Is Arthritis the same as Osteoarthritis? (HINT: No! ❌)

Arthritis is the umbrella term, and Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type under it. Understanding which one you have can change your entire management plan.

In our new blog, we dive into the details, covering:

✅ The difference between "wear and tear" OA and autoimmune types.
✅ Why exercise is the hero in managing OA pain.
✅ Simple symptom clues (like how long your morning stiffness lasts) that help with diagnosis.

Get the facts and take control of your joint health! Read the full post via the link in our bio!

"Your screen and input devices guide your posture. If they sit too high, low, or far away, your body follows."

It’s easy to forget, but the way you position your monitor, keyboard, and mouse shapes the way you sit — hour after hour, day after day.

If your workstation isn’t set up properly, your body compensates… and not in a good way. That forward hunch or awkward shoulder angle? It starts with your desk.

Take a moment to assess your setup. A small adjustment today could prevent big problems tomorrow.

💻 Tip: Your screen should be at eye level, and your keyboard and mouse within easy reach to keep your wrists and shoulders relaxed.

🥜 Pistachios are having their moment — and honestly, it’s well-deserved. These little green legends aren’t just tasty, they’re nutritional gold in a shell. 💚

Here’s why pistachios deserve the spotlight:

💪 Plant-based protein – One of the highest-protein snack nuts, with all 9 essential amino acids.
⚖️ Weight-friendly – High in fiber + protein = keeps you fuller for longer.
💚 Heart health – Rich in monounsaturated fats that support healthy cholesterol levels.
🧠 Brain + mood support – Packed with B6, crucial for brain function and serotonin production.
👁️ Eye health – Loaded with antioxidants like lutein & zeaxanthin to help protect your vision.
🌿 Gut health – Natural prebiotic fiber feeds your good gut bacteria.
🩸 Blood sugar control – Low glycemic and may help improve insulin sensitivity.

Snack on them solo, sprinkle them on oats, blend them into pesto — pistachios are crunchy, creamy, and completely having a glow-up. ✨

Pistachios are great, but what else is out there?

Want to stay strong, mobile and independent as you age? 💪🧠

Our latest blog explores why carrying weights — even just a couple of times a week — can make a huge difference in your last 10 years of life. Think fewer falls, stronger bones, better balance, and even a sharper brain. 🏋️‍♀️🦴

It’s not about lifting heavy — it’s about staying capable, confident and active for the long haul.

If you care about aging well (or helping someone who is), this one’s for you.

Myth Busted! 💥 Lying down all day can actually prolong your recovery.

The fact is, a little bit of appropriate, gentle movement is key to a healthy recovery. It helps reduce stiffness and build back your strength.

Bed rest is rarely the best cure for common back pain—movement is your friend!

If you're unsure where to start, check in with one of our Physiotherapists or Osteopaths for a personalized plan.
