Your posture speaks before you do. 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️

Poor posture doesn’t just affect how you look — it impacts your spine, muscles, digestion, breathing, and even mood. The good news? A few simple daily habits can make a huge difference.

Here are 3 posture tips I give almost every patient:
🔹 1. Uncross your legs
It feels natural, but sitting cross-legged for hours can twist your pelvis and strain your lower back. Sit with both feet flat on the floor and your knees at hip level.
🔹 2. Reset your desk posture
Every time you check your phone or laptop, ask:
* Are my shoulders relaxed?
* Is my screen at eye level?
* Am I sitting up tall (not slouching)?
Posture is about awareness, not perfection.
🔹 3. Stretch once an hour
Set a timer. Stand up, roll your shoulders, stretch your neck and hips. It only takes 30 seconds but keeps your body moving and your posture in check.

✨ Consistency is key. These micro-changes add up over time.
💬 Which one do you need to work on most?

🔍 Osteopath vs Chiropractor: What’s the real difference?

Both help with pain, posture, and mobility—but their training, techniques, and philosophy set them apart.
🦴 Osteopaths
✔️ Trained in holistic healthcare, focusing on the whole body—not just the spine.
✔️ Use a wide range of gentle manual techniques: stretching, massage, joint mobilization.
✔️ Treat muscles, joints, circulation, and internal systems to support the body’s natural healing.
✔️ Often work with chronic pain, headaches, digestive issues, and postural imbalances.


🔧 Chiropractors
✔️ Specialize in spinal health and the nervous system.
✔️ Use high-velocity spinal adjustments to improve alignment and nerve function.
✔️ Focus on correcting subluxations (misalignments) in the spine.
✔️ Commonly treat back pain, neck pain, and nerve-related issues.

Osteopathy = whole-body, gentle, integrative care.
Chiropractic = spine-focused, targeted adjustments.

🦷✨ Struggling with Jaw Pain, Clicking, or Headaches? It could be TMJ Dysfunction.

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull — and when it’s not working properly, it can lead to:
🔹 Jaw pain or stiffness
🔹 Clicking or popping sounds
🔹 Headaches or migraines
🔹 Earaches or tinnitus
🔹 Neck and shoulder tension

👋 Here’s where osteopathy can help.

Osteopathic treatment takes a whole-body approach, working not just on the jaw, but also the neck, head, and posture to restore balance, reduce tension, and improve mobility.

💆‍♀️ Through gentle hands-on techniques, an osteopath can:
✔️ Ease muscle tension
✔️ Improve joint function
✔️ Support the nervous system
✔️ Relieve stress contributing to jaw clenching or grinding

🔄 TMJ issues often involve more than just the jaw — and that’s exactly why osteopathy works so well.

💥The Migraine Connection: What Your Muscles Might Be Telling You💥

Migraines aren’t just “bad headaches.” They’re complex neurological events that can be triggered by a variety of factors—stress, hormonal changes, poor posture, neck tension, or even jaw dysfunction.

While medication can help manage symptoms, it often doesn’t address the underlying causes. That’s where osteopathy comes in.

👐 How Can Osteopathy Help?
Osteopathic treatment focuses on the whole body—especially the musculoskeletal system.

Through gentle manual techniques, we aim to:
💥Release tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back
💥Improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage
💥Restore mobility to joints and tissues
💥Reduce strain on the nervous system

These adjustments can help reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraines over time.

🧠 Why Your Posture Might Be Causing Your Headaches – and How Osteopathy Can Help

💥Feeling tension headaches that just won’t go away? The culprit might be closer than you think — your posture.

When you spend hours hunched over a screen or looking down at your phone, your head shifts forward and your shoulders round. This common postural issue, often called “tech neck”, places excess strain on the muscles and joints in your upper back and neck.

⚠️ Over time, this can lead to:

Muscle tightness

Nerve compression

Reduced blood flow

And yes… chronic headaches

✅ How Osteopathy Can Help

Osteopathic treatment focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of pain — not just the symptoms. Using gentle, hands-on techniques, an osteopath can:

🔹 Release muscle tension
🔹 Improve spinal alignment
🔹 Restore mobility
🔹 Reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches

Don’t let posture-related pain become your “new normal.”
We’re here to help you feel better — naturally.

WORK FROM HOME AND IN PAIN?💥

Desk posture matters more than you think.

Many of the patients we see at Charlotte Hunt Osteopaths experience discomfort that stems from prolonged sitting and poor desk ergonomics.

If you spend hours at a computer, it’s worth checking in on your posture.

Here are 3 key tips to reduce strain and support your spinal health.

🔹 1. Keep your feet flat and hips level
Ensure your feet rest flat on the floor (or on a footrest) and your hips are level or slightly higher than your knees. This helps maintain a neutral pelvis and reduces lower back pressure.

🔹 2. Screen height matters
Your screen should be at eye level so you’re not tilting your head down. Constantly looking down can lead to forward head posture — a common cause of neck and upper back tension.

🔹 3. Support your lower back
Use a small cushion or rolled towel at your lower back to support the natural curve of your lumbar spine. This encourages upright sitting and prevents slumping.

⚠️ Did you know?
Even with perfect posture, sitting too long isn’t ideal. Aim to stand up and move every 30–45 minutes — even brief movement helps circulation and reduces joint stiffness.

We regularly help patients with posture-related discomfort with hands-on treatment, education, and tailored movement advice.

💬 If you’re experiencing recurring back, neck or shoulder issues, we’d be happy to help.
