Know someone who'd benefit from a bit more ease in their day? This August, referring them could win you a $150 hamper.

Here's how it works. Refer a friend or family member to Northbridge Chiropractic during August. When they book and complete their Initial Consult by 31 August, and write your name on their Initial Consult form, you'll go in the draw to win a $150 hamper full of goodies.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

Tell your friend to mention your name when they book, so it's fresh in their mind.

The form is what counts, so remind them to write your name down when they fill in their Initial Consult form. That's what makes your entry valid.

Know someone who could use a little support with their movement and wellbeing? Refer them this August.

Right, quick Monday one that I reckon a lot of people don't know about.

Most people think bad posture just causes back pain. Fair enough. But here's something that doesn't get talked about enough — the way you sit also directly affects how much air your lungs can actually take in.

When you're hunched over a laptop with your chest caved in, your diaphragm literally has less room to move. A 2024 study on office workers found that people sitting for more than six hours a day showed measurable decreases in lung function compared to those sitting less. Not massive, but real and significant.

Think about that — you might be walking around slightly under-oxygenated and not even know it, because the tiredness just feels normal.

Quick thing to try right now: sit up, roll your shoulders back, and take a proper deep breath into your belly. Notice how much more air fits compared to when you're slumped.

That's your body telling you something.

Book online if you'd like to understand what's actually happening through your thoracic spine.

𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲. 𝐒𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭!

That's a wrap on July.
Thanks for following along, whether you've been here since January or just found us this month.

Quick recap of the big ideas this month: grip tension travels further than you'd think, your vagus nerve matters more than people realise, winter makes all of us hunch a bit more, and school holidays are basically a workout in disguise for parents.

Have a great weekend, and we'll see you in August with some new stuff to dig into.

Book online any time.
We're always happy to help.

Last Wednesday of the month, so a quick one.

If anything we've shared this month actually helped — the grip tension tip, the breathing trick, the winter hunching thing, flick it on to a mate who'd find it useful.

That's honestly the best way this kind of info gets to the people who need it.

And if you've been meaning to book in but just haven't gotten around to it, this is your nudge.
No drama either way, just putting it out there.

Thanks for following along this month. Book online whenever suits.

𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐨: 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐲 𝐯𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 (𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞)

Heading into the weekend — quick gut check.

Busy and tired is one thing.
You're stretched, but a decent sleep and a quiet evening sorts you out.

Properly depleted is different.
The tiredness doesn't really lift even after rest, and you're running on fumes more than usual.

If it's the second one, it's worth taking seriously rather than just gritting your teeth through to the end of the weekend.
Doesn't need to be a big thing, even 15 minutes a day that's genuinely just for you can help.

Have a good weekend, however you're spending it.
Book online if your body's been asking for a bit of attention.

If you've got kids, you already know school holidays just started, and your schedule's about to get a whole lot weirder.

Here's the bit that doesn't get talked about much: school holidays change your body's load just as much as they change your calendar. You're carrying kids on your hip more, wrangling car seats, sitting cross-legged on the floor doing puzzles, hauling bags to the beach or the park. All movement you don't normally do during term time.

It's not a bad thing, movement variety is genuinely good for your body. But if you're not used to it, your back and shoulders can get a bit cranky in the first week or two while they adjust.

Quick tip: when you're lifting kids, try to bend from the knees rather than the back, even for quick pick-ups. Old advice, still true, still gets ignored by basically everyone (myself included sometimes).

Hope the holidays treat you well.
Book online if anything's feeling off.

If the sun actually decides to show up this weekend (no promises, this is Perth winter we're talking about), make the most of it.

A bit of time outside, even just standing in the sun for ten minutes with a cuppa, does wonders for shifting your body out of that hunched, cold-weather posture we've been talking about all week. Sunlight and a change of environment genuinely help reset things, both physically and mentally.

Doesn't need to be a big event. Just a proper few minutes outside, shoulders back, face up.

Have a great weekend!
