CHILDREN AND THEIR GROWING PAINS

As school holidays are ending and the young ones are returning to school, you may notice your children complaining of back or neck pain more frequently. While growing pains are a common cause, there are a few factors that can influence their growing bodies.

IPADS, PHONES and LAPTOPS.
Looking down to use such devices for extended periods can pull the back and neck into a straining position. Taking regular breaks, even if for just 5 minutes of stretching and also making sure they sit at a desk or table as much as possible, can help.

HEAVY BACKPACKS.
To try and minimise the impact that HEAVY BAGS have, use both padded straps with a firm chest strap to keep the weight as close to the child’s back. Packing the heaviest items closest to the body and removing unnecessary items to keep it light, will increase the comfort of the bag and minimise stress on the body.

EXERCISE- GET OUT AND PLAY!
A lack of physical activity is commonly linked to obesity and also known to contribute to developing back problems. Regular exercise helps to keep their core muscles supporting the spine strong and will help maintain flexibility- both of which will help to avoid weakness in the back.

HOW IS YOUR DESK SETUP?

With so many of us currently working from home, or at least spending more time in front of the computer, it is more important than ever to ensure you set your workstation up correctly to help protect your body

Compare the following checklist to your current set-up! It may be tempting to set up a ‘comfy’ work zone from the sofa or even your bed but we STRONGLY URGE you NOT to do so!

Remember also to give your body a rest from your "working posture", so get up and move around every 30-60 minutes.

1. Keep your elbows at right angles with your upper arms close to your body.
2. Wrists should be straight, rather than bent up, down or deviated.
3. Try to keep your hips slightly higher than your knees.
4. Your eyes should be level with the top of the screen to avoid extra strain on your neck, often leading to headaches.
5. Avoid wedging the telephone between the ear and the neck, use a headset or go hands-free.
6. If using a laptop, ensure that it is raised on books or with a proper laptop stand.

If you find you are ending the workday with a stiff and sore neck, back or frequently have Headaches, Please get in contact to see if we can help out.

Hey everyone!

I hope you all are well and trying to stay as active and healthy as possible!

With some restrictions being eased we have noticed an increase in our client's activity levels, which has been great!
BUT, it has also presented them with some issues as they get themselves back into the things they love doing.

This is why we have decided to offer a special for the month of June!
We really want to give everyone the opportunity to get back to living their active lives the way they want, without the worry of pain or stiffness.

So, for the month of June, your first 3 appointments with us will only be $50 EACH!

This is the perfect opportunity for those who are curious about Osteopathy, or those understandably on a tight budget at the moment. As long as your first appointment is before the 30th of June, the deal is yours!

As always, thank you for taking the time to read our post, and if you have any questions, big or small get in touch.

We hope to work with you to a healthy, pain-free life.

We move for life. We move for work. We move for fun. We move for sport. Movement is integral to who we are.

The aim of H.M. Osteopathy is to enable people to get back to moving in the way they want. Our philosophy is focussed on providing our customers with exceptional quality treatment, whilst treating them as we would our own family.

Therefore, we work closely with every individual in order to design a detailed plan that meets their needs and fits in with their capabilities and lifestyle. We implement a collaborative approach with all our clients. We look at what we can provide as Osteopaths and combine this with what you can do as the client to ensure you reach your movement goals. This means our clients leave feeling more educated and confident in achieving long term success in their rehabilitation.

As Osteopaths we want to ensure your time with us is limited. Our job is to help get you moving again, become pain-free and live the life you want to live as soon as possible. A big part of this is equipping our clients with the information and skills required to get their recovery moving in the right direction, but also to maintain it in the long run without the need for us holding their hand. The more educated you are as the client the more you will understand your own body, and the more empowered you will feel to lead the life you want to live.

To do this, we provide hands-on treatment and detailed assessment of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. This includes personalised, adaptive management plans which are specific to you and your goals. We are passionate about the health of all our patients and will do everything we can to get you moving at your best.

We help clients with a range of various conditions. Whatever the issue, get in contact with us and we will discuss if we are the best people to help!

Some of the conditions we can help in managing at H.M Osteopath include:
• headaches and migraines
• neck pain
• back pain
• shoulder pain
• sporting injuries
• soft tissue sprains and strains
• arthritis
• sciatica
• workplace injuries.
