They also affect the upper limb, especially your shoulders, elbows and wrists. Neck injuries are also common.

08.01.2022 We are smashing the Push Up Challenge! Today's goal is 155 Push Ups! MENTAL HEALTH FACT An estimated 15.5% of young LGBTIQA+ Australians have made a non-fatal suicide attempt at some point in their lives. Among trans people, that number rises to almost 50%. By this measure, the LGBTIQA+ population is the most over-represented group in the country.... The driving factors behind these devastating rates of mental ill-health amongst LGBTIQA+ Australians are not well studied. However, we do know that LGBTIQA+ people continue to face high rates of discrimination and stigma from a young age. About 60% of LGBTIQA+ young people report experiencing verbal homophobic abuse, and about 80% of this abuse occurs at school. Living with discrimination and stigma has a substantial impact on levels of psychological distress and can make it harder to seek help when it’s needed.

06.01.2022 Do you have a sedentary job? or Do you have lower back pain? When we sit for extended periods of time, some of our muscles are held in a shortened state, they are not being flexed as they were intended. The muscle, tendons and nerves negatively adapt to this shortened state and reduce the ability to stretch. Desk jobs with hours of sitting are a common cause of a tight psoas muscle. When this muscle is tight, it usually results in lower back pain. ... Jump off your chair for a moment and try this stretch Make sure the area you choose to do this exercise has carpet, otherwise bring something soft from home to cushion under your knee. Place your left knee onto the ground with your left foot behind you, foot flat on the ground. Place your right leg in front, with a 90-degree bend in your knee and your foot planted on the ground. Gently drive your left knee backward and down using your buttock muscles. Check you have maintained good posture - keep your shoulders in line with your hips, head upright and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat on the other side. Repeat daily. Never push through pain. If you are already experiencing lower back pain, we recommend getting some expert help. #livebetterphysiotherapy #livebetterstretches #physiotherapy

06.01.2022 Of the 3046 push-ups we are completing this year, 2320 of them represent men who lost their life to suicide in Australia in 2018. That’s over 75% of the total. Women experience mental health issues at higher rates than men, but men are less likely to seek help for them. Some spaces within our communities exist especially to support the mental health of the men in our lives, like the Men’s Shed. Men’s Sheds provide open workspaces where men can socialise, work, or help out their communities. If you or a male you know needs to talk to someone about mental health, Mensline is a national service for men providing referrals, counselling and support. Call 1300 78 99 78 (24 hours a day).

05.01.2022 Dry Needling helps release tight muscle tissue by going directly into the trigger point of the muscle and releasing it - if you look closely in the video below, you can see the twitches of the upper traps as it needles and the trigger point is released. It works very effectively and is not as scary as you might think. Most people who have it done, feel very little discomfort. #livebetterphysiotherapy #physiotherapist #dryneedling #dryneedlingtherapy #musclerecovery #recovery #physiolife #physio #renmark #barmera #waikerie #southaustraliaphysio

Having been through quite a few injuries herself, she understands the struggle and knows what it takes to get back in action. Irina is a strong believer in a holistic approach towards health and well-being and recently became a fully qualified Reiki Prac...titioner. Irina has immersed herself in the Riverland community, with her passion for music and dance leading her to join the musical society, keep an eye out, she will be up on stage soon after being off the scene for some time! Outdoor activities are another passion of hers, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, swimming, kneeboarding, and hopefully waterskiing very soon.
