🎃 Halloween Facts Series 👻
#7 — Your body has a built-in position sense!

How can you tell where your arm is without looking at it? No supernatural powers needed! 👻

Sensors in your muscles, tendons and joints send information to your brain about your body’s position and movement.

This sense is called proprioception. It helps you coordinate movement and contributes to your balance.

Your skeleton may be hidden, but your brain is keeping track! 🧠💀

#6 — Your bones adapt to how you use them!

Your skeleton is more adaptable than you might think! 💀

Over time, bones can change their structure in response to the loads placed on them. Bone cells detect these forces and help coordinate where bone is removed or built.

Your skeleton isn’t simply holding you up — it’s responding to how you use it.

That’s some clever construction going on beneath the costume! 🎃

#5 — Your skeleton is alive!

Your bones aren’t just a lifeless framework hiding beneath your skin! 💀

Bone is living tissue that is continually maintained through a process called remodelling. Specialised cells remove old bone, while others build new bone in its place.

Think of it as a tiny construction team working away inside your skeleton — without the hard hats! 👷🎃

#4 — You were born with more bones!

It sounds like a Halloween mystery: where did the extra bones go? 👶💀

Babies have about 300 bones, compared with the typical adult’s 206. As we grow, many separate bones gradually fuse together.

So those extra bones haven’t vanished — they’ve joined forces to form your adult skeleton!

Small body, more bones. Who would have thought?

#3 — What do you and a giraffe have in common?

Despite that incredibly long neck, a giraffe has seven cervical vertebrae — the same number of neck bones as a human! 🦒

The difference? A giraffe’s individual neck bones are much longer.

So a longer neck doesn’t necessarily mean more bones… just supersized ones! 💀

Did you know this one?

#2 — You’re shorter by bedtime!

Shrinking skeleton? Don’t be spooked! 💀

The discs between your spinal bones contain water. During the day, loading squeezes some fluid out, slightly reducing their height. During rest overnight, they take fluid back in — which is why you’re usually tallest first thing in the morning.

It’s a normal daily change, rather than your bones getting shorter!

Have you ever measured your height in the morning and evening? 📏

Swap your neck pillow, from your neck to your bottom, on long car or plane journeys. To help de-load your spine!

#1

Adult intervertebral discs are largely avascular. There are no blood vessels running directly through the tissue.

Because of this lack of a direct blood supply, they rely on diffusion and convective fluid exchange (the "mechanical pump" of imbibition) through the surrounding tissues to bring in nutrients (like oxygen and glucose) and flush out waste.

If lying on your shoulder hurts when you’re in bed, it could be because you’re compressing the shoulder joint.

If you’re having a lot of shoulder trouble, come and visit us in clinic, book an appointment for an in-depth consultation followed with manual therapy treatment.
