💥DID YOU KNOW?💥
– What Does a Chiropractor Do?

When you hear chiropractor, you might immediately think of a spinal adjustment — but chiropractic care can involve much more than that!

Chiropractors are allied health professionals who assess and manage musculoskeletal conditions, including issues affecting the spine, joints and muscles.

Depending on your individual needs, chiropractic care may include:

Spinal adjustments or joint mobilisation
Soft tissue techniques
Exercise and rehabilitation advice
Movement and posture advice
Education to help you better understand and manage your condition

People commonly see chiropractors for concerns such as back or neck pain, some types of headaches, joint and muscle problems, and sports or workplace injuries.

Dr Jarrod Kalyvas from Port Lincoln Chiro takes a personalised approach to care, supporting people with their individual health goals, including pain management, injury prevention and improving performance.

Dr Jarrod visits Cleve Massage and Wellness Collective monthly, on Tuesdays.

To find out about his next visit or to make an appointment, contact Port Lincoln Chiro on 8683 0899.

Your spine and movement are part of the bigger picture.

🌿Client Question of the Week🌿

“Why do I sometimes feel tired after a massage?”

Sometimes, your body just wants to slow down!

It’s not unusual to feel relaxed, sleepy or a little tired after a massage. During your treatment, your body gets a chance to switch off, muscles can relax, and you may simply notice how much tension or fatigue you’ve been carrying.

You might feel:
Deeply relaxed
Sleepy or ready for a nap
A little “heavy” or tired
Calm and ready for a quieter day

Everyone responds differently to massage, and your experience can also depend on the type of treatment, how your body was feeling beforehand, and how much stress or physical activity you've had recently.

Our tip? If you feel tired after your massage, give yourself permission to take it easy where you can. Stay hydrated, enjoy some gentle movement and listen to what your body is telling you.

And if you're heading back to work after your massage… maybe don't be surprised if your body starts whispering “nap time!”

Have you ever felt super relaxed and sleepy after a massage?

🏃‍♀️ FINISHED THE CLEVE RUNNING FESTIVAL? NOW FOR THE RECOVERY! 🏃‍♂️

What a huge weekend! 🎉 A massive congratulations to everyone who ran, walked, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines or simply got involved. What a fantastic event for our community! 👏

If your legs are feeling a little worse for wear today, don’t panic — you don’t need a massage to help your body recover.

Here are a few simple ways to look after yourself after a big running or walking event:

Keep hydrated
Replace the fluids you lost during the event. Water is a great place to start, especially if you're still feeling thirsty.

Refuel your body
Give your muscles the fuel they need with a meal or snack containing carbohydrates and protein.

Keep gently moving
A short, easy walk or some gentle movement can help prevent you from becoming too stiff. You don't need to jump straight back into exercise!

Prioritise sleep
Your body does some pretty important recovery work while you're sleeping, so give yourself permission to have an early night.

Gentle stretching & mobility
If it feels good, some gentle stretching or mobility work can help you move comfortably. Don't force anything that causes pain.

Listen to your body
A little muscle soreness can be normal after a big effort, but sharp, severe or persistent pain is a different story. Give your body time to recover and seek professional advice if you're concerned.

And remember… recovery isn't just something you do when you're sore — it's part of looking after your body after every big effort.

Now put those feet up, enjoy a well-earned rest and be proud of what you achieved! 🏃‍♀️👏

🏃‍♀️💨 READY, SET, RUN! 💨🏃‍♂️

DID YOU KNOW?
– What does an Osteopath actually do?

Osteopathy is a form of allied healthcare that looks at the muscles, joints, bones, nerves and other tissues that work together to help your body move and function.

An osteopath takes a whole-body approach, assessing how different parts of the body may be contributing to pain, stiffness, injury or movement concerns.

Treatment may include hands-on techniques such as:
✨ Soft tissue techniques
✨ Joint mobilisation or manipulation
✨ Stretching
✨ Movement and exercise advice
✨ Postural and lifestyle advice

The aim is to help you better understand your body, manage your symptoms and support movement and function.

👩‍⚕️ Dr Alex Cronin is a university-qualified osteopath with a Master's of Osteopathic Medicine and uses a combination of osteopathy, exercise and hands-on techniques in her approach to care.

📍 Alex is a visiting practitioner at Cleve Massage and Wellness Collective.
