25.01.2022 You wouldn’t think it, but walking is actually a pretty complex activity! Did you know that you use around 200 muscles in just a single step? Walking uses the foot, leg, gluteal and hip muscles, plus a bunch of stabilising muscles to help keep you upright! Now, imagine having a small issue in just one or two of these muscles it can throw out your gait or walking pattern, causing imbalances and other issues, as well as pain. Don’t worry, because we can help fix your issues a...nd restore your normal function. Want to know more?

12.01.2022 Today is World spine day! One of the most common spinal injuries is what we like to call iPad neck, i.e. when the head juts forwards in front of the shoulders as a result of hours spent looking down at your mobile phone, iPad or computer. This posture stretches the spinal cord, nerves, important ligaments and muscles, which can then refer pain to the head and neck. Next time you are using your device, think about your posture and raise your device to eye-level. This can straighten your spine and alleviate pain associated with this injury. #WorldSpineDay

05.01.2022 Why is osteopathy important? Osteos help restore proper motion in joints, releasing tension in the muscles and allowing the body to function as efficiently and effectively as possible. #Osteopathy #innerwesthealthclinic

04.01.2022 Sleep is a time to relax, but it's also a time when the body is hard at work repairing itself. While you are asleep, your body repairs damage caused by stress, ultraviolet rays and other harmful exposure. Why? Because your cells produce more protein while you are sleeping. These protein molecules form the building blocks for cells, allowing them to repair while you are getting some shut eye. Osteopathy is about looking at the body holistically, which is why we sometimes ask patients about their sleep!

03.01.2022 Out-toeing is when a child’s feet are excessively turned outward. This can occur due to an abnormal outward twist in the thigh bone, which directly affects the positioning of the knee and foot. Other causes can be from an abnormal twist in the shin bone, flat feet or over-contracted muscles in the hip region. Noticed your child has outward pointing feet? Book an appointment today so we can assess them and get them on the straight and narrow asap! #osteo #osteopathy #outtoeing #innerwesthealthclinic

02.01.2022 November’s word of the month is ‘Coeliac’. Coeliac is the name given to a disease where people are unable to tolerate gluten in their diet. Gluten is a protein found in wheat products, as well as barley and rye. Coeliac disease leads to damage of the lining of the small intestine which then leads to poor nutrient absorption by the body (aka malnutrition). This condition affects both sexes and all ages. If you’re coeliac and have a delicious gluten-free recipe recommendation, please share #osteo #osteopathy #wordofthemonth #coeliacdisease
