24.01.2022 You might be nervous about the popping or cracking sound youll often hear during an adjustment, but dont fear, you will generally feel little to no pain during adjustments or joint manipulations! In fact, most patients will feel immediate pain relief afterwards That little sound that scares you away is believed to be the result of gas bubbles from your joints being released interesting, isnt it!

23.01.2022 IMPORTANT UPDATE Hoping you all had a great few weeks during the festive holidays to sit back, reflect and let the body settle for the upcoming new year! Now its time to get back on that grind. With that being said, this post is to inform you all on my new location and working timetable for Athletica Function Chiropractic. Feel free to contact me for any enquires or bookings. I look forward to working with you all this year - Antoine #chiropractic #chiropractor #chiro #adjustment #stretching #mobility #flexibility #posture #strength #muscle #gym #weights #bootcamp #crossfit #powerlifting #strengthandconditioning #timetable #2020 #smile #happiness #sydney #monday #physicaltherapy #newyear @ Sydney, Australia

23.01.2022 The advantage of being both a chiropractor and a coach is the observational knowledge gained whilst analysing how injuries are caused on the gym floor and how they need to be treated in the clinic This is a great asset because most of the time, a patients recollection of an injury or complaint isnt always accurate A big factor that comes into play is poor technique when training As a coach, Im always watching and ensuring my clients are using good technique as it not only promotes high performance, but it also reduces the risk of injury, minimising the likelihood of muscle tears, sprains, strains and joint damage

23.01.2022 A little snippet of last weekends CrossFit comp

22.01.2022 Are you feeling bad posture creeping up on you as you work away at home? Heres a quick neck and shoulder stretch to get you through the day Rotate your head to the opposite side of where youre feeling neck/shoulder tightness Bend your head forward towards the same side knee (if youre rotating to the right, bend your head towards the direction of your right knee)... You can further increase the stretch by placing your hand behind your head If youre after any other home stretches or tips, let us know in the comments below See more

21.01.2022 Keeping your joints active means youre keeping them mobile and flexible Through regular adjustments, chiropractic can help loosen up joints. What does that mean exactly? Were taking the pain and inflammation away which would usually cause muscles to tighten in a specific area Restoring and implementing rehab exercises to improve your range of motion will mean youll be doing flips in no time

21.01.2022 To all my family and friends, far and near, have a blessed Merry Christmas #chiropractic #christmas #festive #festiveseason #health #wellness #healthylife #snow #lifestyle #jesus #hesthereasonfortheseason #sydney #sydneybusiness #chiropractorsydney #mary #nativity #christ #christisborn #strength #strong #rehab #fitness #church #physiotherapy #chiroworkout #food

21.01.2022 A question Ive heard one too many times! Chiropractic treatment is mainly used as a pain relief substitute for muscles, bones, joints and connective tissues Here are some ways it helps ease pain: Restoring spinal biomechanics Encouraging regular joint movement... Correcting dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system Reducing muscle spasms See more

21.01.2022 Counting down the days until gym doors are back open It might feel a little like were back to day 1 and were starting all over again but Im looking forward to it Whats the first exercise youre going to do when you go back to the gym?

20.01.2022 The long weekend is finally here Dont forget to keep your body moving and continue with your at-home rehab exercises. Well be back in the clinic on Tuesday ready to take on all your niggles

20.01.2022 Fun fact Lunges not only help strengthen your lower body but also increase your core strength and muscle tissue A stronger core not only relieves lower back pain but it also improves balance and posture

20.01.2022 What muscle do you fear or hate getting treated the most? Most of our clients fear goes away after the first treatment because it really doesnt hurt at all! Clients usually feel like a weight has been removed We can say that youll probably be in a fit of laughter

19.01.2022 That feeling you get when that one adjustment hits the spot and gives you the most relief Whats your favourite adjustment?

18.01.2022 Its MYTHBUSTING TIME! While chiropractic science is focused on spinal manipulation (also known as adjustment) chiropractors also have an in-depth understanding of how the spine and related structures, including soft tissue, are intrinsically connected to the bodys function. In addition to spinal manipulation or adjustment, chiropractors also treat patients through:... mobilisation, which is the gentle movement of the joint to increase its range of motion strengthening and conditioning exercises application of therapeutic modalities including heat/ice, electrotherapies, and various taping techniques as required by patients therapeutic stretching and massage activity and lifestyle modification advice adjustment of other joints around the body, including ankles, shoulders, wrists, elbows.

18.01.2022 Happy Easter from Athletica Function Chiropractic Wishing all our clients a very blessed day celebrating with your loved ones

17.01.2022 So the last time I asked what the first exercise youll be doing when the gym reopens is - now for some more fun What movement are you DREADING (other than burpees for once ) to do the most when the gym reopens? I know what mine is

17.01.2022 A lot of us avoid the aches and pains we feel because we dont have time to deal with them This eventually catches up to all of us and can take a toll on the mind Chiropractic care is proven to help give your mood a boost and better yet decrease the pain youve been feeling for so long. Many patients feel better both physically and mentally after a chiropractic adjustment

16.01.2022 Most adults require 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night to really rejuvenate for the next day ahead Poor quality of sleep can affect your work or academic performance, reduce positivity levels and can even increase the risk of health issues Is your sore back, headache or neck pain keeping you up at night as youre continuously tossing and turning? There are multiple chiropractic solutions to promote a better nights sleep: Spinal adjustments to improve blood flow... Correcting misalignments to release tension Correcting sleep positions Therapeutic massage or trigger point therapy to relieve stress All of this sounds too familiar? Its time to pay your chiropractor a visit See more

16.01.2022 Rehab and high-intensity training lie on either end of the spectrum we call FITNESS I define rehab as a less intense version of any other form of training a client may already be doing. Although, the intent is different Rehab focuses on slow and controlled movements, aimed at healing and strengthening an injured site, rather than the intent to improve performance Once pain decreases, range of motion improves and strength increases. Rehab will eventually be more sport specific and the person may be cleared to continue their normal training duties

13.01.2022 One of the best things you can do for your body is to MOVE Movement can cause so many positive changes to your body. It decreases the risk of developing so many chronic diseases and boosts your mental health too How have you moved your body today?

11.01.2022 Majority of our community is working from home, which means for most, sitting on a chair thats not ergonomic This not only leads to poor posture, but is a prominent cause of back and neck pain Here are some tips to improve your posture while at home: Eyes should be level with the top of your screen Shoulders should be relaxed and low... Feet should be flat on the floor Straighten up your upper back and dont slouch! Remember, its important to keep active If you typically move around a lot at work, build that into your day by standing up, going for a walk or even stretching

10.01.2022 First CrossFit comp of the year ticked off Over the weekend, I got to compete at the @capitalfitnesschallenge with my old man Jedo @paulo_salsinha representing @stepup_pt Couldnt have asked for a better partner to smash through 8 tough events with, in the advanced category We just came shy of a podium finish, ending up in 4th place I learnt new things about myself, found new strengths and weaknesses and took away a bunch of great memories. A big thank you to my other training partner @tonisass_ for always having my back and also the rest of the StepUp fam for your ongoing support

09.01.2022 FUN FACT I am a strength and conditioning coach at @stepup_pt I have always had a passion for fitness as its the core of where wellness begins. Coaching at StepUp has given me an array of knowledge that has helped me become a better chiropractor I have put my profession of studying movement and injury into practice by ensuring my clients optimise their performance and receive the right rehab they need to get back to where they were with their training. StepUp has not only given me the opportunity to put my two passions together, but it has also allowed me to progress in my chiropractic career

07.01.2022 What do you find the most difficult when in an overhead position Is it the struggle to lock out your shoulders and elbows Is it pain or tightness These are common features in many beginner lifting sports such as CrossFit and weight lifting Failure to lock out your arms in an overhead position may be due to: Restricted mid-back/thoracic extension... Tightness in the shoulders, pecs and/or lats Overcompensation in a movement to avoid pain (e.g. in the wrist, shoulder or neck) Having a specialist clinician or a personal trainer identify the weak link in any movement is an important part of improved performance Dont ignore these and limit yourself in progressing and getting better at your sport

06.01.2022 Sitting around all day and working from home can make you feel sluggish, sore and tight Its so important to take regular breaks, walk around, and stretch There are so many simple and quick stretches you can do from home to give you that little energy boost and increase your productivity Whether its a quad stretch, standing side stretch or even a back twist these little movements can prevent cramps, aches and pains that you could start to feel later on
