23.01.2022 It’s plastic free July!!! At The Sanctuary we ran a month of how to go plastic free in Feb so I will repost some post from then. We are still all working to spr...ead this knowledge and lead by example, EVERY MONTH! The posts that I will share are on plastic education and how to decrease the use of plastic in everyday life! So.... What does biodegradable plastic/items mean?A heap of products state that they are biodegradable... Well, do you know the difference between your plastics? It’s buyer beware, even for so called eco-friendly products! Be careful of the word biodegradable. Unfortunately it’s being used now to mislead consumers - all it means is that it breaks up faster into micro plastics - it doesn’t mean it breaks down. COMPOSTABLE is the best as it is made from natural materials and can break back down into organic components. For some products compostable is still only possible in a commercial setting (eg over 50C) so it’s best not to throw it in your backyard heap. So look out for what you purchase and ask yourself, do I need this or is there another solution not involving plastic at all?

23.01.2022 Our asana (poses and movements) practice is a great start to get to know ourselves. The body has ancient wisdom and if we in our asana and meditation take time... to feel, listen to it, make an effort to understand its wonderful messages and wisdom it will open doors towards better health, mental health, a happy heart, more joy and compassion. This is why we practice asana. To listen. It’s wonderful. Enjoy your practice everyone!

22.01.2022 Great post by @dr.nick.dpt! PEOPLE SQUAT DIFFERENTLY Looking an normal anatomic variance, how can we possibly think that every human will squat exactly the... same . I think it's good to know and understand some general guidelines when assessing the squat. Things I like to look at include weight distribution, hip hinge, bar path (if loaded squat), and general symmetry with the movement. However, the golden question is: is this variation normal (i.e anatomic), is it learned (motor control/strength/etc) can I improve it, and do I need to? That's a loaded question(s). One that I can't fully address in just an instagram post because as the saying goes "it depends." But it's a line of thinking that I would recommend we ask ourselves as movement professionals instead of dogmatically saying things like "knees can't go past toes/feet have to be shoulder width/butt wink will kill you" etc. I think we (and I for that matter) can do better. --- That said, in the picture you'll see a few different things. (Shout out to the man Ryan @themovementfix for the inspiration) The femur (thigh bone) has an articulation point with the acetabulum (hip socket). The head of the femur can vary widely anatomically, both in size and in angulation (such as femoral anteversion and retroversion) If someone has excessive anteversion of the femur, what squat stance would they likely be most comfortable with? The depth of the socket is also important, as is the direction the socket is facing. Observe the depth difference in the left vs right. Which one do you think is better for a narrow stance squat? The femoral neck angle may also change throughout life, and varies widely with gender and ethnicity. --- Take home message: Humans move differently. Not only do people vary anatomically from person to person, but there can also be variation in individual laterality. Also note, this is not a comprehensive list of all the reasons why people squat differently. Do you also want to stay up to date? The best way to do that us to learn from the best teachers in the world, all on one platform. The Netflix for physiotherapists: Trust me-ED. Www.trustme-Ed.com

21.01.2022 A reminder about the film on Hatha yoga on 19 March at Hoyts Erina... at least 15 more tickets need to be sold for the screening to take place - so make sure yo...u get yours by this Friday!

21.01.2022 Is running giving you knee pain? More than likely it's how you're doing it. Make sure your hips and ankles are working with your knees rather than against them. And once you know what's needed nothing beats the Pilates Reformer for developing great dynamic control

21.01.2022 To our Central Coast Sanctuary community! We are collecting warm clothing, blankets, sleeping bags ( anything warm!) to give to SoupDaddy (SoupDaddy is this ama...zing man who is every Wednesday serving soup in Kibble Park Gosford to the homeless). Please drop off any clothing/blankets at reception at The Sanctuary and we will make sure Soupdaddy receives it to hand out to those in need. Mysan x

17.01.2022 I practice in the orthopaedic world. I use this scale very, very frequently. I'm not sure it is necessarily perfect, even though it is a universal measurement. ...I believe it is difficult for patients to think of a whole 24 hours and rate their pain experience on average. It's the "average" part that probably isn't helpful. I tend to ask best and worst versus average. And then I like to follow up with when it was best and worst and what the person was doing. How do you use the scale? See more

17.01.2022 Spot the difference. Doesn't look like much but to a trained eye there's actually a lot. And this may be the difference between getting better or getting worse. To get right you need to get it right.

15.01.2022 This is a great video made by FXNL Media where Bahram Jam PT explains how common "abnormalities" seen on an MRI are! :) How we communicate those abnormalities t...o our patients is very important. Are the X-ray and MRI results helpful or harmful? Sometimes it can be very useful to have an MRI or X-ray, when you suspect a fracture, cauda equina syndrome, malignancies and other red flags. Most of the time, the "abnormalities", seen on an MRI and X-ray are just normal changes. We have grey hair and wrinkles on the outside... those changes we see also on the inside. Good to know, and very good to explain your patient this! :) You can watch the full video and podcast here btw: http://www.fxnlmedia.com//are-your-xray-and-mri-results-h/

15.01.2022 We are excited to get behind this great cause and support our Team member Josh in this incredible initiative. Together We are Strong It Ain’t Weak To Speak... Suicide....... It’s a word that unfortunately is becoming used too often these days. The Suicide rate in Australia from 2013-2017 on average was 2918 deaths per year, A devastating number that is only increasing year by year. It’s a number that we believe can be drastically lowered if more and more people know that we are all there for each other and Together We are Strong. Unfortunately during our life time someone we know or ourselves will experience some sort of depression and through our personal experiences we know how much of a difference it can make being able to have people to talk to and not to be ashamed about what we all go through, we will all suffer from things in our lifetime that may take us to dark places but we need to know that it’s ok to talk to each other both Men and Women and that It Ain’t Weak to Speak. On Saturday October 26th, Josh will be putting himself through some gruelling events. Josh will be starting at Platinum Mind Body Fitness Gym Erina at 9:00am with a 21km Row, will then set off on a road run to the Beautiful Skillion at the Haven Terrigal. Josh will then do 100 laps up the skillion until all laps are completed whether that be run, jog or walk. Josh will be arriving at the Skillion at around 11:30am and would love to get as many people involved as possible to come and join me on some laps. It could be the perfect time to get a group of your family and friends together get out doors, get some fresh air and just simply check up on one another. So please! The more people the better. Come and Support Josh and this amazing cause So let’s all come together and spread this beautiful message. ‘TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG’ If you would like to make a donation please click on the link below https://individual-fundraiser-ongoing.everydayhero.com//to #beyondyou @beyondblueofficial @platinummindbodyfitness @ Platinum Mind Body Fitness

08.01.2022 Kindness. Such a simple thing that can really change your day, someone else’s day, life and our world. It’s a big practice in our yoga. In Sanskrit it is call...ed ahimsa (translated non violence or kindness). And yes it is a practice... each day we encounter new areas,discussions, moments, situations and thoughts where we can practice ahimsa. It may be outward to others around us or our planet, it may be inwards towards self. How can you be kinder today! How can you practice kindness in every place, thought and moment you step in to? As we practice kindness grows and expands way outside of us, like beautiful magic, and our kindness touches others in ways we cannot even imagine Mysan x

06.01.2022 Recent study finds about half of the Olympians who competed in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics had various degrees of spinal pathologies, yet they all trained ...and competed. Because of confidentiality reasons, whether they were in pain or not were not revealed. However, keep in mind that even among non-athletes, positive findings on MRI scans and other types of scans do not correlate to pain and/or disability. This study provides further evidence that structure is not destiny and that pathological findings do not preclude athletes from reaching world class levels in sport. ~ Christopher Johnson, MPT https://www.massagefitnessmag.com//half-of-2016-rio-de-jan

06.01.2022 Have you ever had those days where you feel like your knee is feeling a little sore, but you don’t remember how you hurt it? Sometimes, things as little as training or poor posture can cause the muscles and their surrounding fibres to become tight, leading to pain in your body. Whilst we at Avoca Beach Physio do think it’s very important to discuss any muscle issues with a health care professional, one of the things that you can do to help reduce mild muscle tension is foam ...rolling! Along with muscle tension, foam rolling has a range of other health care benefits such as increased blood flow to your muscles, increased range of motion, decreased recovery time and it even works to reduce the appearance of cellulite! For further insight into foam rolling, or if you have some more serious muscle concerns give us a call on 43824567 or pop in to the practice to pick up a foam roller and see what all the hype is about!
