Welcome to the Osteo Fitness Collective



Stop living in pain. Stop your suffering. Take control of your body. Here at the osteo fitness collective, we've made it our mission to provide you with a pathway out of pain, disability and discomfort. 

Is arthritic pain holding you back? Perhaps you are worried about exercising with osteoporosis? Is your ankle injury stopping you from competing? Or perhaps your bad back is stopping you from playing with your grandchildren?

Posture : Pain management : Inspiration : Rehabilitation : Technique 

It's what we do!

We believe that you don't need to be in pain, and that employing the fundemental princples of fitness and training you can take control over your body and regain the strength, power and energy you once knew.

The OFC is a place that combines knowledge and ideas, people and passion for everyone and anyone interested in health, fitness, exercise and self improvement.

Our articles and video guides use plain speaking, straight forward language and demonstrations to educate and inspire. 

Mobilizing, strengthening, stretching and stabilizing

Your path to recovery lies in the utilization of the four proven components. At the OFC we like to call them the four pillars - effective building of these four pillars are enough to restore proper function and proper structure. If your body's structure is in harmony, it will function well. This is the fundamental principle of dealing with your discomfort: The algorithm for dealing with mechanical pain. This is how you are going to fix your pain.

The OFC Algorithim

MSSS = Structure = function = :-)

Translated that means: -

Mobility + Stability + Strength + Stretch = Good structure

Good structure = Good function

and... Good function = A healthy, pain free body.

It's as simple as that!

Need advice on correcting your posture?

A large part of what we do is about making sure that every aspect of the body is working optimally, functioning correctly and in balance and harmony with everything around it.

Essentially what we do is remove the restrictions to living freely, with energy and without pain. Correcting your posture is a large part of this process. Understanding how you posture affects your pain, physiology and even your mood is important when looking at how disease and poor health affect the body.

The first step when looking at someone's posture therefore is always awareness. If you can't recognise how your health or condition is being adversely affected by posture then progress will definately be tough. Being examined by a professional and looking at yourself and how you live your life are two great steps forward. We've created a large section of this website to address how posture affects you and what you can do about it especially regarding postural awareness, exercises for correcting posture and how a manual therapist might be able to help you.

And that's it! What are you waiting for, let the osteo fitness collective show you the path to a better life.
