This past weekend our Osteopath Marnie Norfolk attended a conference with over 200 osteopaths to share and learn. We were able to recognise our history and say thank you to our teachers and mentors. Many younger osteopaths attended and Marnie was able to connect with many as she has now been teaching osteopaths for 23 years. She caught up with some study buddies! And let’s not forget the gala dinner where all got to have fun and carve up the dance floor!

Why Sleep Position Matters
The way you sleep affects your spine, neck and shoulders. Poor posture overnight can exacerbate existing pain and lead to stiffness in the morning.
Sleep is one of the most important parts of recovery and healing.
If you’re waking with neck pain, headaches or stiffness, your pillow, mattress or sleep position could be contributing.
Osteopathic treatment + the right sleep setup = better rest and better recovery.
Living with endometriosis can be exhausting — physically and emotionally.
Osteopathy offers a whole-body approach to help manage symptoms by reducing pelvic tension, improving circulation and supporting better movement and function.
Gentle, tailored treatment may help ease pain, support pelvic health and improve overall wellbeing alongside your medical care.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month
A time to shine a light on a disease that affects 1 in 7 people assigned female at birth. By raising awareness, we can help drive early detection, better support, and greater understanding. 💛
Endometriosis can impact daily comfort, movement and quality of life.
While osteopathy doesn’t treat endometriosis itself, we can help support the body by addressing muscular tension, pelvic and lower back discomfort, and movement restrictions.
You don’t have to push through pain alone — support is available.

Stretch at Work — Your Body Will Thank You
Whether you work at a desk, on your feet, or outdoors, staying in one position too long can lead to stiffness, pain and injury.
Regular stretching helps improve flexibility, reduce muscle soreness and keep you moving well throughout the day.
Aim for slow, controlled stretches and hold each one for 10–20 seconds.
Try these simple workplace stretches:
✔ Neck Rotations – Gently turn your head side to side to reduce neck tension.
✔ Shoulder Stretch / Rotations – Link fingers and lift arms overhead to open shoulders and chest.
✔ Side Bends – Reach overhead and stretch through your side body.
✔ Wrist & Forearm Stretch – Great for computer and tool-based work.
✔ Back Extension – Hands on lower back, gently arch to counteract sitting.
✔ Heel Raises – Helps circulation and lower leg strength.
If you’re currently injured or receiving treatment, check with your health professional before starting new exercises.
Taking 2–3 minutes to stretch during your day can make a big difference to how your body feels.

Stress doesn’t just live in your mind — it impacts your heart too. Long-term stress can contribute to higher blood pressure, inflammation and lifestyle habits that increase heart disease risk.
Simple ways to support your heart:
✔ Prioritise quality sleep
✔ Move your body regularly
✔ Eat a balanced, plant-rich diet
✔ Take time to reset (breathing, walking, switching off)
Looking after your heart isn’t just about exercise — it’s about how you live, eat and manage stress day-to-day.
Your body and your heart work together. Look after both. ❤️
Research shows most premature heart disease and stroke cases are preventable through healthy lifestyle habits. Simple daily actions — like moving your body regularly, eating well, and managing key risk factors — can have a powerful impact on your long-term health.
Looking after your heart is one of the best things you can do for your future self.
If you’re working on moving better, sitting better, or reducing tension in your body — we’re here to help.
During February Marnie and Louis attended a course together in Sydney. The topic was to improve communication strategies with patients.
On arrival in Sydney there was a 10 km walk from the Spit to Manly. Great suggestion Louis! There was wildlife like lizards and bush turkeys, tropical plants and flowers and beautiful water views.
Dinner at a pub in the Rocks, a ferry ride and checking out the opera house and Sydney Harbour bridge.
The next day was a full day working with communication skills with various allied health practitioners like physiotherapists, speech pathologists, vets, naturopath, acupuncturists and more.
We were able to workshop and brainstorm skills to build confidence, lead, consider our own mindset and adapting our skills to suit our patients.
Thanks to Tristan Bond for offering this wonderful opportunity for us to learn and develop with our teams.
