Wellness chiropractic focuses on keeping your body moving well and functioning at its best-not just fixing pain when it arises.

Regular chiropractic care can help you:

🔹Maintain proper spinal alignment

🔹Improve posture and flexibility

🔹Support overall energy and wellbeing

🔹Reduce the risk of discomfort before it starts

Think of it as a tune-up for your body. Just like your car needs regular maintenance, your spine and nervous system benefit from ongoing care.

Take small steps today to invest in your everyday health. Your body will thank you tomorrow.

Your shoulders are constantly in motion – reaching, lifting, typing, carrying. Over time, stiffness or pain can limit your movement and affect your daily life.

Chiropractic care can help maintain and improve shoulder mobility by:

🔹Supporting proper joint alignment

🔹Reducing tension in surrounding muscles

🔹Improving range of motion and function

Even small improvements can make everyday tasks easier and more comfortable.

✅ Gentle adjustments and tailored exercises can help your shoulders move freely again.

If shoulder stiffness is holding you back, book an assessment to see how chiropractic care can support your movement.

It’s easy to confuse the two, but they affect different tissues in your body:

💪 Strain:
Affects a muscle or tendon (the tissue that connects muscle to bone).
Often caused by overstretching, lifting, or sudden movement.
Symptoms can include tightness, weakness, or muscle spasms.

🦵 Sprain:
Affects a ligament (the tissue that connects bone to bone).
Usually from twisting, falling, or landing awkwardly.
Common signs include swelling, bruising, and joint instability.

Sprains are graded by severity:

Grade 1: Mild stretch or microscopic tear

Grade 2: Partial tear with some loss of function

Grade 3: Complete tear, often causing joint instability

If pain or swelling lasts more than a few days, get it checked before returning to activity.

The busier life gets, the easier it is to push rest to the bottom of the list. But here’s the truth-your body and mind need pauses to recharge and perform at their best.

Even a few mindful minutes can make a difference: stretch, breathe deeply, take a short walk, or simply step away from your screen.

Small breaks aren’t wasted time-they’re maintenance for your energy and wellbeing.

Have a great weekend, from the team at Better Back 👋

👨‍💻Typing, scrolling, and mouse work can leave your wrists, forearms, and shoulders tight and tired.

Here are 3 simple self-massage techniques you can do right at your desk:

1️⃣ Forearm release:
Use your opposite thumb to apply gentle pressure along the muscles of your forearm. Slowly move from your wrist toward your elbow, stopping on any tender spots.

2️⃣ Bicep roll:
With your arm relaxed, use your opposite hand or a massage ball to roll slowly along your bicep. This helps reduce arm tension from repetitive lifting or desk work.

3️⃣ Shoulder squeeze:
Reach across your body and gently squeeze the top of your shoulder, holding pressure for 10–15 seconds before releasing. Repeat a few times on each side.

Take a few deep breaths while you do these-relaxation helps your muscles respond better. 🙌

Tip: Keep a massage ball or small foam roller near your desk as a daily reminder to loosen up.

😌Remedial massage goes beyond relaxation. It targets the source of tension, stiffness, and discomfort so your muscles and joints can move more freely.

Whether it’s tight shoulders from desk work, sore legs after a long run, or general muscle fatigue, remedial massage helps your body recover and function better.

🙌Regular sessions can support posture, relieve stress, and improve overall mobility, helping you feel lighter and more flexible in your everyday movements.

Think of it as maintenance for your body-small adjustments now prevent bigger issues later.

Tip: Pair massage with gentle stretches or mobility exercises to maximise results and maintain flexibility between sessions.

🏃Running is simple, but our bodies aren’t. Every stride puts stress on your feet, knees, hips, and spine. Sports chiropractic isn’t just for professional athletes- it helps everyday runners keep moving comfortably.

➡We focus on improving joint mobility, releasing tight muscles, and aligning your body to reduce the risk of overuse injuries. Even small adjustments can make a noticeable difference in your stride, efficiency, and recovery.

➡Whether you’re training for a 5K, a marathon, or just running for fitness, sports chiropractic can support your body so you can run stronger and recover faster.

➡Tip: Include dynamic warm-ups before your run and listen to your body for any persistent niggles. Early attention often prevents bigger injuries down the track.

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) isn’t just for tennis players- it can affect anyone who repeatedly strains their forearm muscles.

Common situations and professions:

Office workers – extended typing, mouse use, or repetitive desk tasks

Tradespeople – Chefs, plumbers, carpenters, and electricians who lift, twist, or use tools frequently

Musicians – guitarists, violinists, drummers, or anyone using repetitive wrist and arm movements

Healthcare professionals – nurses and physiotherapists who lift or manipulate patients

Home activities – gardening, painting, or DIY projects that involve repetitive gripping or twisting

How myotherapy can help:

✅Targeted massage and soft tissue techniques to reduce forearm tension

✅Promote healing and improve blood flow to the affected area

✅Restore mobility and reduce pain

✅Strengthening exercises to prevent recurrence

💡 Tip: Early intervention can help you return to work, sport, or hobbies faster and prevent chronic issues.
