25.01.2022 Its day three of Active Healthy Kids Australia's #movementtomove weeka campaign that aims to get children and young people around the world moving more and si...tting less every day. A staggering 80 per cent of Aussie kids dont meet daily activity recommendations, so in order to reach this goal, all of society needs to take part in educating our children about the importance of getting active. #Physiotherapists can teach our kids appropriate exercises and activities that will aid in #injuryprevention as well as monitor injuries and developmental stages. #choosephysio for #exerciseprescription and #physicalactivity https://choose.physio/your-wellbeing/physical-activity See more

24.01.2022 Dermatomes These are areas of skin that are supplied by nerves from a single spinal nerve root. Pain along these areas mapped are often indicators of a nerve issue. Typically, this type of discomfort is described as a burning, throbbing, sharp, pins and needles or numb sensation. They are very important to manage. Pop into the clinic if you have experienced anything like this for one of our physiotherapists to check it out for you

21.01.2022 KARE Health will be closed from December 25th - January 1st. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of our patients and see you back on January 2nd

21.01.2022 Plank on forearms and wrists It is absolutely vital to get your form right. A neutral spine is a must, in other words keeping your back straight. A very common mistake is arching of the back and not activating the core muscles enough. This can lead to the development of back pain.

19.01.2022 Push ups It is very important to activate your core, whilst doing a push up. This prevents the development of back pain in the long-term. Many arch their back, due to weakness in their core, pecs and arms. If you find that you do start to arch your back, try on your knees. Then once you do have more strength, the toes will be a more advanced option. Here we have Felicia demonstrating a chest press style of push up.

16.01.2022 When bones become weak or fragile, and a minor fall or bump leads to an easy break, osteoporosis may be the cause. Worldwide, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over t...he age of 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture. To acknowledge #WorldOsteoporosisDay, learn about how your physiotherapist can help in the prevention and management of osteoporosis. #choosephysio for osteoporosis See more

15.01.2022 Common exercise myths: 1. Stretch before to prevent injuries: static stretches may actually do harm. A looser muscle acts like an overstretched slingshot, which generates less force. A more optimal approach is to warm up by dynamic stretches, like arm or leg swings (or those who involve movement) 2. Exercise on an empty stomach to burn more fat: you should, in fact, eat at least 3-4 hours before exercise. High in carbs and proteins and low in fat. These provide exercise fuel... and energy to better burn fats 3. Drink water even when youre not thirsty: thirst is a reminder that you need more fluid. If you take too much liquid in, your body cannot get rid of excess and so sodium levels start to become low. And can affect your body. So drink when thirsty!

15.01.2022 Low back pain care

14.01.2022 It is STEPTEMBER Felicia, one of our Physios, is doing this as a fundraiser for Cerebral Palsy. This involves doing at least 10 000 steps per day for the month of September. It is recommended that everyone walks 10 000 steps per day as it increases energy levels, aides weight loss and reduces risk of chronic disease. BUT, the reality is that the average Australian only walks 5 000-7 000 steps per day. We should all join Felicia in aiming to reach 10000 steps everyday throughout STEPTEMBER

14.01.2022 Sit-up progressions It is very difficult to master a sit-up, as it requires a great deal of core strength. In these videos, Felicia demonstrates an exercise you can try first.

13.01.2022 Mental Health its just as important as our physical health. Today is World Mental Health Day and its all about raising awareness about the importance of loo...king after your mental health. A diet which contains a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and oily fish and limits foods which are highly processed and have little nutritional value, helps to boost your brain health. Other meal habits, such as eating your meal away from screens and enjoying a meal with others, can also help you look after your mood and mindset. If you are looking to boost your mental health through your optimising your diet, be sure to connect with your local APD, via daa.asn.au/find-an-apd/. See more
