22.01.2022 [LOW BACK PAIN SERIES PART 8 - COMMON QUESTIONS IN THE CLINIC] . . . Four common questions I get asked frequently in the clinic pertaining to back pain:... . IS MY SPINE OUT OF ALIGNMENT? In short: NO!! Most people have zero concept of how strong the human spine actually is. Newsflash: its crazy strong. As in, can handle thousands of pounds before it breaks, strong. So dont you dare for a second let anyone scare you into thinking your spine is fragile. And while Im on the topic: when people crack your back are they moving bones from a misaligned position back into place? NO!! . SHOULD I GET AN MRI? In most cases, no. If you go back to Part 4 of this series, I list a series of signs/symptoms for when getting an MRI for back pain is most indicated. In absence of these symptoms, an MRI is almost always unhelpful. Why? Because so called abnormal findings are bound to show up, and these may have little if anything to do with your pain. We know this because these same abnormal findings are seen in pain free populations. What happens however is people worry, become fearful and attach themselves to these diagnoses which makes recovery more challenging. Last rant: MRI scanners can never see pain. Pain is not a thing you see, its an experience. Case closed. . IS BACK PAIN MORE COMMON WITH AGEING? Generally no. We actually see less prevalence of back pain as people get older than 50. . DO I NEED SURGERY? With the exception of medical emergencies, generally speaking most surgical interventions should be considered as a last resort: following a committed course of conservative care that fails to achieve desired outcomes. Sometimes, surgery is warranted. That decision ultimately should be based on detailed surgeon-patient discussion, in light of proper surgical indications, duration of symptoms, risk-benefit analysis and patient wishes. .

20.01.2022 Telehealth is up and running! https://www.insightphysiotherapy.com.au/telehealth/

19.01.2022 See our previous posts regarding Telehealth.

19.01.2022 The APA has received the following advice from the Federal Minister for Health, The Hon Greg Hunt: The Australian Minister for Health has today confirmed that A...LL allied health businesses can continue working and are encouraged to do so. In addition he has indicated that they are now developing full allied health telehealth options within the week for allied health along with all other health and medical services. This will be part of a staged plan. Face to face services for many remain vital so where possible, we encourage you to continue. I thank you for your courage, dedication and care, the Minister said. The APA continues to monitor this changing situation closely and will provide you with advice and guidance as it becomes available.

12.01.2022 Changes to the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor are common after childbirth and can make some daily tasks a little bit more challenging. Luckily these can be ...managed through physiotherapy treatment and prescribed exercise activities. Call your local physio to chat about your options, whether that be a telehealth appointment or in-clinic consultation. Either way, you can be assured that your health is their top priority. Go to www.choose.physio/pregnancy

12.01.2022 4 questions you should always ask your doctor (or physio). https://www.ted.com//christer_mjaset_4_questions_you_shoul

11.01.2022 It was great to be able to spread the word in today’s West Australian about the new option of telehealth that many physios are providing as a result of the coro...na virus. Hopefully this article will normalise it (telehealth) somewhat to the general public and enable the physio profession to ramp up the provision of high value care through video link. Images of some of the text included as many people viewing this morning’s post couldn’t open the link to the article as they are not subscribers. See more

11.01.2022 Lets go over the basics! What actually IS incontinence? Check out our website below or free call the National Continence Helpline on 1800 33 00 66 for information and advice (8am - 8pm AEDT).

10.01.2022 Nope.. running and exercise do not cause arthritis. When your friends tell you they are not exercising to protect their joints-- please correct them. https://www.howardluksmd.com//can-running-prevent-arthrit/

08.01.2022 At Insight Physiotherapy we have Rachelle Symons who is available to help with bed wetting, for further information or to book an appointment please call 95273844

08.01.2022 Worried about your child having bladder or bowel issues when they start school? Let their teacher know about our free Toilet Tactics program and promote healthy habits and toilet standards.

08.01.2022 What an interesting time! I even managed to find myself on the news. UPDATE: Some telehealth for chronic disease management items will be covered. Information about relevant Medicare item numbers can be found here https://bit.ly/3as1Wui

07.01.2022 Do marathons increase knee damage? Nope. Actually looks like it improves certain MRI changes. The paper I will link to shows that approx 35% of people traini...ng for a marathon had meniscus tears and early cartilage changes under their kneecap. Those tears did not worsen or progress during the marathon. We know that many of us are walking around with meniscus tears and other changes in our knee yet we have no pain. The incidence of these asymptomatic tears appears to be the same as in the general population. This paper might comfort those who are training for races, or those who simply like to run. Remember... osteoarthritis is typically lower in incidence in runners vs an age-matched control group :-). We are taking down excuses not to run one at a time :-) https://bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/5/1/e000586

07.01.2022 Looking for people with pelvic pain! Please share to help spread the word Researchers at Curtin University are testing a new questionnaire for people... experiencing ongoing pelvic pain. Do you have pelvic pain, are you over 18 and do you have 25 minutes to complete an online survey? By completing the survey, you will be helping health care professionals understand how you feel when you are in pain. There is also a chance to win an Amazon voucher by participating in the survey. The survey is available online at: curtin.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_788V14s5pZ1mysl This study has been approved by the Curtin University Human Research Ethics (HREC) (approval number: HRE2020-0302). Please share to help spread the word

06.01.2022 Yall cant imagine that a tear might be a normal age appropriate change. Well... it often is. This image shows that if we MRI your PAINLESS shoulder or knee ...then we will likely find the exact same thing as we do on the MRI of the painful shoulder. https://www.jshoulderelbow.org//S1058-2746(19)302/fulltext

05.01.2022 In follow up to the previous post re: telehealth: 1. We expect to have this up and running by mid next week (April 1 - no this is not an April Fools Joke ) at the latest. 2. We will be doing these at a reduced rates for private patients given the lack of support from the private health funds. See the link attached for the less than ideal support. Stay tuned for more details.... 3. At this stage we will run these through our clinic software. This is simple as all you will need to do is click on a link we will email/sms through to you. The link will take you through to the consult. You can do this through your phone, tablet or laptop/computer (it will need a functioning camera/webcam). You only need a functioning web browser, firefox, chrome, safari etc. 4. Our physios are experienced in providing this service, many of our staff having done this previously for patients located regionally. Thanks. Stay safe and well. https://australian.physio//australian-health-funds-announc

04.01.2022 When I speak to many of you in the office and we talk about exercise, you all mention how you are walking. Thats great. However, a proper exercise program has ...to involve resistance exercise. Thats the only way you will minimize the risk of losing muscle mass and strength as we age. Frailty is a tragic process. Read this.. and see just how important muscle mass is with regards to our overall health. https://www.howardluksmd.com//muscle-mass-strength-and-lo/

03.01.2022 This is a start, but not ideal. You need a referral to access if not an existing patient within the last 6 months.... Also limited in what can be treated. https://australian.physio//australian-health-funds-announc
