Did you know your body’s fascia is like an all-encompassing web, wrapping every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ? It helps transmit force, keeps you moving smoothly, and supports your body from head to toe.

But sometimes - over time - the web can tighten. Fascia can become tight or restricted due to injury, poor posture, repetitive movements, weight or hormonal changes, or even stress 😣. When this happens, movement can feel limited, muscles may tense up, and aches can appear in surprising places. Restricted fascia can also affect fluid circulation, which further affects recovery and tissue health. Our osteopaths work to release restrictions and restore mobility. We’ll also provide guidance on movement and self-care to keep your fascia functioning at its best. 💪

Feeling a bit stiff or tense? Call 9330 1212 to make an appointment at Melville Osteopathy.

Understanding Pain: Acute vs Chronic

Pain is the body’s way of signalling that something needs attention - but not all pain is the same.

Acute pain is short-term, often sharp, and linked to a specific cause such as a sprained ankle or strained muscle. It usually fades as tissues repair.

Chronic pain, on the other hand, is pain that lasts. Conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia may keep pain signals active even without ongoing injury. This persistence can affect sleep, mood, and overall quality of life, creating a cycle that is difficult to break.

Osteopaths take a whole-body approach when working with pain. For acute injuries, treatment may involve gentle manual techniques to support mobility and reduce muscle tension while the body heals. For chronic pain, care often extends to helping patients understand their pain, identifying movement patterns that might be contributing, and offering strategies to improve function. Osteopaths may also discuss exercise, stress, and lifestyle factors that can influence how pain is experienced.

If you’re living with ongoing discomfort, it may not have to be your new normal. Call us on 9330 1212 to make an appointment with us today and let’s see how we can help.

Word of the Day: Idiopathic Scoliosis

“Idiopathic” comes from the Greek idios (one’s own) and pathos (suffering), meaning a condition that arises without a known cause. “Scoliosis” stems from the Greek skolios, meaning “curved” or “twisted.” 🌀

Put together, idiopathic scoliosis describes a spinal curve with no identifiable underlying cause - and it accounts for about 80% of scoliosis cases, most often appearing in adolescence.

While the cause remains unclear, your treatment options are not limited. Our osteopaths are here to help with assessment, symptom management, and supportive care aimed at maintaining mobility and comfort.

Curious about scoliosis? Share your questions in the comments, or call 9330 1212 to make an appointment with the osteopaths at Melville Osteopathy.

The Forgotten Power of the Ankles

👣 Strong ankles = stable body. Let’s stop ignoring the foundation.

Your ankles aren’t just for standing - they’re your body’s shock absorbers, helping you walk, run, jump, and stay balanced. Weakness or poor mobility can change how you move, increase load on knees and hips, and make sprains or falls more likely. This matters for athletes pushing limits and older adults wanting to stay steady on their feet.

So, what can we do to help? Our osteopaths will assess ankle mechanics, release tight tissues, and provide exercises to improve mobility and reduce injury risk. 🏃

So if you’re struggling with ankle instability or recurring sprains, let’s chat! Get in touch and we’ll book you in for an appointment with our team today.

Stuck doom-scrolling every night? 📱

We’ve all fallen into the trap - “just five more minutes” online somehow becomes an hour. But the stress from late-night scrolling isn’t just about the lost sleep (although that’s a big problem in and of itself.) Blue light from screens delays melatonin production, tricking your brain into thinking it’s daytime. At the same time, constant social feeds can raise cortisol (your stress hormone), keeping your nervous system on high alert. How? Constant exposure to emotionally charged, fast-changing content stimulates the brain’s stress response, keeping the body in a state of alertness.

This one-two punch of poor sleep and heightened stress can leave you feeling exhausted and anxious, and your spine and muscles feeling stiffer and achier the next day.

Let us know in the comments… What’s your bedtime scroll limit - or do you just “pretend not to look at the clock”? ⏰

Yep – it’s a mouthful, but your spine might be saying it too!

From the Greek hyper (excessive) and kyphos (a hump), it describes that over-rounded upper back that can creep up over time – especially if you spend hours at a desk or glued to your phone 📱🧑‍💻

It may lead to stiffness, discomfort, or even changes in breathing and balance. Osteopathy aims to support better posture, ease tension, and help you move more freely.

Noticed a curve where there didn’t used to be one?

Your Spine: The Foundation of Your Body 🏗️🦴

Did you know your spine is made up of 33 vertebrae? These bones protect your spinal cord - the vital highway that transmits signals between your brain and the rest of your body.

When the spine isn’t aligned properly, it can influence how your whole-body functions, potentially affecting movement, posture, and even comfort.

Osteopathy aims to support spinal alignment and encourage better overall body function, helping you move more freely and feel more balanced.

📞 Call 9330 1212 to make an appointment with one of our osteopaths at Melville Osteopathy because a strong foundation matters.
