25.01.2022 . . A bit about the importance of Ankle Mobility . .... How good is yours? . . We see this as a main issue here at Greater Western Health, learn how to help avoid restricted ankle ROM and possible compensations that may arise.. #greaterwesternhealth #podiatry #physiotherapy #squats

25.01.2022 Sitting... The Silent Killer You may not think you sit much? But have a good think The average (American) sits for 6.5 hours a day... ... So what does this do? Our hip flexors the muscles at the front of the hips adapt to this shortened position and tighten up, now this poses issues with our posture. Most commonly causing a tilt foward at our hips. Having this restricts use of important muscles such as the Glutes and then causes issues down the chain. Here @tommygalea demonstrates a stretch that can be done to offset the amount of time we sit. 1min for every hour of sitting per side. Now sitting can be broken down into two categories. 1 - Non modifiable sitting, such as driving, and 2 - modifiable sitting, such as at work where we can use a stand up desk. So when we can modify sitting this is encouraged. Maybe even try sitting in a stretch pose or something! Rant over. #greaterwesternhealth #health #wellbeing #crossfit #physiotherapy #podiatry Information in this post was inspired by @thefootcollective

21.01.2022 Leg Length Difference . . Although many people have a LLD and compensate fine, this issue can also be a huge factor in back pain, hip pain and many foot conditions as well. .... . Good news is this can be helped!! We have even helped a lady who went in for hip surgery with a previous LLD and ended up with a larger LLD because there was an error with the length of the Prosthesis.. . . #podiatry #physiotherapy #greaterwesternhealth See more

19.01.2022 The Dreaded Tight Calves . . It is very easy to just focus on the gastrocnemius muscle and soleus muscle when we talk about tightness in this area, however there are many muscles that originate in the back side of the lower leg.. ! .... . Many practitioners also just focus on treating and releasing the calves when the issue is due to inactive muscles - usually around the hip . . So if it becomes an ongoing issue, Get Assessed, and dont just Guess! . . Happy Tuesday #greaterwesternhealth #physiotherapy #podiatry #health #crossfit #strength #calves

15.01.2022 Osteoarthritis - A very commonly diagnosed condition especially by GPs when this is not actually the case. Most people as they age will have signs of degeneration in their lower back, or knees or hips show up in an x-ray. This however does not mean this is the cause of their pain. If after being assessed appropriately it is arthritic pain, there are many things to try to manage the pain without jumping straight into knee replacements, or resting 24/7. The body is designed... to move and wants to move and usually healthy appropriate movement helps with Arthritis pain. If you know someone with arthritis, send them our way for a look before considering surgery! #podiatry #physiotherapy #arthritis #greaterwesternhealth #health #correctiveexercise #movement

14.01.2022 In-Toeing . . A common issue we see parents bring their children in for. Some cases more severe than others. .... . It is normal for a child to go through different developmental stages as they age and it is normal for a child between the age of 2-4 to look more internally rotated. That being said, if this is excessive or you notice this interrupting daily activities, get an assessment by your local Podiatrist. . . There may be postural issues that need addressing whilst they are young! . . #GREATERWESTERNHEALTH #podiatry #physiotherapy #pigeontoed #happyfeet #posture #correctiveexercise See more
