25.01.2022 Today, 10 October, is World Mental Health Day! This year's World Mental Health Day, comes at a time when our daily lives have changed considerably as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The past months have brought many challenges: for health-care workers, providing care in difficult circumstances, going to work fearful of bringing COVID-19 home with them; for students, adapting to taking classes from home, with little contact with teachers and friends, and anxious about their... futures; for workers whose livelihoods are threatened; for the vast number of people caught in poverty or in fragile humanitarian settings with extremely limited protection from COVID-19; and for people with mental health conditions, many experiencing even greater social isolation than before. And this is to say nothing of managing the grief of losing a loved one, sometimes without being able to say goodbye. The economic consequences of the pandemic are already being felt, as companies let staff go in an effort to save their businesses, or indeed shut down completely. Given past experience of emergencies, it is expected that the need for mental health and psychosocial support will substantially increase in the coming months and years. Investment in mental health programmes at the national and international levels, which have already suffered from years of chronic underfunding, is now more important than it has ever been. This is why the goal of this year’s World Mental Health Day campaign is increased investment in mental health.

24.01.2022 It's Christmas Eve! Don't forget to leave out cookies and milk for Santa!

21.01.2022 For our mid-week video we revisit Adam teaching us how to correctly perform the Clinical Pilates exercise the "Glute Bridge". This is a great exercise to try at home during isolation! Stay tuned to the page for more new Healing Hands Osteopathy videos soon!

20.01.2022 Healing Hands Osteopathy is excited to announce that Steph is back from maternity leave! Baby Hayley was born in January and has finally given Steph permission to leave the house without her (for a bit!) Steph is now available for appointments.... Book online at the top of our Page or call (03) 9723 2233!

18.01.2022 Due to council works, the car park opposite the Healing Hands Osteopathy clinic will be closed for the next 12 months. If you use this car park when coming for appointments, there are a few options available for you. These options are marked in green on the map pictured. We kindly ask that you allow an extra few minutes before your appointment to secure a parking space. - At the end of Devon St next to the bus depot on the left hand side there is a small car park with limited... spaces - On-street parking in the surrounding streets. There is a pedestrian walk-through at the end of Mount View St. which leads to Devon St. - On-Street parking on Main Street (check signage for time limits) If you feel that you will struggle to walk from the alternative car parks, we will also be creating a "drop-off" zone in our driveway. This will have a 5 minute time limit which will be strictly enforced. Our on-site disabled car park will still be available for patients with disabled permits. Thank you for understanding and we apologise for the inconvenience this causes.

18.01.2022 Over the next two weeks, Healing Hands Osteopathy will be featuring video tutorials of exercises you can try "at home". In this video Adam performs a lumbar roll/release to mobilise and massage his lower back. This is especially helpful for people who spend a lot of time sitting at work or lifting heavy objects.

17.01.2022 Love to exercise, but unable to do it due to CALF PAIN? We can help! The calf muscle is made of of the Gastrocnemius muscle and the Soleus muscle, and attaches to the heel via the Achilles tendon. The fibres of these muscles can be subject to tearing, causing a strain in the muscle. Muscle fibres can be strained (or torn) in sports that require quick acceleration or deceleration movements e.g. basketball or tennis. Symptoms include sharp pain to weightbear, swelling and bruis...ing. What can we do? The immediate treatment of any soft tissue injury consists of the RICER protocol rest, ice, compression and elevation for the first 72 hours. Once the inflammation has settled, Osteopathic and Remedial Massage treatment can be very beneficial in reducing pain levels and muscular tension, as well as improving the mobility of ankle, knee and hip joints. Specific stretching, mobilisation and strengthening exercises will be given throughout your recovery. For more information, call our highly trained osteopaths on (03) 9723 2233!

13.01.2022 After one week of Movember, Adam is already making impressive moustache progress! Remember - 25c from every Healing Hands treatment will be donated to charity for the duration of the month. Do you want to get involved? Post a progress photo of your mo on our page, or make a donation (online or at the clinic), and you'll go in the draw to win a $50 Healing Hands voucher.

12.01.2022 Just a friendly reminder that normal hours resume at the clinic from tomorrow, 4 January. We look forward to seeing all your friendly faces!

11.01.2022 We have BRAND NEW Healing Hands Osteopathy VIDEOS! In this last video of our current series Sam, one of the Healing Hands Osteos, perform a spiky ball exercise to release tension in the plantar fascia of her foot. This is a great exercise for runners and can easily be done in the comfort of your home.

11.01.2022 We hope you've enjoyed the last two weeks of Healing Hands Osteopathy video tutorials of exercises you can try "at home". In our final video for this series, see Sam perform a stretch to release tension in her hamstring muscles. This is a great stretch for anyone with tension in their lower back and legs, and for people who work at computers.

10.01.2022 Healing Hands Osteopathy COVID-19 Update We hope you have been keeping safe and well through the extension of the Stage 4 lockdown! With daily case numbers reducing, we are all excited to see some restrictions easing. REMEDIAL MASSAGE... Unfortunately, Remedial Massage is still currently unavailable and is unable to re-commence operation until Step 3 (provisional date of October 26th). TREATMENT ELIGIBILITY The criteria for allowable treatment has been re-evaluated as of the 28th of September. To qualify for treatment, patients must answer yes to one of the following two questions: Are you currently in pain? Will delaying treatment cause an escalation of your symptoms? PRE-SCREENING All patients must complete the pre-screening form before coming to an appointment. We have made an online PRE-SCREENING FORM which can be found in your email/ SMS reminder messages. This involves a set of questions related to your current pain and symptoms, as well as screening for COVID-19 risk factors. We are doing everything we can to ensure the process is as simple and streamlined as possible while still complying with Government regulations/restrictions. We understand that this is a stressful time for everyone and appreciate your patience and support! We will continue to listen and act on any advice given by the Australian Government Department of Health. We will keep you informed of any changes to the guidelines as they are updated. If you are unclear about anything stated above, please give our team a call on (03) 9723 2233.

10.01.2022 We hope that everyone has a wonderful Easter Monday public holiday! We look forward to seeing you again tomorrow!
