This Movember, Let’s Talk Men’s Health

It’s not just about growing a moustache - it’s about starting conversations men often avoid. Back pain shrugged off as “just age,” digestive discomfort put down to stress, or fatigue dismissed as nothing serious can sometimes mask bigger issues. So grow a mo’ this November and shine a light on men’s health, book those lifesaving health checks, and invest time into the healthy habits (exercise, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness) that underpin your continued health and wellbeing.

Need help getting moving again? Book an appointment with us online. Osteopaths look at the body as a whole, considering how movement, posture, circulation, and even stress responses interact. Supporting mobility and reducing strain so you can keep moving!

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.

📊 Statistic of the Month: Effectiveness of Manual Therapy

Research shows that 60% of patients with musculoskeletal pain report significant pain relief following manual therapy. That includes joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, and spinal adjustments. ✋

Osteopaths use manual therapy as part of a personalised approach to reduce pain, improve movement, and support overall function.

Bloated, crampy, or just feeling “off” in your gut? Digestive discomfort isn’t only about what you eat - it’s also about how your body moves and responds to stress. Ugh – but what can we do about it?

Osteopaths may use visceral manipulation, a gentle hands-on approach to ease tension around the organs and surrounding tissues. The goal is to support gut motility — no, not mobility (though we get why you’d think that 😉). Motility means the wave-like muscle contractions that move food and fluid along, a bit like your gut’s conveyor belt 🚚. These rhythms can slow if the muscles become tight, if nerves regulating digestion are under strain, or if stress disrupts the body’s natural balance.

Alongside this, breathing exercises to calm the nervous system and holistic advice on diet and stress may help support your gut’s rhythm. 🌿

Mind over matter? Maybe — but your body always keeps the score.

When you’re stressed, your shoulders can creep up, your jaw might clench, your breath gets shallow, and your core stability takes a back seat. Over time, these patterns can lead to real physical discomfort — especially in the neck, back and chest.

And everything adds up. Even something as small as a restricted joint can throw off your gait, affect your posture, and contribute to fatigue or low mood.

Osteopathic care looks at how mental and physical health interact, working to ease tension and restore balance across the whole body. Gentle treatment, mindful movement, and breathwork can all play a role. Sometimes just getting one thing moving well can make a world of difference 🌿

What’s your go-to way to release tension — a walk, a stretch, or a long exhale? Share your favourite tip in the comments.

Did you know your plantar fascia is like a built-in shock absorber? This thick band of tissue runs from your heel to your toes, helping you stand, walk, and run. When it becomes irritated — a condition called plantarfasciopathy - every step can feel like you’re treading on a pebble.

Here’s the catch-22: the plantar fascia is loaded every time you’re on your feet, so unlike an arm injury that you can rest in a sling, it never really gets a break. That’s why symptoms can linger.

If you’re suffering, it’s time to call for help. Book online to make an appointment at myOsteo. Our osteopaths will assess your whole body for contributing factors (like imbalances in your hips, knees or spine), and work to ease tension in tight muscles, and give you guidance on load management, footwear choices, and walking patterns to reduce strain.

Word of the Day: Diaphragm /ˈdaɪ.ə.fræm/ From the Greek diaphragma, meaning “partition” – and that’s exactly what it is. This dome-shaped muscle sits beneath the lungs, separating the chest from the abdomen, and is the primary driver of respiration. But there’s more to the diaphragm than just breathing. It plays a key role in spinal stability, postural alignment, and even digestion through its close relationship with the vagus nerve and abdominal organs. Osteopaths often work with the diaphragm to support better breathing mechanics and improve the overall function of the musculoskeletal system. 🌬️ pop online to book an appointment and breathe a little easier.

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. 💪

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. Book online to make an appointment with us today and let’s see how we can help.

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”? ⏰

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? Book online to make an appointment with the osteopaths at myOsteo.
