🏢 Corporate Wellness & Workshops Osteopaths assess, diagnose and treat a wide range of aches and pains. If you have an ongoing pain or dysfunction, get it checked out. If it is something that is unable to be improved or relieved with osteopathic treatment (for example, cartilage tear), we will refer you on and put you in the right hands.

🔥 TIGHT LOWER BACK? TRY THIS STRETCH!

If your lower back is feeling stiff or tight, this simple side-lying stretch can help improve mobility through your lumbar spine.

Here are 4 tips to get the most out of it 👇

1️⃣ Bottom leg straight – Keep your lower leg extended.

2️⃣ Top leg bent – Bring your top knee across your body to help stabilise your position.

3️⃣ Rotate your chest away – Gently turn your upper body in the opposite direction.

4️⃣ Reach your arm away – Straighten your arm and reach further to deepen the stretch.

💡 Remember: Move slowly, breathe deeply, and avoid forcing the rotation. You should feel a comfortable stretch, not pain.

🙌 Give it a try and see how your back feels!

📌 SAVE this for your next mobility session.
📤 SHARE it with someone who spends a lot of time sitting!

💬 Where do you feel this stretch the most, your lower back, mid-back or glutes?

Want better posture? Start with these 2 things 👇

💪 STRENGTHEN — build strength through your upper back with exercises like pull-ups and face pulls.

🙆‍♂️ STRETCH + LENGTHEN — work on areas that commonly get tight, like the chest and shoulders.

Good posture isn’t just about constantly reminding yourself to “sit up straight.” Building strength while improving flexibility and movement can make a big difference.

Look at the difference in her shoulder mobility 👀

Before treatment, her left shoulder rotation was noticeably restricted compared with the right.

We didn’t just focus on the shoulder. We also worked on her posture, thoracic mobility and other areas contributing to the restriction, then reassessed.

The result? A noticeable improvement in movement after just one session 🙌

The body works as a whole, sometimes the area that feels restricted isn’t the only area we need to look at.

🥊 Good posture starts young!

With kids spending so much time on screens these days, one of the best things we can do is simply get them up and moving.

Posture isn’t just about “sitting up straight”, it’s about movement, strength, variety and not staying in the same position for too long.

Today’s movement… a few rounds of boxing with Dad 😂🥊

Less screen time, more movement, and a bit of quality time together. Win win 🙌

What’s your favourite way to get your kids moving? 👇

Foam rolling isn’t just about rolling back and forth. In this video, I show you how adding controlled spinal flexion can help encourage segmental movement, plus I explain those clicks and pops you may hear along the way.

🚨 2 common reasons people injure their back when lifting:

1️⃣ Bending or turning while lifting
2️⃣ Combining bending + turning, especially under load

I see these movement patterns regularly in clinic, whether it’s lifting boxes, picking things up from the floor, or reaching into the boot of a car.

A lot of lifting injuries can start with an incorrect squat.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is using a stance that’s too narrow, which can force you to hinge too far forward at the hips and place unnecessary stress on your lower back.

Try these 2 simple changes:

✅ Feet about shoulder-width apart
✅ Turn your feet slightly outwards

Small changes to your technique can help reduce your risk of injury when lifting.

👉 Follow for Part 2 where I’ll cover more tips for safer lifting.
