25.01.2022 Child’s Pose This classic yoga pose has psychological benefits as well as physical benefits. To do child’s pose, kneel on the ground, and then bend forward until your face is resting gently on the floor. Reach your arms forward in front of you. This pose is good for stretching the lower back, hips, shoulders and chest. Child’s pose is also relaxing and meditative. We recommend doing child’s pose at the end of a long day, before you go to bed. You can hold this pose for a minute, or longer if you’re comfortable.
24.01.2022 7 Benefits of Magnesium 1. Magnesium prepares your body for sleep by relaxing your muscles. 2. Magnesium plays an important role in regulating your blood pressure. It relaxes smooth muscle cells, meaning those in your veins and arteries, so they don’t constrict the flow of blood.... 3. Did you know that it’s impossible to digest food without magnesium? A deficiency contributes to your digestive trouble. 4. Magnesium is important to prevent bone loss. Research shows that people who get higher amounts of magnesium in their food and supplements have a higher bone mineral density. 5. A daily dose of 600 mg of magnesium has been shown to assist in the management and symptomatic relief of fibromyalgia, including symptoms such as pain and tenderness. 6. Muscle relaxation, cramps and spasm relief: Two mechanisms by which magnesium may induce muscle relaxation are; a suppression of the excitability of the muscle fibre membrane via acetyl choline inhibition and transportation of calcium out of the muscle fibre to inhibit muscle contraction and allow relaxation. 7. Migraines: Magnesium supplementation at a dose of 600 mg per day has been clinically shown to significantly decrease migraine frequency by 41.6% #chiropractic #chiropractor #wellness #health #chiropracticadjustment #backpain #getadjusted #chiro #chiropracticcare #physicaltherapy #chiropracticworks #adjustment #neckpain #spine #massage #healthylifestyle #fitness #chiropractors #rehab #massagetherapy #acupuncture #lowbackpain #painrelief #chiropracticlifestyle #chiropractichealth #subluxation #necktraction #posture #magnesium
24.01.2022 SHOULDER INJURIES There are many things that cause shoulder pain, but did you know that it can commonly come from the spine? While there are a variety of causes for shoulder pain, it is not uncommon for it to be traced back to the spine. This is because shoulder pain can be referred pain or from the shoulder itself.... The nerves in the upper back and neck can become irritated which can then cause referred pain into the shoulders, arms and other areas. Referred pain from may be coming from other areas such as: * Spinal joint restrictions * Neck problems * Mid-back problems * Shoulder blade problems * Organ problems (such as liver and gallbladder) Other causes of shoulder pain originating from around the shoulder include: * Rotator cuff (shoulder muscle and tendon) disorders * Rotator cuff tendinitis or bursitis * Rotator cuff tear * Shoulder Impingements * Frozen shoulder * Calcific tendonitis * Shoulder instabilities * Shoulder dislocations * Labral tears * Shoulder arthritis As each shoulder case is unique and there are many causes of shoulder pain, we perform a thorough examination before we diagnose/identify the cause. Chiropractors can treat a range of shoulder conditions by incorporating a range of different techniques.
18.01.2022 Hip flexors The hip flexors are the muscles that attach to the front of the hip and are involved in bringing your knee up towards your chest. They stabilise the lumbar spine and pelvis. Hip flexor issues are common due to our modern lifestyles demanding so much time spent sitting and bending forward which can shorten these muscles. People who are most likely to suffer from hip flexor issues are people who: have to sit for long periods of time... people in jobs requiring a lot of bending and twisting runners and cyclists as well as hockey, cricket and tennis players have a shorter leg or are out of alignment through their pelvis One way to stretch your hip flexors: From a kneeling position place the left knee on the floor directly under the left hip, and place the right foot in front of the right hip so that the right knee is directly over the right ankle and the right hip is in a position of 90 degrees. Place both hands gently on the right thigh to help maintain a straight, tall spine. Lean forward into your right hip while keeping your left knee pressed into the ground, do not allow your pelvis to rotate forward To increase the stretch to the left hip flexors, squeeze and contract the glute muscles of your left hip. Hold for 30-45 seconds and repeat 2-5 times per side. ** To increase the intensity of the stretch raise the left arm straight in the air and tilt slightly to the right side and you lean forward into the right hip. Chiropractic adjustments to align the pelvis as well as releasing the hip flexors are super helpful! Most of our treatments involved both of these things! Who may need their hip flexors released? #chiropractic #chiropractor #wellness #health #chiropracticadjustment #backpain #getadjusted #chiro #chiropracticcare #physicaltherapy #chiropracticworks #adjustment #neckpain #spine #massage #healthylifestyle #fitness #chiropractors #rehab #massagetherapy #acupuncture #lowbackpain #painrelief #chiropracticlifestyle #chiropractichealth #hipflexorstretch #necktraction #posture #hipflexor
18.01.2022 CRANIALS Part II What causes cranial misalignments? The most likely cause of cranial misalignment is trauma from falls, accidents or sports, minor head injuries from falls, bumps and jars from childhood, difficult birth (including the use of forceps and vacuum extraction) or even prenatal stress.... Helping cranial misalignments The cranial corrections we use incorporate light and precise pressure, using either an adjusting instrument or our hands to release cranial misalignments. These corrections are a quick and gentle procedure that patients of all ages (from infants to elderly) find comfortable. These corrections remove pressure on the brain, spinal cord and the nervous system, resulting in a healthier person, both physically and emotionally. Other factors including dehydration, ongoing emotional stress, nutritional deficiencies and ongoing toxic factors can contribute to cranial misalignment. . . . #physicaltherapy #fitness #chiropractor #health #posture #pregnancy #pediatricchiropractic #wellness #sportsmassage #healing #chiropraktik #backpain #osteopathy #chiropracticadjustment #neckpain #quiropractica #physicaltherapist #yoga #massage #cranials #massagetherapy #chiro #lowbackpain #massagetherapist #sportsinjury #physiotherapist #spine #physiotherapy #movement #injuryprevention

13.01.2022 Migraine is more prevalent in woman during their reproductive years. Fluctuations of oestrogen during a woman’s monthly cycle can be a trigger for a migraine e...pisode. Chiropractic care can help alleviate muscle aches and joint tension which can also contribute to a migraine episode.

Symptoms of pelvic imbalance may include:... * General low back ache * Increased pain when walking * Pain after standing for long periods * Pain referring into hips and buttocks * Sciatica There are a number of ways in which chiropractic can help to improve imbalance in the pelvis. . . . . #physicaltherapy #fitness #chiropractor #health #posture #pregnancy #pediatricchiropractic #wellness #sportsmassage #healing #pelvis #backpain #osteopathy #chiropracticadjustment #neckpain #pelvicimbalance #physicaltherapist #yoga #massage #physio #massagetherapy #chiro #lowbackpain #massagetherapist #sportsinjury #physiotherapist #spine #physiotherapy #movement

It can also help with herniated disks as well as helping to alleviate pain from joints, sprains, and spasms. It’s also used to treat neck injuries, pinched nerves, and cervical spondylosis. #chiropractic #chiropractor #wellness #health #chiropracticadjustment #backpain #getadjusted #chiro #chiropracticcare #physicaltherapy #chiropracticworks #adjustment #neckpain #spine #massage #healthylifestyle #fitness #chiropractors #rehab #massagetherapy #acupuncture #lowbackpain #painrelief #chiropracticlifestyle #chiropractichealth #subluxation #necktraction #posture #bhfyp @ Lugarno, New South Wales

07.01.2022 What is Gua Sha? Gua sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. It is an ancient Chinese healing technique which involves short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow. Gua sha may reduce inflammation, so it’s often used to treat conditions that cause chronic pain, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. ... At our clinic we use gua sha for certain conditions where inflammation is a factor. It is not supposed to be painful, but the procedure may change the appearance of your skin causing redness and bruising. Bruising usually disappears within a couple of days. If you’d like to try gua sha call us on 0430166194 or DM us if you’d like to know more about how gua sha may help you @ Lugarno, New South Wales
06.01.2022 CRANIALS PART 1 Our skulls are made up of many bones Our skull is not one single bone, but is made up of many bones. Our skull consists of 8 cranial bones protecting the brain and 14 facial bones.... Our cranial bones do not fuse but remain distinct and separate throughout our lives. Each bone has its distinct movement. The spaces between the bones are called sutures and are filled with connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels. Proper movement of the cranial bones is essential for health. A wealth of clinical research confirms that if our cranial bones are out of their proper position, physical and mental health suffer. Our next few posts will continue on with more information on our cranial bones. . . . . . #physicaltherapy #fitness #chiropractor #health #posture #pregnancy #pediatricchiropractic #wellness #sportsmassage #healing #chiropraktik #backpain #osteopathy #chiropracticadjustment #neckpain #cranial #physicaltherapist #yoga #massage #physio #massagetherapy #chiro #lowbackpain #massagetherapist #sportsinjury #cranials #spine #physiotherapy #movement

06.01.2022 Here are some neck stretches you can try next time you may be feeling any tightness in your neck. @ Lugarno, New South Wales
05.01.2022 Jaw tightness - TMJ dysfunction Who doesn’t love a jaw release!? It’s definitely a love-hate relationship when having your jaw release. It can be tender but it feels sooo much more relaxed afterwards! The TMJ (jaw) is the most used joint of the human body. Signs that you may be suffering from TMJ dysfunction include:... muscle tightness around the face and jaw difficulty opening and closing the mouth headaches ear pain neck pain and stiffness vertigo and dizziness jaw clicking or popping when opening difficulty talking and chewing tinnitus (ringing in the ears) The causes of jaw pain may include trauma, whiplash, dental procedures, teeth grinding, arthritis, stress, jaw and neck misalignment, dislocation and muscle tightness. When someone comes in complaining of jaw pain we focus on releasing the muscles around the jaw (masseter, the temporalis, and the pterygoid) as well as the suboccipital muscles (where your neck attaches onto your skull). The best way to release the pterygoid muscles is by using a glove and releasing from inside your mouth (pictured above). We also asses the jaw joint itself and check if there’s any alignment issues as well as checking the upper neck as these joints can greatly impact the jaw. #chiropractic #chiropractor #wellness #health #chiropracticadjustment #backpain #getadjusted #chiro #chiropracticcare #physicaltherapy #chiropracticworks #adjustment #neckpain #spine #tmj #healthylifestyle #fitness #chiropractors #rehab #massagetherapy #acupuncture #lowbackpain #painrelief #chiropracticlifestyle #chiropractichealth #subluxation #necktraction #posture #jaw

01.01.2022 Sciatic Nerve Flossing Your sciatic nerve is the main nerve that runs from your lower spine and down each leg. Sciatica happens when the roots of your sciatic nerve are compressed. Sciatica can cause: * numbness... * tingling * weakness * radiating pain in your lower back, buttocks, legs, and feet Research shows that combining nerve flossing with traditional physical therapy can effectively reduce sciatic pain. Sciatic nerve flossing is a common exercise for nerve sciatic nerve irritation. Perform this exercise by: * Laying on your back and bringing your knee of your affected side to 90 degrees. * Hold your foot flexed while you bend and straighten your knee as much as possible without eliciting pain or other symptoms. * Repeat 15 times slowly and smoothly with no holds. Repeat 2-5 times per day. * Nerve flossing shouldn’t be painful. If you start to feel pain, stop. #chiropractic #chiropractor #wellness #health #chiropracticadjustment #backpain #getadjusted #chiro #chiropracticcare #physicaltherapy #chiropracticworks #adjustment #neckpain #spine #massage #healthylifestyle #fitness #chiropractors #rehab #massagetherapy #acupuncture #lowbackpain #painrelief #chiropracticlifestyle #chiropractichealth #subluxation #sciatica #posture #bhfyp
