24.01.2022 Why is my neck always so tight? Join me on a three part series on awareness around the neck, upper back and shoulders. All important areas to look at when it comes to the neck. We start today with the most important thing - keeping all of those areas nice and loose. And this should be done OFTEN. Especially if you’re sitting at a desk.... Next week we’ll dive into more subtle postural awareness and alignment, followed by my favourite specific self release techniques for the neck. Hope you enjoy the series!

23.01.2022 Today is R U OK day. Now more than ever, we need to make sure each of us feels supported and heard. When asking someone around you whether they are okay, make sure you: Give them the time and space to respond Acknowledge that this simple conversation could change a life... Listen actively to their feelings and worries Ask them questions about what's going on for them, so you feel you fully understand Reassure them that they are supported, loved and not alone Encourage action that might seem reasonable and actionable for them Check in with them again

23.01.2022 An update from your Koru Team who miss you!! The Department of Health has advised that the current restrictions for allied health appointments are being extended, at least till the 28th of September. What does this mean for you?... We continue to offer face to face consultations, based on a case by case assessment We are still offering Telehealth appointments for any routine and non urgent issues you are dealing with right now If you have an appointment with us, we will be in touch closer to the day to assess whether or not your face to face consultation can go ahead We are still here for you, just in a different way. Please don't put your health on hold! In the meantime, we'll keep posting some funny dance videos to keep you inspired to stay connected, playful and positive that this too shall pass, and that we'll all be stronger for it (after a period of awkward social reintegration). If there is ANYTHING we can help you with, please get in touch. With love, Team Koru

As restrictions are starting to ease because Victorians have put in their hearts and souls into eliminating this virus, we will be able to see more and more patients as of next Monday 28th September. Having said that, it is not quite yet business as usual. What does this mean for you? ... If you have an ailment or an issue that is not getting better with time or with your Telehealth appointments, then you are likely to qualify for a face to face consultation. We will still need to ask you lots of fun pre-screening questions to determine whether you qualify That if at this point in time, you may need further investigations such as an Ultrasound, Xray or MRI/CT scan, then you will likely qualify for a face to face consultation That if your pain is affecting your activities of daily living, such as sleeping, working, caring for yourself or a family member than you are likely to qualify for a face to face consultation That if your emotional or mental well being is at risk, then you may also qualify for a face to face consultation If you are in any doubt about any of this, please give us a call on so we can discuss what's going on for you and hopefully get you in to see your osteopath. Otherwise, paws crossed that in 2 weeks time, we will all be back to the new abnormal! Take care, Team Koru xx
