Phones, tablets, and laptops are part of school life now.
Trying to eliminate them isn’t realistic — and it isn’t necessary.

What we see far more often is strain caused by long periods of stillness and sustained forward head posture, especially during homework, study, and downtime after school.

Young bodies cope well with technology when movement is built in. Regular breaks, simple posture awareness, and changing positions throughout the day can significantly reduce neck and shoulder tension.

When discomfort starts to appear — headaches, tight shoulders, upper back stiffness, or fatigue — it’s often the body asking for support rather than something to push through.

A calm assessment can help identify whether posture habits, screen setup, or growth-related changes are contributing, and whether simple adjustments would be helpful.

If your child or teenager is struggling with neck or upper back tension, you’re welcome to contact the clinic to talk it through or arrange a check.

Your back doesn't have to hurt from everyday tasks. We understand how frustrating it can be when simple activities like lifting groceries or moving boxes leave you in pain.

Here's how to protect yourself:

✓ Keep the load close to your body
✓ Bend your knees, not your back
✓ Take your time and avoid rushing
✓ Ask for help with heavy items

Small changes in how you move can make a big difference in how you feel. Your body works hard for you every day - it deserves proper care.

As the school year resumes, many children and teenagers shift quickly from relaxed holiday movement to long hours sitting, heavier school bags, and increased screen use.

Most of the aches and stiffness we see at this time aren’t caused by injury.
They’re usually the result of a sudden change in routine and physical load.

Neck and shoulder tension, mid-back stiffness, headaches, or general fatigue are often early signs that the body is working harder to adapt.

The good news is that when these signals are noticed early, they’re usually much easier to settle. Small adjustments to posture, movement habits, and load can make a meaningful difference, especially in growing bodies.

If your child or teenager has been mentioning discomfort, feeling unusually tight, or struggling with long days of sitting, a calm, gentle check can help clarify what’s going on and whether any simple support would be useful.

If you’d like to discuss your child’s situation or arrange an appointment, feel free to get in touch with the clinic.

Hip pain can be confusing because the "hip" area includes several different spots. 🤔

Your true hip joint is located deep in your groin area, where your thigh bone meets your pelvis. But when people say "hip pain," they might actually be referring to:

The side of your hip (greater trochanter area) Your lower back Your buttock muscles The front of your hip/groin
Understanding exactly where your discomfort is coming from helps us provide the right care for you. Pain location gives us important clues about what might be causing your symptoms.

At Manningham Road Chiropractic Centre, we take time to listen and pinpoint the exact source of your discomfort. Every person's experience is unique, and we're here to help you understand what's happening with your body.

Where exactly do you feel your hip discomfort - is it more on the side, in the groin, or somewhere else?

Pain is often the last signal — not the first

By the time pain shows up, the body has usually been compensating for a long time.
Reduced movement, poor posture tolerance, disturbed sleep, fatigue, or repeated “flare-ups” are often signs the spine and nervous system are under ongoing strain.

Ignoring those signals doesn’t make them disappear — it usually makes the pattern deeper.

At Manningham Road Chiropractic Centre, care focuses on how the spine and nervous system are functioning before problems escalate, helping restore movement, resilience, and capacity to cope with everyday load.

If your body keeps sending the same message, it’s worth listening.

Ever wondered if tension headaches really mean you're feeling stressed? 🤔

The name might suggest it's all about being "tense," but the truth is more complex. Tension headaches can happen for many reasons beyond just stress. Poor posture, muscle strain, dehydration, or even changes in sleep patterns can trigger them.

While emotional tension can play a role, physical tension in your neck and shoulder muscles is often the real culprit. This type of muscle tightness can develop from everyday activities like working at a computer or sleeping in an awkward position.

Understanding the root cause is key to finding relief. Sometimes it's about managing stress, other times it's addressing physical factors that contribute to muscle tension.

At Manningham Road Chiropractic Centre, we believe in looking at the whole picture to help you feel better.

Have you ever wondered about the Asian Squat? 🤔

This deep squatting position is a natural resting pose used daily by millions of people across Asia. It involves sitting in a full squat with feet flat on the ground and heels down.

Many of us in Western cultures have lost this ability due to our lifestyle habits. We spend long hours sitting in chairs, which can affect our hip and ankle mobility over time.

The good news? With gentle stretching and practice, many people can work toward improving their squatting position. This movement pattern can help maintain healthy hip, knee, and ankle function.

At our clinic, we understand that movement limitations can be frustrating. We're here to support you on your journey toward better mobility and comfort.

Remember, everyone's body is different. What works for one person may not work for another, and that's perfectly okay.

Have you ever tried the Asian squat? What movement goals are you working toward?

our body adapts every day — until it can’t quite keep up

Work, family life, sport, screens, and travel all ask something of the spine and nervous system.
Most people don’t notice the load building until movement feels restricted, recovery slows, or the body just doesn’t feel as resilient as it used to.

These changes are common — and often very workable.

At Manningham Road Chiropractic Centre, care is focused on helping the body move more freely and cope better with everyday demands, using a thoughtful, measured approach.

If you’ve been putting things off because the problem feels “minor,” it may be worth a closer look.
