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.

🌸BREASTFEEDING PROBLEMS?🌸

Breastfeeding for most should be the most natural thing in the world, and for many new mums it is if you decide it’s for you. However if it isn’t working well, it can be distressing for both mother and baby. Understanding why some babies struggle can help to identify possible solutions to the problem.

Musculoskeletal issues are a common factor for breastfeeding related problems. Very often these involve neck and jaw issues.
Common breastfeeding issues include:
✔️difficulty in latching
✔️preference to 1 side
✔️arching back when feeding
✔️distress or discomfort when placed for feeding
✔️ineffective suckling

Did you know that osteopathy came help with this? Both Charlotte and Chantal can expertly treat babies.
They offer cranial Osteopathy which uses a combination of gentle techniques to help release tension and stress. It focuses on:
✔️the neck head and mouth - by gently releasing tension it contributed to improving suckling & reducing air sealing during feeds.
✔️Visceral tension caused by colic creates tension in the sound which affects the mobility of the back and neck. This can interfere with food absorption as well as making breastfeeding more difficult.

💥FEELING THE PAIN OF SUMMER?💥

Many of us with summer holidays in full swing are out of routine meaning more time with the children, picking them up, sleeping in a different bed, lifting suitcases or long drives - have you noticed your posture has got worse?

Having poor posture doesn’t just affect your spine but it can also cause poor circulation,aches and pains in your muscles and joints, pain in your neck and shoulders as well as causing general stiffness.

When you have poor posture, your musculoskeletal system becomes misaligned. This can mean that your spine is more prone to injury, affects your balance and it can affect your breathing and your digestion.

THAT’S WHERE WE COME INTO HELP💙

By having osteopathic treatment, we use a range of manual techniques, including mobilisation and manipulation, to help improve joint mobility. We can gently manipulating your joints and soft tissues, which can help reduce tension and improve alignment. This in turn can improve your posture and balance.

If you are suffering we can help to correct your posture to give you relief from pain and discomfort.

💙LET’S TALK ABOUT KNEES💙

Today’s focus is our knees!

FUN FACT
There are around 360 joints in the human body connecting one bone to another – with 270 bones at birth, which decreases to 206 as we age as parts of our bones fuse together.

The knee is the largest joint in the body and one of the most stressed joints of the body!

You can get knee injuries from running and other high impact sports especially those that involve jumping and/or sudden turns, and particular kinds of work eg. Plumbers and carpet fitters and those who work with young children spend a lot of time on their knees or in squatting positions and are prone to knee problems.

The Knee’s main functions are to:
• support the body in an upright position without the need for muscles to work.
• help to lower and raise the body
• help to propel the body forward.
• provide stability.
• act as a shock absorber.
• allow twisting of the leg.
• make walking more efficient.

Some key facts that you may not know:

1. It bears our weight during almost every daily activity.
2. Knees absorb a lot of shock whether you’re doing a gentle walk to jumping or running.
3. The knee is the most complicated joint in the body.
4. Your knee needs 10 muscles to function.
5. Wearing unsupportive shoes can add pressure to the knees and damage them.
6. Babies are born without kneecaps

GOT A KNEE PROBLEM?
If you have pain in your knee/s whether or not you recognise any of the above terms for the most common knee problems listed above it is important to seek a diagnosis and treatment as early as possible.
