Women’s Month: Movement Through Every Stage

Women experience different movement demands through various stages of life — from pregnancy and motherhood to work, exercise, daily routines, and ageing.

Each stage may influence posture, mobility, balance, and the way the body adapts to everyday activities.

This Women’s Month, we acknowledge the importance of understanding movement through every season of life.

Awareness of these changes can help individuals make informed choices about daily movement, function, and overall musculoskeletal wellbeing.

Tingling / Pins & Needles Awareness

Tingling, numbness, or a “pins and needles” sensation can be linked to different factors involving nerves, muscles, joints, posture, and movement patterns.

These symptoms should not be self-diagnosed.

A clinical examination can help assess contributing musculoskeletal factors and guide appropriate next steps where needed.

If symptoms are sudden, severe, worsening, or associated with weakness, they should be assessed promptly by a qualified healthcare professional.

Did You Know?

Chiropractors do not only assess the spine.

Shoulder movement plays an important role in everyday activities such as reaching, lifting, dressing, driving, and sport.

Chiropractic care may include the assessment of shoulder movement and related musculoskeletal function where appropriate.

Understanding how the shoulder moves can help individuals become more aware of upper-body movement and daily function.

Did You Know?

Many people think chiropractic care is only about back pain.

Chiropractors assess and manage concerns involving the spine, joints, muscles, and movement within defined professional boundaries.

Because the body works as a connected system, movement in one area may influence how another area functions.

At Dr Neil Gomes’ practice, the focus is on clinical examination, movement awareness, and helping patients better understand their musculoskeletal health.

Thoracic Spine Awareness

The thoracic spine refers to the mid-back region of the spine.

This area helps support posture, upper body movement, and rotation during everyday activities such as reaching, turning, and sitting upright.

Understanding the role of the mid-back can help individuals become more aware of how the spine contributes to daily movement and function.

Fun Fact 👀

The human body contains more than 600 muscles.

Many of these muscles work together every time you take a single step.

Walking may seem simple, but it involves coordination between muscles, joints, the spine, and balance.

It’s another reminder that everyday movement is more connected than we often realise.

Movement Isn’t Only Exercise

Movement happens throughout the day — often in ways we don’t even think about.

Walking to the car, taking the stairs, carrying groceries, or moving between daily tasks all require coordination between the spine, joints, and muscles.

From a chiropractic perspective, these everyday movements form part of how the body functions as a whole.

Awareness of daily movement habits can help individuals better understand the demands placed on the body during normal routines.
