⚡️ Do you suffer from Dizziness, Headaches and Neck Pain? Have you had all the important eye checks, but nothing has been found wrong?

👁️ Do you struggle to maintain focus, get visual blurring, difficulty to maintain gaze, get visually induced dizziness or motion sensitivity? The last one can present as Travel Sickness.

While there are other causes, these symptoms are also often caused by mechanical issues in the subocciptal region (top of the neck below the skull).

👩‍⚕️We are trained to assess the causes of these symptoms, and if appropriate, treat to resolve the issue.

The sub occipital region is a Neuro-Musculoskeletal Integration Hub for Oculomotor (eye movement)and Vestibular (balance) Control, and plays a critical role in integrating afferent (sensory) input from the cervical, visual, and vestibular systems.

The suboccipital musculature is richly innervated with proprioceptors (receptors that feed back on body position and movement), serving as a major source of afferent feedback to the central nervous system (CNS) regarding head posture and motion, and contributing to cervico-ocular and cervico-vestibular reflexes.

👁️ Oculomotor Implications of Suboccipital Dysfunction

Through neuroanatomical connections with the brainstem and oculomotor control centers, the upper cervical spine influences eye movement coordination.

🦵 Quads Strengthening for Knee Osteoarthritis (wear and tear)

Many of you will know how we emphasise the need for sustaining strength in Quads muscles when OA is kicking in. We create Bespoke Exercise Programmes with video and commentary, that is emailed across, to make it as easy as possible for you!

Quadriceps strengthening as a part of lower extremity strengthening is effective in reducing pain in KOA and should be prioritised in patient-specific programs.

📚 Back to School time - how are your children wearing their school bag? It should have wide even length straps to carry the load across the shoulder girdle, close fitting to the upper back to keep the load bearing close to their core.

As passioned practitioners of Good Posture, we feel it is so important to address this with their developing bodies.

🎥 If in doubt about how they should fit, do book a free Video Session via our online booking system, and we can help you get it right 👍

⭐️Do you get pain and headaches at the top of the neck? And wonder why you get eye pain too?Did you know we are really good at resolving these?

The obliquus capitis inferior muscle has the highest density of muscle spindles in the body, making it function more like a sensory organ. It plays a key role in coordinating head rotation with both eye movement and the inner ear.

🙌 We get excellent results with a combination of manipulation, specific stretches and acupuncture. The improvement in neck rotation in just one treatment can be quite extraordinary!
