Chiropractic Insight 🌀
Think of your spine as your body’s main highway — when traffic flows smoothly, everything runs better. A balanced spine = a balanced life. Each vertebra, joint, and muscle works together to keep signals from your nervous system zipping efficiently to the rest of your body.
Chiropractic care isn’t just about easing aches; it’s about keeping your highway clear. Gentle adjustments and movement guidance help joints move freely, muscles coordinate, and posture stay strong, supporting overall wellness and daily function.
So whether you’re bending, lifting, or just sitting at your desk, a well-aligned spine can make movement feel easier and more comfortable.
How do you keep your spine in top gear? Share your tips below 👇 let’s keep each other moving smoothly!

"The team at Casterbridge are pleasant welcoming and professional, after being with my previous chiropractor for 10yrs or so, going somewhere else after she retired was quite nerving. Kate who treats me at Casterbridge is very upbeat and she soon sorts my ailments"

"Liam has been such a great help with my back and hip pain. I have a 3 year old daughter and the lifting had been causing pain in my lower back. After the first session there was such a difference! All the staff there are wonderful. Thank you so much."

Squat Your Way Through December! 🏋️‍♀️❄️
Feeling festive? Let’s squat it out! Squats aren’t just for gym buffs - they’re one of the best ways to build strength in your legs, glutes, and core, keeping you sturdy for everyday life (and all that Christmas feasting 🍪🎄).
The science? Squats engage multiple muscle groups, improve joint stability, and boost balance — helping you stand taller, move easier, and reduce the risk of injury. Even small, consistent sessions can make a difference.
Try sneaking in squats while waiting for the kettle to boil, or during a festive TV binge. Every rep counts!
How are you adding a little squat power to your December? Share below 👇 or call us to talk about safe ways to strengthen your body this season. 💚

Word of the Day: Juvenile Arthritis 🦴
/ˈdʒuːvənᵻl ɑːˈθraɪtɪs/

From Latin juvenilis meaning “youthful” + Greek arthron (“joint”) + -itis (“inflammation”). Put together, it literally means “inflammation of the joints in youth.”

Juvenile Arthritis (JA) is an umbrella term for various inflammatory and rheumatic conditions affecting children under 16. Symptoms can include joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, which may fluctuate in intensity and location.

Our chiropractors (working alongside paediatric healthcare teams) focus on supporting joint mobility, posture, and musculoskeletal function to help children move more comfortably and maintain normal development. While JA can’t be cured, early assessment and supportive care can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Your spine wakes up stiff for a reason - here’s how to help it stretch into the day.

When you sleep, the discs between your vertebrae act like little sponges. They rehydrate overnight, pulling in fluid to cushion and protect your spine. That’s why you might feel a bit taller in the morning - but also a bit stiffer. The extra fluid means your discs are plumper, so your back isn’t quite ready for heavy lifting or twisting straight out of bed.

Gentle movement is your best morning coffee for the spine. A short walk, light stretches, or gentle spinal twists help redistribute fluid, improves alignment, and prepares your spine for the day ahead.

Want your mornings to feel less creaky? Chat to us during your next appointment and we’ll give you some tailored movements you can do each day to help your spine move and function as it should.
