25.01.2022 Thanks for all the recent support and love regarding the aus mumpreneur awards. Walked away with a third and pretty chuffed! I could not have done it without th...e ongoing support of our Pilbara and Perth patients, my number one fan Adam who gives me so much support, encouragement and love. This award is also for my gorgeous staff, past and present. Without you Country Chiropractic would not be possible, so thank you. Xxx See more

25.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day to all the Mums

24.01.2022 We Witch you a Happy Halloween! We love an excuse to dress up and party, and with this holiday we are also happy that even though you will be consuming lots of lollies, it’s also likely that you will be walking. Get those steps up, keep moving, and enjoy EVERY second! Happy Halloween from the Country Chiro team.

21.01.2022 Like in every industry, we’re continually learning and improving each day. It’s no different in the chiropractic world, where we take it very, very seriously. We are constantly upskilling, reading, and adjusting (pardon the pun) how we work with you.... This requires travel, study, courses and it is worth every second and dollar spent. Your health is our priority and we will keep learning to provide you with our best service. @locketcreations

20.01.2022 Bugs, lots and lots of bugs Vitamin C could help with your immune system and therefore colds. This powder is great, you dont have to convince the kids to take a pill (its a powder), it tastes delicious and obviously like oranges. Add it to smoothies or just have it with ice and water, its actually really tasty.... We stock Meta Zinc with Vitamin C, have a chat to one of our practitioners to see if its right or you. @Locket_photography

19.01.2022 Our weather is warm (but not as warm as our other clinics are experiencing!). It can make you crave salads and healthy food, no food at all, or it can make you crave ice cream, icy polls, basically the foods that the cookie monster would in his very PC way would suggest are "sometimes foods". A way to get around this "sometimes foods" situation is to play the whole foods/health foods game.... Fruit is sometimes known as natures candy and it really is. If you love ice cream try adding some frozen fruit into a blender. Frozen banana is an amazing base and then just add the flavours you love, berries, I have done one with cinnamon, raisins, cocoa nibs or chocolate chips (add these after blending) and you have a virgin rum and raison ice cream! Or.... you could just add rum..... You can get ice cream makers, or you can use a decent blender (cut the banana into smaller chunks first) and add whatever flavours you like, coconut yoghurt works well too. Basically you can play the game of getting what you want and not getting the food hangover after, but dont be fooled, healthy clean food can also be calorie dense and will fill you up faster so go easy. but its a great way to use up fruit, and can be made for everyone in the family. Comment below with your favourite combos and let us know if you try this, I can add actual recipes if you would prefer that and if you do please comment below so I know. Happy summer people @locket_photography

17.01.2022 This month we will be focusing on those families about to have babies and those with new babies. You may think we just mean pregnancy, but it truly does effect the whole family, Sleep (not always just the baby) feeding positions, sleeping positions, change in diet, daily routines for others in the family and just getting used to having someone new in the household. We want to help make this transition as easy and pain free as possible for everyone involved so you can soak up ...all the love. Please ask any questions you may have and we can put together a post with all the info, if you are wondering then the chances are someone else is wondering too. Locket Photography

17.01.2022 So pretty much everyone at some stage in their working life will be required to sit at a desk for a massive amount of time. Even if its just to put in your time sheets. We cant really avoid it, so why not learn some tricks to keep yourself as up right as possible, your neck and hips specifically need attention. So can you adjust the height of your screen? Do you need a foot stool so that your legs dont dangle (shout out to the shorties like me) take control of the th...ings you can and you will hopefully notice a difference. check your screen height adjust your chair height stop and do some stretches ask for a sit/ stand desk drink more water, so you pee more, so you walk more lol #southhedlandchiro #porthedlandchiro #chiropracticcare #countrychiro #desksetup #newmanchiro #carramarchiro See more

16.01.2022 Is anyone else feeling like 2020 has just got a bit out of hand? If you are self Isolating at home and you have a few little people running around then this time might be a bit more trying than what you expected. We wanted to help you with some easy activities that will burn some energy and keep you all busy for 20mins.... Below are a few links that should give you some ideas, let us know which ones you tried and which was your favourite Cosmic Kids yoga @https://youtu.be/0ImHIWzP49M Kids PE with Jo Wicks @https://youtu.be/3Z05939ZMbE Kids Dancing class @https://youtu.be/JWTyO8npkOQ Enjoy your temporary sanity

16.01.2022 CHRISTMAS IS COMING I know you have realised that from the Christmas music and the fact that the decorations came in at the same time as the halloween stuff did. But instead of freaking out about it let's choose to take it as a friendly reminder to get ourselves organised. Write those shopping lists, make those online orders (because 2020 freight is not the normal freight) and get those appointments in because we will be taking some time off over the break. Book online at... www.countrychiropractic.com.au Or Newman (08) 9175 2006 South Hedland (08) 9140 4090 Caramar (08) 9404 7992 @locketcreations See more

Our treatment tables do all sorts of fancy things to enhance treatments: segments elevate and lower... adjust for pregnancy convert to children’s sizes have customisable settings for different tensions on the drop pieces allow for patient and practitioner comfort Give us a like if you like our new table! @locketcreations

14.01.2022 Have you seen our posts about the products we have in the clinic? Wondered about the one in the box? (we included it in our Mothers Day gift set) Well this is it! Its called a Posture Brace and comes in a range of sizes, these are great if you sit at a desk all day, struggle to sit up strait without your shoulders rolling forward or notice a family member has no idea if or when they are doing this. ... The silicone straps go over the shoulders and have a soft foam section on the front. Speak to Cara to see if something like this would be helpful for you, then *brace for the impact* (sorry I couldnt help it) that this could have on your overall recovery or posture. @locket_photography

14.01.2022 Update, we are still open at this time as per government guidelines with confirmation from the Australian Chiropractic Association. We come under the "medical services exemption" however we have taken measures to decrease the exposure to our patients and staff. * if you feel sick or have traveled within 14 days please call to reschedule your appointment or you will be refused care. Please adhere to the government guidelines and if you are unsure please call ahead to check.... * Please pay with HICAPS GO, "tap and go" service or via direct debit only. This reduces the handling of patients cards in the clinic so we can process you faster and reduce the exposure risk to yourself and our clinical assistants. You will then be emailed an invoice where you can pop online and claim via your health insurers website or app. * Please wash your hands before and after your consultation. * I have put blocks between appointments so there should be no overlap of patients in or out of the clinic. If you would like a family consultation please contact me directly so i can book you in together. *We will updating you as any changes occur and have plans A-Z based on changing government advice. *Follow our socials for updated info and upcoming health tips and advice. If anyone has any concerns or questions you can contact Cara Clews on 0439 900 586 or [email protected]

14.01.2022 Dr Cara (Chiropractor) will be heading off to the other clinics from the 4th July for two weeks as well as operating an "On the Road" clinic along her travels . We are excited that Dr Margaret (Chiropractor) will be locuming for a few shifts during this time in the Carramar clinic. They studied together at university (many years ago) and she has worked in one of our pilbara clinics as well. We look forward to her looking after your care

12.01.2022 Your health and well-being is our concern and due the Coronavirus (COVID-19) we have made a few changes in the clinic to ensure this. *** We are open as usual, normal hours*** 1). If you are feeling unwell and are showing signs of the virus. We ask that you consider our other patients and reschedule your appointment.... 2) Please follow the government recommendations in regards to self isolation following international travel. Just give us a call if you need to reschedule your appointment. 3) We have hand sanitiser located throughout the clinic for your convenience. Patients are encouraged to use this before and after their consultation. If you feel like washing your hands, please make use of our toilet or kitchen facilities. 4) When paying for your appointment, we suggest paying by card where possible, we have pay pass facilities. By avoiding handling money, we can hopefully reduce the spread of germs. 5) We continue to practice our high hygiene standards and we have increased the frequency of disinfecting surfaces and equipment, between consults. 6) Our Kids toys will be unavailable during this time, so please bring your own toys for your child to play with. We appreciate your co-operation. Thank you.

12.01.2022 Adapting to Change? Weve got your back! Many of us are adapting to changes: DIY or home projects? Juggling additional responsibilities?... Working harder than ever before? Sometimes these lead to extra strains on our bodies: Not moving enough Sitting incorrectly? Forgetting to use the correct lifting techniques? Weve got your back! Online Bookings available: countrychiropractic.com.au

12.01.2022 Balance is a multifaceted thing, its mental balance and physical balance and if we dont have some of each it can effect us in ways we dont realise. So something that can help you with both is called a PosturePole. If you can take a few moments to yourself, lie down on it with your feet grounded, knees bent and arms out you will physically feel your body drop back into its natural and needed position as gravity does all the work. Use this to your advantage, take a mo...ment and breath into it, lie for as long as you can, maybe even pop your headphones on and listen to a meditation or music so your body is relaxed. It is also perfect for before bed when you realise your shoulders still havent dropped from all that time sitting at your desk. We stock them at the clinic so ask us about it and give it a try. @locket_photography #balance #posturepole #countrychiro #southhedlandchiro #porthedlandchiro #chiropracticcare #countrychiropractic #carramarchiro #newmanchiro See more

11.01.2022 Not all pillows are created equal. Regardless of if you sleep on your tummy, side or back your neck needs to be supported. Its how you hold your head up high and move through the day and discomfort can be really disruptive. Check with our practitioners at our clinic as to if the pillows we stock could help. They are high quality, height adjustable, and come in different foam densities. We have a childrens range too, talk to a practitioner to see if we have a pillow sui...table for your childs age and size.

11.01.2022 Ladies....... Feel like a shopping trip? How much is in your handbag? ... Is it a side satchel? Do you hang it on one shoulder? Do you have $200 worth of coins in your wallet? Things might need to change.......... This could seriously be throwing off your balance, pulling you over to the side and to be honest, just a pain in the butt/neck to lift in and out of the car. If you cant take some things out, then maybe change your strategy. You can find some pretty stylish backpacks these days (#notsponsored) and the last we heard they were still in fashion. It might also mean you dont need to take a whole bunch of bags into the supermarket as well as have your hands free for childminding or a drink. Perks wherever you look! @locket_photography

11.01.2022 Teaching your kids about health needs to span a few different areas. Growing, evolving and developing as time goes by is an ongoing thing and without being to literal about it is basically like building something out of blocks. The top of the creation can only be strong and sturdy if the foundations are strong. Selfcare/mindfullness... Professional health advice Daily habits and rituals Nutrition Fitness Stretching/mobility If you can get a good handle on these things and build these habits young your foundation is so strong and it doesnt feel so hard. If you can give your kids the importance of these things so that when adult life comes along what you can handle and what you view as important shifts. Priorities are in place and long term living a healthy and happy life seems far more achievable. Start small with a morning routine this year before school starts and being the school year calmly and as you mean to go forward. It could change so many things for you and them. @locket_photography See more

05.01.2022 Not only do we want to keep your bodies clear from pain and discomfort, we are also wanting to make sure they are clean from germs and are still making sure our rooms are fully cleaned and reset between clients. Please be patient as this has obviously added to our daily tasks and is super important. James (from the Hedland clinic) may be taking it a tad to far, but we let him go and figured it couldnt hurt ... @locket_photography

05.01.2022 What are your plans for today? Are you resting? If you are then thats great. But spare a second for the rest of the up and coming week. Take 5 minutes, sit down and have a think about what will be on your plate. Is meal planning going to make that easier? Is doing that washing now going to make Wednesday morning easier when you realise you have no clean clothes left? (Weve all been there)... With the start of the week creeping up on us very very quickly this might make the next few days a bit easier because things can get hectic quickly. Scheduling in to get books, groceries, planning school lunches and making sure any appointments are booked in will be very helpful. @locket_photography

05.01.2022 Running a small business is a labour of love, and we are so pleased to be finalists in this year's 2020 Business of the Year Awards!

05.01.2022 Do you know anyone doing Movember? If you do tag them below and we will all give them a round of applause. It’s a pretty amazing cause, if you dont know it’s an annual month long event where guys grow with all their might a fabulous moustache during the month of November. It’s not just for fun and bragging rights though, it’s to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.... We think it is one of the most worthy charities to donate to and now has a huge following Australia wide. @locketcreations

04.01.2022 STRETCH SERIES These babies are pretty great, Take them in the car...

02.01.2022 The immune system, we dont really think about it until it stops working, isnt it ironic? (If you didnt read that to the tune of Alanis Morisettte who even are you?) If you arent 100% on the immune system here is what it does for you every day. The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work harmoniously to defend the body against foreign invaders. ... The immune system works to keep foreign invaders out of the body, or if they do ente...r the body, to find and destroy them. Immunocare from Metagenics is a great way to *aid the immune system and give it a little helping hand. *Immunocare is vegan, free from soy protein, free from nuts and seeds, lactose free, gluten free, dairy protein free and free from corn. Hows that for a line up! Ask next time you are in the clinic chat to our practitioners to see if its suitable for you. *www.metagenics.com.au for product info and related research. @locket_photography See more
