▫️This is a pelvic adjustment (posterior innominate) it is aimed at improving movement in the pelvis and joints around it. Nothing is "put back into place" and the click is the gas rapidly changes within the joint.

🔸️Pelvic pain can be influenced by previous injuries, prolonged sitting, sport, pregnancy and post partum changes, muscle imbalance, everyday wear and tear and many other factors. A thorough pelvic and lower back assessment is required to diagnose this.

▫️Everyone's body is different, so assessment is key to understanding whats contributing to your symptoms.

🔸️If you are experiencing pelvic or lower back pain get in touch today via DM, or phone on 089 256 1156.

Not everyone has to fear the "crack" 😊 although, most people love it, because it makes you feel better, helps you to move better and reduces pain.

With the long-awaited sunny weather, many of us are finally getting back outside for grass cutting, weeding, digging, and all the other garden jobs that come with it ☀️

While it feels great to be out in the garden, those repeated bending, lifting, and twisting movements can sometimes leave your back feeling stiff and sore.

Hands on treatment at ND Therapies can help by assessing how your joints, muscles, posture, and movement patterns are contributing to the discomfort. Treatment is tailored to you and includes massage and techniques and manipulations if required, advice on movement and posture, and exercises to help support your recovery and keep you moving well this summer !

Cranial Osteopathy uses very gentle, subtle techniques, making it suitable from birth onwards. Sessions are relaxed, often with baby feeding, sleeping, or being cuddled throughout.

Why choose it ?

•Gentle support in the early weeks
• Helps babies who seem unsettled or tight
• Encourages ease in movement & positioning
• Reassurance and guidance for parents

⚕️Have you that nagging neck pain from hours of hunching over screens? 🖥

Forward head posture that's overloading your cervical spine, discs, and upper traps. This forward head posture can triple the load on the neck, while looking at your phone can put up to 60 pounds of pressure on the spine. ⚠️

🔅Exercise to help: Chin Tucks. Sit tall, tuck chin like making a double chin (keep eyes level). Hold 5 secs, 10 reps. Strengthens deep neck flexors.

🔅Make sure to check ergonomics: screen at eye level, arms level with the desk, feet flat on the floor and move hourly.

🔅Osteopathic techniques and alignment can relieve that tension in the upper thoracic and cervical spine. These include, massage, mobilisations and articulation of the spine, dry needling, traction of the cervical spine, manipulation and simple exercises.

Three ‘osteo’ conditions, three very different stories.

🦴 Osteopenia & Osteoporosis = bone density and fracture risk

🦴 Osteoarthritis = joint wear and tear, pain and stiffness
Movement, nutrition and early checks make a huge difference.

If you’re noticing joint pain, or you’ve had a ‘small’ fall with a big fracture, it’s worth a chat with your GP or Osteopath/Therapist.
