21.01.2022 Tai Chi is a slow and gentle way of moving based on an ancient Chinese martial art that integrates the mind and body. It is evidence-based, meaning research has proven that it helps reduce pain and improve balance, strength, confidence and general health especially in chronic health conditions. There are many styles of Tai Chi some very difficult and challenging. Dr Paul Lam, a Sydney GP convinced of the health benefits of Tai Chi, has modified the most gentle style into a form that almost everyone can do - his two major rules are to have fun and stay safe.

19.01.2022 Back Pain Myth Number 4 I’ve hurt my back, I NEED a back scan. It has been widely scientifically proven that the changes seen on an x-ray, CT or MRI do not necessarily correlate to the person’s back pain. In fact, if you scan a heap of people who have never had back pain, you will see the same changes we think of them like the wrinkles in your skin, just signs of aging. Even the way that these scans are explained to patients can lead to a poor outcome. On top of this, there is a higher surgical rate of people undergoing early scans.

17.01.2022 The best thing is this cupping technique is it’s not one size fits all. We assess you and your movement directly and then cater to your specific needs. Shelley was feeling really tight in her hamstrings and calves and wasn’t able to touch her toes After her myofascial cupping treatment, Shelley was able to touch her toes and achieved an 11cm improvement to her range of motion.

16.01.2022 Posture can be sometimes relevant to pain, in that, often the problem for neck pain is sustained or prolonged postures and less movement. For example sitting in front of the computer too close for a long time can at times put stress on your structures in the back of the neck and lead to pain. But, this doesn't mean that your overall posture is not good! In this instance, taking frequent breaks, modifying positions will provide relief and may solve the problem. Most importantly, it is essential to build tolerance to any given position you require.

14.01.2022 Let’s bust those back pain myths. I’ve hurt my back, and now I’ll have a back problem forever. The majority of people who hurt their back recover within a few weeks, even if initially they have debilitating pain. Most people return to their previous level of activity and work. There are a very small number of people who do develop chronic back pain, and it is now understood that there are specific high risk factors, including the level of pain, anxiety, fear avoidance of movement, catastrophising thoughts which can be flagged and managed by your therapist.

13.01.2022 Pain, perhaps from an arthritis flare, or an operation can stop you from being normally physically active and when you 'don’t move it, you lose it!’ Gradually getting stiffer and weaker, eventually you find you have difficulty getting out of a chair, going up stairs, going for a walk or doing other activities you enjoy. This in turn can make you unsteady on your feet Research has shown that walking outside or the fear of falling both double your risk of actually falling over Learn more about how Tai Chi can help you to enjoy better balance, movement and general health at https://www.miamiphysio.com.au//new-tai-chi-courses-begin/

08.01.2022 From our Miami and Lakelands families to yours, Merry Christmas and thank you!

08.01.2022 Top tips from this week's blog! 1 Current research shows there is NO link between posture and neck pain 2 Often the problem is holding sustained positions with inadequate strength and endurance in the neck and supporting muscles 3 The solution is often taking short breaks and changing positions. Movement is the answer!

07.01.2022 Back Pain Myth number 3 I’ve slipped a disc/my back is out. Discs don’t slip. EVER. To read a blog on this, visit https://www.miamiphysio.com.au/blog/discs-dont-slip-ever/ Between each of the vertebrae in your spine, there sits a disc. This consists of two parts; a strong cartilaginous ring on the outside called the annulus fibrosis, and a softer centre called the nucleus pulposus (you can picture it a bit like a jelly donut!). These discs are strong, flexible and help wi...th movement and shock absorption. The discs are anchored to the vertebrae by ligaments. This connection is exceptionally strong, and makes it impossible for the disc to actually slip out of place. When you have your back cracked the noise is gas being sucked into the vacuum created by stretching a joint. Nothing is being moved back in. (It wasn’t out in the first place!) See more

02.01.2022 Back Pain Myth Number 2: I’ve hurt my back, I need bed-rest. The worst thing you can do is rest in bed. This will prolong your misery and recovery. Instead, movement is the first aid for back pain. Walking, gentle movement exercises as taught by your physio, and a graduated return to normal activity will get you better quicker.

01.01.2022 Myofascial cupping is a soft tissue therapy that uses negative pressure, or suction, on the skin to create a three-dimensional pull, bringing the underlying fascia, blood and other fluids closer to the surface of the skin. This promotes healing and can reduce pain too.

01.01.2022 The sciatic nerve, just like any other structure in your body, has a blood supply and needs oxygen for its health. When the nerve is compressed, this blood and oxygen supply may get compromised. The nerve becomes unhappy and causes nerve pain, which you feel as the shooting pain, pins and needles and tingling down your leg.
