What links posture to pain?
There is empirical evidence to suggest that good posture is more important than you might think.
Poor posture has been linked with joint pain, tension headaches, back pain, respiratory dysfunction and poor digestion. Although not being the sole cause, poor posture can also influence your emotional state and your tolerance to pain. Until we start to feel pain we often don’t realise these problems exist, but they are often present causing stress and fatigue.
Osteopathy can help treat these problems and improve your posture by releasing tension patterns and rebalancing your body, contact our clinic for an appointment today on 06 7587078 or book online under www.vivianstreetosteopaths.co.nz
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
