Do you find yourself clenching your jaw when stressed?
Teeth clenching, grinding, or jaw tension can lead to pain around the temples, face, neck — or even trigger headaches.
Osteopathic care looks beyond the jaw itself, exploring how tension in the neck, shoulders, cranium (head), and even the pelvic floor can influence the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Gentle osteopathic techniques can help the jaw and related structures move more freely and calm the nervous system — supporting both physical and emotional ease. 🌿

With the start of a new academic and work season often comes extra stress.
Headaches are one of the most common reasons people seek manual therapy. They can arise from many causes — stress, neck tension, posture, jaw issues, or even changes in sleep and hydration.
Osteopathic care focuses on
understanding these contributing factors and supporting the body’s natural ability to restore balance.
Gentle osteopathic techniques can help release muscle tension, improve blood and lymph flow, and calm the body’s stress response.
🧠 Research suggests that these approaches can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches, particularly those related to muscular tension and stress.

Summer Lifting Tips – Protect Your Back This Holiday Season!
Summer holidays are here – and so are the heavy suitcases, beach gear, garden furniture, camping kits, and DIY projects!
5 Quick Tips for Lifting Safely:
1️⃣ Warm Up First – A few gentle stretches go a long way before heavy lifting.
2️⃣ Use Your Legs – Bend your knees and keep your back straight when lifting.
3️⃣ Keep the Load Close – Hold heavy items close to your body to reduce strain.
4️⃣ Twist With Care – Turn your whole body with your feet, not just your spine.
5️⃣ Split the Load – Don’t overload yourself. Take more trips if needed.
If you're feeling stiff, sore, or strained after a busy summer day:
👐 Osteopathy can:
✔️ Relieve tension in muscles and joints
✔️ Improve flexibility and recovery
✔️ Help prevent injuries before they happen
✔️ Support your active lifestyle — naturally
