SoreBods Osteopaths

Some of our team and I have just returned from Bali, volunteering with Hands With Heart Foundation.

There’s something special about using the same skills we rely on every day in clinic to make a real difference for children and families who need it most.

Is Your Neck Paying the Price for Screen Time?

At the recent Birkenhead Health Expo, I gave a talk on what's quietly becoming one of the more common issues we see in clinic — tech neck.

It was a great opportunity to shed light on how prolonged screen use is affecting not just adults, but kids and teens too — often without anyone realising it. This creeping postural strain is becoming a silent epidemic, but the good news is: it’s treatable, and even better, preventable.

If you or your kids are spending hours a day on phones, tablets or laptops (let’s be honest, who isn’t?), come have a chat. A bit of awareness and some targeted treatment can go a long way.

👋 Meet Helen – our newest osteopath at Sorebods!

Helen brings a warm, compassionate approach to care, with a special knack for helping people move better and feel stronger. Inspired by her own family’s experience with osteopathy, she’s all about personalised treatment plans, holistic care, and empowering her patients to take charge of their recovery.

She's already making a great impression – and yes, she's the kind of person who'll fix your back and then chat fantasy books and Netflix recommendations after. 📚📺

Book in with Helen now – your sore bod will thank you!

Headaches can be more than just annoying – they can affect your concentration, sleep, and even your mood. Tension, stress, poor posture, and neck strain are all common triggers, often leading to throbbing or tension-like pain that can disrupt your entire day.

At Sorebods Osteopathy, we understand how these factors contribute to headaches and use targeted techniques to ease muscle tension, improve alignment, and reduce the strain that builds up over time. Our aim is to relieve those aches and help prevent them from recurring, so you can get back to feeling your best.

A long overdue new paint job for the exterior of the clinic! It certainly brings it back to life, and less "abandoned building" chic 😀

We often get asked if a person should do some walking to help with recovery when they've hurt they're back. The quick answer to that is "Yes"; for a bit more detail read on..
Static positions like sitting or standing for a long time can aggravate low backs and lead to increasing pain. A 2019 study showed that taking short, 5-minute walking breaks every 25 minutes decreased the percentage of people who developed low back pain. Basically, our bodies like to move, and if you don’t do it, it’s your lower back that starts complaining first.
In another study, researchers compared the effectiveness of walking with other forms of physical exercise. They found that low back pain, disability, and quality of life improved the same amount whether someone was walking or performing other forms of exercise. So, while you can certainly workout at the gym, you can just as easily get some walking in for that lower back and overall quality of life. Give your back a breather and spend some time walking around the office today 🙂

We hope everyone is now recovering from the mad run of weather New Zealand has come through in recent weeks. Our clinic came through with surprisingly little damage so we're here to help. Its important to remember that periods of great stress can express themselves as pain in the body. Our mind and body dont work in seperate buildings; what affects one, effects the other. With the stress of the last few weeks, have a think about coming into to see us and stay on top of your health.
