Did you know that your Osteopath can assess muscle strain and tension around your eyes 👀 ?

This can be linked in with issues such as headache or migraine, eye fatigue or even neck or jaw tension, vertigo or other balance or visual issues.

It can feel a little unusual having your practitioner place their fingers gently around your eyes socket or even the globe of the eye (with your eyes closed).

But usually my patients tell me they find it quite comfortable and many say it’s quite relaxing 😎

Sometimes I give people home based exercises specifically for their eyes, including eye tracking, stretching or exercises that influence body positioning and reflexes that involve the eyes.

Eye and neck tension often go together, so if this sounds like something you experience or can’t get on top of your neck tension, it may be worth someone assessing your eye muscle tension in conjunction with your neck position, posture and muscle tightness.

As someone who experiences migraines, I understand the challenge of untangling the mystery of migraine triggers.

They often occur concurrently, rather than one at a time, which is why it can be tricky to figure out.

Essentially migraines are often the result of multiple small triggers stacking together until the brain tips into attack mode.

I find many patients put it down to food triggers such as cheese, chocolate or msg, but the reality is there’s much more happening underneath.

Some of the most misunderstood are:

Gut health & microbiome changes: 🥦
• Eye strain & vision problems 👀
• Too much or irregular sleep 💤
• Breathing mechanics & stress breathing 🌬
• Subtle dietary factors (timing, hydration, additives) 🥤
• Hormonal fluctuations (beyond just menstrual) 🔁
• Neck & jaw tension 💆‍♀️
• Sensory overload (light, sound, smell, weather) ⛈

Last week felt a little more challenging than most, as I was working while having a migraine from Tuesday until Friday.

Thankfully they don’t happen often and a lot of the time I experience migraines without a headache.

Yes you read that right!

Migraines are not just a bad headache, they’re a complex neurological complaint and may occur with or without pain.

People can get all kinds of symptoms such as:

😇Flashing lights in the eyes, or seeing halos
😳 Numbness or tingling in face, arms or elsewhere
😴 Feel extra sleepy
🤢 Nausea or vomiting
🥱 Use incorrect words or can’t think of the word you want
😢More emotional than usual
🕷Feel like you have creepy crawlies on you
🍄 Foods taste funny, for me everything tends to smell and taste like mushrooms!
💥 Noise and light sensitivity

Now if you haven’t been diagnosed with a migraine previously, or if you have and these are not your usual symptoms, you do need to be seen by a health professional asap.

You may have recognised that lots of these symptoms can also occur with a stroke and yes this needs to be checked out fast.

In my case, I’ve previously seen a Neurologist and had brain scans to rule out the nasty things and these symptoms are within my normal range so I didn’t need to go and do it again.

Thankfully, I have osteo colleagues who helped look after me and gave me a treatment. I do find that when I’m taking good care of myself and with support it’s very rare that I need to take time out or get stuck in bed with a migraine.

Did you know kids can get tension headaches?

They’re common and can be under recognised.

Just like in adults, they can be related to or triggered by…

1. Stress and anxiety
2. Muscle tension
3. Dehydration
4. Lack of sleep
5. Eye strain
6. Teeth grinding
7. Dietary factors, such as consuming caffeine

Even though headaches are common, doesn’t mean it’s normal.

It’s time to seek assistance from a health professional if….

🤨 Headaches are severe, frequent or persistent
😴 Headaches are interfering with sleep, school or other daily activities
😢 There’s a family history of headaches or other neurological problems
🥵 Headaches are accompanied by fever, vomiting, vision changes or seizure (see your doctor asap)

Our Osteopaths are experienced in treating kids and teens with headaches and related concerns.

If you need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch

Dear microplastics… it’s not me, it’s you. 💔
I’ve decided we need some distance—like, a lot of distance.

So far I’ve:
🌱 Ditched cling wrap for plant-based wrap
🍵 Swapped tea bags for loose leaves in a cute metal strainer
🔥 Said goodbye to reheating in plastic containers

Next on my hit list:
🍳 Retiring my dodgy old non-stick pans for trusty cast iron
👕 Wearing more natural fibres
📦 Only buying products with packaging that actually disappears

It’s not perfect, but it’s progress. 💪✨

🍼 Microplastics in babies?

They’ve been found in newborns’ first poo, in human blood, lungs, and even the placenta.

We still don’t fully know the health risks—but early research suggests babies and kids could be more vulnerable than adults.

Our new blog explains:

✨ What microplastics are
✨ Where they’re hiding in your daily life
✨Easy ways to cut down exposure

Prue would like to say hello to everyone from Krakow in Poland.

She is here teaching on 2 Osteopathy courses, with an emphasis on working with blood, lymphatic and metabolic movements within the body to support tissue healing, regeneration and health .

It's a very beautiful and friendly city and thankfully the weather has so far been warmer than the last few days in Melbourne.

We will keep you posted on what she is up to in the next few weeks!

Prue's first day back at Koru at this stage will be June 24th 💆.

There is a saying in Osteopathy that it’s passed hand to hand. ❤️

Prue spent 3 days in Canberra mentoring osteopathic students and new graduates with a number of old friends and colleagues passing on knowledge and experience to the next generation of Osteopaths.
