LIFT LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. Because it does. 💥

If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or heading into midlife, heavy strength training is not optional — it’s foundational for longevity, vitality, and injury prevention.

Here’s why I tell my patients (especially women!): pick up the heavy weights.

🔑 6 reasons strength training is essential through midlife:
1. Prevents muscle loss (sarcopenia starts in our 30s)
2. Builds bone density & fights osteoporosis
3. Boosts metabolism & insulin sensitivity
4. Protects joints & reduces injury risk
5. Supports mood & brain health
6. Regulates hormones for energy, sleep & libido

Every rep you do is a message to your future body: “I’ve got your back.”

🧠💪 As an osteopath obsessed with movement & strength, I can’t stress this enough — strength is medicine.

📍If you’re unsure how to start, or want to lift pain-free and with confidence, I’d love to help.

“You look happier…”

YES, I AM! 🤩

But none of it just “happened,” because ENERGY FLOWS WHERE FOCUS GOES 🌊

I’ve made some very conscious decisions this year to focus on myself, and this in turn has made me a much happier, healthier and more energetic version of myself.

This also means you get a much happier, healthier and more energetic osteopath. Kind of a win-win, if you ask me! 😉

A very wise woman told me earlier this year that I’m in a shedding season right now and I can whole-heartedly feel that ❤️

Because as the famous quote goes, “Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”

So yes, I AM happier 🤩 Thanks for noticing ❤️

(BTW, I love this current instagram trend 🥰)

🤚🏼 CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME 🤚🏼

This is a condition that affects the wrist and hand. The Median Nerve is compressed underneath the flexor retinaculum in the wrist and results in pain and numbness in the hand and fingers, which are usually worse in the morning.

Even though the nerve is compressed at the wrist, it can also be compressed in the neck, shoulder, arm, elbow or forearm. Nerve pain usually results from multiple compression sites along the course of the nerve.

Surgical intervention for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is quite common where they cut that flexor retinaculum to relieve the pressure on the nerve. However, there can be varying levels of success for patients post-operatively, especially if that nerve is being compressed elsewhere in the arm.

If you are suffering with the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, please try a course of manual therapy before going down the surgical route, as many of your symptoms can be relieved with treatment like osteopathy 🙏🏼

Back flared up (again)? 😩
 Panicking and lying still might feel right — but it often makes things worse.
 In the first 48 hours, your back needs:
 ✨ Gentle movement (not total rest) 🧊 Short bursts of ice 🌬️ Calm breath work to downshift your nervous system 🪑 Smart spine positioning to ease pressure

I’ve bundled it all into a simple, no-fluff cheat sheet I give my patients.

NERVE DAMAGE

What are the symptoms?

💥Shooting Pain
💥Deep, aching pain down arm or leg
💥Pins and Needles
💥Numbness
💥Loss of sensation
💥Weakness

Nerves can get ‘pinched’ for a number of reasons, including tight muscles, trauma, bulging discs, during pregnancy and uterine fibroids.

When a nerve gets compressed, the blood supply gets compromised, resulting in something called ‘neuropraxia.’ This is the mildest form of nerve damage and is completely reversible. If the nerve compression is left for any length of time, then the damage can progress and lead to more muscle weakness and continued lack of sensation.

Moral of the story is this: if you’re experiencing any symptoms of nerve pain/damage, get it checked out by a professional (like an osteopath 😉) to treat the problem before it progresses to something worse 👌🏼
