And that’s a wrap! It’s been fun, hard, special, a drag, a pleasure, a challenge, a blessing! SROAD was always going to be a short term project and we’re so proud to have made something bigger than ourselves and seen it through. Thank you for your support on IG/socials - the word of mouth, small interactions (likes/comments/shares/DMs) made a huge impact with visibility but also felt like a hug from friends some times. If you have friends, family, acquaintances who are small business owners, we’d encourage supporting them like this to keep that spark and support going! Best wishes to our clients, followers and associates 💙

Improving a work space with ergonomics is a great way to help reduce work-related aches, pains and injuries. Our osteopath can assess work stations and provide individualized advice aiming to improve a workplace. Expensive equipment or modifications are not always necessary and pain can sometimes be relieved or prevented using adjustments to your workspace & habits.

An oldie but a goodie. Ye olde massage. Before becoming an osteopathy, Dr Dave worked as a remedial massage therapist & myotherapist which means he has a good understanding of when massage is needed and often uses it, alongside other tools of the trade, in helping muscles and joints to behave better.

You gotta have a good understanding of biomechanics, physiology & anatomy to get this done right 👌 It's simple but can be very effective in "increasing the range of motion in a restricted joint or muscle". That's the very, very simplified description that Dave just gave to this dear writer about this technique. Other words he used included "golgi", "organ??", "spindles", "lengthening" "fibers" which were strung together in a way that sounded very complex, very gross, very impressive 😂

More and more osteopaths are using dry needling in their practice. It's so good for releasing those 'knots' or 'trigger points' in your muscles 🎯👋

Traction, mobilisation, rhythmic techniques, muscle energy techniques. Ahhh, articulation. There are so many ways to help manage musculoskeletal conditions. How wonderful that there are dedicated professionals out there who know which technique to pick for different people 🥰

Dr David loves exercise enough for the both of us here 😅 Having worked in a sporting club and years of weight lifting and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu behind him, not to mention almost daily research on new exercise programs on top of his osteopathy studies and training, he can offer individualized exercise advice to kids, teens, adults & the elderly! Exercise is huge for health and we'll never stop talking about it!!! How do you like to move your body?

Dietitian appointments are now being held on Thursdays via Telehealth. Why telehealth? Well, we're a small almost speak-easy-like practice you could say - tucked away inside a lovely dental clinic. One room between two practitioners. So we save room access for osteopathy. Also, talking is a big part of dietetic appointments. I mean, we talk about food. And food is everything! So we spend a lot of time talking about it. They're not appointments where you'll receive hands on therapy and fact sheets can be easily posted/emailed. Appointments are done in the comfort of home, in a back yard, maybe in the sunshine or in the kitchen. Clients can easily pull foods/drinks out of their pantry/fridge/bedside table 😉 to get answers on the spot. Video calls are always preferred - I like to see faces!! However, phone calls are always doable. Of course, we can try and accomodate for a face-to-face session if necessary.
