20.01.2022 October is Mental Health Awareness Month. There are a many myths surrounding eating disorders that contribute to the stigma experienced by those living with one, their family and friends. Eating disorders are a serious mental illness that involve psychological distress and medical complications. Eating disorders are very rarely related to vanity and body ideals. They often co-occur with mental illness and utilise food and exercise to manage difficult thoughts and emotions. ... Eating disorders affect anyone, men and women, all ages, all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. One third of those with eating disorders are male. Dieting is the single biggest predictor for development of an eating disorder. Dieting is not a normal part of life. In fact persistent unhealthy dieting can lead to significant mental and physical consequences. Individuals with a low, normal or higher weight can have an eating disorder, they are not based by weight. If you feel you are developing unhealthy eating behaviours, it’s important to get professional help. Source: Inside Out Institute for Eating Disorders, Myths and Misconceptions.

19.01.2022 Spring Time By Katrina Quach, Acupuncturist & Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioner. As we transition into spring, the blossoming of flowers which will grow into fruit once pollinated, reminds us of the fertility of the season. During these periods of change, it is the perfect time to reflect what we need to adjust in our own lives so that we can be comfortable in our own bodies and within our surrounding environment.... Over time, the creative force in women that was once highly revered, has now become a source of intolerable pain and shame. Through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), any symptoms which women experience before, during and after their monthly bleeding are taken to be signs of disharmony within the body. The discomfort is signalling to us that action must be taken to rectify these imbalances. This will then enable the creative force to fulfil its functions smoothly and at the appropriate times allocated within the 28-day cycles . Acupuncture and East Asian herbal medicine are available as solutions to address the array of reproductive conditions present in women’s lives today. Personalised treatments can address menstrual cramping, PMS/ PMT, infertility, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and low libido. After a TCM treatment, not only will you leave feeling more attuned to your body, but the consultation will also provide you with an explanation of what is happening inside. This will give you a better understanding of your body and what has brought you into this current state. To show your body the respect it deserves, call Health Space Oatley on 9579 5100 to book an appointment. References Maciocia, G. (1998). Obstetrics and gynaecology in Chinese medicine.

17.01.2022 HealthSpace Oatley’s Christmas lunch What a fantastic team of health practitioners!

16.01.2022 Neck and shoulder pain are some of the most common chief complaints that practitioners see at Health Space. Especially this year amongst those working on their computers and laptops at home for long hours without their usual breaks that would normally occur in an office environment. From an acupuncturist’s point of view, we will interview our patients about the quality, severity and aggravating factors of the pain. We will observe and palpate for areas of tension and tendern...ess within the body. During this time we may be able to identify misalignment in your spine where your vertebrae do not line up correctly on top of one another. Whilst acupuncture can help reduce the pain, spasming and inflammation of the muscles along the posterior chain, these symptoms may return if the vertebrae remain out of alignment. This is when we can call on our team of Health Space chiropractors who work alongside us. They can contribute with further insight into the causes of pain resulting from spinal misalignment and provide manipulative and non-manipulative techniques suited to each individual. Many of our patients have benefited from this dual treatment as well as commenting on the convenience of having different allied health professionals all in the one place. At Oatley, our treatment modalities also include remedial massage, diet and nutrition, scenar and sports, iridology, eastern and western herbal medicine. Reference Reaves, W. (2010). Neck and shoulder pain: The levator scapulae muscle. The Journal of Chinese Medicine, (94), 5-8.

Media exposure is linked to women’s generalised dissatisfaction with their bodies, increased investment in appearance, and increased endorsement of disordered eating behaviours Being aware, following body positive social media accounts or taking a break may help in maintaining a positive relationship with your body and mind. ...
