🌿 What is Homeopathy? 🌿
Homeopathy is a natural healing system using highly diluted, energised substances from plants, minerals, or animals. Through a special process called succussion (vigorous shaking), the remedies are made potent—not by strength, but by energy.

With over 15,000 remedies, homeopathy is widely used around the world—in places like Germany, India, and even in Cuba’s public health system. It’s gentle, cost-effective, and doesn’t interact with conventional meds, making it a powerful support for both physical and emotional healing.

Think of it as medicine that works with your body’s energy—not against it.

Feeding difficulties? 🤱 Could it be a tongue tie or other oral/ cranial restrictions? 👅

If your baby is struggling with feeding, latching, or has symptoms like clicking sounds, reflux, stomach pains, or slow weight gain — a tongue tie could be the cause.

Come and see us with your jaw pain!

Not only is jaw pain very common, affecting up to 60 to 70% of the population, women are at least four times more likely to suffer from this disorder.
What may cause your jaw pain?

Pain might be caused by muscle tightness, mobility problems in the jaw or upper spine.

How may an osteo help with jaw pain?

Your osteopath will ask you about your lifestyle, medications, activities to find out more about your pain, and will examine your jaw and surrounding areas, often using their hands to feel for any problems. Your jaw pain may be related to other issues, such as headaches or earaches.

If you are suffering from jaw pain contact an osteopath near you - click link in bio!

Osteopaths work with babies to help release physical tension, address movement concerns, promote body symmetry and encourage optimal physical function in newborns.

Not all osteopaths treat babies and infants, so make sure you contact your local clinic before making an appointment.

Sad news for those that knew and loved the original Osteopath in Port Macquarie- John Norman who passed last week.
He was well known for being a great human and a skilled Osteopath.
A good life time friend and mentor of Anthony’s and more recently to all the crew at BodyIQ where we would aee him weekly for his Pilates class.
In fact, John is the reason Anthony is an Osteopath today (otherwise he would have been a surgeon or an engineer).
John was a great mentor to Anthony and he was also great company- he always had something interesting to say and a different perspective to add.
He will be missed but could never be forgotten. He was one of a kind.
We will be attending his funeral sorry for appointments that will have to be rescheduled. Xx
