Did the earthquake shake your sleep… and your head Did the earthquake shake your sleep… and your head too? 😵‍💫 Sometimes it’s not the event itself, but what it does to your body: poor sleep, stress, muscle tension, and nervous system overload. That’s why headaches can show up after a stressful event. Acupuncture can be a helpful option for some types of headache — especially tension-type headaches and migraine prevention. If your headaches keep coming back, let’s look at the bigger picture. #MelbourneAcupuncture #TensionHeadache #MigraineSupport #melbourneearthquake #acupuncturetherapy

Hypermobility doesn’t always feel loose. In clinic Hypermobility doesn’t always feel loose. In clinic, I often see the opposite — joints move a lot, but the muscles feel constantly tight. So with hamstrings, I don’t focus on pushing for more range. • Slightly bend the knee • Keep the thigh active • Reach through the heel • Create gentle tension through the strap • Stop before the joint starts to take over ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ The goal isn’t “How far can I stretch?” It’s “Can I reduce muscle tension while keeping the joint supported?” Long term: strength and control. Short term: gentle, controlled mobility. #Hypermobility #HamstringTightness #JointStability #MovementEducation #DrEllen
Flexed foot → more stability and connection. Point Flexed foot → more stability and connection. Pointed foot → more length and reach. The goal isn’t to choose one. It’s to keep the hip centred while the leg changes position — through bending, rotation, kickbacks and extension. Find the centre. Create the length. Then move without losing either. Everything connects. #HipStability #pilatessequence #HipMobility #MovementTraining #ReformerPilates
🐾When we walk, our feet are constantly changing po 🐾When we walk, our feet are constantly changing position. As we get older, adapting to those changes can become harder. That’s why I like training hip stability, ankle control and foot position together. The goal is simple: stay stable while the body keeps moving. #Pilates #HipStability #AnkleMobility #FunctionalMovement #HealthyAging
Hypermobility: the key is knowing the difference b Hypermobility: the key is knowing the difference between short-term relief and long-term treatment. In clinic, I often see muscles become overly tight as they work harder to protect unstable joints. Short term: gentle release, acupuncture, massage or physio can help ease the tension. Long term: build strength, control and joint stability. #HSD #hEDS #Hypermobility #JointStability #Acupuncture
When you walk, your weight shifts onto one leg aga When you walk, your weight shifts onto one leg again and again. The goal is better frontal-plane control: Your outer hip controls the pelvis, while your obliques control the trunk. Because in real life, we don’t use muscles in isolation. So we train: side movement → oblique connection → weight shift → single-leg control #HipStability #WeightTransfer #WalkingMechanics #ClinicalPilates #MovementTraining
Every step you take is a weight shift. And when y Every step you take is a weight shift. And when your weight moves onto one leg, your outer hip and obliques have to work together to keep your pelvis and trunk controlled. In real life, we don’t use muscles in isolation. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ So we train side movement → oblique connection → weight shift → single-leg control #HipStability #WeightTransfer #WalkingMechanics #ClinicalPilates #MovementTraining
You are flexible,but why do your muscles feel so t You are flexible,but why do your muscles feel so tight? With hypermobility, the joints may move easily while the surrounding muscles work overtime to create stability. Sometimes the joint reaches end range before the muscle gets enough stretch or load. So I don’t always stretch more. Sometimes I target the tension instead. ☑️Targeted needling can help release deep tension and help the nervous system settle. ❤️So how should you stretch if you’re hypermobile? That’s what I’ll cover in the next reel. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Follow for Part 2. #Hypermobility #MuscleTension #Acupuncture #DryNeedling #ClinicalPilates
