Starting new exercise or getting back into it after a break can be exciting for some and daunting for others. Here are Osteopath Jesse’s top tips for avoiding injury when beginning new exercise 💪🏽

🤍 Make a plan

Decide how often you’re going to exercise, how long each session will be, and what type of exercise you’re going to do.

🤍 Keep it simple

Especially with weight training, the simplest exercises are often the best. They’re easy to remember, quick to set up, and simple to progress by adding weight. Simple exercises done well and consistently are highly effective.

🤍 Start slow

Resistance training and cardio should be challenging but not impossible. Begin with lighter weights and increase gradually. The same applies to running—avoid increasing distance and intensity too quickly.

🤍 Seek advice when needed

Many gyms have staff who can help create programs for members. Osteopaths, physiotherapists, personal trainers, and exercise physiologists can also provide guidance with exercise programming.

🤍 Allow time for rest and recovery

Rest is essential—it’s when the body adapts and gets stronger. Remember, it is possible to exercise too much.

If you’re looking for further advice on getting into more exercise, book in with Jesse!

Happy New Year! We are excited to see you all in 2026, many exciting things to come this year 🍾🎊

29/12/2025

As we head into 2026, remember that your goals don’t have to be big, shiny, or impressive. You don’t need a “new year, new me” moment. What matters is choosing things that feel real and doable for you—not what looks good to other people 🫶🏻

This might look like:

🤍 Setting small goals you can actually stick with.
🤍 Choosing a direction that fits your life, not someone else’s.
🤍 Considering goals that are aligned with your personal values.
🤍 Reflecting on what has worked for you in the past.

When your goals are realistic and achievable, they feel way more meaningful in the long run 📝🥰✨

Setting boundaries and protecting your mental health 💛 - some words of wisdom from our beautiful psychologist Alli 🥰

A boundary is a limit you set to protect your wellbeing - emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, or with your time 🧠💪💰⏰.

It helps you communicate your needs, so you can interact with others in a way that feels safe and sustainable 🫱🏼‍🫲🏾✨.

During the Christmas season, boundaries are especially important to minimise extra pressure and demands on your energy 🎄💆🏼‍♀️. Some ways to apply boundaries over the holidays include:

Saying “no” to events when your schedule is full ❌📅

Limiting time with people or situations that feel draining ⏳😮‍💨

Setting a budget for gifts and sticking to it 🎁💳

Choosing not to engage in stressful conversations 🗣️🚫

Blocking out personal downtime to recharge 🧘🏻‍♀️🌙

Boundaries help you enjoy the season in a way that feels balanced and calm 🌟💫

Getting a bit of time off over the holiday period? We are! 🎉🎅🏼
 Whether you’re travelling away or relaxing at home, here are a few tips and tricks osteopath Jesse recommends for managing pain and injury over the holidays 🤲🏻✨

Take your pillow with you 🛌

If you experience neck pain, back pain, or headaches 🤕 it can be a great idea to take your own pillow when you travel. Changing beds and pillows can aggravate these conditions—especially if you’re moving between different locations—and your body will appreciate the familiarity and support ☺️.

Break up long periods of sitting 💺

If you’re travelling—whether by car or plane—make sure you break up long stretches of sitting. Back and hip pain are commonly aggravated by prolonged sitting, and our bodies love regular movement 🚶🏻‍♀️. Aim to get up every 60–90 minutes: walk around the car a few times during rest stops 🚗 or take a stroll up and down the aisle on the plane ✈️.

Keep up regular exercise 🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️

Even though your usual routine may change over the holiday period, try to maintain some form of regular exercise 💃🏻. This might be your daily walk, a quick gym session, or sticking to the rehabilitative exercises your practitioner has prescribed. If you’re an athlete, keeping your body in good condition is especially important as preseason training approaches ⚽️🏏🏉.

Enjoy your time off 🥰☀️

Most importantly—enjoy yourself! The holidays are a great opportunity for physical and mental rest. Eat delicious food, soak up some downtime, and make the most of time with family and friends ❤️.

If you’d like support before heading away on holidays - book in with Jesse or one of our osteopaths today
