Message from Kathleen Murphy about the importance of keeping warm for your health

Here is your annual ❄️winter❄️ reminder to keep your neck warm and covered - especially when it's windy and especially when there's a dramatic drop in temperature (as we've had this past week).

Not only is it a vibe to keep cosy and warm - in Chinese medicine, it's an important lifestyle prescription.

At the back of your neck / shoulders are bilateral acupuncture points (BL12 - Fengmen) known as the Wind Gates which are entry points for cold and wind into the body (though, that whole area of the neck and upper back is susceptible). Keeping this area warm and covered will help to protect against 'wind invasion', which is tied to symptoms you'd see with a seasonal lurgy - chills, aches, fever, sore throat, runny nose, chesty cough etc.

Of course, there's more to staying well than wearing a scarf when it's cold and windy buuuuuut it certainly can help. Plus, it's cute! 🧣

Feedback like this is so wonderful to hear - thank you Scott for your five star Google review!

"Talita is fantastic. After trying numerous Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Massage Therapists with minimal success for lower back and leg pain, after 2 visits to Talita the relief has been amazing. And she's a lovely person too; very caring and intuitive. Couldn't recommend more highly - Scott Heselwood

Chiropractic care isn't just about physical health—it can also have a positive impact on mental well-being, including stress and anxiety relief. ✨

By realigning the spine and improving nervous system function, chiropractic adjustments can help reduce tension in the body, leading to a sense of relaxation and calm.

Many patients report feeling less stressed and more balanced after chiropractic sessions. 🌿💆‍♂️

Dealing with sciatica pain?

Sciatica can be incredibly uncomfortable, but chiropractors specialise in techniques that may be able to provide relief. Through gentle spinal adjustments and targeted exercises, we aim to alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve, reduce inflammation, and promote healing naturally.

Is this something you experience in your daily life? How have you managed it so far and what do you find it the most help?

01/03/2024

Lots of people come to the chiropractor looking for immediate relief from an acute issue. It's always great to help them find some relief and be able to carry on with their day. It's even more wonderful when clients return, year after year, to look after themselves and their health.

Thank you to those who have been on their health journey with me for many tears... I feel very lucky that I have your continued support. ❤️

Got teenagers in your house? Wondering how to help them avoid headaches, be aware of their posture, and learn about spinal health? These ideas can help get the conversation started...

Posture Check: Remind them about the importance of good posture. Whether studying, gaming, or chatting with friends, sitting up straight makes a big difference.
Regular Movement: Encourage breaks and stretches during long study sessions. A quick walk, stretch, or even a dance break keeps those muscles happy.
Ergonomic Setup: Create a comfortable study space. Invest in a good chair and ensure the computer or desk is at the right height to avoid strain.
Mindful Tech Use: Older kids often spend more time on screens. Teach them to be mindful of their tech posture – eye level, arms relaxed, and regular breaks.

A little awareness goes a long way in supporting your child's spinal health journey! 🌈

🎒 Backpack Tips for Healthy Backs! 🌟 Picking the right backpack is crucial for your child's spinal health. Here's what to look for:
1️⃣Proper Size: Choose a backpack that matches your child's size. It should rest evenly in the middle of the back, not hanging too low or high.
2️⃣Padded Straps: Comfort is key! Does your child's backpack have padded shoulder straps to reduce pressure on those growing shoulders?
3️⃣Weight Distribution: A backpack with multiple compartments helps distribute weight evenly. Encourage your child to use different sections for different items.
4️⃣Adjustable Straps: Straps should be easily adjustable to fit snugly on the back. A well-fitted backpack means less strain on the spine. And encourage them to use both straps, not just one!
