24.01.2022 "Recovery was slowest amongst those who were assigned to bed rest." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7823996/

22.01.2022 WE HAVE A GIVEAWAY WINNER! Congratulations to CARA MARCHINKO! Feel free to pop into the clinic to claim your prize, we're open 7-7 weekdays, and 8-2 Saturdays Thank you to everyone for entering the competition. Keep an eye out for our next one!

22.01.2022 I dont want you to give me exercises, I just want you to fix me! Its tough to keep compliant with the exercises our physios give us to prevent injury, especially as life gets in the way! After we see our physios in the clinic, where youll likely receive some hands on treatment, in parallel with some other fun stuff (taping, dry needling etc), usually clinically prescribed exercises are a VITAL part of your treatment! A common mistake is when patients rush into their ex...ercises when their pain flares up. The idea is to try to keep compliant with exercises when youre feeling GOOD in order to REDUCE the chance of flare up and hence having to see your physio! The key thing is to have these exercises become a regular HABIT(easier said than done I hear you say!). I could write a novel about how to turn behaviours into positive habits, but for now, start to try to LINK your physio exercises to a: 1. Time - at 8am every day, do your 20 squats. 2. Location whenever you walk into your bedroom, do your neck stretches and shoulder exercises. 3. Preceding activity when I walk in the door from work, do your calf raises. 4. Person meeting a trainer at the gym to perform a workout, organising to meet your best friend for a biweekly walk. 5. Good/healthy habit youre already doing when you walk the dogs, perform your pelvic floor exercises. You get the idea! Try these as a start and chat to your physio about ways to improve compliance and accountability with your exercises, so they become a HABIT and not a CHORE!

20.01.2022 NEW BLOG! Wanting to get back into physical activity, but have no idea how to start without injuring yourself?! Dayna has written up a summary for you. Give it a read, particularly with Phase 4 Restrictions easing this Saturday, meaning you can go to the gym whenever! Exciting but dangerous http://comophysio.com.au//things-to-know-before-returning/

20.01.2022 Are you stuck at home? Here are reasons why we can still help you! Don't be in pain if you don't have to, because we all know pain doesn't stop even though the world has.

20.01.2022 "TREAT THE (WO)MAN, NOT THE SCAN!" When you have a scan (MRI, CT, xray or other), you may read a pile of scary words. These changes can be present in asymptomatic individuals, are often not the reason for your pain and most of the time, won't change your plan of treatment. So when you obtain your scan results... DON'T panic... DO consult your physiotherapist so they can give you a CLEAR explanation of what those long, confusing words mean! Remember, pain doesn't necessarily mean damage! Findings on a scan DO NOT correlate with an individuals pain! Anatomical abnormalities found on a scan are actually NORMAL! See more

18.01.2022 Happy Long Weekend everyone! A reminder that we are open today, Saturday the 30th of May, and closed this coming Monday for the long weekend. Our Zoom Exercise session this morning was the perfect way to start the weekend

17.01.2022 MONDAY MYTH BUSTER Following on from Jed's fantastic post on Friday, here is something you might not have known! Feel free to ask us any questions on 93674966, send us a message, or comment below!

16.01.2022 Hey guys, we're currently having difficulties with our phone system at Como Physiotherapy which we're attending to ASAP! If you want to contact us, please message us through facebook!

16.01.2022 MONDAY MYTH BUSTER! Getting older does not mean you have to be in pain. As physiotherapists, we want to optimise function and activities of daily living. As we promote exercise and joint health, this means that we can help you maintain your physical health as you get older.

16.01.2022 NEW BLOG Our physiotherapist Dayna explains what core strength really means to you. Take home messages: - There is no one thing that you can tell people is the cause of their pain (in most cases)... - Pretensing your body before you move isn't normal and is unhelpful - Your spine is made to move, and do the exercises that make you happy Let us know what you think or ask questions in the comments below! http://comophysio.com.au/2020/04/27/getting-to-the-core/

15.01.2022 It's time to meet the real heroes in our clinic!! Our amazing staff of course!! Here's expert Physiotherapist, Nick! Here are some things we didn't know about the legend!... 1. What are you seeing a lot of in the clinic right now? I'm seeing a lot of clients who have started working from home with different work station set-ups and are developing back/neck pain. I'm also seeing patients who have either stopped exercising, completely getting injuries or have started new forms of workouts at home causing injuries that way. 2. What's one thing about you that staff and patients wouldn't know? I can solve a Rubik's cube... I think... it's been a while. 3. What's your pet peeve? Whenever I see pineapple on a pizza. 4. Who inspires you? Back when I was water-skiing I was inspired by a professional skier called Freddy Krueger (yes that is his real name). 5. Who would you most like to swap places with for a day? Why? The Prime Minister. I love politics and would love to be immersed with the day to day running of the country, but maybe not during a global pandemic!

14.01.2022 Do you suffer from neck pain, which, when your neck is treated, never seems to go away? Do you have pain down your legs that seems to get worse when you stretch/strengthen your legs? You've gone for your 100th shoulder massage for your shoulder pain and symptoms are just getting worse? You are likely dealing with REFERRED PAIN!... Our job as physio's is to find THE spot(s) that your symptoms are coming from. That leg pain may be coming from nerves in your back, so it's the BACK, the underlying cause that needs to be addressed. That pesky shoulder pain may be caused by a super tight mid back and THAT is the thing that needs to be addressed. That horrible knee pain you're feeling when you run may be due to weak muscles in the leg, or may be due to muscle imbalance on that side from a shoulder injury you sustained years ago! COME AND GET AN ANSWER TODAY at COMO PHYSIOTHERAPY! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4327510/

13.01.2022 Our phone lines & internet are down. We are working hard to get everything back up. Meanwhile, please email us at: [email protected] Well try our best to get back to you as soon as we can. We appreciate your kind understanding!

10.01.2022 It's Loud Shirt Day at Como Physio Clinic! Thanks to our Physiotherapist Nick for helping us bring some colour into a gloomy day! His Rehabilitation class enjoyed their exercises a little more this morning

10.01.2022 Monday TUESDAY MYTH BUSTER! Did you know that there is no relationship between pain severity and rotator cuff tear severity? Natural history studies have demonstrated that, in some patients, pain may be associated with enlargement of an asymptomatic rotator cuff tear. It appears that the majority of rotator cuff tears are asymptomatic - so, sometimes, when a shoulder if flared up due to a rotator cuff tear, that does not mean it cannot get back to full function!

09.01.2022 MONDAY MYTH BUSTER! Now isn't this one interesting?! This is one I heard over the weekend, that I think has somehow been ingrained into everyone's brains by the fitness industry. Isn't it funny - we always listen to what we shouldn't do (particular movements, apparently), not what we should do (exercise!!!!). So, we do know that knees over toes is a particular position, and also that this position does place more stress on the cartilage behind your knee or a tendon in... front of your knee. So there might be times where you've gone on a long run or walk, gone bike riding for the first time in ages, or another activity or stressor that has aggravated your knee. This is a normal response and might indicate you need help or assistance from your physiotherapist, to figure out how much load your knee can tolerate. This position shouldn't be avoided, it should be trained for every day activities. Help us help you figure out a knee plan today! Give us a call on 93674966 if your knees have been playing up a little lately, and we will be able to help. See more

09.01.2022 ON THE BLOG: Expert physiotherapist, Jedidiah Lee, discusses that horrible "out of nowhere" neck pain that comes on, what it is and what to do about it. Jed has a keen interest in treating neck and back pain and is available in the clinic Monday to Saturday (every second Thursday). If your pain in the neck is ... a pain the neck, give us a call or book online today! http://comophysio.com.au//is-your-pain-in-the-neck-a-pain/

08.01.2022 INTRODUCING MONDAY MYTH BUSTERS! We'll be doing a series of physiotherapy myths over the coming few weeks, with simple facts to educate you about your body and your pain. This week we give you a posture fact. We've had a lot of patients come in recently with sore backs - convinced it's because of their working from home postures.... As physiotherapists we understand and accept there will always be difficulties in challenging and confronting patient's beliefs and expectations, especially around an emotional topic such as back pain - but believe us on this one! Feel free to ask us any questions about this and future myth buster posts!

07.01.2022 MONDAY MYTH BUSTER A lot of us worry that if we move something 'funny' or in a different way, and it brings on pain, that we've done serious harm to our bodies. But pain does not equal injury, or damage. Pain equals pain! Ask us some questions in the comments below!

06.01.2022 ***CHRISTMAS HOURS*** Como Physiotherapy will be OPEN all the way through the Christmas and New Year period (minus the public holidays of course). Specific hours will be posted as we approach Christmas! Stay tuned!

05.01.2022 (K)NOT WHAT YOU THINK! Have you ever wondered what a muscle knot really is? Our physiotherapist Dayna has written an explanation for you! Leave a question in the comments http://comophysio.com.au/2020/05/13/knot-what-you-think/

05.01.2022 MONDAY MYTH BUSTER! Functionality of an exercise exists along a continuum, with certain exercises having more relevance to your goals and abilities than others. Just because an exercise might be more applicable than another, does not mean that the other exercise is 'non functional'. So really, it just depends on your goals. The thing is, most of us are already so time poor that we don't know what exercises will get us where we need to be, in the fastest time. If you need assistance, don't hesitate to contact one of our physiotherapists. We know all the ins and outs! Call reception today on 93674966 or book online at www.comophysio.com.au

04.01.2022 STAFF PROFILE! Meet our Physiotherapist, Ash! Here are some fun facts about him: - How would your work colleagues describe you? Passionate... - When you wake up in the morning, what's the first thing you do? Have a glass of water and eat my **first** breakfast - What's the longest time, in a single stretch, that you've ever been in a car? That's a tie between Trieste (Italy) to Split (Croatia) and Perth to Exmouth. All lovely destinations but I'll probably have a night stay on the way next time - How many keys are on your key ring? 10 - What is the one food you can't give up? Burgers Thanks Ash!

04.01.2022 Lost for ideas? Here are some! Dont know where to start? Our physiotherapists can help you contact us on 93674966 or email [email protected] if you need some assistance getting started with home work outs, or have a niggly injury thats getting in the way of you completing them!

These findings challenge existing beliefs that reconstruction surgery is required to prevent early arthritis in young adults following ACL injury, says Dr Culvenor." https://stories.scienceinpublic.com.au//for-knee-injurie/
