23.01.2022 Headaches are very common, with around 15 per cent of Australians taking pain-relieving medication for headache at any given time...Osteopathy can help with your headache

23.01.2022 Continuing on our line of hot summer weather and Sydney beach swimming.... this is Warriewood Beach on the northern beaches. So gorgeous! It's set to be 34 degC tomorrow, so what beach are you going to?? Why not show us - take a snap with your phone tomorrow and share it with us on this thread. Happy weekend everyone!

21.01.2022 Happy Diwali! One of our patients told us that today is the beautiful Hindu festival of lights celebrated in (the Indian) autumn every year. Apparantly the Sydney Opera House was lit up on Tuesday this week in celebration, and we're burning a candle in the clinic to acknowledge the festival. What a nice time to light a candle and take a moment to reflect and celebrate :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali

21.01.2022 Take a break from the desk, get outside and enjoy this beautiful day! even a 10 minute walk on your lunch break will be beneficial for your body http://www.smh.com.au//step-away-from-your-seat-swap-two-m

21.01.2022 A skeleton playing sport?? We came across this fabulous motion animation of a skeleton. This gives a much better insight into skeletal movement than the standard limp skeleton on a hanger. Can you tell which two sports the skeleton is playing? Post your answers here! http://youtu.be/ks-c1ATcmFc

21.01.2022 Nick has just returned to Sydney from his recent adventures and shares a picture from downtown Seville...

18.01.2022 FOAM ROLL If you're not foam rolling, we recommend that you get started! Great for pain and posture, foam rolling inhibits overactive muscles to relieve pain and tension, stimulates blood flow for recovery, improves flexibility and increases parasympathetic control through muscle relaxation.... Tips for foam rolling: -Roll slow -Start with a light, sustained pressure is enough, to begin with. Gradually work towards increasing the pressure over time. -Spend more time at the muscle attachments (closer to the joints) rather than the muscle belly. This is where the inhibitory receptors live, they relax and lengthen the muscle when stimulated.

17.01.2022 So whilst this article concludes there is more evidence linking obesity with spine issues, it's worthwhile reflecting on how our habits (i.e hunched over texting on our mobiles all day!) are influencing our posture and therefore our health. http://www.theatlantic.com//death-by-texting-spine/383132/

15.01.2022 We see a number of 'Wild Women on Top' in here at the clinic as they keep themselves in balance. They are behind the Sydney Coastrek, a 55km team trek event along the coast line in March. Registrations are now open for this event... so if you are looking for a motivator to get yourself in shape and have fun while you're at it, this could be it!

14.01.2022 Sometimes it is the little things that make a day special. Like when 3 gorgeous girls who are colouring with pencils and paper while their Mum is having a treatment, give their coloured gifts to you with thankyou notes when they leave. :) Smile.

13.01.2022 Summer is heating up and at Balanced Life we are excited that this means ocean swimming in Sydney's beautiful northern beaches!! Apart from the fact that this just makes us feel happy, the salt water can help increase your immune system function, improve circulation, and hydrate your skin. We'd love you to share which beach you have been visiting recently!

13.01.2022 This is where you can get hold of some of these delicious handmade delights...

13.01.2022 Happy Easter Everyone Keep moving your body

12.01.2022 We just posted last month's newsletter article up on our blog. It's about avoiding and/or coping with pain for office workers. Next time we'll extend our focus to those in more physical professions. We hope you find this helpful! http://balancedlifeosteopathy.com.au//ways-to-cope-with-p/

12.01.2022 Exercise Sessions incorporate exercise, stretching and movement prescribed specifically for the individual patients condition. A vital part of the treatment is advice on modification of specific daily activities and the use of external supports for improved posture and pain relief. Looking forward to seeing you in the clinic soon,... Nick http://balancedlifeosteopathy.com.au//how-you-can-benefit/

11.01.2022 Spring is definitely upon us, we hope you were able to get out and enjoy some sunshine today!

10.01.2022 We are back into work for the new year after some time out over the holiday season. Here are a couple of snapshots from Nick's trip along the Great Ocean Rd in Victoria - the apostles and London bridge.

09.01.2022 At the clinic we have been sharing our collective knowledge on 'beating the lurgy' this winter. Emily shared this magic concoction called "kick-a-germ" tea which works wonders when you're feeling under the weather. Try it and let us know what you think!

08.01.2022 Train your kids early.

07.01.2022 Sitting at your desk reading this right now? try some of these exercises! :) http://time.com/4019563/exercise-work-desk/

07.01.2022 Is all this rain in Sydney getting to you? Sometimes all it takes is some perspective to find balance in your life again. This gorgeous 4 minute short film reminds us of this.... enjoy! http://www.thisblewmymind.com/this-grandma-went-running-i/

04.01.2022 Happy Christmas and New Year folks! Here's is a pic from our BLO Christmas celebration in Manly...and yes there may have been a few sneaky cocktails :)

04.01.2022 We had a visit today from Faye of "Faye's Delights". Look what she brought us! Raw salted caramel slice and Pecan and maple shortbread... yum!!!

03.01.2022 At Balanced Life, your health & safety is our priority. As you know, we've shut the doors for a few weeks until we are confident that we can operate the clinic safely. For those who are in need of advice on posture, exercises, stretches and self- treatment instruction, we would like to offer telehealth consultation.... Nick could assess, diagnose, educate and assist you with self-treatment instruction. If you are interested in booking a telehealth consultation, you can now book online on our website: https://balanced.cliniko.com/bookings#service Thank you for your support over the years. Stay safe everyone and look out after each other. We look forward to having you back to the clinic in the near future. The Balanced Life Team

03.01.2022 WORKERS URGED TO STAND UP FOR THEIR HEALTH During Octobers National Safe Work Month, Osteopathy Australia highlights the importance of incorporating simple movements into our working day to prevent pain and injury. Physical activity is the key to a healthy and enjoyable life, yet one in two Australian workers spend 55 per cent of the day seated and on average 22 hours behind a desk each week. Prolonged sitting and a lack of physical activity takes an immense toll on our bodi...es and are associated with a wide range of health problems, including premature degeneration of spinal discs, inflammation of joints, connective tissues and nerves. Painful back and neck problems are also likely results of continually sitting with a poor posture or awkward sitting postures, which if left unresolved, can become chronic conditions. See more

02.01.2022 What does your sciatica feel like? I wonder if the pain is similar for all of us or really different.

01.01.2022 To all our patients, we are pleased to announce we will reopen the clinic on Monday the 27th of April. Appointments will fill up quickly as we will only allow 12 to 14 patients per day As we used to, we will make sure to keep a clean space and increase the frequency of disinfection.... You can now book online with Nick on our website https://balanced.cliniko.com/bookings#service We look forward to seeing you all soon. The Balanced Life Team
