Out of office, but not out of movement ✈️🌿

Gemma is taking a little pause from clinic life to travel, spend time with friends and family, and celebrate a few weddings along the way. First stop, London! 🇬🇧

And of course, it didn’t take long before she found a way to get her body moving — just with a different view this time. 😂

A little reminder that rest and recovery don’t always mean doing nothing. Your usual routine might change when you’re travelling or taking time off, and that’s completely okay. Movement can simply be a walk, a stretch, a gentle session, or anything that feels good for your body.

And while Gemma is away, Micromovements is still moving! Eva and Kylie will be running Wednesday and Friday classes and reviewing a few patients, while Gemma will still be checking in with clients online. 🤍

So if you need us, please still get in touch.

Different scenery, different pace — keep moving in a way that feels good. 🌿

What began as two simple community events became something so much bigger💚

Together, through Pilates for a Cause and Walk for a Cause, we’ve seen firsthand how movement can bring people together—not just to improve health, but to support a cause that matters.

To everyone who joined us, donated, volunteered, or simply cheered us on, thank you. Your generosity and kindness remind us why we love being part of this community.

At Micromovements, we believe movement isn’t just about exercise. It’s about connection, compassion, and creating positive change—one step, one stretch, and one person at a time.

Here’s to building a healthier, stronger, and more connected community together. We can’t wait to see you at our next event. 💙

Yes… we really do this on purpose 🪡😳

Dry needling is a physiotherapy technique used to help reduce muscle tightness, pain, and those stubborn “knots” that don’t seem to go away with stretching alone.

Those tight spots (often called trigger points) can contribute to:

• local muscle pain 💪

• referred pain (pain felt somewhere else)

• stiffness or restricted movement

• muscles that feel constantly “switched on”

The goal isn’t to “fix everything with needles” — it’s to help calm overactive muscle tissue so your body can move and function more freely again 💡

It’s often used alongside movement, strengthening, and hands-on physiotherapy techniques to support longer-term change, not just short-term relief.

Not every condition needs dry needling, and it’s always based on assessment and suitability.

But for the right person, it can be a useful way to reset irritated muscle activity and get you moving better again 🧍‍♀️

If you’ve ever wondered what it actually does… now you know 👀

Jaw pain isn’t just “jaw pain.” 🦷
For many people, TMJ dysfunction quietly shows up as a mix of symptoms that don’t always feel connected at first:

• headaches around the temples 🤕
• jaw clicking or stiffness when talking or chewing
• neck and upper shoulder tension 🧍‍♀️
• pain or fatigue in the face
• even ear discomfort or a “blocked” feeling 👂

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) works constantly every time you speak, chew, yawn, or even clench without noticing. When it becomes irritated or overloaded, the surrounding muscles and neck often step in to compensate — and that’s where symptoms start to spread.
This is where physiotherapy can help 💡

Treatment focuses on:
• reducing muscle overactivity in the jaw and neck
• improving jaw joint movement and control
• addressing contributing posture and movement habits
• helping you get back to pain-free daily function (talking, eating, living normally again)

TMJ issues don’t always need to be “lived with.” They can often be improved with the right assessment and approach.
If this sounds familiar, it may be worth getting your jaw checked. 📩

What a weekend supporting the GC Marathon! 🏃‍♀️👏
With a cheeky 10K PB the day before, it was a great reminder that while chasing a personal best is exciting, your finish time isn’t the only thing that matters.

Take a moment to soak in the atmosphere, celebrate the months of training, and appreciate what your body is capable of. Every runner on that start line has already achieved something worth being proud of.

Whether you crossed the finish line with a PB or simply crossed it at all—well done. Showing up is something to celebrate. 💙
