You may not think that TikTok is where your average chiropractor hangs out. But Dr Cody Hanish is not your average chiropractor. The Sydney based practitioner and founder of Combined Clinics in Sydney’s Darlinghurst has a whopping 2.2M followers on the social channel - and all thanks to his somewhat mesmerising videos of joint cracking - or ‘adjustments’ as he calls them.  If you’re suffering from an aching back, or stiff shoulders, he’s also got some very doable ways to stay agile and pain-free while working from home.  You can find Dr Hanish in Instagram and TikTok at @drcody_dc You can join the conversation, or drop us a question, via the Healthy-ish Australia Facebook page, here.

Elsa Pataky may be known in Australia as the wife of national treasure/our greatest export, actor Chris Hemsworth. But she’s actually more famous than her Thor-star husband in her home country of Spain. And we think the more that Australian gets to know this horseback-riding, yoga-loving mum of three, the more we’ll think of Chris as ‘Elsa Pataky’s husband’.   We caught up with Elsa on set for her Body+Soul cover shoot in Byron Bay’s hinterland, and she was surprisingly candid about the chaos of motherhood, the realities of ageing, what self-care means to her now, and what the silver linings of COVID have been for herself, Chris, and her family.   You can find Elsa on Instagram at @elsapatakyconfidential   You can read the full cover story over at Body+Soul here.   You can join the conversation, or drop us a question, via the Healthy-ish Australia Facebook page, here.   If you’re up for funny memes and health insp follow Body+Soul on Instagram at @bodyandsoul_au   Or, head to bodyandsoul.com.au for your daily digital dose of health and wellness.
