25.01.2022 Tight buttock muscles? Try this figure-four stretch: 1. Lie on your back with your knees bent 2. Place your right ankle over your left knee 3. Grab behind your left thigh and pull it towards you... 4. This will stretch your glutes on the right-side 5. Hold for 45-60 seconds, relax and repeat on the opposite side For extra intensity, try this stretch in a seated position (as pictured). If back and hip pain persist, then give us a call on 6571 1211 and ask our friendly staff how we can help. #chiro #chiropractic #glutestretch #tightglutes

24.01.2022 Anatomy fact: There are 26 bones in the human foot. Thats one for each letter of the alphabet. Crazy huh?! Who knew this fact? If you did, post a below (and well done for putting your best foot forward! ) #chiro #chiropractic #humananatomy #foot

24.01.2022 IT’S EXERCISE TIME The plank strengthens your spine, rhomboids, trapezius and abdominal muscles, all of which improve your posture! So what are you waiting for? Lie on your front and push your toes into the ground, then plant your palms or elbows directly underneath your shoulders. Push yourself up so that your back forms a straight line. Look at a spot on the floor just beyond your hands to keep your neck and head in a neutral position. Hold it for as long as feels comfort...able, just as long as you keep good form #chiro #chiropractic #chiropractor #exercisetime #exercisemotivation #exerciseroutine #chiro #strengthtraining

23.01.2022 If you have headaches, we may adjust your spine to address this issue. However, we may not focus solely on the upper spine and neck! The lumbar spine (your lower spine) is home to spinal cord tissue and nerves which affect communication between the brain and the legs. Sometimes, interferences can cause headaches, so this is just one of the reasons why we always assess the body as a whole, instead of focusing on one area alone. If you are experiencing pain, then please give us a call on 6571 1211 and let us help you.

Many people suffer in silence with depression, and you just never know how deep this goes. Be a friend to someone today and offer an ear and a shoulder. You could make a huge difference to someones life. #ruok #ruokday #mentalhealth

21.01.2022 Did you know that pain in your chest, back or shoulder could be caused by an issue in your liver or gallbladder? They might not seem related, but if you have gallstones or swelling in either organ then this can cause pressure that will lead to pain under your rib cage, in your back or in your shoulder blade. It’s all to do with how the body is wired inside. When you come to see a chiropractor, we will take a thorough medical history to help us to identify any possible causes ...of your pain. It isn’t always as simple as it might first seem! #backpain #chestpain #chiropractor #bodyfacts #healthfacts

This is when a tendon in your rotator cuff rubs against the acromion, a bony extension of the shoulder blade that forms the roof of your shoulder. This causes pain and inflammation.

16.01.2022 If you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed, square breathing is a great technique to calm and focus your mind. Close your eyes and visualise a square.

Exhale for four along the bottom line, then hold for four as your mind’s eye moves up the left side. When you reach the top, begin again.

14.01.2022 Finding yourself sitting frequently? Between working at your desk and leisure time spent in front of the TV or games console, it’s easy to do.

Flatten your back to the floor by rolling your pelvis backward (imprinted spine) 3. Hold that position whilst you lift your pelvis into the air, creating a straight line between your shoulders and knees, maki...ng sure not to put excess pressure on the head and neck 4. Hold for 45-60 seconds, relax and repeat Say goodbye to tight hips! #chiro #chiropractic #tighthips #bridgeexercise

11.01.2022 The Word of the Month for February is Facet. The facet joints of the spine - also known as the zygapophyseal joints (try saying that fast! ) are what allow and restrict movement in your back.

09.01.2022 It’s word of the month time! ‘Cholesterol’ is a substance produced by the body and is an important ingredient in creating healthy cells. Be careful though, because too much cholesterol in the body is unhealthy and leads to the formation of waxy plaques that clog up your arteries. This is a recipe for cardiovascular disease and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Are you eating healthy and exercising daily? Ensure you do to keep your levels low and your body healthy! #chiro #chiropractic #wordofthemonth #cholesterol
