Posture and Pain Clinic

Most of us were told to ‘stand up straight and pull your shoulders back .

The problem?
Many people end up with shoulders and chest too far back. When you stand or walk like this, your eyes naturally point above the horizon, and then you have to pull your head and eyes down again to see where you’re going – which puts extra strain on the back of the neck.

In the clinic I often:
•use Bowen to treat both the neck and shoulders together (they’re linked), and
•adjust your standing and walking posture so your body is lined up and your eyes can rest naturally on the horizon without extra effort.
Clients usually feel their neck relax and breathing improve when we get this right.
If your neck feels tired or strained when you stand or walk, this may be part of the reason.

Text Neck & Phones

Neck and shoulder pain is often not ‘getting older’ – it’s **how we use our phones**.

When the head is hanging forward looking down at a screen, the neck and upper back are working overtime. Many people now have what’s called ‘text neck’ – tight, sore neck and shoulders from hours of looking down.

Two things I focus on in the clinic:
1)Gentle Bowen Therapy to release neck and shoulder tension
2)Simple posture changes like bringing the phone up to eye level instead of dropping the head down
Small daily changes like this stop you undoing the benefit of treatment.

If your neck and shoulders are complaining, this is exactly what we work on.

Do any of these sound like you?

•Waking with a stiff or sore lower back most mornings
•Pain that eases a bit, but never fully goes
•Back ache after sitting, driving or standing at work
•You keep going, but your body is complaining more often

Around 80% of my work at Posture and Pain Clinic is helping people with back pain using:
•gentle Bowen Therapy (fully clothed, no cracking)
•posture, breathing and daily-habit changes so it doesn’t just come straight back

If your back has been giving you signals for more than a couple of weeks, it might be time to do something about it.

Breathing & Anxiety Link

Most people with back pain don’t realise how much they’re also holding their breath.
We’re told to ‘stand up straight and pull your shoulders back’.
Often that ends up with people leaning too far back – tight lower back, shallow breathing high in the chest, and a nervous system stuck in stress mode.

In the clinic I do a simple experiment:
•Stand how you normally stand and take a deep breath
•Then gently pull your thighs back under you and breathe again
Most people feel the breath drop lower into the diaphragm and their arms swing more freely.

That new position helps the back and helps the nervous system calm down – very useful for stress and anxiety as well as pain.
This is why I combine Bowen Therapy with posture and breathing, not just pain relief.

If that sounds like you:

Why it keeps coming back.

“Many people I see for back pain say the same thing:
‘It gets better for a while… then it comes back.’
Most treatments only chase the pain.

In my clinic I do two things:
1)Use gentle Bowen Therapy to calm the pain and tension
2)Look at the big parts of your day – how you sleep, sit, stand, walk and drive
If you spend 6‑8 hours in bed or sitting in the wrong position, you undo a lot of the good work and slow down healing.
In a session I’ll often say, ‘Show me how you usually sleep or sit,’ and we make small changes so your back has a chance to heal and stay better.

If your back pain keeps coming back, this is exactly what we work on.

After a big race, recovery is just as important as training.

The runners I’ve seen since the Festival are using this time to:
•clear up any niggles before they become injuries
•reset posture and breathing after months of hard training
•debrief the mental side so they’re stronger for the next goal.

If you ran the Festival and your body is still telling you about it – or you’re already thinking about the next marathon or half – now is a good time to check in, not wait until something flares up.

Big congratulations to all the runners from the Townsville Running Festival – especially those chasing personal bests.

This year I had several marathon and half marathon runners come in for tune‑ups and posture/breathing work before race day.

Some of the feedback:
•‘You certainly did help with the advice and confidence building (and getting body parts as best they can be).’
•‘Body felt good and definitely used the mental blocking tips towards the back end.’
•The tuneups definitely assisted to get the training done!’

My focus with runners is:
•easing tight backs, hips and legs
•improving posture and breathing
•helping with the mental side when negative thoughts show up late in the race

If you’re building toward your next event and want your body and mind working together, I’m happy to help.

Big congratulations to everyone who ran in the Townsville Running Festival – especially the marathon and half marathon runners.

This week in the clinic my focus is recovery and reset:
•easing tight backs, hips and legs after race day
•helping your posture and breathing settle so your body can switch from ‘race mode’ to recovery
•dealing with niggles early so they don’t turn into long-term issues

If you’ve finished your race and your body is now telling you about it, I’m happy to help with the recovery side.

“Race week is here.

Over the years I’ve helped many runners in the Townsville Running Festival get to the start line feeling looser, smoother and more confident – sometimes it’s the difference between hitting a goal time and missing it.

At Posture and Pain Clinic I use gentle Bowen Therapy plus posture and movement tweaks to help:
•free up hips, back and legs
•settle niggles before they blow up
•calm the nervous system so you sleep better before race day
If you’re running the Festival and your body is complaining,

I still have a few spots left this week.
