25.01.2022 A great start to a Monday

24.01.2022 New office location. Opposite J B Hi Fi and Coles

24.01.2022 Welcoming Leaf to my family if one. I officially became a cat lady, it was only a matter of time.

24.01.2022 Missing all those great relationships moments

24.01.2022 At least one of use is putting some effort into their self grooming atm

24.01.2022 Practice what you preach, having a background in resistance training, strength and conditioning for sprint cycling, competing in figure sculpting, working in the fitness industry since I was 16 and being a qualified exercise physiologist contributes to great personal experience in regards to exercise prescription.

24.01.2022 Stumbled upon some great charts and guidelines regarding training load. As a physio we are always addressing concepts of load and capacity and whether an injury has occurred due to an increase in load or a reduction in capacity. This is a great chart by Francois Gazzano explaining the relationships #physio #fitness #northsydneyphysio #functionandform

23.01.2022 Some days its just like your birthday only better when you get to open packages like this! #northsydneyphysio #physiolife #strengthandconditioning #sissysquat #functionandform

23.01.2022 Leaf finding the only spare patch of carpet or improvising with lack of bed options

23.01.2022 Find purpose for all the toothbrushes, tooth paste, and toiletries you collect from hotels whilst on your travels. The Wayside Chapel give them to the homeless and other people in need. Thank you to my lovely clients for parting with their stash for a good purpose! #waysidechapel #smalleffortscount #sydneysgrowinghomeless

22.01.2022 Finally! ThAnk you for all your support and patience awaiting this move which has been a little too laborious. Special thanks to @tesslloyd42 for valuable advice and information, @stuart.purvis.1062 for a list of handyman duties as long as my arm, to @aliblakey and @lizward94 for the great bubble wrapping, and to the three magic moving fairies on Saturday who just turned up @vickyh.p @frankdeb63 @stuart.purvis.1062 and helped tremendously in getting everything ready for business today. New studio is still A work in progress but functional. Will post photos once the fit out is complete. Thank you also to all of you who offered to help, finally getting the lease done late Friday night made organizing very difficult. Its been a rough few weeks but I believe, well worth it!

22.01.2022 As a physiotherapist I see a lot of patients who experience neck pain which is often associated with restricted movement. I believe an essential component to the treatment process is to assess the quality and range of movement apply the intervention and then reassess. In this photograph you can see the head laterally flexing to the right to create the appearance of right rotation, usually there is joint restriction on the left facet joints creating this movement impairment. In the bottom photo, after treatment, you can see a more upright head posture and less straining of the neck muscles to create rotation. #functionandform #northsydneyphysio #lovemyjob #cantchange whatyoudontassess

21.01.2022 The New location is now up and running. Functional but a lot of fine tuning to come. The new space is 40% bigger, has twice as much light and looks out west, rather than south as before. New additional equipment to come. Very fortunate to have a space and work practices that are easier to manage covid safety. The studio is only occupied by one practitioner at a time and at most two other pt clients and during physio sessions there is only two people in the entire space. T...his makes it much easier to comply with physical distancing. Cleaning occurs twice per day to allow drying of the equipment, which again optimizes covid safety. Therefore the exposure to others is kept at a bare minimum. Following physiotherapy sessions all linen is replaced with fresh linen and all surfaces are cleaned. This new building has a hand sanitizing station on entry to and there is a wash basin immediately to the left of the Studio door. Even the door requires no touching as it is electronically locked and will be opened for you on arrival. Each pt client is asked to workout with a Towel large enough to cover any surface they lay upon. Hand sanitizer is also offered during the session and on completion. Clients do not attend whilst unwell and are encouraged to employ good coughing and sneezing strategies. With new research bringing to light the air born nature of this virus it is even more important to have good airflow, particularly circulation of fresh air. The window and fans in addition to the air conditioning when in use. #covidsafe #aircirculation #phyio #phyionorthsydney #personaltrainingcovidsafe #physicaldistancing See more

20.01.2022 Shared enthusiasm goes along way to helping you and a friend/partner achieve your goals. This January we are offering the one time price of $800 for 10 paired Pt sessions. Motivation sets you on the path, setting routine and establishing consistency is key to seeing results. It is routine set by motivation years ago that results in morning terry brushing. Healthy Habits are exactly that habitual routines. Training with a partner can work towards establishing a great routine.

19.01.2022 Happy New Year! The New Year is often a great time to take stock, evaluate and make plans. Creating momentum is really important when motivation is high. Setting habits and routines that reflect your values and your purpose. What do you want you life to look like in 2021? Stronger Fitter Healthier Resolving Injuries

19.01.2022 Gratitude is remembering to stop and smell the flowers. Thank you for the Congrats on the new office flowers from the lovely @nsmit0005

18.01.2022 The Apex Building

17.01.2022 Havent had a day off for awhile and still a lot to do for another few weeks. Had help today from the amazing @vickyh.p and @stuart.purvis.1062, painting with some really great colours, and less paint is@in the carpet when Im not painting. So grateful to these two wonderful people, always so happy and positive too.

17.01.2022 Cat life! A balcony fall from 5 stories up and missing in action for over an hour and a half. Salter Harris grade 4 fracture to lateral epicondyle of the femur was the main outcome. Poor Leaf, dont know how people with children do it. #catfractures #balconyfalls #catinjuries #countingblessings

15.01.2022 May just have to order a bigger serving. #food4fitnessmeals

15.01.2022 The Sissy Squat with full lay out variation, a great way to challenge the rectus femoris muscle and abdominals. A great advanced exercise demonstrates well here by this lovely client today. #squatvariations #rectusfemoris #core #functionandform #physio #physionorthsydney

14.01.2022 Poor lady at the train station today cut her leg meters from the chemist and they had no idea what to do, and tried to sell her opsite dressing as she’s standing with blood pouring out her leg . Overcoming your own aversion to blood or any other phobia to help someone else is to be human

14.01.2022 Saturday Madness

14.01.2022 Complying with Coronavirus guidelines to stay safe while training at Function and Form Physiotherapy and Exercise https://functionandform.net/function-form-complies-with-co/

13.01.2022 Bone Density and Resistance Training. This delightful lady began working with me in 2015 after receiving her bone density results and observing a significant decrease in both in her Femoral and Spine values. Over the last 5 years she has worked steadily, attending one on one physiotherapy exercise sessions where a program is set for the next fortnight and then following this program at the local gym. Through her efforts she has made improvements in her BMD and held off the decline expected with the aging process. #functionandform #bmd #osteoporosis #resistancetraining #physionorthsydney

13.01.2022 Well someone was flat out at work today..... I guess this means therell be no sleeping tonight

13.01.2022 Finishing strong today #functionandform #muscledefinition #triceps #northsydney #pt #physiolife

13.01.2022 The little things in life create such big smiles. The grace and innocence of our furry friends.

13.01.2022 Early Boxing Session for this one.

12.01.2022 SOME PEOPLE might even say, this is the best part of the workout #fitness #motivation #pt #functionandform #catlife

11.01.2022 Managing partial weight bearing in humans can be challenging and extra difficult for four legged patients. Restraining the impulse to jump and run when thats what is normal is not easy and equally why it can be easier to opt for surgery. Fracture healing is actually quicker in non operated fractures because small micro movement between the two fractured bones aids healing. This is why plaster casts are best set with some small space. Not only to allow circulation! Wil...l be looking into splinting options, plastic removable casting once the swelling has settled. Keeping this patient medicated on anti inflammatories and sedatives to get a good head start on healing and recovery. Have also commenced some passive joint mobilizations of other limbs and some assisted / supported walking for both physical and mental health. Physio skills come in handy when youre looking at promoting healing and muscle and bone recovery. Surgical options can have risks, in this case 20% develop sciatica, 30% develop quads shorting and unfortunately due to this type of fracture, poor Leaf may develop arthritis with any option.

11.01.2022 First wound dressing today and had my first look at the stitches. I think I counted a lucky 13, not bad for a tiny mole , having a few tiny skin cancers cut out over time could create an interesting effect, and probably not the one I was going for when I was tanning. Spray tans looking even better right now.

11.01.2022 Open for business both physio and personal training. For those who seem to be confused gyms are being closed because they are venues were social distancing is too challenging and exceed the numbers of people that are recommended to gather in one spot. NOT because they have gym equipment. At Function and Form clients access the studio individually and therefore social distancing is maintained. The equipment is cleaned in between each client and linen replaced after each physiotherapy consultation. Feeling lucky that clients will be able to maintain their strength, fitness and mental health during these really stressful times #stillopen

11.01.2022 P#imp my ride cat style #ott

08.01.2022 Best 10 bucks Ive ever spent

07.01.2022 Had a Skin Cancer cut off my leg today. Definitely reconsidering future tanning. Dr Samuel Seit did a great job, and utilizes cutting edge technology to locate, diagnose and monitor moles. Decided not to filter any of these photos, apologies if anyone is offended #melanomaawareness #skincancer #catlife

05.01.2022 Couldnt decide on the red one or the green one, brown one still to come.
