�� Fun Facts About Your Bones ��

�� Constant Renewal: Your bones are constantly renewing themselves. Every 7-10 years, you essentially get a completely new skeleton!

�� Storage & Release: Bones act as a storage unit for minerals like calcium and phosphorus, releasing them into the bloodstream when needed to maintain balance.

�� Bone Soundwaves: Bones can transmit sound. Your skull conducts sound waves to your inner ear, allowing you to hear yourself speak more clearly than others do.

�� Old Bones: Some of your bones started forming before you were born. The ossification of bones begins in the second trimester of pregnancy and continues through adolescence.

�� Phytochemical's: The Hidden Heroes ��
Beyond vitamins and minerals, nutrient-rich foods contain phytochemicals—bioactive compounds crucial for health.

Flavonoids: Found in berries, citrus fruits, and dark chocolate, flavonoids have antioxidant properties that protect against oxidative stress and inflammation, reducing chronic disease risk.

Sulforaphane: Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts are rich in sulforaphane, supporting detoxification pathways and potentially preventing cancer.

Lycopene: Tomatoes, watermelon, and pink grapefruit owe their colour to lycopene, linked to reduced prostate cancer and heart disease risk.

�� Why not just take a supplement?
Supplements can't replace a balanced diet! The way phytochemicals work in the body is still not fully understood, but we know that a whole food approach provides a matrix of nutrients and phytochemicals, optimising bioavailability.
So, eat the rainbow!

Lifestyle Tip: Is Your Mattress Working for You? ��️
Did you know your mattress plays a crucial role in your spinal
health?
Here are some expert guidelines from the osteopaths at The Bodyworx:

�� Support is Key - A mattress that's too soft or too firm can lead
to back pain. The right mattress for you supports your spines'
natural curves.

�� Comfort Matters - Choose a mattress that offers firm support
with a comfortable top layer to cushion pressure points. Memory
foam or hybrid mattresses are generally good options for most
people.

�� Tailored to Your Needs - Your sleeping position matters! Side
sleepers may prefer a softer surface, while back and stomach
sleepers might need a firmer option. Your size and weight also
play a part in the decision making.

�� Don’t Forget Your Pillow - Your pillow should keep your neck
aligned with your spine. Back sleepers may prefer a medium-firm
pillow, side sleepers a firmer one, and stomach sleepers a softer,
thinner option.

Have any questions or need more personalised advice?
Call 08 7006 3445 to schedule an appointment with our
osteopaths and get ready for some quality sleep afterwards!

�� Phrase of the Day: Trigger Point ��
We all know what a trigger point is. But did you know the phrase’s
fascinating history?
Dr. Janet Travell coined the phrase in the 1940s.
She combined the word trigger, which came into English in the
17 th century from the Dutch word trekken meaning “to pull” and
point, which has its roots in the Latin word “punctum”, meaning “a
dot” to describe a specific spot in a muscle that, when pressed,
triggers pain elsewhere. Quite the linguistic journey for something
so central to osteopathy!
Bonus trivia: Dr Travell was President John F. Kennedy’s
personal physician!
At The Bodyworx our osteopaths are skilled in
identifying and treating these areas to relieve pain and improve
your overall well-being. Call 08 7006 3445 to make an
appointment and discover the benefits for yourself!

�� Hamstring Strain Info Alert! ��
Did you know? Hamstring strains are caused by rapid muscle
contraction or stretching
Soccer players, beware! You're most at risk. But it's not just
sports – even everyday activities can lead to hamstring woes.
Know your muscles: The hamstrings (biceps femoris,
semitendinosus, and semimembranosus) are crucial for knee
flexion and hip extension.
Why do they happen? Imbalances between quadriceps and
hamstrings play a big role. Plus, age and previous injuries up the
risk.
Stay ahead: Warm up well, keep flexible, and balance those
muscles. And if pain strikes then call us on 08 7006 3445 right away.
Stay active, stay safe! ��

�� Plantar Fasciopathy: A Scientific Insight ��
Plantar fasciopathy, defined as inflammation of the plantar fascia,
often arises from repetitive strain or biomechanical imbalances.
You might have heard of fasciitis, and you’re wondering what the
difference is... Well, fasciopathy is a broader term encompassing
various conditions affecting the fascia, including damage or
dysfunction (not just inflammation.)
�� Understanding the Science:
The plantar fascia, a robust band of tissue supporting the foot
arch, undergoes stress during weight-bearing activities, leading to
microtears and inflammation.
�� Actionable Solutions:
- Stretching: Routine exercises targeting calf muscles and the
plantar fascia can relieve tension and aid healing.
- Orthotics: Custom devices provide support, redistributing
pressure and easing strain.
- Footwear: Opt for supportive shoes with proper arch support
and cushioning.
- Call Us: We’re here with soft tissue therapy and adjustments to
help with mobility all around your body.

Give us a bell on 08 7006 3445 and let’s get started
get you on the right foot as soon as possible.
