✨New at Bodyfocus ✨

We’re now stocking two collagen supplements from Designs for Health in-clinic, carefully selected by Sarah Hargrave (Osteopath & Naturopath).

🌿Whole Body Collagen
A premium collagen blend designed to support overall health and wellbeing.

🌿Complete Joint Collagen
A collagen formula with added turmeric extract, designed for those seeking extra nutritional support for their joints and connective tissues.

Why we might recommend these:
Collagen supplements may be considered for people who are interested in supporting:
The general health of their joints, tendons and ligaments
Their connective tissue integrity alongside movement and lifestyle strategies
Overall wellbeing as part of a holistic approach to care

Both products are practitioner-only, which means they are available to our patients following a consultation and recommendation from one of our practitioners.
If you’re curious, ask your Osteopath at your next appointment to see if these may be suitable for you.

💢 Jaw Pain or Stiffness? 💢

Do you notice:
✅ A tight or aching jaw after talking, chewing, or concentrating?
✅ Clicking or locking when you open or close your mouth?
✅ Headaches or tension in your face, neck, or temples?

These can all be signs your jaw is under extra strain—sometimes from clenching or grinding, stress, or even posture.

👩‍⚕️ At Bodyfocus, our osteopaths can:
• Assess how your jaw, neck, and posture are working together
• Use gentle hands-on techniques to ease tension and restore movement
• Provide tailored advice and exercises to reduce everyday strain
Because every person’s situation is unique, we take the time to understand your needs and create a plan that works for you.

👉If jaw discomfort is bothering you, booking an appointment with one of our osteopaths is a great first step toward relief.

Neck Pain? You’re Not Alone.
Ever felt like…
✔️ Your neck is stiff or sore after working at your desk, scrolling on your phone, or just waking up?
✔️ Tension spreads into your shoulders, upper back, or even causes headaches?
✔️Your neck just doesn’t feel “right,” even though there’s no obvious injury?

Neck pain is something most of us experience at some point. Often it eases within a few days, but sometimes it lingers—and that’s where we can help.

What’s behind it?
• Long hours at a desk or screen
• Stress and muscle tension
• “Tech neck” from looking down at devices
• Repetitive or awkward postures

How Bodyfocus Osteopathy Can Help:
We start by listening to you. Your experience guides our care—because no two situations are the same.

Our osteopaths may:
• Gently assess your neck, shoulders, spine, and posture
• Use hands-on techniques aimed at easing muscle tension and supporting natural movement
• Share simple, practical tips—like stretches, posture adjustments, and ergonomic advice
• Consider how your whole body is working together, not just your neck
Why visit us?

You don’t need a diagnosis to book in. If something doesn’t feel right, we’re here to help. Our approach is gentle, thoughtful, and focused on what you need—no pressure, no one-size-fits-all.

👉 If neck discomfort is affecting your daily life—whether it’s turning your head, sitting at your desk, or driving—an osteopathic assessment could be a helpful step.

📆Book an appointment today to explore what might be going on and how you may feel more comfortable moving again.

As the mornings get darker and the weather cools, it’s easy to let movement fall off the radar—but keeping active is just as important through autumn and winter. That’s why we love our Heart Foundation Walking Group!

This is a fun, relaxed way to keep moving and stay motivated with the support of others. Whether you’re easing back into exercise, looking for friendly company, or simply want to enjoy the outdoors—everyone is welcome.

📍 Walks are local, free, and suitable for all fitness levels. Ask at reception or visit our website for details.

Osteopaths, Luka Di Fabio and Sarah Hargrave, recently travelled to Melbourne to complete a course in the assessment and management of concussion.

They’ve returned with the latest research and practical tools to help support clients recovering from head knocks, sports-related injuries, and post-concussion symptoms.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Concussion:
Symptoms can appear immediately or hours after the injury and may include:
🔸Headache
🔸Dizziness or balance issues
🔸Fatigue or drowsiness
🔸Difficulty concentrating
🔸Memory disturbances or amnesia
🔸Slurred or incoherent speech
🔸Physical incoordination

While many people recover from a concussion within 2–4 weeks, around 35% experience persistent symptoms. This condition is known as Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) and can significantly affect daily activities, work, and quality of life if left unaddressed.

If you or someone you know is still feeling the effects of a concussion, we’d love to help.

🎉Celebrating 10 Years of Sarah at Bodyfocus! 🎉

We might be a little late in marking this milestone (we’re only human!), but we couldn’t let it pass without celebrating 10 incredible years with our extraordinary Osteopath, Sarah Hargrave.

Sarah’s dedication to her profession and her passion for helping others is nothing short of inspiring. Her genuine curiosity and thirst for learning drive her to continually expand her knowledge — always looking for new ways to make a difference. From completing a full Naturopathic degree while working and raising a family, to attending conferences on Long COVID care, exploring Buteyko breathwork for breathing dysfunctions, and most recently completing a Concussion Management course — Sarah is always seeking new tools to better support her patients’ health and wellbeing.

What makes Sarah so special isn’t just her expertise — it’s the heart she brings to everything she does. She blends her osteopathic skills with evidence-informed nutritional, naturopathic, and lifestyle advice to offer truly holistic, thoughtful care. And she’s always there for the team too — generous with her knowledge, kind, and quietly lifting us all.

Sarah, we are so lucky to have you as part of the Bodyfocus family. Your passion, wisdom, and generosity enrich our clinic every day — and we’re so grateful. 💛

Please join us in celebrating Sarah’s 10 years of incredible care — here’s to many more!

And a big thank you to Rae from for making the best Carrot Cake we’ve ever had!
