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 9330 1212 to make an appointment with one of our osteopaths at Melville Osteopathy because a strong foundation matters.

Lower Back Pain: You’re Not Alone 🪑💢

Chronic lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek healthcare. It can sneak up after hours at a desk, heavy lifting at the gym, or even repeatedly bending to pick up the kids or shopping bags.

Often, it involves overworked muscles like the erector spinae (which keep you upright) or the quadratus lumborum (which helps you bend and stabilise your spine). Imbalances, weakness, or restricted movement in these areas (or others) may place extra strain on the lower back.

So if your back needs a little TLC, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll start with a thorough assessment and aim to find the root cause of your discomfort and tailor a treatment plan to get you moving well again.

Give our friendly team at Melville Osteopathy a call today on 9330 1212 and we’ll see you in the clinic real soon.

If that sounds familiar check out our latest blog at the link below 👇👇👇 to wrap your head around the causes, symptoms and, most importantly, what you can do about gluteus medius tendinopathy.

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 9330 1212 to make an appointment with one of our osteopaths at Melville Osteopathy. We’re here to help you move and feel your best, one step at a time.

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 9330 1212 to make an appointment with one of our osteopaths at Melville Osteopathy. We’re here to help you move better, feel better, and get back to your life.

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.

Easy for George to say - he was busy creating plays, manifestos and an impressive beard 🧔🏻‍♂️. But he’s got a point. We’re not waiting to stumble across some finished version of ourselves hiding under a rock 🪨. We’re building, shaping, adjusting (sometimes literally) muscle by muscle, joint by joint, vertebra by vertebra 🦴.

At its heart, osteopathy is about helping you create a life that moves well, feels strong, and supports what you want to do 💪. Not just finding comfort, but building it.

So let’s keep creating. One good movement at a time.

Quick Exercise: Tricep Dips

Got a chair and two minutes? Then you've got yourself a tricep workout. 💪

Tricep dips target the muscles at the back of your upper arm, but they also help support shoulder stability and posture, especially if you’re prone to slouching over a desk all day.

Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair, hands next to your hips. Slide forward and lower your body by bending your elbows, then press back up. Keep the movement slow and controlled - no collapsing into the floor, please.

Start with 8–10 reps, and keep the shoulders away from your ears!

📊 Did you know?

🦴 Up to 37 million fragility fractures occur globally each year in people over 55. That’s nearly 70 fractures every minute.

These aren’t high-impact injuries, they’re often caused by everyday slips, minor bumps, or even coughing. The culprit? Often osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and makes them more prone to break.

Osteopaths work to support bone health by improving mobility, posture, and balance; key factors in preventing falls. We also encourage early screening and lifestyle changes that support bone density.
Your bones do a lot for you. Let’s make sure they stay strong enough to keep up. ☎️ Give us a call on 9330 1212 to make an appointment with our osteopaths at Melville Osteopathy. We’re here to help.
