23.01.2022 Mental Health Resources Every person we know is having to adapt in some way at the moment, and change is not always easy. Layer on restrictions for the things we usually would do to make us feel better and all of a sudden we can feel as if we are not able to cope. There are some amazing mental health resources available.... Mental Health Care Plans A mental health care plan is a support plan for someone who is going through mental health issues. If a doctor agrees that you need additional support, you and the doctor will make the plan together. How many sessions are available on a mental health plan? If you have a mental health care plan, you are usually entitled to Medicare rebates for up to 10 individual and 10 group appointments with some allied mental health services in a year. The Australian Government has just announced it will provide 10 additional Medicare subsidised psychological therapy sessions for people subjected to further restrictions in areas impacted by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is really important for those who have have used their 10 sessions, you are now eligible for a further 10 sessions. How to get a mental health care plan (or extension) Book an appointment with your doctor. When you book, tell them you want to talk about a mental health care plan. That way, the doctor will know in advance and be able to set enough time. Then, at the appointment, talk to the doctor about what’s been going on. It helps to be as open as possible. If you’re feeling nervous, there’s no need to worry that’s a really normal response, but doctors see people for mental health care plans for all the time. They’re trained to listen, and except for in some special circumstances (which you can ask them about beforehand) what you tell them is confidential. Read more about online resources here If you or anyone you know needs support NOW call Lifeline on 131 114, or Beyond Blue's coronavirus mental wellbeing support service on 1800 512 348.

21.01.2022 Aromatherapy for Mental Wellbeing Workshop Saturday 10th October (World Mental Health Day) 10.00-11.00am... For more information and to book: https://tix.yt/H0y In this mini workshop you will discover simple ways to incorporate essential oils and other aspects of aromatherapy into everyday life for stress, fatigue, mood balance, insomnia and immune support. There would not be a single person untouched by the stress and challenge of COVID-19. The theme for mental health month this year is "tune in". Tune in to your senses and discover how aromatherapy can support the mental well-being of you and your family. It is well recognised how psychological factors can affect our physical health and conversely physical issues can have an impact on our mental state. Essential oils have the ability to influence our mood, behaviour and hormonal activity and can be a practical, useful tool to help cope with stress levels and associated symptoms. #aromatherapy #essentialoils #essentialoil #workshop #stress #osteo #osteopath #physio #physiotherapy #acupuncture #selfcare #wellness #nutrition #naturopathy #massage

16.01.2022 Sensory play Of all the sensory play activities we’ve tried during lockdown, the lentil bucket is the best! Lentils feel amazing.. so smooth! You can also use oats or rice.... Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain's pathways, which lead to the child's ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction. #sensory #development #sensoryplay #play #playingislearning #osteo #osteopath #physio #physiotherapy #acupuncture #selfcare #wellness #nutrition #naturopathy #aromatherapy #massage

12.01.2022 The extended iso has left many people feeling flat, but most of us have identified some positives that have emerged during this time, like increased down time, more time with family and children, lots of baking and craft, getting fit (at least in the first wave!), and tending to all those little jobs around the house (again at least in the first wave!) Thank goodness for Zoom! Our practitioners have been connecting throughout COVID via zoom- in place of our face-to-face cli...nic meetings. We continue to work throughout this period, offering unrestricted telehealth appointments for all services, and face to face consults for acute or severe presentations- contact us to chat to reception if you require a face to face appointment. Phone continue to be diverted to Clara, Melissa and Jacqui during this time, we are still here for you, contact us on 03 9687 3040 for treatment options during stage 4. #telehealth #osteo #physio #wellness #lockdown #workingfromhome #WFH

05.01.2022 Good Morning Melbourne Following on from our newsletter last week here are the most recent updates.

03.01.2022 #movementmondays ... for babies! Does your baby hang out with their mouth open? Babies are "obligate nose breathers", for the first month or two of life- meaning that they can only breathe through their noses; the only time newborns breathe through their mouths is when they are crying.... Some babies can develop an open mouth posture at rest (speak with your health care professional to ensure there is not a medial reason for this). A closed mouth posture has many benefits including: - Healthy dental development - the tongue resting at the roof of the mouth helps the palate widen, allowing for development of the nasal cavity and space for teeth without crowding. - Desensitisation of gag reflex - some babies with an open mouth/low tongue posture can have a hypersensitive gag reflex because the roof of the mouth is not used to anything touching it! (the stretch shown is great for this). - Healthy facial and jaw growth - Healthy head and neck posture - Healthy facial muscle tone - Nasal breathing filters and humidifies the air, that means less irritation and enlargement of on the tonsils, healthy blood O2 and CO2 levels ... and these are just a few of the benefits! Chin support (as shown) helps 1. Stretch muscles and connective tissue at the front of the neck (which often becomes tight in babies who have an open mouth posture). 2.The tongue rest on the roof of the mouth / palate - to desensitise the palate. Another helpful tool to promote closed mouth posture is to give your baby chewy toys and limit dummy/pacifier use. For more info, chat to Melissa McDougall our senior osteopath who loves to support people to move their mouths right. #osteopathy #osteopathyforbabies #tummytime #closeyourmouth #babiesofinstagram #lifewithbreath #breathe #babystyle

03.01.2022 Getting it DONE! Everyday this week we will bring you Osteopath Melissa McDougall's top tips for getting IT done - health, fitness and life! Today is tip #1 - Tidy and organise. ... If you are putting off beginning a task, prep for it. Tidy your desk, create a beautiful spot to meditate, dust off your yoga mat and therabands, flick though healthy cookbooks. Get you head in the zone, and often action will follow. #getitdone #osteo #osteopath #physio #physiotherapy #acupuncture #selfcare #wellness #prevention #nutrition #naturopathy #aromatherapy #massage #health #yarraville #yarravillevillage

03.01.2022 Do you have one of these little bottles from your treatment with Sonya? If you are unsure how best to use the oil blend contact Sonya to discuss. Many blends have various benefits and applications. For example, during your consult and treatment you may have chosen essential oils to help improve your sleep. ... Now you are sleeping better but have increased muscular tension or headaches. This same blend may still be beneficial. Alternatively, if you’d love some more of your personalised blend, larger quantities can be purchased or the same blend made into an aroma roll-on or inhaler. We know you are missing your massages - Sonya is missing you too and can’t wait to get back into clinic! #aromatherapy #aromatherapymassage #essenialoil #massageoil #wellness #yarraville #yarravillevillage
