“Why is your finger up their nose?” 😂

This technique definitely looks intense, but there’s a reason behind it.

Intranasal cranial release works through the nasal passages and surrounding tissues to address areas of tension, pressure and restriction.

For some people, this can contribute to a more comfortable breathing pattern and may help them feel more relaxed, especially when breathing mechanics, sinus pressure or tension are involved.

Breathing is also closely connected to the nervous system, which is why some people notice changes in relaxation and sleep afterwards.

The nose might be the focus, but the effects can extend far beyond it.

Chiropractors need chiropractic care too 😂👊🏽

I get adjusted around 1–2 times a week, depending on what my week looks like - gym, golf, work, and everything else that comes with life.

It’s not about waiting until something hurts. For me, it’s part of looking after my body, keeping on top of my movement and giving myself some time to recover from the demands I put on it.

We spend so much time looking after everyone else that it’s easy to forget to look after ourselves.

Self-care isn’t selfish - it’s part of the process🫡

One year ago, we took a leap and opened our own clinics - Functional Sports Chiropractic & Cove Chiropractic.

Fast forward to now… not only are we fully booked and growing, but more importantly, we’ve built something bigger than just a business - a community centred around health, performance, and helping people become their best.

Being able to impact lives every day is something we don’t take lightly.

This weekend was a reflection of that, and we couldn’t have done it without some incredible local support:
Big thank you to for keeping everyone refreshed, for the magnesium station, .supplementmart for the endless goodie bags, and .au for the amazing food. Big thanks to for letting us run the event in your space!

To our photographers - you captured the day perfectly 🤝

A big thank you to my colleague .chiro for putting in the work behind the scenes to help bring events like this together. The organisation and effort that goes into it doesn’t go unnoticed. It’s rare to work alongside another chiropractor who shares a similar philosophy and standard of care, and that level of professional trust goes a long way.

And to Rowan - the behind-the-scenes MVP. The amount of help with setup and organisation made a huge difference and definitely saved us on the day.

Appreciate everyone who came down and continues to support what we’re building.

This is only the beginning 🚀

The upper neck (upper cervical spine) plays an important role in how your head, neck, and nervous system function.

When this area becomes restricted or overloaded, it can contribute to symptoms such as headaches, neck stiffness, pressure at the base of the skull, and even feelings of dizziness or being “off.”

In many cases, it’s not just one structure - it’s a combination of joint restriction, muscle tension, and how the body has adapted over time.

Treatment focuses on improving movement, reducing tension, and helping the area function more efficiently.

Small area - but it can have a big impact on how you feel day to day.

This is something I commonly see in people like nurses who spend long hours on their feet, leaning forward, charting, lifting, and working in awkward positions 👩‍⚕️

One recent case presented with shortness of breath and a moderate sharp pain through the mid-back/rib region.

Often, it’s not the rib itself - it’s the surrounding thoracic joints, rib mechanics, and muscle tension from prolonged postures and repetitive strain.

This can make deep breathing uncomfortable and create that sharp ache through the mid back.

Restoring proper rib and thoracic movement, along with reducing the surrounding tension, can make a huge difference ✅

Posture isn’t just aesthetic - it can influence how your body feels day to day.

Spending long periods in a rounded, hunched position (hyperkyphotic posture) places extra stress on the upper back, neck, and chest. Over time, this can lead to increased tension, shallow breathing, fatigue, and in some cases even dizziness or nausea.

It’s not just about posture itself - it’s about how long you stay in those positions.

The goal isn’t to sit perfectly straight all day, but to move more, open up the body, and reduce that constant load.

That constant tightness in your neck and upper back isn’t just from “sleeping wrong.”

It’s usually a mix of:
• Posture
• Muscle overuse
• Joint stiffness
• Poor movement habits

If you’re always stretching but it keeps coming back… you’re likely missing the real issue.

Restore movement → reduce tension → fix the cause.

If stiffness, aches, or reduced movement are slowing you down, chiropractic care may help.

We focus on safe, tailored care to keep you moving and independent.

Tinnitus and jaw pain at the same time? That’s not a coincidence.

Your jaw (TMJ), neck, and surrounding muscles are closely linked to the structures around your ear.

When something isn’t functioning well — it can show up as:
• Ringing in the ears
• Jaw pain or clicking
• Headaches or tension

If you’re only focusing on the ear, you might be missing the real driver.

Assess the whole system → treat it properly.

Jaw pain, clicking, or tension? It’s not always a “jaw problem.”

It can be coming from your neck, posture, stress, or even how your muscles are working together.

If you’re only treating the jaw, you might be missing the real cause.

Assess the full picture → fix it properly.
