🦶 Understanding pain: plantar fasciitis 🦶

Heel pain is one of the most common things I see in clinic, and while it can be frustrating, it’s usually very manageable with the right approach.

This post breaks down what it is, why it happens, and what can help.

As always - recovery is usually about gradual, consistent load management rather than quick fixes 💙.

If you’re struggling with this, feel free to get in touch.

✨ A simple breathing exercise to help slow things down ✨

When we’re stressed or busy, many of us start breathing more shallowly into the chest and neck.

Diaphragm breathing encourages a more relaxed, efficient breathing pattern and can help reduce tension and support nervous system regulation.

Instead of breathing into the upper chest, the breath expands lower into the ribcage and abdomen.

You can do this anywhere — sitting, standing, or lying down. You don’t need to be in a specific position for it to be effective.

Simple. Gentle. Effective. 💙

Save this for when you need a quick reset.

✨ Quick desk reset ✨

If you’re sitting for long periods and start to feel stiff, these are three simple movements you can do at your desk:
• Chin tucks
• Levator scapula stretch
• Shoulder rolls

They’re quick, gentle, and easy to fit into your day - no equipment needed.

Remember, it’s not about being perfect - just moving a little more, a little more often 💙

Save this for later or come back to it during your workday.

Osteo, Physio or Chiro…🤔

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get in clinic. Personally, I find there are more similarities than differences.
But broadly speaking…

👩🏻‍⚕️ Physiotherapy comes from the perspective of exercise rehabilitation to restore any mechanical deficits a person may have.
👩🏻‍⚕️ Osteopathy comes from the perspective that the body is a unit and should be treated as a whole.
👩🏻‍⚕️ Chiropractic is based on spinal adjustments in order to have a positive change to the body through manipulating the nervous system via the spine.

Ultimately, all three professions work to improve the structure and function of the body using a variety of manual therapy techniques. All three professions should take a thorough case history, assessment, and then based on those results, form a diagnosis and treatment plan or referral if necessary.

My advice? Choose the practitioner, not the discipline. There is no one superior therapy in this case. Finding someone who works for you will give you much greater results than someone who doesn’t. ☺️

Can back pain really be blamed on posture? 🤔

It’s one of the most common questions I hear in clinic. While posture can sometimes contribute to stiffness or discomfort, research shows that back pain is usually multifactorial - influenced by things like sleep, stress, movement, lifestyle, and general health.

Instead of chasing the perfect posture, it’s often more helpful to focus on regular movement, variety, and building strength in the body.

If back pain is something you’re dealing with, feel free to drop me a message. 💙👩🏻‍⚕️
