🍂 BACK TO THE BASICS 🍂

Fall often brings us back into routine, work, school, activities, Thanksgiving gatherings and fuller schedules.

It’s also around this time of year that we start seeing more colds, bugs and that familiar fall fatigue.

There are always new wellness trends, supplements and things we can add to our routines. And while some of those can have their place, sometimes it’s worth coming back to a simpler question…

Are we giving our bodies the basic things they need to function, adapt and recover well?

This fall, I’m going Back to the Basics with six simple foundations:

😴 Rest + Sleep
💧 Hydration
🥕 Nutrition + Fuel
🚶‍♀️ Movement
🌲 Time Outdoors + Nature
🌿 Self-Care

One of the principles I love about osteopathy is looking at the body as a whole. Everything is connected, and our bodies are constantly adapting to the demands of everyday life.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be taking a closer look at each of these basics and sharing simple ways to support your body through the fall season.

Sometimes taking care of ourselves isn’t about doing more.

Sometimes it’s about coming back to the basics. 🤎

🌻🍂✨ Hello September ✨🍂🌻

This season naturally nudges us back into routine, school schedules, fuller workdays, shorter evenings. With all these shifts, our bodies often whisper for care before they start shouting. 🌿

September feels like a new year in disguise: a chance to tidy up routines, reconnect with ourselves, and make space for what matters most. Your body deserves to be part of that reset too.

Whether it’s lingering summer aches, post-vacation stiffness, or simply wanting to feel grounded again, osteopathic care can help you move into fall with more balance, ease, and energy.

now’s the perfect time to book your visit and give your body a fresh start. 🌻🍂

Happy Birthday Osteopathy!!!
June 22, 1874 Dr. Still Flung the banner of Osteopathy and History was Made!

This is the statue of A.T Still, the founder of Osteopathy, in the Town Square of Kirksville Missouri, where Osteopathy Started in 1874,

and the first class in 1892. This was an awesome trip and so grateful I got to go in 2017 - To see the town and the school A.T Still University and to learn more about the history of the profession!

I am so glad I am Osteopathic Manual Practitioner!! Thank you Dr. Still

“Find it, Fix it, Leave it Alone!”

“Make yourself a child of inquiry and a student of nature.”

Two of my favourite quotes from A.T Still !

🌿Spring into Action - Safely!
As the weather warms up, it’s tempting to dive back into gardening, hiking, and outdoor sports, but your body might need a little prep first!

Here are 5 mindful tips to avoid injury this spring:
1. Warm Up – Light stretches or a brisk walk before gardening or activity gets your muscles ready.
2. Use Proper Form – When lifting pots or tools, bend at the knees, not your back. Keep the load close to your body.
3. Switch It Up – Avoid repetitive strain by alternating tasks every 20–30 minutes.
4. Stay Hydrated – Muscles work better and recover faster when you’re hydrated.
5. Listen to Your Body – Discomfort is a sign to pause—not push through.

At Mindful Body Osteopathy, we’re here to help you stay active and pain-free all season long. Book a tune-up if you’re feeling stiff or sore.

✨ Fun Fact Friday — Elbows ✨
More shoulder and elbow issues have been showing up in the clinic lately… and one of the most common questions is:
👉 “What’s the difference between Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow?”
Despite the names you do NOT need to play golf or tennis to experience them.

Most elbow tension I see is actually related to: ✔️ Repetitive strain ✔️ Gripping ✔️ Lifting ✔️ Gardening ✔️ Gym workouts ✔️ Computer or desk work ✔️ Carrying heavy objects
The elbow has 2 bony landmarks called the medial and lateral epicondyles of the humerus — where many of the forearm muscles attach.

🎾 Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) • Pain on the OUTSIDE of the elbow • Often aggravated with gripping or lifting • Common with wrist extension (bending wrist upward) • Frequently involves tight extensor muscles

🏌️ Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) • Pain on the INSIDE of the elbow • Often aggravated with wrist flexion (bending wrist downward) • Can sometimes irritate the ulnar nerve, causing tingling into the ring and little fingers

But with Osteopathy… we don’t just look at the elbow.

The forearm muscles connect into the upper arm, shoulder, chest, and neck, one long connected chain.
We also consider the nerves traveling from the neck into the arm through the brachial plexus. Restrictions higher up in the body can sometimes contribute to tension further down the chain.

🫶 Somatic Support Idea
Try this gentle nervous-system-friendly reset:
1. Rest your arms at your sides
2. Soften your grip in the hands
3. Slowly bend and straighten the elbows without force
4. Exhale longer than you inhale

Slow rhythmic movement paired with longer exhales may help reduce protective muscle guarding and help the body relax tension patterns.

✨ And sometimes… one of the best things for irritated elbows and tendons is REST.

🧠💀 Fun Fact Friday: The Origin Story of Osteopathy! 🩺🌾

Did you know Osteopathy has been around for over 150 years?

Back in 1874, a frontier doctor named Andrew Taylor Still founded Osteopathy after losing his children to spinal meningitis. Disillusioned by the limitations of medicine at the time, he dedicated his life to understanding the body’s self-healing power.

Still believed the body was designed to heal and regulate itself—if the structure (bones, fascia, blood vessels, nerves) was aligned and moving freely. He called this philosophy Osteopathy, meaning “bone suffering.”

💡 He was a hands-on healer, anatomist, engineer, and deeply spiritual man who saw the body as a masterpiece of intelligent design. Still opened the first osteopathic school in Kirksville, Missouri in 1892—and the rest is history.

✨ So next time you’re on the table at your osteopath’s clinic, remember: this gentle, powerful work is rooted in over a century of wisdom, anatomy, and deep respect for the body’s own healing intelligence.

What I Wish Everyone Knew About Their Body 👇🏼

Your body is inherently wise. It’s always working to self-heal and self-regulate that’s its natural design.

Yes, a 30-minute osteopathy session can shift things:
✨ More alignment
✨ Improved mobility
✨ Less pain

But here’s the truth no one wants to hear…
What you do for the other 23.5 hours in your day matters just as much

If your body is constantly navigating:
🔁 Poor posture
🔁 Repetitive strain
🔁 Stress without recovery
…healing slows down. Symptoms return. Progress stalls.

We’re constantly sold the next “biohack” or trend
but real, sustainable health?

It’s built on the basics. Master these, and the body will do what it’s meant to do:

🛌 8 hours of quality sleep
💧 Hydration (and yes, minerals count too!)
🥑 Consistent, nutrient-dense meals (think protein, fats, fruit, veggies)
🚶🏼‍♀️ Daily movement — Try a Gentle Walk
🧠 Mental Breaks - No phone 🚫📱
- Try Reading a book, Meditation, Journaling.
🌳Time in Nature!🌞

Your next level of health doesn’t live in the extremes.

It lives in the consistency of the simple daily things.

And I’m here to help you support your body, one aligned step at a time 🤍

Fun Fact Friday 💪🦴

Since we’ve been on the topic of shoulders this week… here’s your fun fact! 👇

Did you know?
The rotator cuff does more than just rotate the shoulder. 💪🏻

Its main role is actually to help stabilize the shoulder joint, keeping the head of the upper arm bone centered in the socket during movement.

The rotator cuff is made up of 4 important muscles:

• Supraspinatus
• Infraspinatus
• Teres Minor
• Subscapularis

✨ Fun Shoulder Facts:

• The supraspinatus is the most commonly irritated rotator cuff tendon
Often strained by repetitive overhead movement, posture changes, or poor shoulder mechanics.

• Not all rotator cuff pain means a tear.
Tension, inflammation, compensation patterns, posture, or referred pain can all mimic rotator cuff symptoms.

Healthy shoulders depend on more than mobility, they need strength, stability, and whole-body balance too.

Mindful Body Reminder 🌿
Shoulder discomfort isn’t always just about the shoulder itself. Neck tension, upper back mobility, posture, and body mechanics all play an important role.
