“The Pain You’ve Normalised”
Do you carry shoulder pain so often it feels normal?
Tight jaw? Aching lower back? Headaches that arrive by 3 p.m.?

So many of our massage patients come in after years of coping with discomfort — not realising how much better their body can feel.

Massage can’t undo years of tension in one session. But it can begin a gentle process of reconnection — helping your body breathe easier, move freely, and find its natural state of balance.

Our patients often notice:
💆‍♀️ Better sleep
🌿 Reduced pain
🫁 Deeper breathing
🧠 More mental clarity

You don’t need to be “bad enough” to deserve care. If something doesn’t feel right — let’s begin there.

“A Place to Exhale”
At Osteopathy Nelson, our massage patients often say, “I didn’t realise how much I was holding… until it let go.”

Life gets busy. We brace through tension, carry stress in our shoulders, and push through fatigue. Over time, this quiet strain builds up in the body — affecting sleep, digestion, focus, and even mood.

Massage offers more than physical relief. It’s a reset. A safe space to breathe deeply, reconnect, and restore balance.

Helga-Marion, our experienced massage therapist and Reiki Master, brings over 20 years of heartfelt care to her sessions. Her gentle hands and intuitive approach create a nurturing space for true rest and nervous system release.

Whether you're experiencing pain, overwhelm, or simply seeking space to pause — we’re here for you.

“RSI: When Repetition Starts to Hurt”
Do your wrists ache after typing? Shoulders stiff after long hours at a desk? That lingering pain could be Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) — a common condition caused by repeated movements or poor posture.

At Osteopathy Nelson, we often see patients with RSI in their hands, arms, shoulders, or neck — especially in people who spend long periods at computers or doing manual work.

Osteopathy can help relieve discomfort, reduce inflammation, and restore better movement by addressing muscular tension, joint restriction, and poor mechanics. We also guide you through changes to posture, desk ergonomics, and movement habits.

💻 Small adjustments can make a big difference.

Let us help you reclaim comfort and prevent long-term strain.

“Running Tight? We Can Help.”
Tight calves. Stiff hips. Hamstrings that always feel two inches too short?

Running can create beautiful strength — but it can also build tension that limits movement or invites injury if left unchecked.

At Osteopathy Nelson, we help release those high-use areas with hands-on therapy, joint mobilisations, and practical mobility exercises that actually fit into your daily routine.

We often see patients who are running fine — until tightness builds up and becomes strain. You don’t have to wait for a “real” injury to get support.

🌿 Move better. Breathe deeper. Run more freely.

“Safe Touch and Connection for Neurodivergent Children”
Touch is powerful — but for some children with ADHD or autism, it can also be overwhelming.

At Osteopathy Nelson, we use safe, slow, sensory-informed touch that respects every child’s comfort and consent. We follow their pace and allow plenty of time for play, movement, and settling.

Osteopathy may help support:
🧠 Sensory integration
🫁 Breath and postural awareness
🧘‍♂️ Emotional regulation and calm
🌙 Improved sleep patterns

We often hear from parents:
💬 “They’re sleeping better.”
💬 “They seem more settled in their body.”
💬 “It’s the first time they let someone work with them without resistance.”

Every child is different — so every session is too.

We’re here to support them, and you, with respect and care.

“Tech Neck Is Real”Looking down at your phone. Hunching over a laptop. Sitting without moving for hours. Sound familiar?...

“Tech Neck Is Real”
Looking down at your phone. Hunching over a laptop. Sitting without moving for hours. Sound familiar?

Modern life puts a surprising load on your neck and upper back — and over time, this leads to “tech neck”: tight shoulders, headaches, reduced mobility, and sometimes numbness or tingling into the arms.

At Osteopathy Nelson, we treat tech neck from the top down and the bottom up. That means we look at how your neck is moving, but also how your spine, ribs, and posture are influencing strain patterns.

Treatment is hands-on, targeted, and restorative — followed by practical advice you can use right away (no judgment if you scroll while reading this!).

Let’s make your neck feel better, and your workday more comfortable.

📱 Ergonomic support + effective treatment = better days ahead

“Breathing and Running — Yes, It Matters”
Are you puffing early in your runs? Feeling tight in the chest or shallow in your breath?

Your breath affects everything — posture, pelvic stability, nervous system tone, and endurance.

At Osteopathy Nelson, we assess how you breathe while moving and treat areas like the diaphragm, ribs, and thoracic spine to improve breath efficiency and postural strength.

Improved breathing often leads to better performance — but also reduced risk of side stitches, back pain, and fatigue.

Whether you’re training for a race or returning after illness, your breath deserves support.

🌬️ Breathe better. Run easier.
