💚 Women’s Health Week 💚

When it comes to exercise, the advice out there can feel overwhelming. Strength training, cardio, balance, flexibility… where do you even start? 🫣

This week, we’re cutting through the confusion and focusing on the exercise essentials for women’s health. Research shows that it’s not about one “perfect” workout, but about consistently hitting the key areas your body needs:

✔️ Strength
✔️ Balance
✔️ Power
✔️ Flexibility

That’s why we’ve broken it down into a simple, doable weekly plan you can follow (swipe through 👉).

There are 4 simple truths I wish everyone knew about their health:

🌟 Pain is a messenger, not the whole story

🌟 Movement Matters - it keeps your joints AND your nervous system happy

🌟 Stress doesn’t just live in your mind - it shows up in your body too

🌟 A healthy, functioning spine supports your whole body health

Your spine plays a vital role in how your body feels, moves and responds to life.

It’s more than just bones - it’s the gateway to your nervous system, which influences everything from energy and sleep to digestion, hormones and mental clarity.

✨When your spine moves well, your body works better!

These aren’t just statements - they’re foundations for feeling good, staying well and living fully! 👍🏼

Curious how your spine might be impacting your health? Let’s chat 💬

Have you heard more people talking about creatine lately?

You’re not imagining it, and it’s not just hype.

I started looking into creatine for my own health and was surprised by what the research shows. It’s not about building bulk, it’s about building energy, brain clarity, and strength in a way that supports women through every stage of life.

This post breaks down what creatine is, what it actually does, and why more women are starting to include it in their wellness routines.

If you’ve been curious about it, or just feel like your energy and recovery need a little more support, I hope this helps.

This beautiful lady had her last appointment before her little one arrives with me today and I’m so grateful to have been part of her pregnancy journey. 🤰🏻

Every pregnancy is unique, and it’s a privilege to support women like Emma through the incredible changes that come with growing a new life. It’s a role I never take for granted.

We can’t wait to see Emma back in the clinic soon with her beautiful baby in her arms. 💚

Is it normal to feel pelvic pain during pregnancy?

It’s a question I get asked all the time in my clinic and the answer is yes, it’s very common. In fact up to 80% of pregnant women will suffer with pelvic pain during their pregnancy.

But that doesn’t mean you have to just “put up with it.”

Pelvic pain can show up in lots of ways; sharp pain near the p***c bone, a deep ache across the hips, lower back stiffness, or even pain that shoots down the legs.

For some women, it’s just uncomfortable. For others, it can make simple things like walking or rolling over in bed feel really difficult.

In this post, I’ve shared a few of the common causes I see in clinic, when it might be time to get some support, and some gentle things you can try at home.

Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it’s not always easy.
If pain is making it harder than it needs to be, you’re not alone and there are safe, gentle ways we can help. ☺️💚

So why does winter make everything ache more?

Spoiler: it’s not just the cold ❄️🦴
 
Colder weather can lead to increased joint and muscle pain — but it’s not just a seasonal coincidence. When temperatures drop, blood vessels constrict to conserve heat, reducing circulation to the extremities and soft tissues. This can cause joints to feel stiffer and muscles to feel tighter, especially if inflammation is already present.
 
On top of that, we tend to move less in winter — and research shows inactivity can worsen symptoms like stiffness, fatigue, and chronic pain.
 
What helps (and why):
✨Keep moving: Gentle, consistent movement helps maintain joint mobility and improves blood flow — even a daily walk can reduce symptoms.

✨ Stay warm: Using heat packs or layering up helps relax tight muscles and reduce discomfort by improving circulation.

✨ Support your body well: Quality sleep, nutrient-rich meals (especially omega-3s), and body treatments like chiropractic care can help regulate inflammation and improve recovery.

✨ Watch your stress: Cortisol spikes can heighten pain sensitivity — supporting your nervous system with rest, breathing techniques, and spinal alignment can make a noticeable difference.
 
Winter doesn’t have to mean waking up sore and stiff. If your body’s talking, it’s worth listening.

Hormonal headaches — they’re common, but that doesn’t mean you should just put up with them.

For many women, these headaches show up like clockwork before their period. That’s because oestrogen takes a sharp dip, which can trigger changes in your brain chemistry, increase tension, and leave you feeling foggy, achy, or downright miserable.

They’re real. They’re disruptive. And they’re often misunderstood — especially when they come with tight shoulders, sore necks, or jaw pain too.

✨ The good news, you can support your body through them.

Holistic care can help ease the physical tension, support your nervous system, and give your hormones a softer landing each month.

💬 If headaches are becoming part of your monthly routine, it might be time to explore what your body is really telling you.

Have you noticed a pattern with your headaches and your cycle? Awareness is the first step toward meaningful support. ☺️💚

Shoutout to Kayla 📣

This morning was one for the books — computer glitches, terminal meltdowns, technicians in the clinic and on the phone … and through it all, Kayla kept things running smoothly with a smile. ☺️

She made every patient feel seen and supported, and we’re so lucky to have her. 🥰

Grateful beyond words for her and our incredible team! 😊

Thank You Kayla! 💚

PS: We’re open tomorrow and have a few chiro spots left — if your week’s been as glitchy as ours, you might need some love too 😅

Feeling off lately? It might not be just your workload.

Hybrid work, inconsistent routines, and endless meetings can mess with more than your calendar — they can throw your whole system out of sync.

Women’s bodies thrive on rhythm. When that rhythm gets disrupted, we feel it: in our mood, energy, sleep, focus… even our posture.

🧠 A 2022 study in Menopause found that irregular routines and poor sleep can make hormonal symptoms and fatigue worse in peri-menopausal women. And it’s not just hormones — your nervous system needs some consistency to function well too.

Here are a few small shifts that can help:
✔️ Stick to similar wake/sleep times (even on WFH days)
✔️ Schedule micro-breaks — 5 mins is enough to reset your system
✔️ Keep snacks nearby that support your body: almonds, Greek yoghurt, boiled eggs, edamame, tuna snack packs, or a smoothie

✨ Sometimes the best thing you can do for your productivity… is listen to your body.

👋🏻 If your workday feels off — you’re stiff, tired, or just not yourself — this is where I come in. As a chiropractor, I help women understand what their body’s saying, and how to support it with simple, real-life strategies. ☺️💚

As Mother’s Day draws to a close here in Adelaide, we just wanted to send a big, heartfelt hug to every kind of mum in our community:

💚 To the mums raising little ones (and running on coffee).
💚 To the soon-to-be mums, feeling every flutter and kick.
💚 To those dreaming, hoping, and on the journey to becoming mums.
💚 To the stepmums, bonus mums, and mother figures who stepped up with love.
💚 To the grandmas, aunties, carers, and “mum friends” who mother in their own beautiful ways.
💚 To those who chose not to be mums but support others with fierce love.
💚 And to those missing their mums today — we see you, and we send you comfort and care.

Mother’s Day can be joyful, complicated, heartwarming or heavy (sometimes all in one day). So whether you’ve had breakfast in bed, been showered in flowers or just managed to hide in the bathroom for five minutes of peace — you’re doing amazing.

So to our beautiful Mothers — thank you for being you. And to my darling daughter, who features in the photo, thank you for being the heart behind everything I do. 💚

Happy Mother’s Day! ☺️💚
