Let's talk about concussion⚡️

Concussions are head injuries that have caused injury to your brain. And just like the rest of your body, when your brain gets injured it can have trouble functioning.

Headaches, brain fog, being sensitive to light and sound, fatigue, irritability, nervous system deregulation, dizziness, and decreased physical coordination or balance can all be symptoms of concussion.

On their own, concussion symptoms can be quite the handful, but they can have a flow-on effect to other areas of your life too. You might start to feel stressed or anxious about your work responsibilities, your ability to parent well, or even how you engage in your relationships with people.

Because it's your brain that's been injured, it can be very difficult to rest and recover. But it's also important to get medically assessed, and seek support and treatment when you need it.

Cranial Osteopathy is one of the tools that you can make use of to aid in your recovery, and we happen to have two Osteopaths who offer this service 🤲

So if you've had a concussion that is impacting you, book online to see Rochelle or John, and we'll help support you as part of your recovery team ✨

Did you know that Osteopaths are trained in Clinical Systems Examinations? 🧑‍⚕️✨

These medical assessments are designed to screen for potential health issues in your body systems (like your cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems). Being trained over-and-above what we can treat means that Osteopaths have the training to clinically recognise when you need a referral to an appropriate medical professional 💁

A little throwback to when Rochelle Judkins - Māmā & Osteopath received part of her clinical diagnostic tool-kit during her 3rd year of study 😉 can you name some of the apparatus in the picture?

When was the last time you treated your body to a tune-up?

Muscles are designed to contract and relax, but when life gets busy it can be easy to put-off self-care activities like stretching 🦵

If your body is starting to feel stiff and uncomfortable, it's probably a good time to book yourself in for a WOF. After all, you look after your car, why not your body? ✨

Our team of Osteopaths are here whenever you're ready to give your body some TLC 🤲
