Have you ever wondered, “Does hypnotherapy really work?” While some picture swinging watches or stage tricks, modern hypnotherapy is far from entertainment. Backed by neuroscience and clinical research, hypnotherapy works by tapping into the subconscious mind to rewire limiting beliefs, ease stress, reduce pain, and break unwanted habits. At Neurohealth Wellness in Allambie Heights, we combine evidence-based techniques with compassionate care to help you unlock the power of your mind for lasting change.

It’s natural to feel worried when a scan report lists findings like “disc degeneration” or “rotator cuff tear.” Many patients who come to Neurohealth Wellness in Allambie Heights are anxious after reading these words. But the truth is, scans often reveal changes that are common in people who have no symptoms at all. Recent research shows that structural variations picked up on MRI or CT are frequently just part of normal ageing, rather than a sign of disease.

We’ve all heard people say they’re more “left-brained” or “right-brained”—logical and structured, or creative and intuitive. But the truth is, your brain works best when both hemispheres are balanced and communicating. At Neurohealth Wellness in Allambie Heights, we combine cutting-edge brain science, Dr. Robert Melillo’s groundbreaking concepts, and holistic therapies to help Northern Beaches locals restore balance, reduce stress, and unlock their full potential.

Simple changes to your sleep position can ease back pain, improve breathing, and even prevent morning foot pain. Here’s what science says about the best sleeping postures for pain-free rest.

Most of us grew up learning the basics of health in school—eat your veggies, exercise, brush your teeth—but what if the most powerful truths about your body were never mentioned? At Neurohealth Wellness, we believe real health education should empower you to live pain-free, full of energy, and resilient against stress. That’s why we’re sharing 10 surprising, science-backed health facts that you were probably never taught, but that can transform the way you think about your body, your brain, and your overall wellbeing.

From the moment your baby takes their first breath, their body is already working through an incredible blueprint of growth and development. Every roll, wiggle, crawl, and step builds the foundation for future strength, balance, and even brain development. Yet in today’s world, many well-meaning parents unintentionally interrupt this natural process with devices like walkers, jumpers, and seats that promise faster milestones. The truth is, babies don’t need help to move—they already come wired with the knowledge to build themselves from the ground up. At Neurohealth Wellness on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, we see firsthand how letting babies lead their own movement journey creates stronger bodies, healthier spines, and smarter, more confident kids. In this blog, we’ll explore why skipping infant devices is one of the best choices you can make for your child’s development, and how you can create the perfect environment for them to thrive.

Do you often feel tired, wired, or stuck in “go-mode”? Chronic stress can keep your body locked in overdrive, leading to fatigue, poor digestion, and mood swings. But there’s a way to shift gears. By supporting your parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s natural “rest and digest” mode—you can enhance recovery, calm your mind, and restore balance. In this guide, we’ll explore what the parasympathetic system does, why it matters, and the everyday practices that help strengthen it naturally.
