As we accumulate more birthdays, we start to feel how our mobility changes. Simple movements become challenging.

We've resigned ourselves to grunting when we get off the couch.

Making excuses to avoid physical activities. “Later” is the carrot on a stick that always remains just out of reach

Feeling like our body is breaking down faster than we can fix it.

But here's what's terrifying about that acceptance.

You're meticulously planning for a retirement you’ll probably not be able to enjoy.

You understand that small, consistent investments today create massive returns later… but not when it comes to your physical & mental health.

You're not investing nearly enough in the body you'll need to enjoy that money.

Going to the gym isn’t enough. The mechanics of your body need servicing - adjustments.

Joints must move through their normal range, otherwise compensations & postural changes WILL happen.

“Resting” after an injury is stupid. If you’re car was working as well as your body, you wouldn’t park it up for a few days and expect it to be back to normal!

And the math is brutal -

8,736 hours in a year
- 2,900hrs sleeping (based on 8hrs sleep)
- 5,000hrs sitting (based on 14hrs daily sitting)

As we age, we naturally experience muscle loss. Our whole body degrades - structurally, functionally, chemically

And to add to that… we sit for around 14 hours a day…

We're literally the most sedentary generation in human history!!

So while you dream of retirement adventures...

Traveling the world…

Playing with grandkids…

Finally having time for hobbies…

Your body is quietly preparing for the opposite reality!!

What good is financial freedom if you struggle to get out of a chair or can't walk up stairs?

What's the point of saving for travel if you need help getting off the floor?

How will you enjoy retirement if you can't stand without pain?

If pain is sidelining you now, it’ll be much worse when you’re older.

All the money in the world won't buy back the muscle and mobility you're losing right now.

You're financially planning for independence at 65.

But physically planning for independence?

Here's the good news…

Just like compound interest builds wealth over decades...

Small, consistent movements compound into lifelong mobility.

But it has to be the RIGHT movements.

Not random exercises or generic stretching routines.

Avoid trends, gadgets and the weekend trained “specialists”.

I offer treatments specifically designed to reverse what decades of sitting does to your body.

You see, after working with thousands of people on their mobility…

I discovered how to systematically rebuild the movement foundation most people lose as they age.

Osteopathy has been around for 150yrs for a reason - it works! No gimmicks. Just time-proven effective treatment protocols that work.

It’s never too early to have a chat about this aspect of retirement and old age!

Are you stuck in our broken health care system listening to people say:

"Migraines CAN'T Be Fixed"

Medications are punishing - few, if any benefits but many side effects to cope with. All because it's believed the "Migraine Merry-Go-Round" can't be fixed.

I was one of those people. Suffering with monthly migraines for more than 10 years that left me unable to function. Medication just made things "the same but different".

Even after I qualified as an osteopath, migraines persisted. Turns out, modern osteopathic practices couldn't help. That said, if there's a 'modern version' of something, then there must be an 'old version'... Classical Osteopathy.

Classical Osteopathy is "Old School Principles Based Osteopathy". Traditional hands-on manual therapy based on a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology.
Classical Osteopaths understood something medical doctors of that era didn't - the vital importance of the interrelationship between the body's structure, function and dysfunction.

This concept doesn't need to make sense to everyone but osteopathic principles had now changed how we viewed health and how ill health issues were killing patients. Osteopathy was, and still is solving real problems.

Despite all the research into migraines, there's still "No Cure". My personal experience was medications had little to no benefit. Other people I speak to say, some symptoms eased while some got worse.

I found my migraine solution in a book written by osteopathic physician Dr. M.E Clark, D.O, 1910. Albeit a basic model, I spent years studying the anatomy around the concept by Clark, and now I understand something doctors and specialists don't - How To Eliminate Migraines.

I haven't had a migraine in +7yrs!! I've treated many patients over the years and +90% have been migraine-free since their treatment. The current system for migraine sufferers is broken but there's a better solution.

Cynics say that if the doctors and specialists can't help, what can an osteopath do? Great question! The difference is medications try to reduce symptoms. I find and fix the cause... and with many migraines, there are predictable patterns leading to diagnosis and treatment.

Stop listening to people who think the current system is permanent. it's not. I've an effective system that works.

Health Isn't A Bonus!

Health determines your fitness

Health determines your ability to move easily

Health determines your mood, motivation and mobility

Health determines how much medication you take

Health determines your physical health

Health determines your mental health

Health determines your sleep quality

Health determines your awareness

Because...

Health is a full time job!!

Health is being active - going to the gym, yoga, pilates, etc...

Health is having osteopathy - adjusting postural problems, adjusting dysfunctional joints, correcting nerve problems, etc...

Health is drinking plenty of clean water

Health is eating good quality food, as well as understanding the benefits of fasting

Health is using supplements to support your body's overall health

My role is to help you find health

Illness isn't something you should suppress with medications. It's an indicator of your body's overall level of health. Stressors that should prompt lifestyle change

Your Health Is The Foundation Upon Which Your Life Is Built upon

Older YOU is watching and wanting you to be proactive because old age is a bitch!! Worse when you don't have the physical health and ability to look after yourself.

Now Is The Time To Fix Your Priorities

Are you taking a product that is contributing to inflammation, cellular damage and early degeneration?

You might believe that taking painkillers is ”healthy” because it seems to get rid of your pain. But it’s not that simple. Painkillers work by blocking pain signals reaching your brain. But, all medications come with a myriad of unwanted side effects - stomach ulcers, reflux, liver damage, confusion, constipation, etc… regardless of whether they‘re over the counter or prescribed.

Prolonged painkiller-use creates the need for other medications to manage these newly acquired side effects and subsequent symptoms.

But all of this could’ve been avoided if you had done things a bit differently!

It’s a matter of Cause & Effect.
All back or any joint pain has a cause (and it’s not a deficiency of painkillers!!).

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that helps relieve back pain caused by herniated discs, locked up joints, sciatica, or general spinal compression.

How does your spine get compressed?
Any movement can cause changes to the pressures exerted on the spine, its joints, discs, muscles, ligaments, nerves etc:
- Bending forward/ straightening up
- Leaning sideways
- Twisting left & right
- A combination of all 3
- A combination of all 3 while lifting/ carrying a weight
- A combination of all 3 while putting a weight down
- A combination of all 3 while lying in bed/ sitting on the sofa
- A combination of all 3 while at work or at the gym

- Is it a compensation from somewhere else?
- Is it an inflamed old injury?
- Is it a referred pain?
- Is it stress related?
- Is it a new injury?

Does Any of This Sound Familiar? If so, please don't wait for it to become a problem. Be proactive - it's your super power!!

By gently stretching the spine, manipulating stuck joints, easing overactive reflexes, all help to alleviate pressure on the discs and nerves, leading to pain relief, less physical stress & improved function.

Don’t let back pain keep you down. Book your osteopathy session today and take the first step toward recovery!

Osteopathy is Nature's Principles in action!!

After suffering from repeated episodes of right shoulder pain for 6yrs, going to the GP and other manual therapists, Carol booked an osteopathy appointment just before Christmas.

After a thorough screening, I adjusted her right elbow. Her elbow wasn't working properly and this was the source of her shoulder problem. The reason for her elbow problem was a minor injury she picked up at the gym, but the elbow wasn't painful, so nobody touched it.

All the stretching, exercises, resting, heat/ ice, tape, infrared, acupuncture, TENS machine, cupping, painkillers, anti-inflammatories, new pillows, changing sleep position, turmeric supplements etc, weren't having any real impact.

The elbow problem had also lead to other compensations, some postural changes, and ultimately, several areas of neck, back & pelvis pain.

After only two appointments:
- The shoulder pain is gone
- The neck pain & headaches have eased considerably
- Her low back & pelvis pain is improving
- She's sleeping better & feeling less stressed
- She's feeling fully committed to her New Year's Resolutions
- Her mood and motivation have improved

Nature's Principle = For Every Effect (shoulder pain), There is A Cause (elbow)

Nothing changes if the cause isn't found & fixed!

Best Advice For All Adults…

- Protect Your Physical Health - Because Recovery Takes Longer As You Get Older

- Pain doesn’t ”Go Away”!! It makes arthritis and degeneration happen faster

- THERE ARE NO CURES - JUST MAINTENANCE

- Address the CAUSE of your problems, and symptoms will go away. Symptom management does NOTHING for the CAUSE

- The worst thing you can do is to “Wait & See”. This causes chemical & physical changes

- The pharmaceutical industry has pills for everything but has cures for nothing. Also, is the most corrupt & heavily fined industry on the planet

- If you have to take pharmaceuticals, Google the nutritional deficiencies caused by your medications

- Google the “Metaphysical” causes of your diagnosed conditions - you might be very surprised by the possibilities. Not everything is “pathological”!!

- Only “Nature Cures” bring Balance

Osteopathy supports your life’s journey - it’s not “an event”.
