25.01.2022 [MEET MATT] Hi I’m Matt and I am joining Full Circle Osteopathy in February. I am passionate about helping people improve their well-being and achieve their goals. I have a keen interest in sports having played junior football and senior cricket . I really enjoy meeting new people and believe in building stronger more resilient bodies to overcome pain and dysfunction . When not in the clinic you will find me on the golf course, playing video or board games or enjoying... a movie with popcorn . [True fact] Although I’m from Melbourne I don’t enjoy coffee #osteopathy #ascotvale #melbourne # See more

24.01.2022 Great work by Ascot Vale Pharmacy, finding ways to support our health and hygiene by making hand sanitiser

22.01.2022 Ready to exercise those arms? If you’re looking to increase the strength and size of your biceps, a simple bicep curl can be added to your routine. Simply hold a weight in your hand with the palm facing forward and elbow tucked in towards your torso. Bending the elbow, bring the weight up to the shoulder and then return to the starting position. Repeat. Need some help? Speak to us next time you are in and we will be happy to help out.... #TopTip : Control the movement as you lift AND lower to get the most out of the exercise #osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #exercise #bicepcurl

22.01.2022 After a relatively shitty week had by most it’s lovely to have something so heartwarming, community orientated with a sense of connection

20.01.2022 A great way to explain to kids the importance of hand washing!

19.01.2022 Based on the recent DHHS advice we are now closed for routine, non-urgent face to face appointments for the duration of Stage 4 Lockdown. Face to Face care must only be provided if the absence of, or delay of this care, would result in your condition taking you to the emergency department of a hospital. If you have an appointment booked in from now until Monday the 14th of September, you will be contacted over the coming 5 days to reschedule.... We will be in contact again tomorrow to outline what classifies as an emergency appointment and how you can go about booking in with our team. We are saddened to deliver this news. However, we are a part of something bigger than just our own community and we are committed to fighting COVID-19 together. #covid #stage4lockdown #alliedhealth #osteopathy #ascotvale #unionroad

17.01.2022 With this year not quite turning out as we had imagined, with lots of families having their Christmas plans interrupted this year, food can be a great reminder of the season ahead. Foods can invoke memories and bring those not able to make it or no longer with us, back for the holidays. In our family, its not Christmas without vinegar and brown sugar pickled pork. This is such a testament to Christmas in our household that my sister living in Canada messaged at 3am from the... butcher making sure she was getting the right cut of meat. What foods bring back Christmas for you? And Who’s going to make the gravy? #christmas #howtomakegravy #family #food #urchristmas #unionroad #osteopathy

13.01.2022 Approximately 20% of people have so-called perfect feet. For the rest of us however, investing in orthotics or supportive shoes can go a long way towards correcting foot-related problems and preventing pain. How long have you owned your current runners? If you’d like us to check out your feet, your walking/running posture and give advice on the best type of shoes, please come and see us we’re happy to help!... #osteo #osteopathy #supportiveshoes

Now here is Nonna with some advice.

13.01.2022 Maintaining bone strength is important, especially as we get older. Did you know that certain food can actually weaken your bones? These include high sodium foods, sugary snacks, soda, caffeine, alcohol and red meat. Now we’re not saying cut these out of your diet for good, but instead, let’s all have them in moderation! Now who’s had their daily intake of calcium today? #osteo #osteopathy #bonestrength

12.01.2022 We are still open. Today, tomorrow and Wednesday we will remain open. We will know more about the rest of the week later today and will keep you updated. You can still travel further than 5km to see us and receive care as this is an essential service. We will now be wearing goggles or a visor as it is now mandatory for us to have eye protection. ... We ask that you continue to fill out our covid-19 screening questionnaire. Make sure you stay safe, wear a mask and check in with loved ones. #unionroad #ascotvale #osteopathy

08.01.2022 Initial consults can be daunting, but they shouldn’t be! Here is a brief overview of what to expect during your first consult. At the beginning, your osteopath will ask questions about your current issue and symptoms. They may also ask about your health history, any medications you are taking, as well as factors that may not appear to be directly related to your problem. Your osteopath will then conduct a full assessment involving diagnostic, orthopaedic or neurological test...s to postural assessments, movement and functional assessments, in order to understand your body fully. It’s handy to know, that you don’t need a referral to see your osteo! Simply make an appointment and come as you are. Just make sure to bring your healthcare information and any scan results you currently have for your condition. #osteo #osteopathy #initialconsultation

05.01.2022 Did you know that 1 in 20 people will live with a rare disease at some point in their life and despite this, there are no cures for the majority of rare diseases in the world, therefore many go undiagnosed. Today is Rare Disease Day. So let’s help increase awareness of rare diseases while encouraging researchers and decision makers to address the needs of those living with them in 2020. After all, it’s a leap year this year, so it’s about time we leap over these challenges together! #rarediseaseday #osteo #osteopathy #ascotvale

04.01.2022 One of the most common injuries we see here in the clinic is the rotator cuff injury. The rotator cuff is one of the most important components of the shoulder. It is comprised of a group of muscles and tendons that hold the bones of the shoulder joint together. Injury can occur when stress is placed on the area, or if the area is weak or tight! A simple stretch for the rotator cuff is crossover arm stretch. Below is a quick rundown on how to do it. 1. Lift one arm so that i...t is parallel to the floor and extend it straight without locking it. 2. Hold the wrist of the extended arm with the opposite hand. 3. Gently pull the arm across the front of the body, trying to hug the chest with the arm. 4. Hold the stretch for 15 seconds before slowly releasing it. Repeat on the other side. #osteo #osteopathy #rotatorcuff #shoulderinjury #shoulderpain

04.01.2022 What are the most common conditions an osteo will treat over Christmas? Given the holiday season is usually a time for clearing out the garage and playing silly games with the kids, lower back, shoulder and neck pain will most likely top our lists. Oh wait a normal day at the office for us then! If you pull, strain or aggravate your body this silly season, don’t be proud let us know. The last thing you need to deal with this Christmas is unwanted pain! #osteopathy #osteo #babyosteo #sillyseason #lowbackpain #shoulderpain #neckpain #urchristmas #unionroad #ascotvale

02.01.2022 When you exercise, you don't just build muscle and improve endurance. You also build and maintain the strength of your bones. You may hear health professionals call this bone mass and density. One of the best ways to strengthen your bones is through weight bearing exercises. Start with gentle bodyweight exercises such as squats and lunges and if you feel up to it, gradually increase to added weights by incorporating dumbbells as well! #osteo #osteopathy #bonedensity #bonestrength

02.01.2022 Total love and respect for all these osteopaths Matt and I were lucky enough to volunteer with treating the CFA volunteers firefighters and DELWP government employees at the Swan Reach base camp. We were honoured to be able to do our small part to make their jobs a little easier. So many CFA were amazed that we had travelled from Melbourne to help out, but when questioned they often had come from further out, including Mildura, Ballarat and even Warrnambool. East Gippsland ha...s been severely affected by the bushfires and whilst there are areas open for business they will be needing long term support to rebuild their communities. Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund is a local charity that has been supporting East Gippsland for many years. If you are looking to make a difference at a local level it is worth donating to.
