21.01.2022 It is day 5 of Womens Health Week and today we are talking about exercise and osteoporosis. Worldwide one in three women over 50 will have an osteoporotic fracture. Osteoporosis makes our bones more brittle and weak, and therefore more likely to be fractured or break. Regular physical activity and exercise is important in improving and maintaining bone density. Our bones become stronger when a certain amount of impact and strain are placed on them. Our muscles also improve ...in size and strength with exercise. However the right type of exercise needs to be performed and exercise needs to be consistent and regular to gain full benefit. At different stages of our life we want to exercise to do different things for our body and bones. During childhood and adolescence the focus is on building bone density and strength. During adulthood and mid age we want to maintain both muscle strength and bone density. As we get older our focus becomes more about minimising bone loss and doing exercises that also challenge our balance to help minimise our risk of falling. It is important to do exercise that is weight bearing, that is on your feet and supporting your own weight. This type of exercise with stimulate the bones in your spine, hips and legs making the stronger. Good examples are brisk walking, jogging/running, aerobics, dancing, ball sports, and exercises such as squats and lunges. While exercise that challenges our balance wont specifically strengthen our bones, they are still very important as they can help prevent falls. Tai Chi is a great example of an exercise that can improve your balance. Or you can do simple exercise at home such as standing on one leg, toe to heel walking, or exercises that require you to move both arms and legs. For best results exercise should be performed about three times a week, should slowly and progressively become harder, should be varied in type and intensity. And as always have fun!

18.01.2022 Great article talking about the impact of pregnancy and childbirth on our bodies, and how Physiotherapy can help in so many ways.

16.01.2022 A big thank you for these delicious treats made for us by a special patient. They were very much appreciated and enjoyed!

15.01.2022 Following on from Womens Health Week, here is a great article about good bladder health for all women. https://www.female.com.au/bladder-health-101.htm

13.01.2022 The Australian Physiotherapy Association has today won a hard fought battle ensuring Pilates-informed exercises prescribed by physiotherapists as part of an individualised program will continue to receive rebates in one-on-one, group and class settings. What this means is that Physio taught exercise sessions will continue to be recognised as Physio treatment and therefore rebatable by health funds.

13.01.2022 September is Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome Awareness Month and we want to help spread awareness about what IC is and is not. Symptoms of Inters...titial Cytitis can mimic urinary tract infections. Despite negative cultures, many people still get prescribed by antibiotics. Unneeded antibiotic use can cause imbalance in the gut and lead to gastrointestinal distress. A commonly prescribed antibiotic called ciproflaxocin can have significant side effects, including muscle tearing and peripheral neuropathy. These medications have a place when there is infection but often people with IC/PBS do not have an infectious cause of their symptoms. Pelvic floor dysfunction is common in people with IC/PBS and pelvic floor physical therapy can help!

13.01.2022 This week Olivia Proudfoot shows you a bird-dog exercise. This amazing exercise targets good posture, and core stability. Kneeling on hand and knees with your spine long and a small arch in your lower back. Start by slowly lifting one arm off the floor. Make sure you keep good posture the whole time. You can make this exercise harder by straightening out the opposite leg. Repeat x10 times alternating sides. #exerciseoftheweek #bondijunctionphysio #fluidmotion

11.01.2022 Exercise For Your Pelvic Floor The pelvic floor is the group of muscles and ligaments that sits at the bottom of our pelvis. These muscles have many jobs including holding our organs including bladder, bowel, uterus (womb) and intestines inside, keeping us continent which means stopping us from peeing, pooing and even passing wind when we dont want to, allowing us to laugh, cough and jump without wetting ourselves, and allowing us to have satisfying sex. Our pelvic floor mus...cles can become weaker for many reasons, but pregnancy and child birth can have a significant impact on the strength of our pelvic floor. The other factor that has a big influence is our hormones, and many women find that after they go through menopause they suddenly have more pelvic floor problems. What we do know is that there is a lot of evidence that supports strengthening these muscles and that really just doing some simple exercises can have a big impact. The challenge is the fact that you need to stick with these exercises for at least 3 months. It is also important to be able to learn how to use our pelvic floor correctly during day to day activities and when exercising. This will help to make sure we get the right pelvic floor support when we need it most. If you are unsure if you are doing your pelvic floor exercises correctly, it is best to go and see a pelvic floor physio, such as here at Bondi Junction Physio. Pelvic floor physios are also perfectly skilled at addressing many other issues that can affect us including pain and sexual dysfunction, often without needing surgery or more invasive treatment.

10.01.2022 Who knows the most scientifically proven way to get the most out of your brain? If you said EXERCISE then you are right! Exercise provides so many benefits to our brain, our mood and our ability to focus. A single moment of exercise can boost serotonin and dopamine levels- hormones that help boost our mood, fight depression, and give us a sense of reward. When we exercise we get a flush of fresh oxygen to our muscles and brain, helping to clear away carbon dioxide and other ...metabolites and helping to fight that brain fatigue that we can all commonly feel. This brain cleanse can last up to 2 hours after only 20 minutes of aerobic exercise. Regular exercise improves our executive function which is our ability to plan tasks and our higher level thinking. This includes our ability to focus attention, inhibition control, task switching and goal setting and management. This positive effect of exercise is seen for people of all ages, and longer term benefits can be seen within months of starting to exercise. There is also strong evidence that regular exercise can prevent ageing changes to our brain and boost our short and long-term memory. Regular aerobic exercise - the type that gets your heart pumping, makes you a little puffed and a little sweaty - increases the number of cells in the hippocampus (the area of the brain associated with short and long-term memory). By making this area of your brain stronger and bulkier you can therefore slow down age related brain changes, especially those associated with dementia. So what are you waiting for, there is no better time to start exercising than today!

09.01.2022 Well done Ron and all our other fabulous clients on running the City to Surf on the weekend!!

07.01.2022 With one in three women who have ever had a baby experiencing some degree of incontinence, bladder health is an issue that is important to all women. A common complaint that women will make is that they have a weak bladder. This can mean different things to different women. Either that they cant hold as much in their bladder and are running to the toilet all the time and in some cases leaking urine. Or for other women it can mean leaking urine when they cough, sneeze, or run... and jump. While a weak pelvic floor is often thought to be the cause of these bladder issues, this is not always the case. A pelvic floor that is working too hard all the time can also result in both urgency and stress incontinence. And sometimes its just that the pelvic floor cant contract quickly enough for the situation. So as you can see its not about just doing pelvic floor exercises, but rather doing pelvic floor exercises that are right for you. Pelvic floor physiotherapy has been shown to be an effective first line management of incontinence, and what is even better is that there are no side effects to treatment! So dont be embarrassed and reach out to a qualified pelvic floor physiotherapist, such as Rebecca Reicher, for some help as it can make a huge difference in your life and it is never too late to improve. #weakbladder #pelvicfloor #womenshealthweek #pelviclfoorphysio #exercise

06.01.2022 Australian Physiotherapy Association's Chris Maher highlights the limited evidence surrounding how we sit or stand at work. And if there is a quick take home it's that there is no one correct way to sit or stand at work. https://www.smh.com.au//a-difficult-position-experts-quest

05.01.2022 September 4-8th is Womens Health Week. This week is all about women prioritising themselves and taking care of their needs, health and wellness. Because as Jean Hailes said if a woman is in good health, her family, her community and the society around her also benefit. Over the coming week I will talk about issues important to women, and offer tips and suggestions about what we can all do to be the best we can be, live well, and achieve our goals whatever they may be. So ...to start, lets talk about exercise and physical activity. When life gets busy and complicated exercise is one of the first things that is dropped. But exercise is important for so many reasons, it is essential for heart health, weight management, bone health, stress management and is also fun just to name a few. One of the common issues many people have is that we often start an exercise program too intensely and end up injuring ourselves causing us to stop. This can be avoided by starting a new exercise program gently and increasing the intensity slowly and steadily, the suggested pacing is to increase by 10% each week. It also helps by finding a type of exercise that you enjoy, as well as including friends in your exercise program. What are your tips to fitting in exercise, and keeping the routine going? #womenshealthweek #bonedensity #hearthealth #wellness #strongwomen #exercise

05.01.2022 When can I start exercising again? and What type of exercise can I do? These are two questions commonly asked by a new mum. While there are no absolute answers to these questions, there are some simple guidelines that can be followed. It is really important to make sure that any exercise or activity doesnt cause pain or discomfort. You should not experience any urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, or pelvic heaviness when exercising. Other factors that can affect when and... how you start exercising include caesarean delivery, pelvic floor injury during delivery, and separation of the tummy muscles also known as diastasis rectus abdominus. In the first few weeks after giving birth you can start walking at a comfortable pace. You should also be doing pelvic floor exercises and gentle activation of the deep abdominal muscles. These gentle exercises will help the abdominal and pelvic muscles recover. You can start doing pelvic floor exercises a day or so after giving birth. It is recommended that you wait a few months before doing impact or higher intensity exercise such as running, ball sports, or weight training. This is to protect and allow complete recovery of our muscles, ligaments and connective tissue from pregnancy and childbirth. It is also important to make sure that you can continue to breathe normally during any exercise. If you find yourself holding your breath, then it is too hard. Breath holding creates a bracing action of your abdominals and this will push out the lower belly and increase pressure onto your bladder and pelvic floor. If you are looking to start exercising or have noticed leaking or pain when exercising it is recommended to see a Womens Health Physio for an assessment and recommendations on what is safe and right for you. #StrongMums #MumFit #PelvicFloorFirst #WomensHealthWeek

01.01.2022 Good mental health is essential for everyone. Unfortunately women experience higher rates of some mental health issues including depression and anxiety than men. While depression and anxiety can affect a woman at any time in her life, pregnancy, childbirth, infertility, and menopause are all periods of increased risk. Did you know, that there is also an increased risk of experiencing anxiety or depression if you have chronic pain? The reasons are multi-faceted, but include f...ear, worry, sleep loss, and greater difficult with memory and concentration. This is to a large extent due to the fact that the brain is already more occupied by dealing with long term pain messages. It is important know that there are many effective treatment strategies available, not all of which include medication. Most people with the right care and support recover fully. So dont be afraid to speak up to your family, doctor, or physio, and start the conversation and reach out for support.

01.01.2022 Welcome to Womens Health week 2018! This week Im going to talk about exercise, how to safely start exercising, how exercise if good for us in so many ways, and how we can exercise safely while protecting our pelvic floor. Now we all know that we should be exercising but somehow our lives seem so busy that we struggle to fit it in. Also we often dont know where to start, we tend to get too intense too quickly, hurt ourselves and then stop. And we stop because if we didnt ...exercise we wouldnt have injured ourselves, well not in that moment anyway. The first step in starting to exercise is finding something that you enjoy. So just remember no matter how much other people rave about it, if you dont like swimming, or running dont do it, but do find that something that you enjoy. The next step is starting slowly and at your level. If it has been a while since you have done any exercise start in small increments and slowly increase. The aim of starting an exercise routine is to continue it for the long term. There is no benefit starting at too high a level and then stopping because of injury, or that it is just too hard. Start at a level you can manage and then each week increase by 10%, this way you will find you will be exercising at a level you want in no time at all. Finally a few simple facts: Did you know that 5 minutes of exercise repeated 4 times over the course of a day has the same benefit as one 20 minute session. Also did you know that you burn the same number of calories walking for 1km, as if you ran that 1km! #WomensHealthWeek, #MyHealthFirst, #Exercise, #StrongWomen
