Katie.Halakas.Chiropractor Northern Beaches Chiro: dry needling,cupping,rehab, adjustments; dedicated to keeping everyone moving

Katie first realised that Chiropractic was her future when as a teenager she was diagnosed with severe idiopathic scoliosis (curvature of the spine). The degree of curvature was so bad that her only option was surgery. Katie now lives with screws and a metal rod along part of her spine. This experience helped her realise the crucial role prevention can play in spinal care. She studied full time for 6 years at Macquarie University, gaining her Bachelor in Chiropractic Science and Master of Chiropractic. Since qualifying, Katie has continued postgraduate studies including Applied Kinesiology, various pregnancy and paediatric seminars and has also completed certification for Sacro-Occipital Technique. Katie loves seeing families in practice and has particular interest in women’s and children’s health, as well as nutrition and preconception care.

This is by far one of my favourite things to do. Yes, I love running- you all know me as “that runner” but this is absolutely a close second (or even a tie). I am so lucky to live so close to mountain biking trails, lots of bush, peace… pops of wildflowers and sunshine.

I am always intentionally grateful for this. It prepares me to be the best version of me I can be, to look after you…

I genuinely hope every person finds this type of happiness for themselves… 🤍

Sydney Marathon runners — do this tonight before you rest up.
I’m Katie, a chiropractor here on the Northern Beaches, and this is exactly what I tell my patients to do the night before a big race — hamstrings, glutes, quads, and a solid adductor stretch to loosen everything up before race day.
Follow along for more running hacks + recovery tips from a chiro’s perspective — the stuff that actually keeps you running, not just getting through one race 🏃‍♀️
I’ll see you for your recovery treatment next week: Katiehalakas.com

THE best thing you can do tonight is make this.

Chop veg, spray with oil, crack of paper, pinch of salt, throw it in the oven for 20 minutes at 220 degrees Celsius, add pumpkin seeds… Enjoy! 😋 🥦

There’s something about children (and adults!) playing team sports… 🏉

The fresh air, the shared effort, the way exercise stops feeling like a chore and starts feeling like belonging…

I try hard not to make movement a “should” in my house. Just find something you love and do it. The sport doesn’t matter. What matters is it’s theirs, their choice, their team, their love…

RAISE KIDS WHO MOVE BECAUSE THEY LOVE IT, NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE’S MAKING THEM

Trust me, this was a lesson I had to learn by making mistakes. But if you love movement, they see the joy you get from it, and that slowly sinks in. Such a joy to watch 💫

Morning runs with me.
This could be you.

It doesn’t have to be fast.
You don’t need the perfect mood — running creates that.
You just need to start.
No pressure. Just movement.
If niggles are holding you back, don’t ignore them. A whisper now is a scream later — and the longer you wait, the longer it takes to get back to enjoying mornings like this.
I’m grateful for mornings like this — and I want everyone to have the same opportunity.

This is the part of my day nobody sees. 🌅
Up before the sun, hitting the trail while everyone else is still asleep — no notifications, no noise, just me and the track.
It’s raw, it’s bumpy. Every single time, I finish and think: worth it.
This is how I show up for everyone else later — patients, my business, everything. It starts here, and it’s pure magic

Rosemary. Mustard. Onion. Garlic. One slow cooker, and a Sunday that basically runs itself. This is the lazy-genius method for lamb that falls apart at the touch of a fork — no basting, no watching, no stress…

Mustard = built-in tenderizer. It breaks down the meat’s surface and helps the rub cling instead of sliding off — so every bite carries flavor, not just the crust.

Rosemary + garlic = the classic lamb pairing for a reason. Rosemary’s piney sharpness cuts through the richness of the fat; garlic mellows into something sweet and deep after hours of low heat.

Onion does double duty. It softens into the sauce as a natural thickener and adds a savory backbone so you’re not relying on stock or cream.

Low and slow = forgiving. You can’t really overcook this — the collagen in tougher cuts breaks down into gelatin, which is why it shreds instead of chews.
10 minutes of effort, 8 hours of “I’m a great cook now.” All the labor happens without you

This is what running looks like from my shoes ☀️
Do what you love. Move in a way that fills your cup.
This is it for me — pure joy. I’m lucky to have views like this, but honestly, I run *to* soak up views like this.
