Boroondara Osteopathy

The diaphragm isn't just for breathing. It's a large, dome-shaped muscle, and when it's tight, the knock-on effects can be felt well beyond the chest.

The muscles at the back of the neck can shorten and contract in response, driving tension up through the neck and into the head, which can show up as recurring headaches.

If your headaches keep coming back, it might be worth speaking to an osteopath, to work together to look beyond just the head and neck.

While arthritis is a condition that affects the joints, a big part of the pain and stiffness actually comes from the muscles around those joints. When your body senses joint pain or inflammation, it often tightens nearby muscles to protect the area. Over time, this can lead to even more discomfort and limit your movement.

That’s where osteopathy can help.
Any questions? Feel free to reach out to our team on 9859 5059.

You might be able to relieve Arthritis pain with manual therapy because of the link of how the joints work WITH the muscles. Find out why...
