What a fantastic video! See if you can spot Alice and Rob! 🧐

What a privilege it was for Alice and Rob to be amongst this group of exceptional osteopaths last weekend. Thanks again Dr Shereen Lim for an amazing few days 💚

One of my fave pics from our Infant Oral Function and Feeding Masterclass - with Dr Justin and Kate Roche!

I hugely value the work of my osteopathic colleagues in helping to optimise outcomes of oral releases, and have learned so much from them over the years.

And it’s so sweet how tight knit they are as a group, and to know they enjoyed catching up together at the event.

I was impressed to see they even managed to coordinate themselves for this group photo, from Perth, Bunbury, Geraldton, Ballarat and Bendigo!

Thank you for joining us!

I only received the event photos last night, and there are so many great ones to sort through. A few people have already asked about photos, so I’ll be working through them and figuring out the best way to share them over the weekend.

Happy FOUR YEAR On-The-Mend-aversary to Dr Sarahjane O’Leary! 🥳🎉

Sarah has been part of OTMH since the early days and has well and truly made her mark on our little clinic. She brings oodles of warmth, generosity and care to her patients every day, and a calming and inspiring energy to our team 💙

We’re very lucky to have you, SJ. Happy four years! 🥳

🎂 Another year older and possibly wiser…

Rob celebrated his birthday over the weekend, so with the team finally all together today, we took the opportunity to celebrate our fearless leader — mostly by eating cake. 🎉

Happy birthday, Rob! 🥳 Another year of keeping On The Mend running, talking too much without drawing a breath, and pretending he doesn’t enjoy being the centre of attention.

A pretty good Tuesday at OTMH! 💙

What a day learning from paediatric physiotherapist Kate Roche and paediatrician Dr Justin Roche, all the way from Ireland’s National Tongue Tie Centre to present their Infant Oral Function and Feeding Masterclass! 👶

Rob and Alice had a fantastic day catching up with colleagues and friends, meeting new faces from across Perth, Australia and overseas, and learning alongside so many passionate professionals working with babies and children towards optimal feeding and airway health.

It was an absolute pleasure to join osteos, speech pathologists, chiros, OTs, dentists, doctors, lactation consultants, midwives and more — all bringing their own perspective and expertise to the room.

Huge kudos to Dr Shereen Lim for bringing together such a diverse group of people for such a fantastic event! 👏

Happy ONE YEAR On-The-Mend-aversary to our wonder from Warrnambool, Osteopath Dr Alice Kelly! 🤩

You’ve been a fantastic addition to our team, not just for your amazing osteo skills, or warm, welcoming and calm demeanour, but perhaps most importantly — keeping the boss busy with plenty of footy chat and supporting the right team! 🤣🔵🟡

Good sleep doesn’t always start when your head hits the pillow 🌙

A few simple habits can make a big difference:

⏰ Keep it consistent - going to bed and waking at roughly the same time each day helps keep your body clock on track.

🛏️ Set up your space - a cool, dark and quiet bedroom gives your body the right environment for sleep.

☕ Watch the late-day fuel - caffeine and heavy meals too close to bedtime can make settling and staying asleep harder.

Nothing revolutionary. Nothing complicated. Just a few good habits, done consistently.

Why are we talking about sleep as osteopaths? Because sleep and recovery go hand in hand. How well you sleep can influence pain, recovery, energy and how your body feels and functions day to day.

Looking after your health isn’t only about what happens on the treatment table.

Sleep well 😴

Yes, osteopathy is serious business. But apparently not that serious 😂

Your first appointment isn’t an interrogation. It’s a conversation - about what’s been bothering you, your health history, what you’d like to get back to doing, and anything else that helps us understand the bigger picture.

There’ll be an assessment, we’ll talk you through what we find, and together we’ll work out a treatment plan that suits you.

And, as Erin is demonstrating here, apparently there may also be some questionable jokes along the way. 😏

No referral needed — just book in and come say hi 👋
