💡 Did you know that protein makes up 17% of our bodies?
Not only can it help to build muscle and speed up your metabolism, it can also help your body to repair after exercise and speed recovery after injury. Safe to say, we are pretty big protein fans around here! 🌟

Here are some easy ways to incorporate protein into your diet:
✔️ Add some seeds or nuts into a salad
✔️ Try hummus and carrot sticks as an afternoon snack
✔️ Swap out your cereal one morning for some eggs (try poached for a healthy option)

Let us know your favourite protein snack! 👇

Working in an office typically involves spending a great deal of time sitting at your desk, which is a position that can add stress to the structures in the spine.

A good, supportive office chair prevents the fatigue and discomfort that can come from sitting in the same chair for hours on end. Two of the simplest features to look for in a chair is good lumbar support and adjustability, as these help to support your lower back

Osteopaths Cecilia and Maddy can help you with some advice about work desk station ergonomics and if you need a new office chair what to look out for in a good office chair. Most people have ergonomic chairs and desks but just don't use them correctly so let us Help you!

You can chat to your osteopaths Cecilia or Maddy if you need some help with a new office chair and we can help you with some ergonomic advice and what to look out for when setting up your work space.

While we all love to get straight into our fitness in the new year, many of us forget that our body needs to be in prime condition to perform effectively. Ways to help minimise these risks are to participate in some easy tasks; these can be as simple as warming up before a run or including a rest day as a recovery between sessions. You can chat to both Cecilia or Maddy about your favourite activities and we will help prescribe appropriate stretches and exercises to ensure you are able to perform these with ease!

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a type of treatment that incorporates the study of ‘biomechanics’ (i.e. how the body moves). It focuses on the whole body and how one part of the body influences and works with another. By working with muscles, tendons, the spine and nerves (i.e. the whole shebang!), we are able to get to the root cause of any issue and help balance the body and improve overall health. We use a variety of techniques such as spinal manipulation, soft tissue massage, stretching and articulation to support holistic treatment! 🤗
