Desk Posture Myths vs Facts 💻
Let’s clear up some common misconceptions:
❌ Myth: There is one “perfect posture.”
✔️ Fact: The best posture is your next posture- movement is better than any fixed position.
❌ Myth: Slouching always causes pain.
✔️ Fact: Slouching sometimes irritates tissues, but pain is usually due to staying in one posture too long.
❌ Myth: You need expensive ergonomic equipment.
✔️ Fact: Helpful but not essential - regular movement and varied positions matter most.
✨ Osteopathy can help you understand how your daily habits affect your body.

Is Clicking/Cracking Your Back Safe?
Many people ask this!
💡 The “crack” isn’t bone moving - it’s gas releasing from the joint, known as cavitation.
This can temporarily relieve stiffness, but:
⚠️ Be mindful:
• Doing it forcefully or repeatedly can irritate joints
• Twisting beyond your comfort range can strain soft tissues
• It doesn’t fix the cause of tightness or pain
✔️ Osteopaths use skilled, controlled techniques when joint manipulation is appropriate - never forced.

What Is Osteopathy?
👋 Thinking about trying osteopathy but not sure what it actually is?
Here’s a simple breakdown:
🦴 Osteopathy focuses on the whole body - muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves & circulation.
🤲 Practitioners use hands-on techniques to improve mobility and support the body’s ability to heal.
🧠 It’s regulated and evidence-informed, suitable for people of all ages.
Osteopathy can help with:
• 💥 Back and neck pain
• 🧱 Joint stiffness
• 🧵 Muscle tension
• 🧘 Postural strain
• 👶 Pregnancy-related discomfort
• 🏃 Sports-related aches
✨ It’s gentle, tailored, and aims to restore optimal function - not just treat symptoms.

✨ Why resting doesn’t always fix pain ✨
We’re often told to “just rest” when something hurts… but sometimes rest can actually make things feel worse. Here’s why 👇
🟡 Muscles can tighten when you stop moving
When you rest too much, the muscles around the painful area can stiffen, making movement harder when you start again.
🟡 Joints like movement
Gentle movement keeps joints nourished and mobile - complete rest can slow recovery.
🟡 The body needs circulation to heal

Movement improves blood flow, reduces tension and helps tissues repair.
So the magic is usually in the middle ground:
💪🏻Do move - but gently
💪🏻Don’t push through sharp pain
💪🏻Keep things mobile, comfortable and steady

Osteopathy can help by:
✨ Improving joint mobility
✨ Easing muscle tension
✨ Supporting better posture and movement patterns

The techniques in these photos are examples of how we might work with your body to reduce tension and restore movement.

✨ What is Osteopathy? ✨

Osteopathy is a system of healthcare that focuses on how your body’s muscles, joints, and tissues work together. Osteopaths use gentle, hands‑on techniques such as movement, stretching, articulation and massage to help ease discomfort, support better mobility, and improve overall wellbeing. We may give you at home exercises/activities to support your care.

It’s a holistic approach; we look at the whole person, not just the area that feels sore, to understand what might be contributing to the problem.

People often seek osteopathic care for support with:
🌱 Back and neck discomfort
🌱 Joint stiffness and reduced mobility
🌱 Shoulder, hip, and knee issues
🌱 Frozen shoulder
🌱 Muscle tension from work, sport, or lifestyle
🌱 Everyday aches and pains
🌱 Pins and needles
🌱 Recovery support after injury
🌱 Maintaining mobility and comfort as we get older
🌱 General postural concerns
