25.01.2022 Osteopathy recognises the following principles. The body is one unit of function The body has self-regulating mechanisms The bodys structure and function are reciprocally inter-related ... Therapeutic management is applied with an understanding of these principles and a thorough knowledge of clinical sciences. These osteopathic principles, in conjunction with current medical knowledge, inform the care given to patients. Scientific plausibility and evidence informed reasoning are fundamental to the diagnosis, treatment and case management

25.01.2022 Ongoing pain??? You are aware what the problem is... you have worked out how you did it.... Now we need to know WHY your body hasnt recovered like it should be. This can be much more complex than it sounds and the answer isnt always rest #geelonghealth #geelong #osteogeelong #gettothebottomofit #healyourself

20.01.2022 Had fun being interview by @steveneskaf as part of the @maxchallenge and @maxineschallenge podcast, chatting a bit on injuries, being an osteopath who works with gyms and pain. Check it out on iTunes or via their website #thechallengepodcast #geelongfitness #geelonghealth #geelongpt #danielwoodosteopath @ Geelong, Victoria

20.01.2022 Skeletal muscles move bones by pulling on them. Muscles can pull but not push, so skeletal muscles are often arranged in pairs that pull bones in opposite directions.

19.01.2022 Due to most of the after hour appointments already being booked out this week I have opened up 4-7 on Thursday.

18.01.2022 All after hour appointments booked for today but still appointments on Wednesday and Friday this week #geelong #geelonghealth #geelongpain #medicalhealthgroupgeelong #geelongosteo #geelongosteopathy #osteogeelong

18.01.2022 Headache is one of the most common health-related conditions in Australia, with around 15 per cent of us taking pain-relieving medication for a headache at any given time. It is likely that nearly all of us will experience headache during our lifetime. People of any age can be affected, but people between the ages of 25 and 44 years are more likely to report having a headache. There are different types of headache and many different causes, which explains why the condit...ion is so common. Most headaches have more than one contributing factor. Some of the more common triggers for headache are lifestyle related, such as poor diet, stress, muscle tension, and lack of exercise. Serious underlying disorders, such as brain tumours, are rarely the cause of headache, although persistent headache should always be investigated by a doctor. #headache #tensionheadache #geelong #neckpain #geelonghealth #wellnessgeelong #geelongcbd #geelongwaterfront #geelonghairdresser #getitsorted See more

14.01.2022 Osteopathy is a manual therapy, so hands-on treatment may include massage, stretching, repetitive movements, dry needling, mobilisation and/or manipulation

14.01.2022 Did you know that you can see approved Osteopaths under the WorkSafe Victoria program. Just finished updating my compliance knowledge so happy to answer any questions you may have if you call the clinic #worksafe #workingtowardsbetteroutcomes #elearning #osteoaustralia @osteopathyau #geelong #geelonginjury

10.01.2022 Although this test usually gets a as it can feel weird to not control a movement. It gives me so much information about your motor and sensory pathways. Combined with your clinical history can be a vital test in working out what is your best management moving forwards #geelonghealth #geelongosteo #activegeelong #backpain #reflexes #osteo #geelongcity

09.01.2022 To all my amazing clients that have supported me since opening in Geelong. Today I have had to make a tough decision. I have decided to close as of end of business Friday 27th March, hopefully just until after Easter or potentially longer depending on how things develop. At this stage, as an allied health practitioner, we are not required to close by the government. We have no confirmed cases of COVID 19 associated with the clinic, however I believe now is the time to take ac...tion. Other people may feel differently at this time and that is ok as there is no right or wrong answer. I think that as Osteopaths our services are essential in normal life, much like going to the gym and exercising, but this is a very different scenario. Although cleaning has been ramped up 10 fold and restrictions placed on patients able to come in, it is impossible for me to practice social distancing whilst providing services where we have to physically touch our clients. This is a very tough decision, and one that I have not made lightly and I hope that you will support my decision with understanding. I know how important our services can feel to you, but in light of what is happening, we need to all do our bit to protect those we love and stop this from getting any worse. I plan to start online telehealth from next week. It will be at a reduced rate, with an aim to set up rehab programs, manage musculo-skeletal injuries and help your body get through this tough time of isolation (more on this to follow). Look after yourself and your loved ones and please dont hesitate to contact me via email or phone at anytime. I am always here to help, that hasnt changed. Yours in good health, Daniel Wood

05.01.2022 What is your back? Your back is a complex structure that provides support for your pelvis, legs, ribcage, arms and skull. The spine is made up of bones called vertebrae that are stacked together to form a loose S-shaped column. Each vertebra is cushioned by spongy tissue called intervertebral discs. These discs act as shock absorbers and give your spine its flexibility. Vertebrae are joined by pairs of small joints known as facet joints. A mesh of connective tissue calle...d ligaments holds the spine together. Complex layers of muscle provide structural support and allow you to move. Your spinal cord runs through the centre of the vertebral column and connects your brain to the rest of your body.

03.01.2022 Doing any physical activity is better than doing none. If you currently do no physical activity, start by doing some, and gradually build up to the recommended amount. Be active on most, preferably all, days every week. Accumulate 150 to 300 minutes (2 to 5 hours) of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 to 150 minutes (1 to 2 hours) of vigorous intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both moderate and vigorous activities, each week. Do muscle strengthening activities on at least 2 days each week.

01.01.2022 Your health is my top priority. I have been monitoring the day to day developments and working towards a plan on how to re-open while minimising the risk for you, other clients, staff and my family. I am excited to let you know the clinic is now open for Osteo Treatments! The clinic will operate quite differently with a raft of new hygiene and physical distancing measures in place. This includes a reduction in available appointments to keep numbers of people in the building ...at any one time reduced. I apologise if it is a bit harder to get an appointment at the time you want but I am hoping this will be able to be eased moving forward. Further discussion of changes can be found on the Covid-19 page of my website. You can now book online all call reception to make an appointment. I look forward to seeing you soon
