“Stop scrolling—do this now”

Your body called. It wants a reset.

Try this 30-second posture reset (do it with me):
1. Stand tall, feet hip-width
2. Chin tuck (like making a double chin) x 5 slow reps
3. Shoulders down + back (don’t flare ribs) x 5 breaths
4. Squeeze glutes gently for 10 seconds

If your neck/upper back feels tight after that… you’re not alone.
That tightness is often your body’s “I’ve had enough desk time” signal.

Want help making it stick? We’ll assess what’s driving the tension and build a simple plan to keep you moving.

✅ Comment “RESET” and I’ll DM you our 2-minute desk routine.

Is lower back pain slowing you down?

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people in the UK see a healthcare professional – and it can impact everything from work to sleep to family time.

At Bateman Chiropractic Clinic, we focus on drug-free, hands-on care to help you move more comfortably and confidently.

Here’s how chiropractic care may help with lower back pain:

1. Thorough assessment
We start with a detailed case history, posture check and orthopaedic/neurological tests. This helps us understand what’s driving your pain and whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.

2. Tailored treatment plan
If chiropractic care is suitable, we create a plan specific to you. This may include:
• Spinal adjustments or joint mobilisation
• Soft tissue techniques
• Exercise and rehab advice
• Posture and lifestyle guidance

3. Focus on function, not just pain
Our aim is to help:
• Reduce pain and stiffness
• Improve movement
• Support you in returning to your normal activities

4. Evidence-informed & collaborative
We follow current UK guidance and, where appropriate, can work alongside your GP or other healthcare professionals.

If you’re experiencing persistent or recurring lower back pain, you don’t have to just “put up with it”.

FRIDAY BODY STATUS: “It’s… complicated” 🫠

By Friday, your body usually falls into one of three camps:

1️⃣ “I’m fine.” (…says the person who groans every time they stand up)
2️⃣ “Bit tight, but I’ll survive.”
3️⃣ “If I drop something on the floor, it now belongs to the floor.”

Here’s the thing 👇
Your spine doesn’t suddenly “go bad” overnight.
All week you’ve been:
• Sitting too long
• Rushing around
• Sleeping weird
• Saying “I’ll sort it next week”

3 little check-ins for your Friday:

✅ Can you turn your head comfortably to shoulder-check?
✅ Can you touch your toes without your hamstrings screaming?
✅ Can you sit upright for 60 seconds without fidgeting?

If you answered “no” (or laughed because you didn’t dare try)…
that’s your body quietly waving a 🚩 before it turns into a full-on emergency.

Chiropractic isn’t just for when you’re broken.
It’s to keep you moving well so you can actually enjoy your weekend – not just recover from your week.

👇 Drop a “🧠” in the comments if your body feels older than your birth certificate says.
I’ll send you a message with how we can help you hit Monday feeling less “ouch” and more “let’s go”.

Wednesday Tip 💥
Your posture is your superpower.

Most of us spend HOURS sitting – at the desk, in the car, on the sofa. When you stay stuck in one position, your joints stiffen, your muscles switch off, and your spine takes all the load. That’s when niggles turn into aches… and aches turn into full-on pain.

Today, once every hour:
✅ Stand up from your chair
✅ Roll your shoulders back & down
✅ Gently tuck your chin (double-chin style)
✅ Take 3 slow deep breaths
✅ Walk for 30–60 seconds

These micro-movements keep your joints lubricated, your muscles activated and your nervous system happy. Little and often beats “hammering it” once a week at the gym.

Your future self (and your spine) will thank you.
If you just stood up reading this, drop a 🦴 in the comments!

🧠 “Just a headache”… or something more?

If you’re in Colchester and finding headaches are becoming a regular part of your week, you’re not alone.

Headaches can be triggered by:
• Long hours at a desk 💻
• Poor posture and neck tension
• Stress and lack of sleep
• Dehydration or skipped meals

Over time they can:
• Drain your energy and focus
• Affect work, family time and exercise
• Make you feel irritable or “on edge”

⸻

How chiropractic may help 🤝

At Bateman Chiropractic Clinic in Colchester, we assess how your spine, muscles and nervous system are working together – especially around the neck and upper back.

For some people, particularly when headaches are linked to muscle and joint tension, chiropractic care may help by:
• Improving joint movement with gentle, hands-on techniques
• Reducing muscle tension and supporting better posture
• Giving tailored advice on desk set-up, sleep and lifestyle
• Providing exercises to help support and stabilise the neck and upper back

Everyone is different, and results vary from person to person. Chiropractic care does not replace medical care.

👋 Based in Colchester?
If headaches are stopping you from living life the way you’d like, we can carry out a thorough assessment to see whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.

“Feels like I’ve got a trapped nerve…” ⚡️

We hear this all the time in clinic.
Here’s the surprising bit 👇

👉 True ‘trapped nerves’ are actually quite rare.
Most people who describe a “trapped nerve” are actually experiencing:
• 🔹 Irritated joints in the spine
• 🔹 Tight, protective muscle spasm
• 🔹 Inflammation around a disc or joint
• 🔹 Referred pain from overworked tissues

These can all cause:
• Sharp, catching pain when you move
• Pain that “zings” if you twist, cough or sneeze
• Feeling like your back or neck “locks” suddenly

The good news?
If we catch it early, these issues usually respond really well to:
• Gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments
• Soft tissue work to calm tight muscles
• Simple, targeted exercises to support and stabilise

If you’ve got sharp, catching pain and you’re worried it’s a trapped nerve, don’t just ignore it or guess 🧠
A proper assessment can tell you what’s really going on and what you can do about it.

Let’s find the real cause of your pain and get you moving again. 💪

Sciatica” is a symptom, not a diagnosis ⚠️

Just being told “You’ve got sciatica” doesn’t explain what’s actually wrong – it only tells you your sciatic nerve is irritated. The real question is: why?

Common underlying causes can include:
• 🔹 Lumbar disc irritation or herniation
• 🔹 Joint dysfunction in the lower back or pelvis
• 🔹 Muscle tightness or imbalance compressing the nerve
• 🔹 Postural stress from sitting, driving or lifting

This is where chiropractic comes in👇
As chiropractors we don’t just chase the pain – we look for the root cause:
• ✅ Detailed history & neurological/orthopaedic testing
• ✅ Assessment of spinal alignment, movement & posture
• ✅ Gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments to improve joint function
• ✅ Soft tissue work & nerve mobilisation (where appropriate)
• ✅ Rehab exercises to support long-term stability & prevent flare-ups

If you’ve been told you have “sciatica” but never had a proper assessment, you deserve more than a label.

👉 DM us “SCIATICA” to book a thorough assessment or tap the link in our bio to schedule online.
You don’t have to just “live with it.”

🧠 Spine 101: Know Your Backbone! 🦴
Ever wondered what really holds you up, protects your spinal cord, and helps you move freely every day?
Swipe to see the beautiful complexity of your spine! 👇

🟤 Your spine isn’t just one bone — it’s a dynamic structure made up of 33 vertebrae, split into 5 regions:

🔹 Cervical Spine (Neck) – 7 vertebrae
Designed for flexibility, allowing you to nod, rotate, and tilt your head.

🔸 Thoracic Spine (Mid-back) – 12 vertebrae
Anchors your ribs and helps protect vital organs.

🔹 Lumbar Spine (Low-back) – 5 vertebrae
Your power zone! It bears the most weight and is key to posture and lifting.

🟤 Below that:
▪️ Sacrum – A fused bone connecting the spine to your pelvis.
▪️ Coccyx (Tailbone) – Small but important for pelvic stability.

Each vertebra has components like:
✔️ Vertebral body (weight-bearing)
✔️ Transverse & spinous processes (muscle/ligament attachments)
✔️ Vertebral foramen (protects your spinal cord)

🧍‍♂️ Misalignments or dysfunctions in any region can affect movement, posture, or even nerve function. That’s where chiropractic care comes in — helping keep your spine in top condition for a healthier, pain-free life.
