25.01.2022 Missing the sun? What's your Vitamin D intake like? Here are some 3 top tips: 1. DIET: Adequate calcium intake is vital. If you're reluctant to eat dairy/leafy ...greens, then discuss the possibility of a calcium supplement with your GP. 2. EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT: Our bodies never stop producing Vitamin D, but always need sunlight in order to do so. Sensible exposure of face and arms for 10 minutes before 9 or after 3 should be adequate. 3. REGULAR CHECK-UPS: GP’s are usually fabulous at checking Vitamin D and calcium levels frequently, and will order a bone density scan if indicated. Stay on top of your GP check-ups! Need assistance or support? Please seek help from a qualified health professional.

25.01.2022 What does "ergonomics" really mean? Ergonomics is "the study of people's efficiency in their working environment"... but what this really means is how we positi...on and move ourselves for optimal comfort whilst undertaking daily tasks. There are certain positions where load is placed upon muscles, ligaments, joints etc., which may lead to pain or discomfort if repeated, day in, day out. Understanding ergonomics isn't only important when it comes to office work. Driver's seat positioning, lifting technique for taking the washing out or picking up the baby are all things that your Osteopath can assist your find optimal positions and methods for. If you think your WFH set-up is contributing to your ergonomics-related pain, your osteopath may assist with addressing your pain and provide advice on how to change your workstation setup, as well as advise upon easy movement based strategies to keep you comfortable.

Now, imagine having a small issue in just one or two of these muscles it can throw out your gait or walking pattern, causing imbalances and other issues, as well as pain. Don’t worry, because we can help fix your issues a...nd restore your normal function. Want to know more?

17.01.2022 Are you in pain when you're asleep? One of the main issues with sleep related pain is the tension people hold through the night. When stressed, we often hold ou...r muscles on a high level of tension. Before going to sleep, do a quick little body check of what's occurring. Are you contracting your neck and back muscles really tightly? How does your jaw feel? Have you been clenching your teeth? Have your hands and arms felt tight and tense? Spend 5 minutes every night focusing on breathing, with every exhale let a part of your body relax: If your symptoms persist, consider getting assistance from a health professional.

16.01.2022 It's National Safe Work Month (1-31 October)! Osteopathy Australia member, Heath Williams has shared some handy information on how you might optimise your heal...th and productivity in the home environment! Working from home has become the new norm for many Australians in 2020, and a consequence of this may be the development of common musculoskeletal complaints such as neck pain, shoulder pain, upper limb and lower back pain. Many of these complaints are likely to be a result of static or awkward working postures and repetitive work tasks.

15.01.2022 Mindset. Its not just a buzzword. In 2020, you could say we've all had a lot of time to think about what's important to each of us, what we value most, and what... we need on a day-to-day basis so our lives make sense to us and feel good. Mindset is also an important part of the osteopathic philosophy. At the practical level, osteopaths work with their patients to ensure they're physically fit and mentally healthy, so as to better launch into new beginnings and feel confident about handling various challenges along the way. For your osteopath, this forms part of their work in checking in on your mindset, and working out where you may need guidance and encouragement in order to reach your goals.

15.01.2022 Been sitting around just a little too much? The human body thrives on frequent and varied movement. The more movement you do, the more capable your body is at a...dapting to different movements or forces you place upon it. However, when we are working at a desk very little movement occurs and we tend to get sore...so make sure you have a good desk set up and then move! Move for a few minutes every 30 minutes. Swing your arms Do handstands Have push up competitions Do squats or lunges Do the worm across the lounge room floor. Exercise outside of work hours. Use your body, push it, and challenge it such that it is more resistant to the challenges of sitting still at work all day.

14.01.2022 Have you been told you need a DEXA scan? This is a special kind of x-ray used to detect bone loss in our skeletons. People at risk of, or those that have osteoporosis may require a DEXA scan every now and then to check their levels and determine the severity of bone loss, which leaves our bones more prone to fractures. DEXA = Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Now that’s a mouthful! #osteo #osteopathy #DEXAscan

13.01.2022 This month’s muscle madness focusses on the Triceps Brachii, or just ‘triceps’. This is a muscle found on the back of the upper arm. It helps to move the arm backwards and also straighten the elbow. The word triceps stands for ‘three-heads’, which refers to the three attachment points of the muscle in the arm and shoulder region. Interestingly, there is also another Triceps in the body: Triceps Surae. Comment below if you know where it is found (or just have a guess! ). #osteo #osteopathy #musclemadness #tricepsmuscle #triceps

08.01.2022 Is your pillow causing pain in your neck? Contrary to popular belief, pillows aren't usually the sole cause of neck pain and headaches. If your pillow is partic...ularly old and flattened, however, and you notice yourself beginning to wake with pain or stiffness, then you may want to discuss your symptoms with an Osteopath in order for a thorough assessment before you rush out and buy an expensive pillow. Your Osteopath can give you an indication of other things that may be causing your pain, such as sedentary behaviour, desk work, eye strain or stress. They may also have suggestions of pillow options if necessary. If you would like to see an osteopath to understand your pain before you rush off and buy that pricey pillow, simply visit www.osteopathy.org.au/find-an-osteo to check for practitioners in your local area.

05.01.2022 It’s osteo word of the month time! This month’s word is ATLAS. And no, we don’t mean the book of maps. Atlas is the name given to the first vertebrae in the neck. It’s the bone which the skull sits on and is referred to as C1. It is shaped like a ring and has a close relationship to the second vertebrae, the Axis, or C2. Now, raise your hand if you knew about the Atlas? #osteo #osteopathy #bones #wordofthemonth #atlas

04.01.2022 It’s time for Osteo word of the month Diaphragm! There are a few diaphragms found throughout the body, but the one most commonly referred to is the thin muscle that separates the chest cavity (which houses the lungs and heart) from the abdominal cavity (which houses the stomach, intestines and other important organs). This muscle flattens when we breathe in, and domes when we breathe out! Hands up who knew where the diaphragm was? #osteopathy #osteo #wordofthemonth #diaphragm

04.01.2022 Clinical education from an osteopath on how to manage a particular condition - particularly for patients who've only just received a diagnosis - can be very emp...owering. Osteopaths are clinically trained in a range of musculoskeletal conditions and disorders, and the education of patients is something osteopaths may offer each patient they see. Osteopaths may also offer a wealth of clinically-informed experience when explaining the options available to you for your osteopathic care. This is especially useful for determining how you might maintain a health, exercise or rehabilitation plan in between osteopathy appointments.

04.01.2022 Ever taken a ball smack bang on the end of your fingers when trying to catch, forcing your finger(s) backwards? This type of injury can lead to a condition called Mallet Finger where the tendon which helps to straighten the end part of your finger ruptures or breaks away with some of the bone still attached. This leaves your fingertip in a bent position. Most cases of Mallet Finger recover well with splinting and hands on treatment to maintain function of the hand, wrist and upper limb. Who has experienced this before? Let us know below! #osteopathy #osteo #malletfinger

03.01.2022 Whether you're returning to sport after an injury or long period of inactivity, Osteopaths understand how frustrating it is to be kept from the sport you love. ...

03.01.2022 October’s Word of the Month is ‘Biceps’. Biceps means ‘two-heads’. There are two muscles in the human body that carry the name biceps and have two attachment points (rather than one) at one end of the muscle; the Biceps Brachii in the front of the upper arm, and the Biceps Femoris in the back of the thigh. Makes the phrase just going to work the biceps a little more complicated now, doesn’t it?! #osteopathy #osteo #anatomy #biceps

Book an appointment today so we can assess them and get them on the straight and narrow asap! #osteo #osteopathy #outtoeing
