Chiropractic Alchemy

Did you know sitting for hours a day can place severe levels of strain on the natural curvature of the spine? That's why it's vital to take mini breaks every 30 minutes or so! If your back starts to feel tight from sitting - completing a few stretches will help to relieve any build-up of pressure and tension on the spine. You can also complete the 3-minute ACA Straighten Up app exercise program! Consisting of a set of simple exercises and taking just three minutes to complete, the Straighten Up app is your perfect 24/7 pocket chiropractor.

Good news!
As of midnight tomorrow we are able to resume routine care.
Remember there may be a wait for appointments so text me to arrange a time

Apologies to those people who have been receiving texts from Total Health Chiropractic.

I have spoken with them and if you have not been in there as a patient you should not receive any more.

If you have been in there but do not want to receive them please opt out.

Just to give you the heads up, from this week you will need to check in with a QR code so please bring your phone with you.

Take a deep breath!
This coming week we are back to seeing only essential visits face to face.
That means if you consider yourself an emergency or are concerned about deterioration of a chronic condition you can attend a consultation.
All other visits will need to be rescheduled.

Let’s hope this passes quickly 🤞

Happy Easter holidays to all

So pleased to be back adjusting tomorrow

YIPPEE 🥳

Don’t know about you, but I had a flash of adrenaline after hearing about the lockdown from midnight tonight.
This time we have been advised that all face to face consultations in private practice must stop until Thursday.
Hold everyone as we go for another ride!

Good morning!
I’ve had an enquiry about starting another meditation group. Anyone interested? Please message me direct on 0402 666 573. 🌺

Thankyou all for your kind words, loving thoughts, cards, flowers and chocolates.
We gave mum a beautiful send off and, after a few days rest, I will be back on deck for adjusting next week.
I do have a long cancellation list because of all the disruption but am happy to take bookings for next year. Please text me if you’d like to do that.
In the meantime, please have a peaceful and joyful holidays with those you care about. 🌟💕🙏

My beautiful mother died last Sunday night.
Thankyou for everyone who has sent love, cards, chocolates and flowers.
I apologise if I miss some texts or calls at the moment. Carmel

We have made it through!
Well done Mornington Peninsula and metropolitan Melbourne.
Let’s get back to it!!

Have just heard today that we will be able to see more than emergencies from Monday 28th September. Woohoo 🥳

Ecopsychology: How Immersion in Nature Benefits Your Health A growing body of research points to the beneficial effects that exposure to the natural world has on health, reducing stress and promoting healing. Now, policymakers, employers, and healthcare providers are increasingly considering the human need for nature in how they plan and operate.

Update - no medical referral necessary but still emergencies only. People have asked me what constitutes an emergency. Think what would keep you out of a hospital emergency department. If that is needed, you are able to travel more than 5km to the appointment.

Stage 4 lockdown and allied health professionals have been told that we can only see people who have been referred by a medical practitioner and are in extreme need. That sounds like emergencies only to me. Please limit you time moving around the community and hopefully we will be back to the ‘new normal’ in 6 weeks.

Hello all. Moving forward from this interesting time, I will continue as we have been - working from home. Please do not come if you have any symptoms, otherwise let’s keep doing all the things that we know improve our health and our bodies and spirits capacity to deal with whatever comes our way.

So simple.....

"When you create a problem, you create pain. All it takes is a simple choice, a simple decision: No matter what happens, I will create no more pain for myself. I will create no more problems." - Eckhart Tolle

A little update from Dr Sarah Reeves.

I have decided to take this time during COVID 19 to be at home with my two girls. Without family around it was imperative that I be at home to under take the role of school teacher. As beautiful as it has been, I can assure you it hasn’t been without its challenges. 😉. As we have just had confirmation of return to school dates, I intend to see out Term 2 and will look at entering back into practice post school holidays.
I am beyond grateful to have had the pleasure in supporting you in your health over the last 4yrs and let’s see what the bright and beautiful future holds. Lots of love ❤️Sarah

There seems to be some confusion about who is where and what is happening. I, Carmel Whelan, am working from home and can be contacted on 0402 666 573. The office space is being taken over by another group of chiropractors and they open this week. I shared your details so that if you went in there you wouldn’t be treated as a new patient and because I cannot accomodate everyone at home. I understand that they are using it for marketing and I am sorry about that. Hope that clears it up.

The practice space has had a thorough Marie Kondo and clean and is getting ready for a complete refurbishment. I am still working from home. Contact - preferably text - me on 0402 666 573 for appointments. I’ll keep you posted about when the space will re open. Love and light Carmel
