Even your chiropractor needs to stretch!

August has involved a little personal challenge for me — lots more walking and getting those kilometres into my legs.

But increasing activity also comes with an important reminder…

Recovery and mobility matter too.

Between walking, treating patients and all the other things we ask our bodies to do every day, muscles can get tired and tight. Today my body was definitely reminding me that it was time to spend a few minutes on the floor with the foam roller and have a good stretch!

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s simply:

🧘‍♀️ Taking 5–10 minutes to stretch
🚶‍♀️ Moving regularly throughout the day
💧 Staying hydrated
😴 Allowing your body time to recover
❤️ And actually listening when your body tells you it needs a little attention

My August walking challenge has been a great reminder that looking after your body isn’t just about how much you can do — it’s also about how well you recover.

And yes… apparently chiropractors occasionally need reminding to practise what we preach too!

How are you looking after your body this week?

What can self care look like. For me it was getting my early morning walk in & now hydrating for today.

It is easy to fall into the pattern of “I’m so busy or I don’t have time”. The thing I have learnt is if you do not prioritise self care your body will get to a point and demand it!

So if you are after a quick check over, I have appointments this afternoon, Thursday morning and all day Friday with easy online booking.

If you are not going to look after yourself who is going to?

Thank you to everyone for their patience over the past 2 weeks with my reduced hours looking after Morgan.
The past couple of days I have had a very special receptionist/ helper in clinic as she completes her 2 weeks off kinder after her tonsils were removed.
As you can see she has recovered amazingly well & been such a source of entertainment, chatting with many who have come in for an appointment!
My hours return to “normal” next week so if you need an adjustment please book in!

Being a mum and a small business owner can be tough at times… like right now! Morgan has gone into hospital to have her tonsils removed so that means a few more days out of clinic and reduced hours for the next 2 weeks.
Then, as I am feeling pretty good now, my hours will extend out!
I thank everyone for their patience over the past couple of months as I recover & get to do mum duties!
I am looking forward to a busy second half of the year!

Quick update!

2 last minute review appointments have opened up for tomorrow afternoon, 330 or 4pm. Please book online to grab them!

I will be away next week with my step children but I am working the public holiday, Monday 6th July.

Thank you all for your patience as I recover from surgery & navigate my children’s health concerns.

First “full” week back in clinic! 3 days working 2 hours a day. Who would have thought I would be this tired!
Thank you to everyone for your patience.
I have extended the shifts next week but currently only have appointments left Thursday morning.
It feels good to be working a few more hours each week as I recover & slowly regain my strength & endurance.
Please use the online bookings link for the quickest way to get an appointment!

Unfortunately my recovery is not going to plan with my body having a couple of speed bumps. I am ok but my stitches are taking longer to heal and a small post operative infection to overcome. The best bit is I can listen to my own advice and rest!

I now plan on resuming clinic in early June with short shifts Monday & Friday afternoons and Thursday mornings.

Thank you to everyone for your patience as I recover.

Hello everyone, just an update on Stacey.
Her surgery went really well. It’s day 3 and she is starting to feel normal again.
Thanks to everyone who has messaged.

This time next week I will be heading into the hospital for surgery.

For those that are not aware I spent a bit of time last year in & out of hospital with diverticulitis. As a consequence they found some damaged bowel and found that I have another condition called adenomyosis in my uterus with some suspected endometriosis. So the plan is to remove the problematic part of my bowel & have a hysterectomy. I will be having at least 4 weeks off before making a very slow return into clinic with planning to work a few 2 hour shifts as I ease myself back in with my recovery. Please keep an eye on my socials as this will be the best way to see how I am tracking!

So this week I have limited availability for review appointments, sorry I am not going to see new patients this week. The best way to get in is via online as I am only checking my phone at breaks and at the end of the day.

Thank you to everyone for their kind words, patience and understanding!
