After 20 years working as an Osteopath, there are a few things I just wouldn’t do.

So here are 4 things I personally wouldn’t do and why!

How much of what you’ve been told about disc bulges is actually true?

Can a disc really “slip out”? Does a bulge mean lifelong pain? Is complete rest always the safest option? And does an MRI tell us everything we need to know?

Swipe through as we unpack some of the most common disc myths.

Still training like you're 21 and wondering why your body isn't having it? 😬

There's training hard, and then there's ignoring every warning sign because you're determined to "push through."

In Episode 2, Dr Houda and Dr Ali draw on more than 40 years of combined experience as Osteopaths to cut through the wellness noise and talk about what longevity actually looks like. Building muscle after 30. Protecting your mobility before you lose it. Why men often ignore pain and how women carry stress differently.

Only 25% of patients experienced pain relief after a cortisone injection 🤔

That statistic shook up medical societies, but the injection itself may not be the whole story.

This study is putting the way cortisone injections are used under the microscope, and what it reveals might surprise you.

Watch until the end, then let us know where you stand.

New recommendations on cortisone injections for spine pain have divided opinion across the medical community.

One side says the recommendations go too far. Another says they’re supported by the evidence. So… who’s right? That’s where things get interesting.

In the next video, we’ll unpack what the BMJ’s research actually found and whether the criticism holds up!

Be honest… how close are you to getting padel injury bingo? 😂

Sore shoulder or elbow? Knee pain? Hip strain? Still booked another game anyway?

It doesn’t mean you need to retire from padel. Sometimes your body just needs a little more support to keep up with your competitive spirit!

Some back and spine cases are anything but straightforward.

Meet Dr Houda and Dr Ali, our resident Osteopaths and experts in complex back and spine pain presentations at Greenacre Sports Medicine Clinic.

In Episode 1, they discuss a gap they’ve noticed in the health industry: what happens to patients whose pain continues despite multiple appointments, different treatments and conflicting opinions?

Together, they explore why complex pain can be difficult to understand and why these cases may require us to look beyond a single scan or symptom.

The conversation also takes a few unexpected turns, an honest debate about the trend of unregulated peptide use, how they discovered the Spinal Decompression Table, when surgery may need to be considered and why the person must remain at the centre of their care.

They don’t agree on everything, and that’s what makes the conversation interesting.

If you’ve ever wondered why some back and spine cases remain so difficult to resolve, start here.

Ever left a Chiro appointment thinking, “I don’t think they really understood what I was trying to say”?

For Dr Siham, our Chiropractor at GSMC, an appointment shouldn’t be a quick “crack and out the door” experience.

Watch to see what she does differently before treatment even begins. 👀

Everyone seems to have an opinion on peptides lately.

But after hearing this conversation, you might realise everyone's arguing about the wrong thing.
