25.01.2022 Humans have a total of 24 ribs, set out in 12 pairs. The ribs form a protective cage around our vital organs, including the heart, lungs and liver. The ribs are also an important part of our breathing. There are three main types of ribs: True ribs - these attach directly to the chest bone (aka sternum) False ribs - these attach indirectly to the chest bone via pieces of cartilage at the front of the rib cage Floating ribs - these literally ‘float’ at the back of our bod...ies and have no extension to the front. And breathe. Now who knew this fact already? #osteo #osteopathy #ribs #ribcage #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric

24.01.2022 You wouldn’t think it, but walking is actually a pretty complex activity! Did you know that you use around 200 muscles in just a single step? Walking uses the foot, leg, gluteal and hip muscles, plus a bunch of stabilising muscles to help keep you upright! Now, imagine having a small issue in just one or two of these muscles it can throw out your gait or walking pattern, causing imbalances and other issues, as well as pain. Don’t worry, because we can help fix your issues a...nd restore your normal function. Want to know more? Let us know below and we can schedule you an appointment! #osteo #osteopathy #gait #walking #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric

23.01.2022 Osteochondritis Dissecans or OCD is a joint condition that mainly affects children and adolescents. Many of the bones in our body are covered at the ends by smooth cartilage. Sometimes cracks in the cartilage and underlying bone cause fragments of cartilage to flap around or break off inside the joint. This can lead to inflammation, pain and locking when the joint is used. If your child has these symptoms, book an appointment here at myOsteo and get checked today. What are so...me common pain spots that your child has complained about recently? #osteo #osteopathy #OCD #osteocondritisdissecans #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric

23.01.2022 Hot topic! CONCUSSION Did you know that you don’t even need to hit your head to get a concussion? Having your head thrown forwards and backwards quickly during a whiplash injury is a common cause of concussion that doesn’t result from a physical blow to the head. Symptoms include: Headache Confusion Nausea and vomiting... Loss of balance or consciousness Lack of concentration Plus many more And symptoms don’t always show up right away! Always get checked after head and whiplash-type injuries.

23.01.2022 Out-toeing is when a child’s feet are excessively turned outward. This can occur due to an abnormal outward twist in the thigh bone, which directly affects the positioning of the knee and foot. Other causes can be from an abnormal twist in the shin bone, flat feet or over-contracted muscles in the hip region. Noticed your child has outward pointing feet? Book an appointment today so we can assess them and get them on the straight and narrow asap! #osteo #osteopathy #outtoeing... #osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric See more

22.01.2022 Did you know it is possible to completely tear your Achilles tendon? This is also known as a full rupture of the tendon. Any excessive increase in stress or force acting on the tendon can cause a rupture, including increased participation of jumping sports or falling and landing from a height. Men between the ages of 30-40 are most commonly affected. Calf pain?

22.01.2022 Plantar fasciopathy is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a piece of thick tissue (similar to a tendon or ligament) that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. The inflammation is commonly caused by repetitive strain injury to that thick tissue. Things like excessive walking or running, or inappropriate shoes are common causes. Have you ever had pain in the arch of your foot? Give us a below (and then give us a call) we can help! #osteo #osteopathy #plantarfasciitis #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric

22.01.2022 Confused whether you should use heat or ice for treatment of an injury? Heat helps to reduce pain, increase blood flow, and relax tight muscles. Ice helps to reduce pain, reduce blood flow, and ease swelling caused by inflammation.... Both can be used for treatment of multiple injuries but need to be used at the right times depending on the injury. Speak to us today to find out more! After all, using the wrong one could do more harm than good. #osteo #osteopathy #heatvsice #heat #ice #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric

21.01.2022 Muscle fact: The SCM is a muscle that runs from the base of your skull, down the side of the neck and attaches to the chest and collar bones. It stands for: - Sterno - sternum or chest bone - Cleido - clavicle or collar bone - Mastoid - a bony bump on the base of the skull... This muscle helps to bend the neck sideways and forwards as well as rotate the head. It is also the main muscle involved with the condition ‘torticollis’. Now, let’s be honest who knew this fact? for yes, and for no comment below! #osteo #osteopathy #SCM #musclefacts #sternocleidomastoid #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric

20.01.2022 It’s exercise time! This month we give you the banded row. This awesome exercise is great for strengthening your back, core and arms, as well as being a great postural exercise. Either seated or standing: Find a post or pole and sling a resistance band around it, holding the two ends of the band in your hands.... Take a few steps back (or move your chair) to take up the slack of the band and stand/sit with your arms out straight in front of you. Pull the band towards you, keeping your arms tucked in close to your sides as they pass the body. Allow your elbows to bend as you take your arms behind you. Return to the start position and repeat. Try 3 sets of 20 reps to get you started. To make it harder, up the resistance of the band or move a little further away from your anchor point! Enjoy. #osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #exercise #bandedrow

20.01.2022 Did you know an adult human digestive tract (from the mouth to the other end!) can be up to 30 feet in length! That’s about 4 and a half times longer than Michael Jordan is tall who is 6 ft 6 inches! Osteopaths just love crazy anatomy facts like this. We will often blurt them out halfway through our treatments so be ready for anything! #osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #digestivetract #michaeljordan #anatomy

20.01.2022 November’s word of the month is ‘Coeliac’ (pron. see-lee-ac). Coeliac is the name given to a disease where people are unable to tolerate gluten in their diet. Gluten is a protein found in wheat products, as well as barley and rye. Coeliac disease leads to damage of the lining of the small intestine which then leads to poor nutrient absorption by the body (aka malnutrition). This condition affects both sexes and all ages. If you’re coeliac and have a delicious gluten-free re...cipe recommendation, please share #osteo #osteopathy #wordofthemonth #coeliacdisease #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging

16.01.2022 It’s osteo word of the month time! This month’s word is ATLAS. And no, we don’t mean the book of maps. Atlas is the name given to the first vertebrae in the neck. It’s the bone which the skull sits on and is referred to as C1. It is shaped like a ring and has a close relationship to the second vertebrae, the Axis, or C2. Now, raise your hand if you knew about the Atlas? #osteo #osteopathy #bones #wordofthemonth #atlas... #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric See more

14.01.2022 Protein junky? When we eat protein, our body breaks it down into small pieces called ‘amino acids’. These are the building blocks of life! The body uses them to make protein for growth and repair, as well as many other functions. Our bodies produce some of these amino acids (known as ‘non-essential amino acids’), but not all of them. We must get these ‘essential’ amino acids from the food we eat. Keep eating that protein people! #osteo #osteopathy #aminoacids #protein... #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric See more

11.01.2022 Have you been told you need a DEXA scan? This is a special kind of x-ray used to detect bone loss in our skeletons. People at risk of, or those that have osteoporosis may require a DEXA scan every now and then to check their levels and determine the severity of bone loss, which leaves our bones more prone to fractures. DEXA = Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Now that’s a mouthful! #osteo #osteopathy #DEXAscan #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging

04.01.2022 Love skiing? Have you heard of Skier’s thumb? Commonly seen in skiers, as well as rugby, netball and basketball players, it happens when the thumb is forced outwards beyond the limit of its movement range. The ligaments that hold the joint together at the base of the thumb sprain or tear leading to pain, swelling, and loss of function of the thumb which can affect the ability to use the hand in everyday tasks. Sprained your thumb recently? Never leave it to chance, come and s...ee us today.

03.01.2022 Our founding father, Andrew Taylor Still, once said When you have adjusted the physical to its normal demands, nature supplies the remainder. A deeply important principle to osteopathy underpins this quote That structure governs function in the body. Osteopaths do not heal disease; we try to create the ideal environment for the body to heal itself. #osteo #osteopathy #AndrewTaylorStill... #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric See more

02.01.2022 Did you know we can help with your breathing? And THAT is important! A healthy diaphragm helps maximise your oxygen intake, with minimal effort. When it’s not working quite as it should, then your body begins relying on all its secondary breathing muscles (especially those around the neck). This can cause imbalances and muscle tightness, leading to pain in the neck, shoulders and upper back. So, if you’re experiencing tightness in any of these areas, come and see us we’ll g...et your breathing patterns sorted and have you breathing at max capacity again in no time. And exhale. #osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric

01.01.2022 This month’s muscle madness focusses on the Triceps Brachii, or just ‘triceps’. This is a muscle found on the back of the upper arm. It helps to move the arm backwards and also straighten the elbow. The word triceps stands for ‘three-heads’, which refers to the three attachment points of the muscle in the arm and shoulder region. Interestingly, there is also another Triceps in the body: Triceps Surae. Comment below if you know where it is found (or just have a guess! ). #osteo #osteopathy #musclemadness #tricepsmuscle #triceps #healthandfitness #osteopathyworld #wellness #adjustment #advice #massage #exerciseprogram #manipulation #skeletal #muscular #health #holistic #natural #selfcare #strength #active #medical #pain #sunshinecoast #localbusiness #healthandwellbeing #injury #sport #body #sportsinjury #aging #paediatric

01.01.2022 Our word of the month is ‘jejunum’ (pronounced ‘juh-joo-num’). This is the second part of our small intestine and is responsible for digesting certain foods that pass through from the stomach. So, it has a pretty important job if you ask us!
