25.01.2022 Sarah Cutts loves yoga! Many of us at Balance Health love yoga! I love yoga. I believe when taught correctly it builds resilience in the body. It enables you to trust in yourself. It helps you to heal. I'm writing this post to reach out to those that may look at this pose and think "I wish I could do that" or those that are having trouble with their practice in their existing classes or home exercise due to pain or injury. Sarah is a physiotherapist who has also done yog...a teacher training. She's so passionate about helping people learn about practicing yoga and it’s benefits. If you want to begin yoga and not sure where to start, or have an injury you wish to resolve with yoga practice book an appointment with Sarah Call 5952 2244 or book online https://www.balance-health.com.au/practitioner-online-booki

21.01.2022 Breastfeeding mummas please take note! Kara Cassells and Kristine Miles will be taking some leave over the next two weeks so we want to give you some info on the best acute management for mastitis symptoms which will hopefully minimise the need to progress to antibiotics. In summary; avoid tight clothing or bras that create pressure areas on the breast prioritise feeding from the affected breast first... ensure a deep latch with the baby's lips wide on the areola use over the counter anti-inflammatory medications and cool compress VERY gently massage the breast stroking TOWARDS the sternum and arm pit. The goal of massage is to minimise the swelling of the breast so the milk can flow freely (not to unblock a 'plug' of milk so to speak) For more detailed info please read here https://www.balance-health.com.au//breastfeeding-and-lacta

19.01.2022 There are numerous potential health benefits for women who exercise during and after pregnancy. After all, childbirth is often compared to a marathon and theref...ore, preparation should be considered. To coincide with #WomensHealthWeek, Vice-chair of Queensland chapter of the Womens, Mens and Pelvic Health group Brooke Dobo, APAM, and Men’s and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist Tory Toogood, MACP, contribute five evidence based practice points about the benefits of exercise during and after pregnancy. This #infographic is proudly brought to you by the Physiotherapy Research Foundation (#PRF) supporting research translation.

15.01.2022 There is mounting evidence that exercise has a role in falls prevention in people with dementia and Parkinson's disease. A recent review of randomised controlle...d trials confirmed that well-designed exercise programs that safely challenge balance and involve three hours of exercise per week, are most effective for older people living in the general community. Remember to see your physiotherapist if you are not sure about the best approach for you. If you or someone you know is living with dementia or Parkinson's disease, find a physio near you specialising in treatment of older patients or those with neurological conditions.
