Calm your nervous system with osteopathy 🤲🏻

Osteopathy treats the whole body, but one key system is the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which plays a crucial role in regulating your body’s autonomic functions including heart rate, breathing, digestion and blood pressure

With hands on techniques our osteopaths focus on calming the nervous system to take your body from a fight/flight/pain state to a rest/digest/heal state

If you’re feeling stressed, tight and anxious leading into end of year chaos. Osteopathy may be the care you need 💗

What makes prolapse worse (and what helps)?

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can feel unpredictable—some days manageable, other days heavy and uncomfortable. While the degree of prolapse itself doesn’t always rapidly change, your symptoms can fluctuate depending on how you move, breathe, and load your body throughout the day. Understanding what aggravates prolapse (and what helps) is key to feeling more in control.

One of the biggest contributors to worsening symptoms is unmanaged intra-abdominal pressure. This often shows up during straining—whether that’s on the toilet, lifting heavy loads, or even during certain types of exercise. Holding your breath, bearing down, or pushing through effort increases downward pressure onto the pelvic organs. Over time, this can aggravate feelings of heaviness or dragging. Constipation and chronic coughing are other common aggravators.

Posture and movement patterns also play a role. A rigid, braced abdomen or “sucked in” posture can disrupt how pressure is distributed through the diaphragm, abdomen, and pelvic floor. High-impact exercise, or returning to it too quickly after pregnancy or injury, can also exacerbate symptoms if the body isn’t prepared.

SO, WHAT HELPS?

✨ Coordinating your diaphragm and pelvic floor
✨ Exhaling during effort (like lifting or standing up) helps offload pressure rather than pushing it downward.
✨ Optimising bowel habits - adequate fibre, hydration, and using a toilet stool

✨ Working with a pelvic health osteopath or physiotherapy to release areas of tension, overactivity of restriction to help balance and restore function
✨ Individualised movement and strength work is important. Building strength through the hips, core, and pelvic floor

Prolapse management isn’t about avoiding activity—it’s about doing it differently. With the right strategies, you can reduce symptoms, build confidence, and return to the things you enjoy.

Living with chronic fatigue syndrome can make everyday activity challenging, particularly when physical or mental exertion can lead to a delayed worsening of symptoms. The Perrin Technique is a gentle, individualised approach that some people with ME/CFS explore as part of their broader symptom-management plan.

Your best posture is your next posture 💪🏽

Old advise about posture of sit up straight, shoulders back and don’t slouch while well-intentioned is outdated! Research shows our bodies prefer to move rather than being still

Sustained stillness leads ro progressive muscle fatigue and a gradual build up of tension. Our body is able to self-regulate this by increasing movement!

🤍 Try take short breaks every 30-45 minutes from sitting
🤍 Mixing it up between sitting and standing
🤍 Short walks to break up the day
🤍 Gentle stretches
🤍 Increasing movement outside of work including gym, Pilates and sport

When self management isn’t enough, our team is here to support you through hands on manual therapy and clinical Pilates to help get you moving and feeling your best ✨
