That outer hip pain might not be arthritis — it could be irritated glute muscles.

I often see people with tight or overloaded glute tendons — the muscles on the side of your hip that help stabilise you when you walk.

When they become irritated, they can cause pain on the outside of the hip…
especially when lying on that side, walking uphill, or getting out of the car.

Long hours sitting, uneven hips, or always crossing the same leg can aggravate them.
It often shows up as night pain — that deep ache that makes it hard to find a comfortable position.

Have you noticed your hip hurting more when you lie on it, even though scans show “nothing serious”?

That stiff, painful shoulder might not just be “getting older” — it could be a frozen shoulder developing.

Frozen shoulder happens when the capsule around your shoulder joint becomes irritated and tight. Over time, it thickens and restricts movement, making simple things like putting on a bra or reaching into the back seat surprisingly painful.

It often starts gradually — especially after injury, surgery, or long periods of not using the arm.

Have you noticed your shoulder getting harder to move, even though you can’t remember injuring it?

That lower back ache might not actually be your spine — it could be tight muscles around your pelvis.

I often see people with tight hips and glutes — those muscles in your buttocks and hips pulling on your pelvis, which ends up straining the lower back.

Sitting for long hours can make those muscles stay tight — and your back ends up doing extra work.

The result? That dull ache at the end of the day.
That stiffness when you stand up.
That feeling like your back is “just tired” all the time.

Have you noticed your lower back aching more after sitting, driving, or long days at work?

From time to time, a little change is needed — and I’m excited to share that I’ve moved into a new treatment room at Balance in Buxton Square, right in the heart of Nelson city centre (next to and above Mister Minit).

It’s a calm, welcoming space and allows me to offer more flexibility too. I’m now open
🕖 7 days a week | 7:00am – 5:30pm

Whether you’re coming in for pain relief, neck & shoulder tension, or lower back pain, I’m here to help you feel better and move with more ease.

I’m really looking forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces into the new room. See you soon 🤍

📱 Tech Neck Is Real — and Your Phone Might Be the Reason

Lately I’ve seen more clients coming in with tech-neck symptoms… and I’ve felt it myself. A bit too much screen time and suddenly: stiff neck, tight shoulders, and that annoying ache that just won’t quit.

🌟 What Exactly Is Tech Neck?
It’s the modern version of posture strain caused by:
• long hours looking down at devices
• poor desk or couch setups
• not taking movement breaks
• weak upper-back and neck-stabilising muscles

What helps?
✨ Holding the phone higher
✨ Strengthening deep neck + upper-back muscles
✨ Regular movement breaks

But even a short scroll with my head down can bring the symptoms right back.
• neck stiffness
• shoulder tension
• headaches
• tingling in the arms…

If this sounds familiar, your body is sending you a gentle warning.

Have you noticed any of these symptoms creeping in lately? 📱💭

That dull headache might not be from dehydration or screen time—it could be coming from the muscles at the base of your skull.

I often see people with tight suboccipitals—those tiny muscles right where your skull meets your neck. They can cause head pressure, eye strain, or that “band around the head” feeling.

Long hours of stress, driving, or looking down at phones can aggravate them.

Have you noticed how your neck feels during your worst headaches?

Sciatica isn’t always coming from the spine. Sometimes, it starts in the glutes.

The piriformis muscle sits deep in the buttock, right near the sciatic nerve. When it tightens or becomes inflamed, it can compress the nerve and send pain down the leg.

This is more common than people think—especially in those who sit a lot or have uneven hips.

Have you ever felt that deep ache in your hip that travels down your thigh?
