💪 3 Quick Desk Exercises to Beat Stiffness — Osteopath-Approved! 🧠✨

Long hours at your desk can leave your muscles tense and your posture suffering — but just a few minutes of movement can make a huge difference 👇

1️⃣ Chair Tricep Dips
Place your hands on the edge of your chair (make sure it’s stable!) and lower yourself slightly, keeping your elbows close. This activates your triceps, opens the chest, and encourages better shoulder mechanics — great for counteracting that rounded “desk posture.”

2️⃣ Desk Push-Ups
Stand at arm’s length from your desk, place your hands shoulder-width apart, and perform controlled push-ups. This gently engages the upper body and promotes thoracic extension — helping you undo the effects of slouching.

3️⃣ Upper Trap Stretch
Sit tall, grasp the edge of your chair with one hand, and gently tilt your head to the opposite side. Hold for 20–30 seconds each side. This releases tension in the upper trapezius and neck — common areas of strain with prolonged sitting.

✨ Osteopathic tip: Movement restores balance. Even small breaks throughout your day help maintain healthy joint motion, reduce muscle fatigue, and support your body’s natural alignment.

🎃 Pro Tip!

October means pumpkins, decorations, and heavy shopping bags! 🍂🛍️

When lifting, bend your knees, keep your spine straight, and hold items close to your body to avoid back strain.

Your spine will thank you! 💪

🍁 Your Autumn Tune-Up: Stay Well This Season 🍁

As the days grow shorter and the weather turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to give your body a little extra care. Here are 5 simple ways to boost your immune health this autumn 👇

1️⃣ Get Outside Daily – Even when it’s grey or drizzling! Fresh air, daylight, and movement all help your immune system thrive. 🌧️🚶‍♀️

2️⃣ Prioritise Restorative Sleep – Your body does its best repair work while you rest. Early nights = stronger defences. 😴✨

3️⃣ Eat for Energy & Immunity – Think colourful, seasonal foods like butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and beetroot. Nature’s way of fuelling your immune system. 🥕🍠

4️⃣ Keep Your Body Moving – Gentle stretching, walking, yoga, or even dancing in the kitchen — movement keeps your circulation flowing and your spirits high. 💃🧘‍♂️

5️⃣ Book Your Body a Reset – Osteopathy helps support circulation, lymphatic flow, and the nervous system — three key pillars of immune strength. 💆‍♀️💪

Whether you’re feeling a bit run down, stiff, or simply want to stay ahead this season, now’s a great time for an osteopathic check-in.
