One of the most underrated stretches for anyone who spends time at a desk, driving, or looking at a screen.

The open book stretch gently rotates the thoracic spine (your mid-back), which is one of the first areas to lose mobility when we sit for hours. Most people are surprised how much they feel it with just a few slow reps.

Lie on your side, knees stacked, arms out. Open the top arm slowly toward the floor and let gravity do the work. Breathe. Hold. Come back. Do 4–5 reps per side.

Save this for tonight. 🌿

Did you know that pain, tingling, or numbness in your arm might actually be coming from your neck?

Nerves travel long distances through the body — and when one gets compressed or irritated at its source, you feel it far away. This is called referred nerve pain, and it's more common than most people realize.

Neural manipulation is a specialized technique Jess uses to identify exactly where a nerve is restricted and gently release it. If you've been struggling with symptoms that haven't responded to other treatments, this might be the missing piece.

The 90-90 stretch is one of our favourites for opening up tight hips — and it works for almost everyone 🙌

Start upright to feel the base stretch in your front hip. When you're ready, walk your hands forward to go deeper. Hold 60–90 seconds per side and breathe into it.

Great for runners, desk workers, anyone who sits for long stretches — or honestly, just most of us 😄

Try this today. Your hips will thank you.

One of the most common questions we hear: "Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?"

The short answer: both use fine needles, but the approach and goals are different.

Acupuncture draws on traditional Chinese medicine to support whole-body balance.

Dry needling specifically targets trigger points — those tight, tender spots in your muscles that cause pain and restrict movement.

Jess is trained in both and integrates them when appropriate. Have a question about which might be right for you? Drop it in the comments.

Physio isn’t just what happens on the table. It’s equal parts education, so you can understand why things hurt and what you can do about it between sessions.

In every one‑on‑one appointment at Collins Physio, we make time to explain your anatomy, your diagnosis, and your options so you leave feeling informed, not confused.

If you’re ready for care that treats you like a partner, not just a patient, this is your sign to book.

Craniosacral therapy may sound scary, but it’s actually a very gentle, hands‑on technique that works with the natural rhythm of the fluid around your brain and spinal cord. Using light touch at the head, spine, and sacrum, it helps release deep tension that can contribute to pain, headaches, and nervous system overload.

Many people choose craniosacral therapy when they’re sensitive to more aggressive treatments but still want meaningful change in how their body feels.

Curious if this approach might be a fit for you? Let us know!

Just because warmer weather is on its way, doesn't mean your body is ready to spring into action.

Running, kids’ soccer, golf, gardening… your calendar is about to get busy!

But your body needs time to rebuild strength, mobility, and tolerance to new loads so those first sunny weekends don’t end in a flare‑up or injury.

Now is the perfect time to check in with your movement, work on those nagging aches, and prepare your body for what’s coming.

If you've been hibernating this winter, your body might be feeling a little stiff, sore, or out of sorts. Tight shoulders, cranky low backs, and nagging old injuries are all signs your body could use some attention.

Your one‑on‑one physiotherapy session is a chance to check in, understand what’s going on, and build a plan to move into spring with more ease and confidence.

Cold weather can make joints feel stiffer and muscles feel tighter — but discomfort isn’t something you have to wait out until spring.

Targeted treatment can help you move more freely and feel more comfortable through the winter months.

Your body deserves support year-round.
