25.01.2022 PERSISTENT PAIN Episode 1 Pain does not always equal damage Pain has been designed to protect the body. When we get injured the body systems intensify the message for pain perception to rest/protect the affected area during the healing process. Usually, most of the musculoskeletal injuries would heal within 3 months and after this period the systems that intensify the pain messages should turn off and the pain experience should end. However, sometimes after the body heal...ed, the messages stay heightened and when pain is ongoing, the brain can misinterpret the threat and intensify the pain further, without a real damage happening. #evisphysiotherapy #pain #persistentpain #physiofootscray #physio See more

24.01.2022 PAIN FACTS Episode 2 Do I need a scan? Maybe, but it is more likely that you don't.... Findings on scans are very common also in people without pain and in young people. In fact, only a small percentage of musculoskeletal injuries have findings on scans that are relevant. That means that incidental findings are extremely common and most of the time poorly reported findings (the use of 'scary' words like wear and tear, degeneration, bulging, protrusion...), can have a negative effect on people in terms of pain and recovery. Furthermore, it has been showed that scans most of the times do not explain pain and disability. Therefore, the answer to the question is is that there are specific clinical indications for when scans are needed, and for what types of scans should be performed. Your health care professionals will know the rules for when scans are necessary and will be able to help you with the meaning of the findings. #evisphysiotherapy #physio #pain #persistentpain #scans #xray #mri #physiofootscray

10.01.2022 Face-to-face consltation open again From Tuesday 12/05/2020 face-to-face will be available again at EVIS physiotherapy, with all the COVID19 precautions in place. We look forward to seeing you.

10.01.2022 Osteoarthritis: what it is and what you can do Osteoarthritis is a very common condition that affects the whole joint and mainly the articular cartilage, a shock absorber that spreads the load over its surface. In a normal cartilage there is a balance between the degeneration and regeneration process encouraged by healthy joint loading, but when this balance fails, osteoarthritic changes start. The main joints affected are knee, hip and hand that besides being painful with we...ight-bearing or movement, are also stiff mainly in the morning with restriction of movement and often clicking and crunching, warm and swollen and the surrounding muscles are tight. There are some factors that raise the probability to get osteoarthritis that are not modifiable such as age, sex and genes. Other causes can be changed to decrease the risk of osteoarthritis or improve the symptoms, like obesity (more load on the joints), physical inactivity (little or no load on cartilage is not enough for regeneration), muscle weakness (not enough support to the joint), sports related joint injuries, or work related joint injuries. How can you treat osteoarthritis? Education: learning about the condition s a good way to improve knowledge and confidence to manage it. Exercise: has multiple benefits for hearth and vessels, muscles, bones, weight reduction, pain relief. Everyone regardless age, injury or illness should be physically active 30 minutes a day that can be done in 10 minutes bouts. Weight reduction: for decreasing the load on the joint and improve function. Medications: for pain relief. Aids or assistive devices: such as braces, insoles, walking sticks. Self-management is the most important treatment method for osteoarthritis. This is the ability to care of yourself through your own behaviours. You might find that you need a little extra help to get active and here at EVIS Physiotherapy we can help with assessment, exercise, pain relief using manual therapy and dry needling, inspiration and motivation.

09.01.2022 Dear all, It's been a tough decision, but in the interest of public safety, after the latest news about the COVID19 spread, we have decided to close the clinic for face to face treatment from 23/03/2020, and pending any updates. However, the Telehealth option is available. Please read below for further information: What is Telehealth and how it works? Telehealth is the use of digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and mobile devices, to access ...health care services remotely and manage your health care. EVIS physiotherapy uses COVIU, a safe and easy to use platform, where you don't need to sign up or download any applications, just join a video call through a link that you will receive. You just need Internet connectivity, a device or computer with camera, speaker and microphone and the browser Google Chrome or Safari. During the video call appointment, re-assessmet, exercise prescription, check and progression, and information for self-management will be provided. During these uncertain times, we feel that this is the best option to keep helping our community while doing everything we can to try to control the situation and also protect the population more at risk. Stay safe.

09.01.2022 WE ARE STILL OPEN As we are all aware, metropolitan Melbourne has returned to stage 3 lock down. Physiotherapy, as part of healthcare, is one of the 4 essential services that can still be accessed during this new lock down. We will be business as usual, in conjunction with high standard of increased cleaning and hygiene processes. We will continue to observe safe social distancing at all times where possible. For those who are now unable to visit the clinic and need access to... our care from the comfort of your home or office, please remember that we offer Telehealth consultations that can be claimed on your health insurance. We are ready to help you through this tough time and will do our best to ensure you receive high quality of care. Stay safe #physiotherapy #physiofootscray #evisphysiotherapy http://www.evisphysiotherapy.com.au/

05.01.2022 Stage 4: Essential care only 'Melbourne physios are reminded that Stage 4 restrictions permit essential face to face treatment only, ie when the absence of such treatment would result in a significant change or deterioration in the patient’s functional independence that would necessitate an escalation of care.' Evis Physiotherapy will remain open for Telehealth consultations and essential face to face treatment only to support and protect our community.... Stay safe. #evisphysiotherapy, #physiofootscray, #covid19, #telehealth, #physiotherapy

02.01.2022 Tendinopathy, what you should know Tendinopathy can affect any tendon, but it is more common in the Achilles tendon (heel/calf), rotator cuff tendon (shoulder), patellar tendon (knee), elbow tendons (Tennis and Golfer's elbow) and base of the thumb tendon (de Quervain). Here's a list of what you should know about this condition:... - Tendinopathy can be caused by different factors: Sudden change in certain activities, biomechanics, systemic factors (age, menopause, high cholesterol..). - Rest only is not enough: the tolerance of the tendon to load is not increased, although the pain might settle. - Exercise is the most evidence based treatment as progressive loading promotes and increase tendon load capacity. - Passive treatment such as massage, ultrasound, injections, can give a temporary pain relief but for long term results exercise is vital. - Tendinopathy improves very slowly with exercises, therefore it is important to be patient and wait for more invasive treatments like injections or surgery. If you'd like to know more do not hesitate to contact us.

01.01.2022 Apologise for Google MyBusiness mistake. If you search for EVIS physiotherapy on google maps it comes up in Preston, but the correct address is: 27 Federal st Footscray VIC 3011. Hopefully it will be corrected soon.
