Today we pause to honour everyone affected by cancer: those living with it, those supporting loved ones, and those we remember. 💙

World Cancer Day highlights the importance of early detection, equitable access to care, and the research that continues to advance understanding and treatment. Cancer isn’t a single condition but a complex family of diseases involving changes in cell growth, each with its own pathway and challenges. Awareness helps encourage timely conversations with healthcare professionals and supports the communities working tirelessly in prevention, diagnosis, and care.

At Altona Meadows Osteopathy, we stand with all patients, families, and healthcare teams showing strength, compassion, and resilience every day.

🎒 Back to School: Start the Year Healthy

A new school year is the perfect time to set healthy habits that support your child’s growing body. Our osteopaths recommend: keeping backpacks light and well-fitted, encouraging regular movement breaks, and promoting good posture at desks and screens. 🌿

These small adjustments can prevent strain, improve spinal alignment, and support comfortable, efficient movement throughout the day for a healthier, happier school year.

Call Altona Meadows Osteopathy on (03) 8360 8363 to discuss personalised strategies for a healthy start to the school year.

🌀 Thoracic Spine Rotation Stretch

Feeling stiff in your upper back from sitting or hunching over screens? Here’s a quick way to loosen things up.

Sit or stand tall, cross your arms, and slowly rotate your upper body side to side.
💡 Why it works: This gentle movement improves thoracic spinal mobility, relieves stiffness, and helps your shoulders and ribcage move more freely. Even short daily sessions can make a noticeable difference in posture and comfort.

What’s your favourite stretch when you feel the weight of the world on you? Let us know in the comments 👇.

Headaches and migraines don’t always start in your head. Subtle restrictions in your spine, joints, or muscles can change how your body moves, affecting blood flow, nerve signalling, and muscular tension - all of which can trigger pain over time.

Osteopaths assess your body as a connected system, looking for restrictions and imbalances that may contribute to headaches. Gentle, hands-on techniques aim to restore movement, improve circulation, and ease strain - helping your body function more efficiently so you can get back to thinking clearly.

Call Altona Meadows Osteopathy on (03) 8360 8363 to explore osteopathic support for tension-free, more comfortable days.

🌿 Your Body Is One Connected System

Think your ankle doesn’t matter? Think again! A restriction there can subtly change the way you walk, sending ripples of tension up through your knee, hip, spine, and even your shoulder. Over time, these compensations quietly build up - and it doesn’t cause any pain for months or years later, and you can’t even remember the original injury 😅.

Osteopaths assess the entire kinetic chain, identifying hidden restrictions before they cause bigger problems. Addressing tension early helps your muscles, joints, and posture work together smoothly - no wobbling required.

Call Altona Meadows Osteopathy on (03) 8360 8363 to get your body moving in harmony.

Osteopathy views the body as one unit. Every joint, muscle, and tissue affects overall function, so a small tension in one area can influence movement, posture, and comfort elsewhere. By assessing and treating the body as a whole, osteopaths aim to restore balance, relieve discomfort, and support natural movement.

This holistic approach doesn’t just focus on symptoms – it also considers lifestyle, activity patterns, and even stress, recognising how these factors impact structure and function.

📞 Call Altona Meadows Osteopathy on (03) 8360 8363 to explore a truly whole-body approach to your wellbeing.

Slouching over your phone? Desk hunched? Sleeping in a twisty tangle? 🛌 These daily habits can stress your muscles and joints without you realising.

Sometimes simple modifications make all the difference:

1. hold your phone at eye level

2. adjust your chair and monitor height

3. try sleeping with a supportive pillow under your neck.

If small tweaks aren’t enough, an osteopath can assess your posture, release tension, and guide personalised exercises to keep your body moving comfortably 🌿

💃 Lifestyle Tip: Shake, Stretch, Sprint!

We all know life is hectic and sometimes fitting in exercise can feel impossible. But your body wasn’t designed to be hunched over a desk all day or collapsed on the sofa all night. 🛋️ But how to fit exercise into your day? Even short bursts count! Dance in the kitchen, chase the bus, lift groceries like a pro, or sneak in squats while waiting for the kettle to boil ☕.

Every little bit helps your muscles, joints, heart, and brain feel stronger - and it’s okay if you can’t do it all at once. 🌟

What’s your favourite way to sneak in movement? Tell us below 👇

📚 Word of the Day: Kyphosis 📚

The word kyphosis has been bending through time for more than two millennia. From the Greek kyphos, meaning bent or hu**ed, it was used by Hippocrates to describe forward curvature of the upper spine. Centuries later, physicians revived the term to classify postural changes and spinal deformities - some linked to conditions like Pott’s disease.

Today, osteopaths use kyphosis to describe the normal thoracic curve - assessing when that curve becomes exaggerated and affects balance, movement, or breathing.

Language, like the spine, evolves - sometimes with a little curve of its own. 🌿💬
