13.01.2022 Can your child see an Osteo? The answer is yes! As Osteopaths, we are trained to treat a wide range of injuries, in people of all ages. My name is James and I work on Sundays at Hobsons Bay Health Group. A focus of mine for the past few years is treating children aged between 5 and 15 years old.... We can often think that children don’t require Osteopathy treatment, as they are young and believe that the pain will resolve by itself. While this can be true, there are also certain conditions that can develop in a growing body. These types of conditions vary greatly, from scoliosis to traction apophysitis; to name a few. However, these conditions can also be easily identified with an Osteopathic assessment. Therefore, if you have noticed something different in the way your child moves, your child is super active, or you are just interested in getting them an assessment. Booking in for an Osteopathic appointment may be the best first step!

11.01.2022 What are Forceplates? Forceplates are a set of metal plates that detect movement, power and force generated during certain gym movements such as a squat or a box jump, they also pick up on asymmetries from side to side. Previously only used on elite athletes, osteos and other allied health are now using them for patients. ... The great thing about the Forceplates is that they aren't just related to injury and injury identification, they can also measure performance and improvements in performance. The InBody scan measures changes to body composition over the duration of months and weeks, the Forceplates measure power and strength. A lot of the time it is hard to know if you are truly getting stronger, but the force plates identify how much stronger and powerful you have gotten without having to lift extremely heavy weights (safety is a priority). If you're keen to see how strong and powerful you have become or if you would like to see your injury risk then book in with Lachlan. #foreceplates #osteopathy #altonanorthosteopathy

06.01.2022 How to treat the 'Desk Hunch'. If you get to Friday and feel a niggle in your neck or shoulders or tweaks down your arm, it could be from the 'desk hunch'. Humans are not designed to be sitting at a desk for thirty or more hours per week and it can take its toll on our bodies. When doing desk work, remind yourself to stand up, walk around and move your body every hour.... The classic ‘desk hunch’ posture causes the front of your body to shorten and close in- a couple of common muscular culprits are your pecs and biceps. Stretching these structures can help to take the pressure off the muscles and joints in your back. Here are a few easy things you can do to counteract this: PEC STRETCH: Gently press your forearm against the doorframe until you feel the stretch and hold for 45 seconds on each side, twice daily. FOAM ROLLING: Pilates people will know this one well! 2 minutes x 2 daily, or as needed - gently stretch back over the foam roller with your head heavy in your hands. FOAM ROLLER STRETCH: Another classic pilates stretch - feel your chest gently open up through the weight of your arms. If you don't have a foam roller, just roll up a towel! #pecstretch #osteopathy

02.01.2022 Our osteopaths can start treating patients again from September 28th. You can book in online. We are still waiting for the updates on remedial massage and will keep you posted. https://hobsonsbayhealthgroup.com.au/book-online/
