In a rather unfortunate turn of events, one of our directors, Ali, can no longer make it to tonight's semi-final.

He's gutted. But his loss might just be your gain! 😅

Rather than let two perfectly good tickets go to waste, we thought we'd pass them on to someone in our awesome community.

🏉 Be the first person to correctly answer our trivia question in the comments.

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮: What year did Northland Rugby first win the Ranfurly Shield?

A couple of little rules:

* Please only enter if you and a plus one can actually make it to tonight's game.
* These tickets are for someone to enjoy, not to resell. Don't be that person. 🙃

And a massive shout-out to the lovely Ange at Snap Fitness for hooking us up with these tickets in the first place! We're so gutted we can't make it, but hopefully someone else gets to have a brilliant night out.

Good luck! 🏉

📚 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮̄𝗿𝗲𝗶 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀! Our little Lilliput Library outside Haerenga Hauora is getting a bit bare, and we're hoping our lovely community might be able to help us fill it back up!

We stocked it with all the books generously donated earlier in the year, but they've been making their way into new hands faster than we can replace them. Which is exactly what we wanted! 🥹

So, have you got a few books sitting on your shelves that you're ready to part with? Or maybe you've just finished a really good read that deserves to be shared?

We'd love to help you give them a new home! 📖

𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲, as they've been flying off the shelves. Clearly we've got some keen little readers in the neighbourhood!

📍𝟭𝟰𝟬 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁, 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 You can drop books directly into our Lilliput Library outside 140 Bank Street, Regent, Whangārei.

𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲? You're welcome to leave them with reception instead. Our director, Rach, will organise them and pop them into the library on rotation so there's always something new to discover.

Take a book, leave a book, swap a book. No cost, no fuss, just a little community sharing the joy of reading. Because reading is cool, and good stories deserve to be passed around. 🤎

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 ‘𝘀𝗵𝗲’𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁’ 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟯 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀... It started as a bit of a niggle. Nothing worth making a fuss about 🙊

Three months later, you're putting your jacket on one arm at a time, avoiding certain movements and waking up every time you roll onto that shoulder.

Sound familiar?

It's surprisingly easy to get used to working around shoulder pain, especially when it comes on gradually.

Our osteopaths can assess your shoulder, look at what's contributing to the pain and help you work out what to do next. We also offer shockwave therapy, which may be suitable for certain tendon-related shoulder conditions following an assessment.

So if you've been telling yourself it'll come right for the last few months, perhaps it's time to get it looked at.

We spent a morning following Shyanne around our Bank Street clinic, and thought we'd bring you along too.

From getting her room ready and cleansing the space to seeing clients and finishing with karakia, there's a lot of care that goes into her mahi, including the bits you don't normally see.

Shyanne offers both mirimiri and massage, giving clients different ways to look after their hauora depending on what they're after.

If you've been curious about mirimiri, or just wanted to get to know Shyanne a little better, here's a peek behind the scenes.

You'll find her at Bank Street on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Not everyone wants the same thing when it comes to looking after their hauora, and that's kind of the point of having different approaches to care under one roof.

Shyanne offers both mirimiri and massage at our Bank Street clinic, each with its own approach.

Her mirimiri practice is grounded in mātauranga Māori and tikanga, making space for the different parts of your hauora, including your tinana, hinengāro (mind) and wairua (spirit). Her massage appointments offer another option for those wanting hands-on care, whether that's to ease some tension or simply have a bit of time to themselves.

And if you're not sure which one to book, that's okay too. Shyanne is always happy to have a kōrero (chat) about what each involves and what might suit you at the start of your appointment.

You'll find her at our Bank Street clinic on Mondays, Thursdays & Saturdays.

One of our smaller visitors recently hopped on the treatment table with Roger for some work through his hip & leg - and apparently the experience met his very rigorous toddler standards 😂

Appointments with kids can look a little different to appointments with adults. Sometimes that means adapting what you're doing, working around wriggles and conversation, and generally meeting them where they're at on the day.

Roger Bull is one of our osteopaths here at Bank Street and has plenty of experience working with people at different ages and stages of life.

He's in clinic every Tuesday for both ACC and private osteopathy appointments.

One of the things you don't necessarily see when you come in for an appointment is how much learning happens outside the treatment room.

Our practitioners regularly spend time sharing techniques, talking through different approaches and learning alongside each other - and sometimes our friends from other local clinics too.

Recently our osteopath Roger, and Tessa, an osteopath from just down the road, had both been completed some interesting professional development. So we all got around the treatment table to learn from them, try things out, and take turns pretending to be the patient 😅

For us, this is one way we do kotahitanga in practice; different practitioners bring different knowledge and experience to the table, and there’s always something we can learn from each other and share with one another too.

Plus, the mean feed afterwards always helps 😋🍴

If you’re looking for an osteopath here in Whangārei, our team offers ACC and private appointments Monday–Saturday from our Bank Street clinic, and Saturdays up at Maunu.
