Fortunatel...y, there are many other ways we can be accessed during this time! Please feel free to save and use this contact resource, as all of our wonderful practitioners are more than happy for you to contact them directly! book online call email Instagram Facebook See more

22.01.2022 Hmm... this is familiar... who else has got lost down the garden path... Not even going to lie though... as a practitioner, I don’t mind it if you bring me suggestions or thoughts on your experience, it helps us work together to find some solutions!! As long as you don’t get too deep, I think a practitioner should be open to the convo from your perspective!

10.01.2022 Thanks for the feature @osteopathyau Jessica Summut runs @whole.health.osteopathy in Eltham, Victoria. She has been a member of Osteopathy Australia since ...2014 and says she benefits from the access to courses, information and being able to liaise with her colleagues in one place. To get the same benefits that Jessica receives go to www.osteopathy.org.au/membership/join-us #osteo #osteapath #osteopathy #health #memberspotlight #OsteopathyAustralia #alliedhealth

08.01.2022 The Government has released a module on COVID19 but the website kept crashing. So resident Osteopath and legend Amelia shared her notes from the course with the... team... and we're sharing them with you. Thank you Mim! Hello All, Bill tells me the site keeps crashing for this and well.. I've screen shot all the slides... Don't judge me, I was worried I might forget something and fail the test. Taking too long to upload them so i'll type out a summary and send through slides if they ever upload. Summary of events - Coronavirus is a family of viruses that can make people sick this one originated in China 2019: - 80% of people will experience mild symptoms and fully recover. - 15% moderate symptoms and recover with no special treatment - 5% will experience severe symptoms and "get very sick" .... Symptoms are - Fever - Coughing, sore throat and fatigue - Shortness of Breath **Not everyone with these symptoms has Corona - I think we knew that but there you go it was an NB Higher risk population = "older people" With conditions such as high blood pressure, heart conditions, diabetes, respiratory disease or immune deficiencies. - Anybody can catch it - no gender or race discrimination - (bit worrying that this one had to be mentioned!) How is it spread? - droplet transmission (produced with a cough or sneeze) - these droplets typically cannot travel more than 1 meter in distance - hence social distancing = 1.5 meters + away from people around you. So if they cough their droplets can't get you. 2 ways to get it - if someone coughs or sneezes on you in close contact - breathing in the droplets can -> contracting the virus - or you touch a contaminated object (door knob etc) and then touch your eyes, nose, face or mouth Solution - wash your hands REGULARLY and don't touch your face - you can kill the virus by washing your hands with soap. - clean regularly touched surfaces regularly - light switches door knobs, taps - sink basin and floors also wash but less frequently etc - follow instructions of cleaning products .... if it says don't get cleaning product on skin and use in a well ventilated area best to follow this... - CLEAN YOUR CAR TOO, ESPECIALLY THE STEERING WHEEL!!! - Don't go to large gatherings or events unless absolutely necessary - too many droplets to manage avoidance Here is how to wash your hands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PmVJQUCm4E - there is also a WHO video on using hand sanitiser if you need it but same thing but you need to do it for 20-30 seconds until it's dry use the same pattern as per with soap Visitors (to work or your home) should wash their hands before entering and after they leave - they advise to have signs up to remind people to wash their hands. Don't shake hands - there was a video - not bad if you need some humour - tap elbows, tap feet, there was also one suggesting you tap butts but might be a slight issue in the work place and your patient might sue you so we'll leave that one out... Use Good respiratory hygiene - cough into your bent elbow, if you use a tissue it goes straight in the bin and wash your hands afterwards. Facemasks in public - no use won't protect you - leave them for people treating the ill and people who are sick only. Food prep - don't prep food for other people if you're sick - doesn't seem to be spread by food but still - it also tells you how not to get food poisoning - I won't bore you - main thing is don't cough on the food... VISITORS - Maintain relationships with friends - important but only if they wash their hands first thing when they get to your house - don't go and see people who are unwell - if you're sick stay at home and use skype or. phone call. Been overseas - stay at home! Don't go to work - 14 days isolation for you - I'll share my netflix if you need it. highest risk countries- china, iran, italy, south korea but everywhere be risky... If you get symptoms - STAY AT HOME - try and isolate yourself at home in a room if others at home are well - preferably have your own bathroom (i'm pretty jealous if you have your own I won't lie) and clean door handles, taps and flat surfaces regularly. - Wear a mask if you have to be around others but try and stay 1.5 m away - seek medical assistance but as we all know call first don't just show up - national corona info and triage line =1800 020 080 or call your regular health care person and they can guide you - let work know - if someone you know gets it - put on PPE when you're around them and call the triage line. Myths (get ready for them cos they go deep) - coronavirus can only be transmitted in humid environments or cold environments - we have seen transmission in both summer and winter climates around the world. - having a hot bath will kill the germs - sadly no - you'll just burn yourself and just wash your damn hands - they're relaxing though - you can't get it from a mosquito bite.... - hand dryers won't kill it- just WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS that will then dry them properly with hand dryer or paper towel - Don't use UV lights to kill COVID - 19 - you'll "irritate your skin" maybe a slight euphemism there. - thermal scanner - not useful unless the person has developed symptoms - can take 2-10 days to develop a fever after infection - My personal favourite - "Can spraying alcohol or chlorine all over your body kill the new coronavirus?" - You all know the answer to this - you'll need to see the doctor afterwards if you do... - Vaccines protect against it - we don't have one yet - regularly spraying saline up your nose will help - WTF?! - eating lots of garlic? No evidence but it's good for you cos it tastes delish... if you don't have an intolerance to it - can antibiotics prevent it - no - they'll only give it to you in hospital because often bacterial infections co occur with viruses - bacterias are the worst - We have no current medications to treat it - true STAY INFORMED - www.health.gov.au Summary - Wash your hands - Maintain social Distancing - 1.5m guys - stay at home if sick - no big gatherings - practice good respiratory etiquette - cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue (dispose of it immediately - the tissue, not your elbow ) and wash your hands after. - seek medical advice if you get symptoms - but call first apparently healthdirect.gov.au/coronavirus has good info. Sorry it's dry. Hope all of you and your loved ones are well! Cheers, Amelia

01.01.2022 Sophie and I are going to walk every day in August!! there’s a lot happening right now so no pressure from my end to donate, but I personally couldn’t imagine living without eyesight, so I’m happy to raise some funds for Guide Dogs in training These doggos are such good workers provide independence for the vision impaired, but they can also with as Autism Assistance Dogs, Therapy Dogs, and Companion Dogs to people with disabilities.
