25.01.2022 Office Chairs and Back Pain You have probably heard before that our increasingly sedentary lifestyles are adding up to lots of unhealthy consequences. Sitting for prolonged periods throughout the day can increase our risk of high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and heart disease. Of course, it can also play a major role in back pain. Sitting, especially in a hunched position, puts increased pressure on the spine, leading to increased rates of back pain and lumbar disc ...herniation particularly. If you must sit for long periods of time, using an ergonomic chair that supports proper posture will help reduce the impact on your back. Your chair should be of proper height, offer lumbar support, and be easily manoeuvrable to reach whatever you may need without straining. When working at a computer, sit up straight with feet flat on the floor and elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.

25.01.2022 Stretches to Help Ease Back Pain: Child’s Pose 1. Lower yourself onto the floor so that you are on all fours as if you were going to begin crawling. 2. Ensure your knees are aligned with the width of your hips.... 3. Slowly lean forward until you are in the worship position with arms stretched out in front of you, head down. 4. Hold this position for 30 seconds. 5. Gently roll yourself back into a sitting position, then back onto all fours. 6. Repeat above steps four times.

23.01.2022 Quick Tip! Day 7: Enjoy the Seasonal Flavours Unlike our friends in the northern hemisphere, an Australia Christmas falls in the midst of our scorching hot summer, when a buffet of fresh seasonal produce is available to all. Instead of turning to chocolates, lollies and fudge, instead go for fresh fruit skewers, frozen mango bars and sugar free icy poles as the sweet treats to turn to.

23.01.2022 What is Proprioception? Proprioception is our body’s unconscious awareness of itself in space, in relation to external stimuli, including both movement and stillness. It helps us to achieve quality movement, posture, and solid balance. There are certain parts of our body that contain high amounts of proprioceptive tissue including our feet, upper neck, jaw, and pelvis. These areas of our body relay messages to our brain to let our body know where it is in space. If something is wrong with any of these areas (for example an injury to your foot) this can change the messages being sent to the brain and can in turn affect your balance, movement patterns and posture, and then lead to injury and pain.

21.01.2022 Quick Tip! Day 10: Think Before You Go for Seconds It takes a few minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that it is getting full. After finishing your first helping, take a 10-minute break. Enjoy some good conversation and drink some water. Then you can recheck your appetite, there is a chance you will realize you are full or want only a small portion of seconds

20.01.2022 Quick Tip! Day 11: Work Out at Home This year some of us out there have already had to adapt to doing our workouts from home. Over the Christmas season it can be hard to find time to get to the gym or go for longer workouts. If you find yourself with a spare hour in the day, why not exercise at home? Even if you don’t have any equipment a simple body weight exercise or yoga session can help you keep healthy and fit between constant commitments and events.

18.01.2022 Quick Tip! Day 8: Breakfast! The best way to avoid filling up on sugary snacks or overindulge at that office buffet is to skip a good breakfast. Make sure you make your first meal of the day your most nutritionally balanced. Muesli, Greek yoghurt, smoothies, or eggs are some of the best options to get your day off to the best start.

18.01.2022 Quick Tip! Day 12: Enjoy your Rest The holiday season can be stressful, but it can also be a time to get a well-deserved break. As fun as the parties, gatherings and events can be, you should try and use some of this time to get some well-earned rest. Having a few early nights, relaxing at home, or enjoying some alone time can all have huge benefits and recharging your batteries.

17.01.2022 I never believed that chiropractors could solve my back problems 2 weeks later I stand corrected.

13.01.2022 Walk for pleasure and health. Start with a time or distance you know you are comfortable with and build up gradually. Walk with a group or a friend, you are more likely to do it regularly.

12.01.2022 Happy New Year!

09.01.2022 Common Golf Injuries The most common golf-related injuries are on the wrist, the elbow and the lower back. These are the areas that are most engaged when swinging a golf club. The shoulder, knee and neck are other areas that are often exerted during golf, resulting in injuries. These make up about 80% of golf related injuries that golfers seek treatment for, more so to the soft tissue. Apart from pain, golfers may also experience tenderness and/or numbness in the hands and arms, swelling and inflammation of the elbow which is called golfer’s elbow and wrist injuries which are medically referred to as tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome.

05.01.2022 Quick Tip! Day 9: Get Outside and Go for Walks We here in Australia have the benefit of enjoying beautiful weather around the Christmas season. Take advantage of this by going for long after those big holiday meals. Not only will this help you digest your food and the fresh air always does you a world of good. These walks can also be a good substitute for your usual exercise routine that you may not be able to stick to over this busy time.
