🌱 Growth is a wild time for the body — bones lengthen faster than muscles and fascia can adapt, and suddenly things feel tight, achy or “out of sync.”

💥 Knees that hurt after sport, backs that ache after sitting, shoulders that slump forward… these can all be signs the body is struggling to keep up with change.

✨ Osteopathy helps restore balance by gently releasing fascia, easing tension around growing joints, and improving coordination — so the body can move freely again.

🌿 We love helping teens grow into their strength, comfort and confidence.
If your teen is feeling those growing pains, it might be their fascia asking for a little help.

Breastfeeding isn’t “one position fits all” — especially when breast shapes differ. 💛

If your ni**le naturally points downward, then placing baby in a classic tummy-to-tummy position often means the ni**le ends up sitting off-centre in their mouth… usually too far toward the bottom cheek.

👉 And when the ni**le isn’t centred, baby can’t cup the lower tongue properly, which can lead to:
• Shallow latch
• Clicking
• Sore ni**les
• Fussing or popping on and off
• Fatigue at the breast

In this video, I show you how to adjust baby’s position so the ni**le lines up with the middle of their mouth, no matter which way your ni**le points naturally.

✨ A tiny tweak in angle can make a HUGE difference in comfort and milk transfer — for both of you.
Your body isn’t “wrong.” You simply need a position that matches your unique anatomy.

If feeding has felt harder than it should… you’re absolutely not alone, and we can help. 💕

Your body is your subconscious mind.
– Candace Pert

Your body expresses what your mind may not have words for:
🌿 The tension you carry in your jaw
🌿 The tight breath held high in your ribs
🌿 The heaviness in your diaphragm
🌿 The posture you fall into when you’re stressed or overwhelmed

The body speaks first — long before we consciously realise what we’re feeling.

Through gentle osteopathic treatment, we help the body unwind those stored patterns, so your system can move from holding… to releasing… to healing.

Your body is always communicating.
The real transformation begins when we learn to listen. đź’›

A flat spot isn’t just about the head — it’s often a sign your baby is finding one direction much easier than the other. 💛

Torticollis simply means one side of the neck is tighter, and that can make:
👉 feeding easier on one breast
👉 rolling happen only one way
👉 the head resting in the same spot over and over

The more time spent on one side, the more chance a flat area appears.

✨ What helps?
The BEST thing to do for these babies is give them lots of sensory experiences on the non preferred side.
đź’›Massage the hand, foot, arm and leg; lay them on their side on the non preferred side;
đź’›gives lots of visual movement to the non preferred side;
đź’›carry them on both sides of you body rather than always the same way;
đź’›if bottle fed make sure to change which side you hold them each time.
Other useful things include:
• Short bursts of tummy time
• Upright carrying
• Placing toys or yourself on their non-preferred side
• Feeding positions that encourage different head turns

If your baby has a clear one-sided preference or a flat spot that’s becoming more noticeable, it can be helpful to have their movement and comfort checked.

Gentle osteopathic care focuses on supporting ease, balance and relaxed movement. 🌿

đź’Ą Tired of the same injury showing up again and again?
It’s not bad luck — it’s your body’s memory at work.

⚡️ Muscles and joints might heal, but the patterns that caused strain often remain.
💫 Old injuries, scars, or even emotional stress can subtly change how you move and load your body — creating hidden tension that keeps pulling you off balance.

Osteopathy helps you find and release those old strain patterns, so your body can finally move with ease — not just compensate.

đź§  Your body remembers.
💆‍♀️ Our job is to help it reset.

If breastfeeding feels painful on just one side, it’s often not about the breast — it’s about your baby’s tongue. 👶💛

Sometimes, the tongue can’t cup evenly underneath on one side.
This can make feeding feel different or more uncomfortable on that breast.

When I see this, I often notice that when baby cries, the tongue or jaw moves lower on one side — a little clue that there’s some tightness there.

Gentle movement and massage under the tongue can help relax that area so the tongue can move more freely and evenly.

Every feed should feel comfortable — for you and your baby. 🌿

✨ Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s strategic maintenance for your whole system.

When you nurture your mind, body, and soul, you create harmony — not just relief. 🌿
A calm nervous system, relaxed fascia, and steady breath don’t just feel good — they lay the foundation for healing, balance, and resilience in everything you do.

Whether it’s rest, movement, or treatment — each act of self-care is a message to your body:
👉 “You’re safe now. You can heal.”

Feeding might look like it’s all about the mouth — but it’s actually a whole-body team effort. 💪👶

Your baby coordinates their head, neck, trunk, tongue, and jaw to feed efficiently.
When one area feels tight or unbalanced, feeding can become harder work.

✨ Tips to support smooth feeding:
• Keep baby’s ear–shoulder–hip in line
• Avoid chin tucked tightly to the chest
• Offer gentle tummy time and shoulder holding between feeds

If your baby seems tense, strongly prefers one side, or struggles to stay latched, it’s worth having their comfort and movement checked.

🌿 Gentle osteopathic care can support relaxation and balanced coordination — helping feeds feel calmer and easier.

Just because your scans are clear doesn’t mean your body is.
Pain can linger when tension, restriction, or nervous system stress hold your tissues in “protect” mode instead of “heal” mode.

Osteopathic treatment works by restoring the subtle motion and balance your body relies on to regulate pain and maintain ease.

We don’t just look for what’s broken — we look for what’s not moving.
And once that flow returns, your body can often do the rest. 🌿

Babies are never lazy. đź’›
If a milestone isn’t happening yet, it’s usually because something feels hard for them — not because they’re not trying.

Every movement your baby makes takes coordination, balance, and comfort.
When one part of their body feels tight or restricted, it can make progress trickier.

Our role is to support their comfort, make movement easier, and help them find their own rhythm for development. 🌿

🌿 “The natural force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.” — Hippocrates

At the heart of osteopathy lies this truth — your body holds its own healing intelligence.
Our role isn’t to fix you, but to listen, support, and clear the way so that your system can do what it was designed to do — find balance, repair, and thrive. 💫

Tummy time isn’t just for “strong backs” — it helps your baby learn how to move their body independently of their head!

✨ At first, when babies lift their head, their arms and legs often move at the same time.
✨ Tummy time helps them dissociate these movements, gaining independent control of limbs and trunk.

Other tummy time benefits:
đź’› Builds neck, shoulder, and core strength
đź’› Encourages rolling, reaching, and early coordination
đź’› Supports head control and trunk stability

How to make tummy time fun:
đź‘¶ Short, frequent sessions on a firm, safe surface
đź«¶ Face-to-face play and toys to encourage lifting and turning
đź’› Side-lying and lap-supported play for variation

If your baby struggles with head lifting, turning, or independent limb movement, it’s a good idea to book a gentle check.

🌿 Play, explore, and strengthen — every little movement counts!
