EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED

Osteopaths treat the body as a whole, because every part influences the rest.

Think about it:
Those old ankle sprains from your teenage years, that heavy fall onto your tailbone, or even a knock to the head years ago, the pain may have gone, but did everything truly resolve?

Often the body compensates to keep you moving creating patterns that can eventually lead to persistent back pain, neck tension, or that stiffness that keeps returning no matter how much you stretch.

Janice has the curiosity and expertise to look beyond the pain and uncover what’s really causing what helping your body work in balance again.

Book an appointment with Janice today and start getting to the root of your discomfort.

Sarah Jackson - Senior Osteopath

You'll find Sarah at Stillpoint on Thursday evenings - perfect for those after school and work appointments.
Let's learn a little more about Sarah in her own words

" I have been practicing Osteopathy since graduating from Unitec in 2004 and specialising in Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) since 2007. I was always interested in health, but I did not learn of Osteopathy until my twenties and the more I learnt, the more I understood its philosophies and they made sense to me. I like how we never treat just a part; it is always with the whole in mind.

I used to work at Stillpoint Osteopaths about 12 years ago. Since then, I have travelled, continued my Post Graduate Education in OCF and practised Osteopathy part time while having 2 small children.

I chose to return because it is primarily a cranial practice and I wanted to work in an environment where continual learning is important, encouraged and facilitated. I also wanted to work with others who were passionate about their work. I am so excited to be re-joining and feel so privileged to be able to work with such an amazing team of highly skilled and dedicated professionals.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and love the diversity that Osteopathy brings, I enjoy working with both acute and chronic conditions and being part of a healthcare option that searches for and addresses the causes of symptoms rather than just the symptoms.

It is a joy to experience positive changes with people that makes lives better with increased mobility and reduced discomfort. Seeing people get better is rewarding.

Outside of work I am pretty busy with my little family. We have lots of fun playing on our little boat, falling off my paddleboard, hanging out at beaches, bushwalking, and exploring. I also love to cook and read in quieter moments."

Traditional Child Massage — Gentle Touch for Growing Kids

For generations, Chinese families have trusted Traditional Paediatric Massage to nurture children's health and wellbeing, a legacy I’m proud to offer New Zealand families today.

This 2,000-year-old gentle therapy uses rhythmic, calming techniques drawn from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support a child’s natural growth, vitality, and resilience. Similar to infant touch therapy, it strengthens the parent-child bond while uniquely focusing on a child’s changing developmental needs.

Benefits for Your Child:
• Emotional Balance & Bonding: Rhythmic motions promote security, helping children feel calm and connected
• Better Sleep: Soothing techniques ease tension, fostering deeper relaxation for better sleep patterns.
• Digestive Comfort: Gentle abdominal motion may ease common digestive discomfort.
• Natural Vitality: Rooted in TCM principles, this approach supports the body’s innate balance without medication or chemicals.

Rooted in centuries of community practice, this natural approach is now available in New Zealand, offering a chemical-free option aligned with modern parents’ values.

Each session is tailored to your child’s individual needs, blending playfulness with therapeutic purpose building the foundation for lifelong health in a natural, gentle way.

Traditional Child Massage is offered at Stillpoint Osteopaths by experienced TCM practitioner Renjie (Jay) Xi. Jay is available on Mon/Tue/Thu.

Post-Viral Symptoms getting you down?

Over the last 8 weeks, many of our patients have been recovering from Influenza B and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), often left with chest tightness, post-nasal drip, lingering cough, and post-viral fatigue.

If this sounds familiar, osteopathic care may help. By gently working with your upper back, chest, and neck, we can help restore mobility and reduce tension in areas that may be holding you back from feeling fully energized.

Early research is encouraging too: a recent study on osteopathic treatment for Long COVID-19 patients with post-viral fatigue showed promising results in helping patient with their fatigue. While more research is needed, these findings are exciting.

Reference: “Acute Effects of Osteopathic Treatment in Long COVID-19 Patients with Fatigue Symptoms: A Randomized, Controlled Trial,” J Clin Med. 2025 Aug 27;14(17):6066.

If you’re struggling with lingering symptoms after a viral infection, reach out today to support your recovery and reclaim your energy.

Are Period Pains affecting your quality of life?

Do you or your daughter often find yourselves reaching for ibuprofen just to get through the day during menstruation? You’re not alone. Research shows that manual therapies such as osteopathy can bring clinically significant relief from menstrual pain, while also improving overall quality of life.

In fact, studies comparing manual therapies with ibuprofen show similar pain relief but with the added benefit of addressing the underlying pelvic and joint dysfunction often linked to period pain. (1)

Olivia completed her master’s research investigating the self-management strategies for endometriosis related pain. She has a strong focus on current research and women’s health care. She’s dedicated to helping women find safer, long-term solutions for their pelvic health.

If period pain is impacting you or your daughter, don’t just manage it, explore a treatment that supports your whole body.

Book an appointment with Olivia or one of our experienced team today.

Studies have shown that Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF) has significant anti-inflammatory effects, demonstrated in both preclinical and clinical trials. This includes benefits for post-operative recovery and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis.

At Stillpoint, this therapy is offered by Olivia Wells, a skilled osteopath who has undertaken advanced training in PEMF application. Olivia brings a unique perspective by combining her osteopathic expertise with PEMF therapy. With her detailed understanding of the body’s mechanics and tissue responses, she can assess when PEMF will be most effective and integrate it seamlessly into an osteopathic treatment plan.

For some patients, Olivia may recommend a PEMF session before osteopathic treatment to help calm inflammation and improve tissue quality, making the hands-on work even more effective. This thoughtful combination allows her to tailor care in a way that supports faster recovery, reduces discomfort, and maximises therapeutic results.

PEMF therapy is non-invasive, safe, and can be an excellent adjunct if inflammation is a driving factor in your current health concerns.
