🟣Got neck pain? The problem might not be in your neck🟣

Most people try to stretch it out.
Roll the head around, pull it to one side, hope for the best.

Sometimes that helps. Often it doesn’t. And occasionally it makes things worse.

Here’s what’s usually actually going on, your neck hurts because something else isn’t moving well enough. Your upper back, your shoulders, even how you’re breathing can all load the neck more than it should be taking.

Treating just the neck misses the point.
That’s why I never just work on the area that hurts. I look at the whole picture, what’s stiff, what’s weak, what’s compensating for what.

A few things that actually help neck pain:
Move your upper back, not just your neck. Chin tucks over head rolls. Check your screen height, eyes level with the top third of your monitor. Sleep on one pillow, not three.

None of these are magic. But they’re a better starting point than cranking your head around and hoping.

Save this, and if it’s been going on for more than a couple of weeks, it’s probably worth getting it looked at properly.

🟣Did you know sports massage is available here too?🟣

Not just from me, there’s also Xanna, who rents a room alongside my clinic.

This one’s for the active crowd. The pole and aerial lot. The gym regulars, the runners, the people doing manual jobs all day and feeling it by Friday ⚽️

Maybe you’ve got tight shoulders from training. A stiff lower back after a long shift. Legs that feel like concrete after a heavy session 🥊

You don’t need a full assessment for that. You just need someone who knows bodies, properly knows them, to get in there and sort it out.

Xanna’s own back story is a big part of why she does this. She’s dealt with long term back pain herself, properly knows what it’s like to be stuck with it. That’s exactly why she wants to help people going through the same thing ✨

So whichever of us you choose, you’re in good hands. Literally.

Picture this: you walk in tight, achy, maybe a bit grumpy from how your body’s been feeling 💥

You walk out looser. Lighter. Like you can actually move properly again 😌

If you’re in Thanet and your body’s been asking for a bit of attention, this might be exactly what you need.

Want to know more? Message me “INFO” and I’ll point you in the right direction.

🟣5 ways to know your back pain isn’t “just getting older”🟣

You’ve been telling yourself it’s normal.

A bit of stiffness when you get up. A twinge when you bend to tie your shoes. Sore after a long shift on your feet.

Here’s the thing:- pain isn’t just a side effect of having a birthday.

1️⃣ It’s been hanging around for weeks, not days
A ni**le after a heavy gym session? Fine, give it time.
Still there three weeks later? That’s your body asking for help.

2️⃣ You’ve started avoiding things
Skipping the school run on the bike. Sitting out netball. Saying no to picking up the grandkids.
If pain is shrinking your world, that’s not normal, that’s a sign.

3️⃣ One side feels “off” compared to the other
Tightness, weakness, or a pull that’s only on one side.
Worth getting looked at.

4️⃣ It’s affecting your sleep or your mood
Tossing and turning. Snapping at the kids because you’re sore and tired.
Pain doesn’t just live in your back — it follows you everywhere.

5️⃣ You’ve Googled it more than once and you’re getting nowhere
If you’re searching symptoms at 11pm, some part of you already knows it’s time to get it checked properly.

Here in Thanet, I see this pattern constantly, all the same story. People push through for months because they’re busy, because it’s not “that bad,” because private healthcare feels like a faff.

But the earlier we look at it, the easier it usually is to sort.

does this sound like you? If the answer is yes, message me the word ‘INFO’ and we can have a little chat about your pain.

🟣Sitting down all day? Steal my stretch routine🟣

A couple of weeks ago I spoke about how your job may be affecting your bodily pain. Particularly how sitting down at a desk for long periods of time without moving can cause you to stiffen up and feel achy.

He is a short stretch and mobility routine that you can do every 30 to 60 minutes while you’re at work to help prevent your body from being in the same position for eight hours straight.

Set a reminder on your phone to tell you when it is time to get up and do this routine.

After trying this for a couple of days, let me know below how you’re feeling at the end of the day now.

🟣People always ask ‘What makes that crack?’🟣

Lots of people associate the ‘crack’ with osteopathic technique and yes we do use it quite a lot. But what is it? 🦴

Put simply it’s just some gases being released from the joint fluid. That’s it, nothing more complicated than that.

It’s also nothing to worry about. When I do techniques that make the cracking sound, I have fully assessed that person for their suitability for the technique. I’m not going to do it if I think it is going to have any negative consequences.

🟣Stress and Pain🟣

Last week I talked about how job stress can contribute to pain.

This week, I wanted to share some practical strategies you can use when stress starts to build.

Pain is rarely just about tissues, muscles, or joints. Factors such as stress, sleep, workload, and recovery can all influence how sensitive our bodies become.
That’s why managing pain often involves more than treating the painful area alone.

The 4-3-2-1 framework in this post gives you simple ways to respond to stress:
🟣 In the moment
🟣 After the event
🟣 The following day
🟣 Over the longer term

If you’re struggling with persistent aches, tension, or recurring pain, it may be worth considering whether stress is playing a role too.

💬 Have you noticed a connection between stressful periods and your symptoms?

🟣Do you get back pain when standing for a long time?Try this quick fix🟣

When you are standing for a long period of time, it’s really common to start slouching and letting the pelvis push forwards. This causes the lower back to arch more and all the joints in the lumbar spine become closer together and get compressed which can then start to ache.
Titling the pelvis the other way by squeezing the glutes can help to reduce the ache in the moment because it allows the lower back to flatten out a little bit and reduce the pressure going through the vertebral joints. Hold the squeeze for five seconds, relax and do it a few more times or as many times as you wish to.
