A landmark study from Karolinska Institutet has confirmed that adults continue to generate new neurons in the hippocampus, the brain’s memory and learning hub. Remarkably, neurogenesis was observed across a wide age range, even in individuals up to 78 years old. This discovery challenges long-held beliefs that brain cell growth ceases in adulthood and instead highlights the brain’s lifelong plasticity. The finding has profound implications for developing treatments for memory decline, mood disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s. By proving that the brain can renew itself, researchers have unlocked new hope for therapies that could enhance cognition and resilience at any age.

Most people don’t realize your jaw and pelvis are linked. Not just through posture or movement habits, but through your developmental blueprint.

Around day 15 of embryonic development, two critical areas begin to form: the oropharyngeal membrane, which becomes the mouth, and the cloacal membrane, which becomes the openings of the digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.

The spine grows between them establishing a physical and neurological connection that lasts your entire life.
This connection continues through fascia and the central nervous system. The dural tube, which surrounds and protects the spinal cord, creates a continuous communication pathway from your jaw down to your sacrum.

When there’s tension or misalignment in the jaw whether from clenching, TMJ dysfunction, or altered bite it changes head posture. Your body compensates to keep balance, often by tilting the pelvis or shifting your weight.

Over time, these small changes can show up as chronic hip pain, pelvic instability, or forward head posture.
There’s also a functional link: the jaw and pelvic floor are both involved in how your body stabilizes the spine. They’re part of your core system.

If your jaw is clenched, chances are your pelvic floor is either overactive or not firing properly. This affects posture, breath control, and how your nervous system regulates tension.

Posture isn’t just a matter of standing tall. It’s a full-body coordination between systems that started forming before you were even born.

My Story

I became interested in body work therapies following a fall from a horse in 2004. I trained as a Practitioner of Ortho-Bionomy because I was impressed by its gentle, non-intrusive and effective ability to relieve pain.

Ortho-Bionomy is a comprehensive bodywork that includes craniosacral and visceral therapy positional release and postural re-education. It provides relief from acute and chronic pain, increases ease of movement, encourages faster healing from injury and assists the body in recovery from trauma.

Over the years I have continued my professional development by attending advanced training courses. Most recently I have begun training in neural manipulation through the Barral Institute, this has deepened my practice and I have found it to be deeply rewarding and effective.

My clients come to see me for a variety of reasons: for help with injuries (both acute and chronic); migraines; concussion; whiplash; neck and shoulder tension; acute and chronic pain; reducing mental, emotional and physical stress; to improve range of motion, flexibility and posture. This list provides a snapshot of the problems that are helped in a session.
