that controls melatonin, the hormone that tells your brain it’s time to wind down. It also helps keep cortisol in check.

More magnesium = better melatonin signalling, calmer cortisol levels, and an easier time actually switching off.

04/12/2025

December asks a lot from us. If you notice your shoulders creeping up, your jaw clenching, or your sleep going out of rhythm, that’s your body asking for support, not more pressure. Care isn’t a luxury, it’s how your body keeps going.
