TRIVIA TIME!
Your spine isnât straight â and itâs not meant to be.
It has three natural curves that act like shock absorbers.
When one curve becomes too flat or too exaggerated, discomfort can follow.
Osteopathy helps support healthy spinal movement and alignment.

As supporters of junior sport and proud sponsors of the Woady Yaloak Football Netball Club we are disheartened to hear that the BFNL made the decision to exclude the Woady Warriors from the league for the upcoming season.
Nearly 150 kids have been told to find new clubs if they want to keep playing the sports they love â just four weeks before the season begins. Osteo Kym and her family have been part of this club since its inception with all 3 of her kids part of the club.
Like many clubs, football players are in demand and most will reluctantly find new homes, despite the nerves that come with starting in a new environment. The netballers, however, have been left with very few options and little consideration from the league. Netball is booming in Ballarat, and most clubs are already at capacity â many with waiting lists â leaving around 80 girls without a place to play.
If you care about kidsâ sport â especially inclusion, girlsâ participation, and fair opportunities for all â please consider signing this petition (link in comments)
Thank you.
Donât bench our country kids! Let the kids Play!

đĄFun Anatomy Trivia đŠť
Your ribs move every time you breathe â about 20,000 times a day.
They donât just hinge; they twist slightly like bucket handles.
When they get stiff, your breathing can feel restricted and your upper back can get cranky.
Osteopathic treatment can help keep your rib mechanics smooth and comfortable.

What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a form of manual healthcare which provides 'hands on' treatment of the musculoskeletal system and recognises the important link between the structure of the body and its capacity to function efficiently. Osteopaths also believe that the skeleton, joints, muscles, connective tissues, circulation, nerves and internal organs function as a holistic unit.
We treat people of all ages to alleviate pain, reduce discomfort and enhance mobility. This pain can be from sport and work related injuries, to pregnancy pain, arthritis and sciatica. To ensure an accurate diagnosis is made, Osteopaths examine more than just the site of your pain or discomfort, we also examine surrounding and related body parts. The aim is to treat the cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.
Treatment
Osteopathic treatment involves a large variety of hands on techniques such as soft tissue massage, stretching, muscle energy technique (MET), joint mobilisation, manipulation and indirect (gently applied) techniques. Indirect techniques are very gentle techniques we use to treat babies and children and also adults who prefer a gentler approach. The choice of technique used depends on the condition the patient presents with as well as patient preference.
Common problems patients present for osteopathic treatment include:
Postural and mobility problems
Neck and back pain
Muscle and ligament strains
Sports injuries
Pregnancy related pain
Sciatica
Headaches
Digestive problems
Arthritis pain
TMJ and jaw pain
Hip, knee and ankle pain
Sports injuries
Bursitis
Tennis elbow
Plantar fasciitis
Wrist complaints and carpal tunnel
Sore or aching muscles
Rib pain
And so much more!
