Traditional Child Massage — Gentle Touch for Growing Kids

For generations, Chinese families have trusted Traditional Paediatric Massage to nurture children's health and wellbeing, a legacy I’m proud to offer New Zealand families today.

This 2,000-year-old gentle therapy uses rhythmic, calming techniques drawn from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support a child’s natural growth, vitality, and resilience. Similar to infant touch therapy, it strengthens the parent-child bond while uniquely focusing on a child’s changing developmental needs.

Benefits for Your Child:
• Emotional Balance & Bonding: Rhythmic motions promote security, helping children feel calm and connected
• Better Sleep: Soothing techniques ease tension, fostering deeper relaxation for better sleep patterns.
• Digestive Comfort: Gentle abdominal motion may ease common digestive discomfort.
• Natural Vitality: Rooted in TCM principles, this approach supports the body’s innate balance without medication or chemicals.

Rooted in centuries of community practice, this natural approach is now available in New Zealand, offering a chemical-free option aligned with modern parents’ values.

Each session is tailored to your child’s individual needs, blending playfulness with therapeutic purpose building the foundation for lifelong health in a natural, gentle way.

Traditional Child Massage is offered at Stillpoint Osteopaths by experienced TCM practitioner Renjie (Jay) Xi. Jay is available on Mon/Tue/Thu.

Respect

Last week, a patient described their experience with another health professional in just a few words:
“I felt like I was on a conveyor belt.”

Those words stayed with me.
Because behind them is a feeling we’ve all had at some point of not being seen, of not being heard. Of our story not fitting into a readymade box and so being overlooked.

This isn’t unique to one profession; it can happen anywhere in healthcare. When it does, people are left carrying not only their symptoms, but also the weight of dismissal.

At Stillpoint Osteopaths, we hold to one of our most important values: respect.
Respect means honouring your experience of your body.
Respect means listening with curiosity, not assumptions.
Respect means working with your body through gentle, skilled palpation to understand why it is expressing itself in this way.

For us, there is no conveyor belt.

Post-Viral Symptoms getting you down?

Over the last 8 weeks, many of our patients have been recovering from Influenza B and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), often left with chest tightness, post-nasal drip, lingering cough, and post-viral fatigue.

If this sounds familiar, osteopathic care may help. By gently working with your upper back, chest, and neck, we can help restore mobility and reduce tension in areas that may be holding you back from feeling fully energized.

Early research is encouraging too: a recent study on osteopathic treatment for Long COVID-19 patients with post-viral fatigue showed promising results in helping patient with their fatigue. While more research is needed, these findings are exciting.

Reference: “Acute Effects of Osteopathic Treatment in Long COVID-19 Patients with Fatigue Symptoms: A Randomized, Controlled Trial,” J Clin Med. 2025 Aug 27;14(17):6066.

If you’re struggling with lingering symptoms after a viral infection, reach out today to support your recovery and reclaim your energy.

Are Period Pains affecting your quality of life?

Do you or your daughter often find yourselves reaching for ibuprofen just to get through the day during menstruation? You’re not alone. Research shows that manual therapies such as osteopathy can bring clinically significant relief from menstrual pain, while also improving overall quality of life.

In fact, studies comparing manual therapies with ibuprofen show similar pain relief but with the added benefit of addressing the underlying pelvic and joint dysfunction often linked to period pain. (1)

Olivia completed her master’s research investigating the self-management strategies for endometriosis related pain. She has a strong focus on current research and women’s health care. She’s dedicated to helping women find safer, long-term solutions for their pelvic health.

If period pain is impacting you or your daughter, don’t just manage it, explore a treatment that supports your whole body.

Book an appointment with Olivia or one of our experienced team today.

Studies have shown that Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF) has significant anti-inflammatory effects, demonstrated in both preclinical and clinical trials. This includes benefits for post-operative recovery and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis.

At Stillpoint, this therapy is offered by Olivia Wells, a skilled osteopath who has undertaken advanced training in PEMF application. Olivia brings a unique perspective by combining her osteopathic expertise with PEMF therapy. With her detailed understanding of the body’s mechanics and tissue responses, she can assess when PEMF will be most effective and integrate it seamlessly into an osteopathic treatment plan.

For some patients, Olivia may recommend a PEMF session before osteopathic treatment to help calm inflammation and improve tissue quality, making the hands-on work even more effective. This thoughtful combination allows her to tailor care in a way that supports faster recovery, reduces discomfort, and maximises therapeutic results.

PEMF therapy is non-invasive, safe, and can be an excellent adjunct if inflammation is a driving factor in your current health concerns.

Stress, anxiety and depression don’t just affect your mind, they also change how your body functions.

Research shows that osteopathic treatment may help lower cortisol (your main stress hormone) and influence brain areas that regulate emotions, like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. This helps your body find balance and calm.

With 15 years’ experience, Greg has supported people of all ages to improve nervous system function and resilience.

If you or a loved one are struggling, get in touch with Stillpoint Osteopaths today we’d love to help.

Inflammation - The Core of Your Issues?

Inflammation is at the root of many health concerns, from joint pain to chronic conditions.
At Stillpoint Osteopaths, we've seen firsthand how Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) can help—often surprising patients with its impact after just 16–60 minutes of lying on a mat!

PEMF is gaining popularity for its ability to reduce inflammation and support tissue healing by influencing pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Research suggests it could be a valuable alternative or complement to pharmaceuticals:

"Consistent outcomes in studies involving animal and human tissue have shown promise for the use of PEMF as an alternative or complementary treatment to pharmaceutical therapies. Thus, PEMF treatment could provide a novel nonpharmaceutical means of modulating inflammation in injured tissues, resulting in enhanced functional recovery." (1)

If you're curious to try PEMF, Olivia Wells is available Wednesday afternoon/evening and Saturdays. Olivia is also available on Thursday morning and Friday for osteopathy sessions.

Book your session and experience the benefits firsthand!

One patient recently shared:

“I have had three treatment sessions with Greg. He readily understood my concerns and I was very satisfied with the treatment, particularly the third session. Not only was it remedial but also VERY deep and relaxing. Thank you, Greg!” - D.Barlow

As the practice owner, I’m grateful to have Greg on our team, his dedication to patient care is exceptional. It’s wonderful to see the positive difference he makes in people’s lives every day.

Children's Emotional Health

At Stillpoint we feel privileged to be entrusted with the health care of your children. Osteopathy helps correct their body mechanics to allow them to grow with less stresses and strains. Can osteopathy also help their developing emotional wellbeing?

Children can experience stressful situations, changing schools, being bullied, being dropped by a significant friend, parent separations, struggling to achieve grades just to name a few. How do we develop their confidence to ride these changes like a wave rather than being dumped when things occur? How do we nurture resilience and adaptability in children?

Feelings of not being good enough may creep in, being isolated can be detrimental to their developing sense of self, confidence and their resilience. They don’t say I am stressed. They wet the bed, grind their teeth, struggle to sleep and to eat, develop behavioural issues, have nightmares lots of signs that are hard to ignore.

It is common for parents to share their concerns with us and we often enter a journey with the family. When we treat, osteopaths are aware of the family unit, we are not treating the child in isolation they are connected mind, body and spirit with their family and so when starting the process of working with children we must balance that delicate dynamic with great care.

Osteopathy has the added benefit of balancing your child’s body in a relaxed and gentle manner. Correcting their body mechanics helps then to feel grounded in themselves and more centred. When they are in this state, anxiety starts to reduce, they talk more, and behaviour may start to have a platform to shift.
