21.01.2022 Less is more, consistency is key. If you do things well on MOST days, a slip up here and there isn't going to set you back. This rings true for habits such as exercise, dieting and even sleep patterns If you have a slip up. Be kind to yourself, accept it for what it is and look ahead! After all, perfect is boring! #dghealth #osteopathy #physicaltherapy #manualtherapy #strengthandconditioning #richmond #richmond3121

20.01.2022 Sleep quality & pain Did you know that poor sleep patterns predispose us to heightened pain sensations? This is because a lack of high quality rest places the body into a relative state of 'stress', in which we are more prone to feeling pain as a protective mechanism Pillow choice is similar to shoe choice, there's no "perfect fit" as everybody is different. However, we encourage our clients to explore their options!

17.01.2022 Runner's Knee Rehab - Why you shouldn't REST #Osteopath Will demonstrates early stage rehabilitation exercises for runner's knee, a condition he loves to treat! Majority of running injuries are due to overuse, namely a rapid increase in volume and/or intensity. Acute pain in these cases is not a sign to STOP movement, as complete "rest" will lead to weakening of the tissues and actually increase your likelihood of injury when returning to running. Best management revolve...s around load management and gradual graded exercise/running programming Further; Knee pain is NOT a symptom of damage If you've been experiencing knee pain, get in touch and we will get you back up and running in no time #kneepain #melbournerunners #isorun #dghealth #osteopathy #physicaltherapy #manualtherapy #strengthandconditioning #richmond #richmond3121

17.01.2022 Plyometrics (pile of what tricks?) Plyometric exercises help build 'elastic energy' in our tissues to help with rapid muscular contractions. Think of how an archer pulls a bow string back before it propels forward #Osteopath Will demonstrates a few simple plyometric exercises which promote elastic energy production in the glutes, calves and plantar fascia tendons. ... When returning to running following injury, plyometric exercises are generally introduced in the latter stages, as they require large amounts of force to be produced AND absorbed by the body. For those who are uninjured, these serve as a great warm-up pre run! #running #runnersstrength #kneepain #dghealth #osteopathy #physicaltherapy #manualtherapy #strengthandconditioning #richmond #richmond3121
