25.01.2022 WHY YOU NEED A COACH . Even therapists and coaches need someone to help them and give an outside perspective! . If you're serious about achieving your health, fitness or sport performance goals, I highly recommend getting a coach or therapist to help you get there. It's so helpful to get a professional, outside perspective on your individual situation. Sometimes the solution is right in front of you but you can't see the forest for the trees! ... . In my personal case, I was feeling stuck in a rut with my back and knee pain, my training and my diet. I'd been getting hands-on treatment from some fantastic manual therapists which was providing some much-needed relief, but my rehab and training program wasn't working well for me, and I was lacking inspiration with what I could do to improve my diet. . Physio and Strength and Conditioning coach Lauren Hanna @onfield.co has been amazing with supervising my rehab and overhauling my training program. It's been an inconsistent month of training due to self-isolation and gym closures, but I've already seen some really pleasing improvements in my back and knee pain and my range of motion (see the top photo vs bottom photo). My hip range and my core control and endurance is improving and I'm feeling stronger when running and lifting . And thanks to the help of @aidan_the_dietitian, I've now got a solid meal plan to help me with my weight loss, body composition and sport performance goals. I'm excited to work on my diet whilst learning some new things in the process. Watch this space! . In conclusion, I encourage you to seek help in achieving your health, fitness or sport goals. It's so worth it. So why not start today? . At Cultivate Health Centre, we are here to help you get out of pain, get moving and feel stronger. Reach out to us to find out how we can help! . #cultivatinghealth #healthcare #injurymanagement #rehabilitation #strengthprograms #strengthandconditioning #osteopathy #osteopath #sportsinjuries #diet #fuelyourbodyright #physio #pilates #isolationtraining #isolationexercise #healthandwellness #oceangrove #leopold #bellarinepeninsula #geelong See more

18.01.2022 Challenge yourself to make your weaknesses your strengths! . This was meant to just be a photo of my blocks set up for my personal reference BUT I thought I'd make a point of posting it to talk about challenges! . For me, block starts have always been a challenge and something that I've disliked doing - even though I've been doing athletics on and off since age 11. I'm long and lanky and I've always felt awkward coming out of the blocks. So I would avoid short sprints becau...se I was such a slow starter and scared of tripping over out of the blocks and making a fool of myself! (It has happened!) . With COVID restrictions and uncertainties about organized sport going ahead this season, I'm taking the time to overcome my fears and work on my weaknesses. Hence the block starts. With the right attitude I believe we can move past our mental blocks and weaknesses to become a stronger and better version of ourselves . So why not start today? . Here at Cultivate we want to help you achieve your health and sports goals, however big or small they might be! Chat to us to find out how we can help you cultivate health and strength! . #cultivatinghealth #healthcare #injurymanagement #rehabilitation #strengthprograms #strengthandconditioning #athletics #running #sprints #triplejump #osteopathy #osteopath #sportsinjuries #diet #fuelyourbodyright #isolationtraining #isolationexercise #healthandwellness #armstrongcreek #surfcoast #geelong See more

16.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATE . We are still open for Osteopathy and Strength Conditioning consults across both our Belmont and Armstrong Creek locations but we are taking extra precautions! . When you come to see me for an Osteopathy consult I will check your temperature upon arrival and I will be wearing a mask during treatment. As usual we are continuing to change linen between clients, regularly wipe down high contact surfaces with 70% alcohol wipes and sprays and sanitizing and /or ...handwashing between clients and during treatments. . We are still offering Telehealth consults for those who can't attend for face-to-face appointments or would rather stay at home. You are also welcome to wear a face mask during treatment and bring your own towel (this is entirely optional). We do ask that you wash or sanitize your hands upon entering the clinic. . We are screening all clients for COVID-19 and ask that you do not attend your appointment if you are feeling unwell or awaiting COVID test results. . Your health and safety is our priority . I'm still smiling underneath this mask! Just happy to be at work and to be able to keep helping my wonderful clients See more

11.01.2022 POST-SURGICAL REHAB This is Adam, whom I have been treating after a TAC injury in which he sustained multiple tendon and ligament tears in both of his knees. Adam required two surgeries on his right knee and one on his left. After initially completing hospital-based hydrotherapy, we have progressed him to a guided rehab and strength program. ... It was so great to be able to get back in the gym with Adam and start making some further progress towards his goals. We are currently focussing on isolated strength exercises to build up the muscles around the knee, whilst incorporating some basic compound movements likes squats and glute bridges. We will continue to progress his program with the goal of getting him jogging again and returning to work in 4-6 weeks' time. If you have suffered an injury or need some rehab post-surgery, we can help! Get in touch with us to find out how! .

06.01.2022 There are many similarities between these three professions, but also some subtle differences! . Physiotherapists, Chiropractors and Osteopaths are all university-trained, with a minimum 4 years of study. All three professions are manual therapies and have a solid foundation in anatomy and physiology. They also use exercise rehabilitation as an adjunct to manual therapy. . PHYSIOTHERAPY... . As a general rule, physios have a greater focus on exercise rehabilitation, and slightly less focus on manual therapy. Physios have a strong presence in hospitals and post-surgical rehabilitation, eg following joint repairs/ reconstructions. There are many specialty areas within physio, such as pelvic floor physiotherapy, sports and neurological/ cardiac rehabilitation. . CHIROPRACTIC . Chiros have a large focus on the spine as a source of dysfunction in the body, however they are able to treat the whole body using a range of manual techniques. They are proficient in joint manipulation (cracking), however not all chiros choose to use these techniques. Some may use additional tools such as activators/integrators and wedges. They can also provide you with exercises. OSTEOPATHY . Osteopaths believe that the body is a unit and the way it functions is directly related to its structure (and vice versa). Osteos also believe that the body has the innate ability to heal itself. They aim to assist in this process by treating the body with a range of manual techniques, also including high velocity joint manipulation. Most osteos will also provide their patients with exercises. . Chiros and osteos primarily work in private practice, whereas physios can be found in both the public and private system. All three professions are trained to recognise conditions that require medical referral. They are all primary care practitioners and you do not need a GP referral to see one of these therapists. . At the end of the day, you should see the person who is right for you and is best able to help you!
