Bodyfocus Osteopathy & Pilates

We’re really looking forward to being part of this lovely event tomorrow with Calm Birth Launceston.

Our osteopath Lizzie Gibb will be joining their Pregnancy Support Group to share practical insights into supporting your body through the physical changes of pregnancy and preparing for birth and recovery.

Lizzie has a special interest in caring for women throughout pregnancy and will be discussing topics such as:

• Comfortable movement during pregnancy
• Supporting overall pregnancy wellbeing
• Body support and balance as your body changes
• Creating space and ease for baby positioning
• Everyday movement and ergonomic tips
• Post-birth recovery and returning to function

The session will also touch on postpartum rehabilitation and C-section scar tissue care, with plenty of time for questions and open discussion.

✨New at Bodyfocus ✨

We’re now stocking two collagen supplements from Designs for Health in-clinic, carefully selected by Sarah Hargrave (Osteopath & Naturopath).

🌿Whole Body Collagen
A premium collagen blend designed to support overall health and wellbeing.

🌿Complete Joint Collagen
A collagen formula with added turmeric extract, designed for those seeking extra nutritional support for their joints and connective tissues.

Why we might recommend these:
Collagen supplements may be considered for people who are interested in supporting:
The general health of their joints, tendons and ligaments
Their connective tissue integrity alongside movement and lifestyle strategies
Overall wellbeing as part of a holistic approach to care

Both products are practitioner-only, which means they are available to our patients following a consultation and recommendation from one of our practitioners.
If you’re curious, ask your Osteopath at your next appointment to see if these may be suitable for you.

💢 Jaw Pain or Stiffness? 💢

Do you notice:
✅ A tight or aching jaw after talking, chewing, or concentrating?
✅ Clicking or locking when you open or close your mouth?
✅ Headaches or tension in your face, neck, or temples?

These can all be signs your jaw is under extra strain—sometimes from clenching or grinding, stress, or even posture.

👩‍⚕️ At Bodyfocus, our osteopaths can:
• Assess how your jaw, neck, and posture are working together
• Use gentle hands-on techniques to ease tension and restore movement
• Provide tailored advice and exercises to reduce everyday strain
Because every person’s situation is unique, we take the time to understand your needs and create a plan that works for you.

👉If jaw discomfort is bothering you, booking an appointment with one of our osteopaths is a great first step toward relief.

Neck Pain? You’re Not Alone.
Ever felt like…
✔️ Your neck is stiff or sore after working at your desk, scrolling on your phone, or just waking up?
✔️ Tension spreads into your shoulders, upper back, or even causes headaches?
✔️Your neck just doesn’t feel “right,” even though there’s no obvious injury?

Neck pain is something most of us experience at some point. Often it eases within a few days, but sometimes it lingers—and that’s where we can help.

What’s behind it?
• Long hours at a desk or screen
• Stress and muscle tension
• “Tech neck” from looking down at devices
• Repetitive or awkward postures

How Bodyfocus Osteopathy Can Help:
We start by listening to you. Your experience guides our care—because no two situations are the same.

Our osteopaths may:
• Gently assess your neck, shoulders, spine, and posture
• Use hands-on techniques aimed at easing muscle tension and supporting natural movement
• Share simple, practical tips—like stretches, posture adjustments, and ergonomic advice
• Consider how your whole body is working together, not just your neck
Why visit us?

You don’t need a diagnosis to book in. If something doesn’t feel right, we’re here to help. Our approach is gentle, thoughtful, and focused on what you need—no pressure, no one-size-fits-all.

👉 If neck discomfort is affecting your daily life—whether it’s turning your head, sitting at your desk, or driving—an osteopathic assessment could be a helpful step.

📆Book an appointment today to explore what might be going on and how you may feel more comfortable moving again.
