Neck Pain: More Than a Pain in the Neck 🖥️ 🚗

Neck pain can stem from a variety of causes - hours hunched over a laptop, muscle tension from stress, or even injuries like whiplash. Key muscles often involved include the trapezius, levator scapulae, and sternocleidomastoid, all of which help support and move your head and neck.

When these muscles tighten or movement in the cervical spine is restricted, you may notice stiffness, headaches, or reduced range of motion. Osteopathic techniques work to support mobility, ease muscle tension, and improve how the neck and shoulders move together.

If this sounds like you and you’re reading this thinking “I really should do something about my neck”, then let’s get to it! The sooner you start, the sooner the potential for relief. Head to our website today to get in touch and book your appointment here at the clinic.

Your Spine: The Foundation of Your Body 🏗️🦴

Did you know your spine is made up of 33 vertebrae? These bones protect your spinal cord - the vital highway that transmits signals between your brain and the rest of your body.

When the spine isn’t aligned properly, it can influence how your whole-body functions, potentially affecting movement, posture, and even comfort.

Osteopathy aims to support spinal alignment and encourage better overall body function, helping you move more freely and feel more balanced.

📞 Call (03) 9776 1600 to make an appointment with one of our osteopaths at Patterson Allied Health because a strong foundation matters.

Quote of the Day ✨

Say you’ve strained a muscle in your leg, and it just isn’t healing like you expected. Sometimes, we find that a slight pelvic misalignment is placing extra strain on your lower back and leg muscles, creating roadblocks to your body’s natural healing.

Our osteopaths work to help clear these roadblocks, supporting better alignment and easing muscle tension so your body can do what it does best: heal itself.

After all, we treat the WHOLE body, not just the area with symptoms. Give us a call on (03) 9776 1600 to make an appointment with one of our osteopaths at Patterson Allied Health. We’re here to help you move better, feel better, and get back to your life.

The Power of Posture: Your Whole Body Feels It 💪🧠

Posture isn’t just about how your back looks – it affects how your muscles work, how you breathe, how your joints move, and even how alert or tired you feel.

Everyday habits like crossing your legs, leaning to one side, or sitting slumped on the couch can quietly train your body into imbalance. Osteopathy works to support better posture by improving mobility, easing tension, and helping you build healthier movement patterns.
Feeling the effects of habit?

Feeling the effects of poor posture? Call (03) 9776 1600 to make an appointment with one of our osteopaths at Patterson Allied Health. We’re here to help you move and feel your best, one step at a time.

Yep – it’s a mouthful, but your spine might be saying it too!

From the Greek hyper (excessive) and kyphos (a hump), it describes that over-rounded upper back that can creep up over time – especially if you spend hours at a desk or glued to your phone 📱🧑‍💻

It may lead to stiffness, discomfort, or even changes in breathing and balance. Osteopathy aims to support better posture, ease tension, and help you move more freely.

Noticed a curve where there didn’t used to be one?

💧 Regular headaches? Don’t overlook the basics — dehydration is a common culprit!

Even mild fluid loss can affect blood flow and tension around the head and neck. If you're prone to headaches, try tracking your water intake for a few days. You might be surprised how much difference it makes.

Your body (and brain!) will thank you.

But if that doesn’t help there might be other factors at play – if you feel like you’ve got a lot of tension (especially in your jaw, neck or shoulders) musculoskeletal causes might be the culprit. Call us on (03) 9776 1600. We’re here to help with those.

Can’t get through a day without slugging some sugar or craving comfort food?

Your body might be sending you a signal it’s time for a change. 🍫☕️🍷🍟

Instead of reaching for a quick fix, why not try:

• A few gentle stretches to ease tension 🧘‍♂️
• Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated 💧
• Taking short walks to reset your posture 🚶‍♀️
• Deep breathing to calm your nervous system 🌬️

Sounds easy? We know it’s not, but we also know you can do hard things.

And if aches and pains keep crashing your day, it might be time to see an osteopath. We help get to the root of your discomfort, so you can feel good without the crutches. Call us on 9776 1600.

Your body will thank you!

How can we help?

You’ve pulled a muscle and now it’s sore, stiff, and not quite working the way it should. 😣💥

A muscle strain happens when muscle fibres are overstretched or torn. It might occur suddenly (🏃‍♂️💪) or build up gradually through repetitive use. And yes, sometimes it happens doing something REALLY dramatic… like sneezing, turning too quickly, or reaching for the remote like a hero in an action film. 🎬🤦‍♀️

Strains can affect any muscle, but common trouble spots include the back, neck, hamstrings and calves.
At Patterson Allied Health, we assess not just the injured area, but the why behind it. Was the muscle compensating for something else? Is there an imbalance in your movement patterns? 🤔🧠

Treatment may include gentle hands-on techniques to ease tension, reduce inflammation and restore normal function 🙌 along with personalised advice to help prevent future flare-ups.

We’re here to support your recovery every step (and stretch) of the way. 🧘‍♀️🦶 So call us on 9776 1600.

Click. Catch. Pop. Not the sound you want from your fingers. 🤌

Unless you're in a 90s boy band, your fingers shouldn’t be making dramatic sound effects. Trigger finger is what happens when a tendon gets stuck in its sheath, making your finger catch, lock, or suddenly snap straight - like it’s got a flair for the theatrical.

It’s often linked to repetitive gripping, inflammation, or conditions like diabetes or arthritis.

Osteopathic treatment can help by releasing tension through the hand, wrist and forearm, improving mobility and reducing irritation - so your fingers can go back to minding their own business. ☎️ Call us on 9776 1600 to speak to us at Patterson Allied Health. We’re here to help.

Because the only time your fingers should lock is on your phone screen. 📱
