25.01.2022 Plantar fasciopathy is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a piece of thick tissue (similar to a tendon or ligament) that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. The inflammation is commonly caused by repetitive strain injury to that thick tissue. Things like excessive walking or running, or inappropriate shoes are common causes. Have you ever had pain in the arch of your foot? Give us a below (and then give us a call 5543 4254) ... we can help! #osteo #osteopathy #plantarfasciitis #grassrootshealthcare #canungra #scenicrimhealth #Canungrahealthandwellnesscentre #alliedhealth #optimalhealth

24.01.2022 Did you know we can help with your breathing? And THAT is important! A healthy diaphragm helps maximise your oxygen intake, with minimal effort. When it’s not working quite as it should, then your body begins relying on all its secondary breathing muscles (especially those around the neck). This can cause imbalances and muscle tightness, leading to pain in the neck, shoulders and upper back. So, if you’re experiencing tightness in any of these areas, come and see us we’ll g...et your breathing patterns sorted and have you breathing at max capacity again in no time. And exhale. #osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #diaphragm #breathing #grassrootshealthcare #canungra #scenicrimhealth #Canungrahealthandwellnesscentre #alliedhealth #optimalhealth

22.01.2022 It’s osteo word of the month time! This month’s word is ATLAS. And no, we don’t mean the book of maps. Atlas is the name given to the first vertebrae in the neck. It’s the bone which the skull sits on and is referred to as C1. It is shaped like a ring and has a close relationship to the second vertebrae, the Axis, or C2. Now, raise your hand if you knew about the Atlas? #osteo #osteopathy #bones #wordofthemonth #atlas #grassrootshealthcare #canungra #scenicrimhealth #Canungrahealthandwellnesscentre #alliedhealth #optimalhealth

19.01.2022 Love skiing? Have you heard of Skier’s thumb? Commonly seen in skiers, as well as rugby, netball and basketball players, it happens when the thumb is forced outwards beyond the limit of its movement range. The ligaments that hold the joint together at the base of the thumb sprain or tear leading to pain, swelling, and loss of function of the thumb which can affect the ability to use the hand in everyday tasks. Sprained your thumb recently? Never leave it to chance, come and see us today. #osteo #osteopathy #skiersthumb #canungraosteopath #canungra #grassrootshealthcare #optimalhealth

18.01.2022 De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is a condition that affects the thumb and your ability to use your hand properly.

See your osteo today if you have thumb or wrist pain.... #osteo #osteopathy #dequervains #tenosynovitis #grassrootshealthcare #canungra #optimalhealth

17.01.2022 You wouldn’t think it, but walking is actually a pretty complex activity! Did you know that you use around 200 muscles in just a single step? Walking uses the foot, leg, gluteal and hip muscles, plus a bunch of stabilising muscles to help keep you upright! Now, imagine having a small issue in just one or two of these muscles it can throw out your gait or walking pattern, causing imbalances and other issues, as well as pain. Don’t worry, because we can help fix your issues a...nd restore your normal function. Want to know more? Let us know below and we can schedule you an appointment! #osteo #osteopathy #gait #walking #grassrootshealthcare #canungra #scenicrimhealth #Canungrahealthandwellnesscentre #alliedhealth #optimalhealth

17.01.2022 Osteochondritis Dissecans or OCD is a joint condition that mainly affects children and adolescents. Many of the bones in our body are covered at the ends by smooth cartilage. Sometimes cracks in the cartilage and underlying bone cause fragments of cartilage to flap around or break off inside the joint. This can lead to inflammation, pain and locking when the joint is used. If your child has these symptoms, book an appointment here at Grassroots Healthcare and get checked today. What are some common pain spots that your child has complained about recently? #osteo #osteopathy #OCD #osteocondritisdissecans #canungraosteopath #canungra #grassrootshealthcare #optimalhealth

16.01.2022 Our Osteopathic founding father, Andrew Taylor Still, once said When you have adjusted the physical to its normal demands, nature supplies the remainder. A deeply important principle to osteopathy underpins this quote That structure governs function in the body. Osteopaths do not heal disease; we try to create the ideal environment for the body to heal itself. #osteo #osteopathy #AndrewTaylorStill #grassrootshealthcare #canungra #scenicrimhealth #Canungrahealthandwellnessc...entre #alliedhealth #optimalhealth #bodyresepect #bodyreverance #bodywisdom See more

14.01.2022 It’s exercise time! This month it is the chest press. A great exercise to increase strength in those pec muscles. Don’t have a gym bench or access to a barbell and weights? Fear not. You can perform this exercise on the floor with any appropriate object and still strengthen your chest. Try lying on your back, grab a medicine ball or other weighty object (remember not to go too heavy be safe) and lift the object into the air away from your body. Try 3 sets of 10 reps to begi...n with. Allow yourself 30-60 seconds between each set. Slowly progress over a few weeks and you’ll be feeling stronger in no time! #osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #exercise #chestpress #pec #workout #gym #grassrootshealthcare #canungra #scenicrim #wellness

14.01.2022 Protein junky? When we eat protein, our body breaks it down into small pieces called ‘amino acids’. These are the building blocks of life! The body uses them to make protein for growth and repair, as well as many other functions. Our bodies produce some of these amino acids (known as ‘non-essential amino acids’), but not all of them. We must get these ‘essential’ amino acids from the food we eat. #osteo #osteopathy #aminoacids #protein #canungraosteopath #canungra #grassrootshealthcare #optimalhealth

14.01.2022 RIBS RIBS RIBS Ribs are one of my absolute favourite places to treat as an osteopath. Treating ribs can create SO MUCH CHANGE to the whole body I would say it is often a to lasting healing. Problematic ribs often accompany spinal strains or shoulder problems. ... They can cause tension/pain through the back and travel along the line of the rib to front of the chest. The pain can be sharp and can affect the ability to get a good breath in or it can be like a constant pull/drag. Problem ribs can be very uncomfortable. It can make a huge difference to pain and function to have your ribs treated. Have you ever had your ribs treated? Call us today to book in for a whole body assessment including rib cage - structural and functional assessment and treatment. Humans have a total of 24 ribs, set out in 12 pairs. The ribs form a protective cage around our vital organs, including the heart, lungs and liver. The ribs are also an important part of our breathing. There are three main types of ribs: True ribs - these attach directly to the chest bone (aka sternum) False ribs - these attach indirectly to the chest bone via pieces of cartilage at the front of the rib cage Floating ribs - these literally ‘float’ at the back of our bodies and have no extension to the front. Our Osteopaths are very skilled at treating dysfunctional ribs. Breathe, breathe, breathe. Your ribs support your every breath! How amazing! #osteo #osteopathy #ribs #ribcage #canungraosteopath #canungra #grassrootshealthcare #optimalhealth

13.01.2022 Muscle fact: The SCM is a muscle that runs from the base of your skull, down the side of the neck and attaches to the chest and collar bones. It stands for: - Sterno - sternum or chest bone - Cleido - clavicle or collar bone - Mastoid - a bony bump on the base of the skull... This muscle helps to bend the neck sideways and forwards as well as rotate the head. It is also the main muscle involved with the condition ‘torticollis’.

11.01.2022 This month’s muscle madness focusses on the Triceps Brachii, or just ‘triceps’. This is a muscle found on the back of the upper arm. It helps to move the arm backwards and also straighten the elbow. The word triceps stands for ‘three-heads’, which refers to the three attachment points of the muscle in the arm and shoulder region. Interestingly, there is also another Triceps in the body: Triceps Surae. Comment below if you know where it is found (or just have a guess! ). #osteo #osteopathy #musclemadness #tricepsmuscle #triceps #grassrootshealthcare #canungra #scenicrimhealth #Canungrahealthandwellnesscentre #alliedhealth #optimalhealth

01.01.2022 The slogan for this year’s World Sleep Day is ‘Regular Sleep, Healthy Future’. We think this is the perfect slogan So many of us suffer from lack of sleep in this bustling world we live in. Regular and plentiful sleep is important to ensure our bodies repair from the daily grind and function at full efficiency each and every day! Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. How do you sleep? Avoiding blue light (from phones, tv or computer) after sunset can support normal melato...nin (sleep hormone) levels. You can do this by avoiding blue light OR grabbing yourself a pair of blue light blocker glasses! We are a huge fans! #osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #WSD #worldsleepday #sleep #grassrootshealthcare #canungra #scenicrim #wellness #bluelightblockers
