16.01.2022 Just an update on Back In Motion Mitcham's response to Stage 3 Restrictions. We understand that these are going to be stressful times and you may be concerned about the level of care that you may receive. On behalf of the team at Back In Motion Mitcham, we’d like to be your safe haven and NORMAL in these abnormal times. We have decided that with some extra Covid-19 preventative measures our classes will still be going ahead under tighter restrictions and they are as follows: ...USUAL MEASURES - Under no circumstances are clients to come to the clinic if they have been in close contact with COVID-19. - Under no circumstances are clients to come to the clinic if they have a fever or dry cough. - Under no circumstances are clients to come to the clinic if they have tested positive for COVID-19. NEW MEASURES - All clients participating in classes must bring their own * Light weights (optional) * Bands (Must) * Mat/towel for the floor * Towel for the bench/reformers (or you won’t be allowed to use the equipment) * Gloves for the reformers and heavy weights - Physios will be wearing a mask at all times during standard consultations and during the classes. - Admin will be wearing masks. - It is optional but highly recommended for clients to wear masks during standard consultations, however it is a prerequisite in order to participate in classes! - Although we are legally exempt from any requirements of the pandemic, we have in order to maintain best distance as possible, decided to reduce the number of participants in classes. This will be to a maximum of 6 people in classes at a time which will further protect you and our staff. *Functional Weights classes max is still 4* Thank you for your understanding, we hope to see you in the clinic soon! Shiv Prakash - Practice Director on behalf of Back in Motion Mitcham

11.01.2022 Exercise is a key element in any healthy lifestyle. When integrated into a person’s routine, alongside sensible eating and sleeping habits, exercise will enable you to move well, with less energy demand and generally live longer. Our knowledge and understanding of exercise has come a long way over the past few decades. Thankfully, the idea that you have to spend your entire gym session on a treadmill is becoming quickly outdated. Even if your fitness goals centre around losing weight, we now know that strength and resistance training are just as important, if not more, than the cardio aspect of your workout. Learn more about why strength and resistance training is key to helping you achieve your fitness goals. http://bit.ly/Strength_MH

07.01.2022 One of the more common foot complaints is pain underneath the foot, either in the middle of the arch itself, or where the arch meets the heel bone. The primary piece of tissue that runs through the undersurface of the foot is called the plantar fascia. Inflammation of this structure is called plantar fasciitis - and if it persists for long enough, a little heel spur (bony growth off the heel bone) may form. Learn more about fixing your Plantar Fasciitis today. https://www.backinmotion.com.au//clinical-exercise-a-mind-

02.01.2022 Working from home? Sitting at a desk for long hours? Have you noticed that you have been feeling stiff and tight through your upper/middle back? Check out Nos’ latest post... Stiffness and tightness through the upper/middle back is very common. It is often a result of various factors such as poor posture, prolonged sitting, reduced activity, poor technique etc. The upper/middle back (thoracic spine) is made up of twelve vertebrae (T1-T12) and takes a slightly rounded positi...on. Improving the mobility through your upper/middle back is beneficial not only for reducing tension and stiffness to the specific region, but can also improve movement and pain to surrounding areas that directly attach to your thoracic spine such as the neck, shoulder blades and lower back. This will reduce compensation from these areas allowing for better and freer movement. Therefore, improving upper/middle back mobility can: - Reduce tightness and/or pain in your upper/middle back and surrounding areas (neck, shoulder blades, lower back) - Improve the position of your spine - Improve shoulder movement - As a warm up to exercise These are 4 exercises that you can try at home using a foam roller focused on improving mobility through your thoracic spine in two specific movements: extension (bending back) and rotation (turning to the side). 1) Lying Foam Roller Extensions - Lying on your back have the foam roller across a level within the upper/middle back region - Keep abdominals and ribs tight to stabilise the lower spine - Bend back over the foam roller holding for 3-5 seconds - Roll down a level and repeat 2) Thoracic Rotation with Foam Roller - Lying on all fours - Support your arm on the foam roller - Rotate your arm across your body using the foam roller - Keep lower back in a neutral position - Return to starting position and repeat 3) Half Kneeling Open Books - Kneeling on one knee (closest against the wall) - Put a foam roller between the upright knee and the wall (prevents rotation through your hips) can perform without the foam roller - Have your arms together directly infront of you at 90 degrees against the wall - Open the far side arm away from the wall and rotate trying to reach as far back as possible - Return to the starting position and repeat 4) Half Kneeling Wall Circles - Kneeling on one knee (closest against the wall) - Put a foam roller between the upright knee and the wall (prevents rotation through your hips) Can perform without foam roller - Have the near side arm against the wall - Rotate your arm in a circular motion following with your eyes trying to reach all the way around and back to the starting position
