01.06.2022 Come and see us in Agnes Water!

26.05.2022 Are you crystal clear on your goals? The majority of my clients come to me with two main goals: 1. Less pain 2. Better function/movement This is a great place to start! But, what I have found is that if we don’t chunk it down into more specific goals we may not see all of the changes and improvement that occur.... Often a person will achieve LESS PAIN quite quickly, but they still have some pain, which typically as humans we FOCUS on. It’s not until we delve deeper and ask questions like what’s the pain out of ten now? How far can you walk without pain now? How often are you getting headaches now? That they might think WOW! Although I still have SOME PAIN I have come a long way from when I started care. So I urge you with your goals to be a bit CLEARER. This example is for a particular health goal, but you can use it in any part of life. So now when people start Chiropractic care I ask them specific questions that I re-ask after 6 weeks. While the pain may still be there (imagine a pain you’ve had for years) it’s often a lot better than before AND they may not realise the other changes that have occurred in the body over that time. If you have pain at the moment, check in with yourself - Where is it? What time of day is it at it’s worst? What’s it stopping you from doing? How far can you walk, jog, run without pain? If you can walk 10 minutes pain free, make your goal to walk 20 minutes pain free! Do you have any health goals you’d like some CLARITY on? Feel free to comment or DM me, I’d love to help PS, How beautiful is this water at #heronisland !!!

12.05.2022 You’re still writing your own book, if you don’t like the last few chapters you’ve had, you can rewrite the next ones Anna Daniels. I was lucky to spend last Sunday morning with women who inspire and support me. I loved hearing from Anna Daniels who has written her own novel and often features on The Project! She really hit home when she talked about the current research showing that our thoughts and beliefs create our environment an...d future. So let’s believe and expect big things for ourselves she said. You might think that in a small town fellow health professionals may be competitive. For us 3 it’s actually the opposite! We work together to provide health and wellness care for the community and build great relationships at the same time #IWD2019 #womensupportingwomen #balanceforbetter See more

22.04.2022 Happy Tuesday! What a perfect day

04.04.2022 Word of the week Every Monday I am going to choose a word that sets the intention of my week. If it resonates with you, you can use it too! Or you can think of your own. MOMENTUM- Last week was my busiest week EVER in practice! This week I want to build and flow with that momentum.... Also last week I got back into my routine of regular exercise and eating healthier meals after holidays, so this week I’ll continue and hopefully build more momentum. #momentum #wordoftheweek See more

24.01.2022 Chiropractic is great for kids who: - Have falls, knocks and bumps while playing - Sit a lot - at school and at their desk - Carry a heavy school bag - Play lots of sport... Childhood is the ideal time to promote good posture and set up great habits for life! #chiropractic #chiroforkids #children #health #wellbeing

24.01.2022 Hi! My name is Lucy. My passion is promoting health and wellbeing to the community

23.01.2022 As shocking as this posture may look, it is becoming more and more common in our community. Long periods of sitting, limited breaks, increased pressure and stress, less movement and exercise and poor chairs can contribute to poor posture. Poor posture may cause:... - Headaches - Neck pain and tightness - Back pain - Hip pain - Rounded shoulders and forward head carriage - And more! Talk to your chiropractor about improving your posture!

22.01.2022 Some inspiration to get us to the weekend! #TGIF

22.01.2022 This week is Spinal Health Week! Did you know that 1 in 6 Australians suffer from Chronic Back Pain? Chiropractic care can help restore and maintain spinal health. Help is at hand! Contact me through my page, or click the link in the video for more information.... #spinalhealthweek #chronicbackpain #helpisathand

17.01.2022 With new research coming out about the side-effects of anti-inflammatories it is more important that ever to limit their use. When possible try a conservative, natural treatment option, like Chiropractic, to reduce your pain and inflammation. http://www.theage.com.au//one-week-of-antiinflammatories-r

17.01.2022 Happy Tuesday! What a perfect day

15.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW Chiropractors are trained to assess and treat the whole body, not just the spine. While we do focus on the spine and nervous system, chiropractors may be able to help with your other joint problems too. Your chiropractor may use adjustments, mobilisations, taping, stretching and strengthening exercises for ankle pain.

14.01.2022 Have you heard of TEXT NECK? Its a new diagnosis for neck pain caused by spending too long hunched forward over a phone or iPad. The reason for the new name is that its a fairly new problem! 20 years ago we didnt all have mobile phones, and if we did we certainly werent hunched over them for hours on end. Symptoms of text neck may include:... - Neck pain, stiffness, aching and tightness - Headaches - Nagging or sharp pain between the shoulders - General pain and soreness Did you know that for every centimetre our head moves forward from our correct posture, it puts an extra 4 kgs of load on our upper back! Think about this pressure over a whole day and week!

14.01.2022 Poor lifting techniques can cause many lower back issues, especially repeated over a period of time. Poor lifting technique and weak core muscles can put extra LOAD/STRESS on the lumbar spine (lower back). Always try to BEND at the KNEES when lifting objects, no matter how heavy they are. Getting into good movement habits all the time can PREVENT injuries, especially as we age.... https://www.facebook.com/viralthread/videos/778846485621370/

14.01.2022 Pilates and a walk with these two before work today! What exercise are you doing today?

12.01.2022 Jaimie getting her spine checked after a big hockey game last weekend

11.01.2022 Most people know they should stretch, but a lot of us rarely actually do it! Stretching is a great way to increase flexibility and release tight muscles in the body, especially after exercise. Stretching also promotes blood circulation and may decrease the risk of injury. Certain stretches can also improve POSTURE! Stretching out your pecs is a great way to start. The pec muscles can become tight in people who sit at a desk for long periods of the day. It is important to counterbalance a poor seated posture by doing pec stretches throughout the day.

11.01.2022 Chiropractors love your spine! Did you know Chiropractors in Australia spend 5 years at university studying the human body and how it works? The spine houses your nervous system, the most important system in the human body! You only get one spine, how well are you looking after yours?

10.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW around 60% of an adult body is made of water? Every cell, tissue and organ in the body needs water to work efficiently. Water helps regulate body temperature, transport nutrients and flush out toxins and waste.... Water can: - Increase energy - Improve skin complexion - Prevent muscle cramps and strains - Boost the immune system And many more things! Aim to drink at least 2 litres of water per day for adults. If you dont like plain drinking water, try adding some lemon or cucumber to it to change the taste up.

09.01.2022 BLUEBERRIES A great snack which are low in sugar and very high in antioxidants! Blueberries may help: - Prevent ageing - Lower your blood pressure ... - Protect cognitive decline - Bowel and bladder function - Protect against cancer, heart disease and diabetes As well as containing antioxidants, blueberries are high in vitamin C, K and E! Try adding them to a smoothie or eating them as is See more

08.01.2022 I’m ninety but I feel like I’m fifty. I don’t take any medicine. I never complain. I’m just happy to be alive. I tell people: ‘Start with what you have, no...t with what you want.’ Every day I dance for two hours. And I’m still really interesting too. I love politics and literature. I love the sciences. And I’ve got a boyfriend named Alexander. We exchange books. I don’t even know how old he is. (Moscow, Russia)

05.01.2022 EPSOM SALTS A great tool for muscle cramps, muscle recovery and general aches and soreness. Perfect for some weekend relaxation or recovery from weekend sport! Epsom salts are naturally occurring magnesium and sulfate. Epsom salts are absorbed through the skin to replenish magnesium stores in the body to: - Ease stress and relax the body ... - Relieve muscle cramps and pain - Help muscle and nerve function - Eliminate toxins from the body You can buy this box from the supermarket for a reasonable price. To use run a hot bath and add a cup of the salts to the bath. Sit and relax! If you dont have a bath, fill up a big bucket/foot bath and soak your feet. See more

05.01.2022 Heres an example of a simple pec stretch you can do at home. - Simply stand with your right side at 90 degrees to the wall - Extend and lift your right arm behind you - Place your right palm flat on the wall... - Step further forward to increase the stretch if necessary You should feel this stretch across the front of your right chest. Hold for at least 30 seconds and then switch sides! Do this at least once a day. Its a great one to do during the work day to break up time at your desk See more

05.01.2022 Come and see us in Agnes Water!

04.01.2022 A new week brings new opportunities Have a great Monday!

02.01.2022 GUT HEALTH Try some of these simple tips to increase the good bacteria in your digestive system: - Eat real, whole foods! - Avoid sugar - Add some fermented foods to your diet: sauerkraut (like this one), kimchi, kombucha and natural yoghurt all contain good bacteria for your gut. Start small and build up with these foods. - Dont overuse antibiotics - these deplete the good bacteria in the gut. If you do need them, make sure youre supplementing with a high quality probiotic to replenish the good bacteria!

01.01.2022 Simple steps to AVOID TEXT NECK: Tag a friend who needs to see these! 1. Try to hold your phone at eye level as much as possible, so that your neck isnt in flexion which may put pressure on your spine... 2. Take regular breaks from your screen. Get up and have a quick walk and shoulder roll, even if its just a walk into another room and back, it all adds up 3. Limit your screen time to less than 2 hours a day! 4. Do some simple neck stretches daily (more on this in the next post) 5. Be mindful about what youre actually doing on your phone. Were all guilty of pointlessly scrolling through Facebook and Instagram, but think about using that time more wisely, listening to a podcast could be a better use of your time. 6. Try going for a walk outside instead! Or find another hobby which challenges your brain and gets you in a better posture.
