Roseanne Shaw Osteopath

I have been practicing as a Registered Osteopath for 30+ years. Based in Whangārei, Northland.

ACC Registered to provide treatment for clients who have had an accident at work/home, without needing to see a doctor or other health professional first.

𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗡𝗲𝗰𝗸" 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! 🌀🌀 Migraines, dizziness, or the lingering "fog" of a concussion - these symptoms are incredibly frustrating and can make daily life feel like an uphill battle.

While they feel very different, these issues often share a common physical root: tension and restriction in the upper neck and the delicate membranes of the skull.

As an Osteopath, I use gentle Cranial Osteopathy and structural techniques to help:

🌀 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗿𝘀: By releasing the "lock" in the upper cervical spine and jaw, we can reduce the nerve irritation that often triggers a migraine.
🌀 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆: We work to "unwind" the physical strain from a head impact, helping to ease light sensitivity, brain fog, and that heavy-headed feeling.
🌀 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗼 & 𝗗𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: By restoring correct alignment in the neck, we help the balance sensors in your body send clearer signals to your brain.

If your symptoms started after an accident (such as a fall, a sports collision, or whiplash), ACC can help cover your treatment costs.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 "𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿"? 🧘‍♀️
When we are stressed, our breathing often shifts into the upper chest, using the muscles in our neck and shoulders.

𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼:
❌ Constant neck and shoulder tension.
❌ Tension headaches.
❌ A feeling of "not being able to take a full breath."

𝗢𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲. By releasing the physical restrictions in your ribcage and upper spine, we help your body shift back into calm, diaphragmatic breathing.

Let’s help you breathe a little easier. Book a consultation to see how a mechanical "tune-up" can support your respiratory health.

For my senior patients, a simple trip or a strain while lifting can lead to long-term stiffness if not addressed. The good news is that Roseanne Shaw Osteopathy is an ACC-registered provider.

𝗡𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱: You can come straight to me.
𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗱: I’ll take care of the claim forms during your appointment.
𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲: ACC helps cover the cost of your treatment, making it easier to get the care you need to stay independent and mobile.

Don't let a fall or a strain slow you down. Let’s work together to get you moving comfortably again.

❤️🌹 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆! ❤️🌹 Today is all about the heart, every part of you deserves a little extra love.

Whether it’s a lingering ache or just the stress of a busy week, remember that listening to your body is the ultimate form of self-care. Show your spine, joints, and muscles some appreciation today - maybe with a gentle stretch, a long walk, or just a moment of deep breathing.

𝗔 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻’𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲!
Constantly adapting through different seasons of life. But from the desk to the delivery room, and eventually through menopause, these changes can sometimes leave you feeling "out of sync."

Osteopathy isn't just about back pain; it's a holistic way to support your body through:

𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵: Easing pelvic tension and improving circulation to help with painful periods.
𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 & 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹: Helping your pelvis and spine adapt to a growing bump, and supporting recovery after birth.
𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Addressing joint stiffness and headaches as hormonal levels shift.
𝗣𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵: Working gently with the core and diaphragm to support better internal function.

You don’t have to "just live with" discomfort. Whether you are navigating a specific milestone or just want to feel more connected to your body, I’m here to help you move with ease.

Osteopathy is a fantastic tool for the over-65s to help manage pain and improve physical function.

Stiffness in the morning or aching after a short walk shouldn’t be things you just "put up with." From easing arthritic pain to helping with circulation and breathing, a tailored osteopathic treatment plan can make a world of difference in your daily routine.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲! 👶✨
During birth, a baby’s body - especially the head and neck - is subjected to enormous pressure.

While babies are incredibly resilient, this can sometimes leave them with lingering "birth strains" or areas of tension.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱:
Difficulty latching or a preference for feeding on one side.
Colic, reflux, or excessive wind due to tension around the diaphragm.
Unsettled sleep and general fussiness.
Head shape preferences (always turning their head one way).

Cranial Osteopathy is a safe, exceptionally gentle way to help your newborn "unwind." Using a touch so light it’s often barely felt, I work to release those tiny restrictions, helping your baby feel more comfortable and settled in their own body.
