23.01.2022 It takes time... Frustratingly enough, this is true. To want to change your mobility, strength, function or weight, it takes time and effort. Little and often you can make changes to muscles, movements and more. Before you know it, those daily chores will become routine and lead to much bigger knock on effects. Todays message is just a reminder to be patient. It is ALWAYS worth the commitment. After all, your body is one of the most important things you can look after.... A wise man once said that your health is the most valuable possession you can own. Today is always a good day to begin your journey to what you want. #christmasmessage #chiropractor #amazon #patience #wellness See more

22.01.2022 December 1st: Merry December to one and all, the holiday season is here! Today is the day many of us are finally allowed to dust off those decorations and get those trees up Dancing to Mariah Carey while at the top of the ladder, leaning to get that star straight does come with its perils! Follow our cheat sheet guide to make sure you remain safe at all times while enjoying the process of festooning, adorning, tinsellingwe could go on. 1. Try to stick to the objects designe...d to help us decorate such as ladders rather than using chairs, shoulders, windowsills etc. The chances of you having an accident or fall increases with the use of improper equipment. 2. If ladders are involved, make sure they are fully fixed into their open position, level, underneath the item you are hanging and ideally with a person to watch you and hold the ladder base. 3. Instead of leaning beyond your natural reach and risking straining a muscle or lower back, step down and move the ladder closer to the area you are decorating. 4. Check your lights for any electrical issues before hanging them and turning them on. Remember the lights are the decoration, not your frazzled hair! See more

19.01.2022 December 14: Its the weekend!!!! If you have completed all your Christmas shopping or simply need a break to recharge and reset before the last full week before the break, this is a beautiful walk to try through the national park around Bundeena.

Repeat 5 times on each side. . #chiropractic #stretching #thoracicmobility #wellness #menai

As always though, make sure you protect yourself from the suns rays with at least factor 50 sunscreen! ... #chiropractor #menai #sutherlandshire #backpain #neckpain #health #wellness #vitamind #healthybones #vitaminsandminerals #summer #sun #sunsafe #slipslopslap

17.01.2022 December 20: A good nights sleep on us! Sleeping habits are critical not only for your brain to power down but also for your body to ease away the stress and strain of the day before. Whether you lie on your back or side, your spine should be in a neutral alignment (the same posture as your standing position but just horizontal!). If you are waking with a sore neck or headaches, it might be worth looking at how you sleep or what you are sleeping on! All of our Chiropractic... team sleep on the complete sleeprrr contoured memory foam pillows which provide all the right ingredients for a good nights rest and youve guessed it...we have a free pillow for one lucky snoozer! Just follow our page, like this post and tag a friend to go into the draw to be selected at random! We stock these in both travel and full size so if you miss out, dont worry, you can still pick them up at the clinic! *Winner announced 31st December #pillow #neckpain #headaches #goodnightssleep #sleepingposition #completesleeprrr #chiropractor #menai

16.01.2022 December 13: So whats the deal with high heels? Its Christmas party season and we all dress the part and suffer the consequences afterwards this isnt confined to just our sore feetafter dancing all night long but can extend all the way up! Without being party poopers, we wanted to explain exactly what wearing high heels does to your entire body! ... Your foot is engineered to distribute the forces of standing and walking through all of its joints. In high heels, all this pressure goes through the ball of your foot and can cause a lot of pain in this area! Wearing these types of shoe make your foot more pointed and causes your calf and Achilles tendon to tighten. To keep you standing straight upright, your knee then has to bend more too. One study found that wearing heels created a 26% increase on pressure on the knee! Raising your heel height shifts your bodyweight forwards taking your spine out of its natural ergonomic alignment. The curve in your lower back increases and this change in spinal mechanics travels all the way to the top. It can affect shock absorption, create muscle tightness, joint irritation and more! If you wear heels this holiday season, make sure you give your body time to recover afterwards and help it with some stretches of your lower back, hamstrings and calves. A foot rub helps too if you have a willing victim uh I mean volunteer! #highheels #partytime #christmasparty #chiropractor #footpain #menai

14.01.2022 We are so lucky that we have the most amazing natural hydrotherapy facility on our doorstep...the ocean Whether you bob around in the waves for a couple of minutes on the weekend or swim around Shark island every day, the benefits of being in the water are huge for your musculoskeletal system.

12.01.2022 December 18: The month of temptation! There is nothing wrong with indulging in your favourite foods in the holiday season but sometimes its nice to have a meal that is a little lighter on the digestive system. Try this salad full of fresh ingredients with a lime and olive oil vinaigrette... Spoon the rice into a bowl and top with rocket, zucchini, avocado, tomatoes, celery, radish, spring onions and sprouts. Whisk the oil, lime zest, juice and shallots and season with salt.... Sprinkle the seasonings; coriander, almonds and seeds, drizzle the dressing and enjoy!!! #saladseason #sillyseason #healthylifestyle #chiropractor #menai @ Menai, New South Wales

10.01.2022 December 17: Phone to face people! Not face to phone! It doesnt matter whether its a phone, a book. Technology or not. Looking down for prolonged periods strains the posterior muscles of the neck and upper back creating stiffness and soreness. Prevention is always better than a cure! #textneck #chiropractor #menai #wellness

09.01.2022 Exercise Some of us revel in physical activity and some of us dread it. Many health professionals will advise exercise as a method to decrease pain and stiffness, reduce high blood markers for conditions such as diabetes and cholesterol or to improve mental health and general wellbeing. But what do we actually mean? Go out and run ultramarathons? Join the 100kg squat club? What we actually want you to train for is life. Being able to move comfortably and ...confidently through your daily activities. Never underestimate the power of a simple walk or swim. Even a few stretches or exercises just a couple of times a week is sometimes all that is needed to make slow steady changes to your physical health #chiropractor #healthylifestyle #wellness #movewellmoveoften #walking #sydney #royalnationalpark #menai @ Metro Chiropractic Clinic

09.01.2022 December 7: Practice what you preach All jobs, no matter how active or sedentary, stress and strain the body due to their repetitive nature. We are not immune to this either!

08.01.2022 December 19: Back spasms and what to do! Approximately 1 in 6 of us experience an episode of acute low back pain at some point in our lives! Bending, twisting and lifting are some of the culprits for causing injuries to the muscles, joints and discs in this area. Low back pain can be debilitating as the body tries to cope with the injury. Muscle spasms and loss of mobility are some of the symptoms that you could be experiencing in this instance. So what can you do about it? T...his 90-90 position allows your lower back muscles to gently relax through a neutral pelvic posture and by reducing the curve of your lower back. To complement this position, you can also slide an ice pack underneath the area of your lower back to help reduce inflammation. *Make sure that you have a barrier such as a tea towel between the ice pack and your skin to prevent ice burns! Stay here for up to 15 minutes before rolling onto all fours and slowly standing up using a stable object to help. #lowbackpain #icetherapy #chiropractor #menai

06.01.2022 December 22: A message for Santa... Just a reminder to be conscious of your posture when you wrap all your Christmas presents and start putting them under the tree When lifting objects from floor to table or between surfaces, try to bend your knees rather than your back. ... Watch out for the awkward objects not just the heavy ones when moving them around and take extra care on stairs! If you are pushing presents under the tree, kneeling first before you slide them will make your back less vulnerable to sprains and strains than bending over while standing and doing the same thing. As silly as it sounds, wrapping can be a strenuous activity especially if you are not using a good wrapping station! Look for a surface that is about waist height to avoid any prolonged leaning or bending. If you have a lot to wrap, have breaks to let your body stretch out between presents. Having an elf help is always a good idea too...they can be your extra arms and hold your paper while you stick the sellotape! #christmas #wrappingpaper #santa #posture #backpain #chiropractor #menai
