Better Bodies OSTEO

05/05/2026

1st Feb → 1st May (3 months).

Same body… just trained differently.

No extreme diets (like previously, which I couldn’t maintain).
No random workouts.
Just consistent, structured training built around what my body actually needed.

The biggest shift?
Training around niggles instead of pushing through them.

Focusing on:
• Compound lifts
• Quality movement
• Recovery when needed

That’s what allowed me to stay consistent — and consistency is what drives results.

Big shoutout to for the programming. Everything was tailored to my schedule, my limitations, and what I needed to keep progressing without setbacks.

That’s the difference between guessing… and following a plan that’s built for you.

You don’t need more exercises.
You need the right plan.

Your head isn’t meant to live down here. 📱👇

Every time you look down at your phone, you’re pulling your head forward — and your upper traps have to work overtime to hold it there.

Over time?
They get fatigued, tight, and sore… and your posture slowly drifts forward.

This is tech neck — and it’s one of the biggest causes of neck tension I see every day.

The good news?
You can start reversing it with simple, targeted movement.

If you want a step-by-step plan to fix your posture and set up your body properly for work, check out my Improving Posture & Ergonomics online course (link in bio).

Your neck will thank you for it 😉

Looking down all day? 📱💻
Neck pain usually shows up in the back… but the real issue often starts in the front.

Your platysma and deeper layers like Sibson’s fascia shorten and tighten from constant flexion (tech neck), pulling your head forward and overloading the back of your neck.

This quick 1-min release targets the anterior fascia first — because if you don’t free up the front, the back won’t fully relax.

Next step: we’ll layer in the sides and back.

Do it daily if you’re on your phone or computer a lot.

Most people aren’t “injured”… they’re just stuck in these 3 patterns 👇

Upper Cross. Lower Cross. Tech Neck.

If you sit a lot, train hard, or live on your phone — your body is adapting whether you realise it or not. The good news? You can reverse it.

Ever wondered WHY poor posture happens? 🤔

It’s not just about sitting — it’s about how your body adapts over time.

In this video, I explain upper cross syndrome and why certain muscles become tight while others switch off… leading to that rounded shoulder, forward head position.

Once you understand the why, fixing it becomes much easier. 💡

Desk workers, try this quick posture and shoulder mobility test.

Lie on a foam roller and let your arms drop back.
If your hands don’t reach the floor, tight chest or lat muscles may be pulling your shoulders forward from too much sitting.

Try loosening those muscles, then test again.

Did yours improve?

Shoulder pain isn’t always a shoulder problem.

When your upper back rounds forward, the shoulder joint has to work harder to stabilise and lift.

Over time, that increased load can lead to irritation, tightness and pain.

Most people stretch or strengthen the shoulder.

Few address the position that’s driving the strain.

Fix the posture → reduce the load.

This is especially important in workplace lifting and repetitive tasks.

Back at work now after a beautiful break up around Mathesons Bay, Goats Island, Tawharanui and Matakana with the family 🌊🌿

From snorkelling 🤿 🏊 walking 🚶, reptile park🦎, reading 📖 and just relaxing doing nothing, I’m feeling refreshed, grounded… and very grateful. The quick reel shows a few snippets 🎥

If the holidays have left you with a few aches, stiff spots, or something that just doesn’t feel quite right, I’m back in clinic and ready to help. Bookings are open online — your body will thank you.

Otherwise, hope you’re well and have a great year ahead in 2026!
