18.02.2022 Often we will find that tight spots in these muscles can refer pain into the forehead region above your eyes and eyebrow region. @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au ... #osteopath #epping #movement #pain #MSK #movement #stress #tension #stretch #holistic #muscletightness #neckpain #headaches

07.02.2022 Have you heard of the subscapularis muscles before? Maybe not, but we're sure you've heard of the rotator cuff muscles before. Subscapularis is one of the four rotator cuff muscles and it sits on the underside of your shoulder blade. As a result of its position, it often it can be hard to contact directly, but as we can see pictured here, Osteopath, Dr Melanie Longano is performing a technique to help release tension through this muscle. @northernalliedhealth ... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #pain #MSK #movement #stress #tension #stretch #holistic #muscletightnes #shoulderpain #rotatorcuff

25.01.2022 The scalene muscles originate from your cervical spine (upper neck) and insert onto your first 2 ribs. Its main function is movement of the head and neck and it is also an accessory breathing muscle. As such, it commonly contributes to neck pain. @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au ... #osteopath #epping #movement #pain #MSK #movement #stress #tension #stretch #holistic #muscletightness #headaches #neckpain

24.01.2022 Not only can laying on a towel vertically down your spine help with opening your chest, but it can help to reset your posture by eliminating gravity for a short period of time. @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au... #osteopath #epping #movement #mobility #posture #gravity #relax #mindful

22.01.2022 Are your hamstrings feeling sore? Here’s a quick clip from osteopath Dr Melanie Longano on how to use a foam roller effectively! Start by using your upper body strength to prop yourself up so that the foam roller fits nicely under your leg. Then roll your leg forwards and backwards to make sure you get any area that is giving you the most discomfort. Foam rollers can help provide relief from muscle tension in pretty much any area of your body!... @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #wellness #osteopathyworks #holisticapproach #holisticwellness #hamstring #foamroller

22.01.2022 One of the attachment sites for the Quadratus Lumborum muscle is the 12th rib, which makes it very important for stabilization of both the vertebral column and the rib cage during various movements of the spine. @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au... #osteopath #epping #movement #spine #abdomen #strength #stability

17.01.2022 This exercise is a strengthening exercise for a small muscle that sits on the inside of the knee. This exercise may help if you are having some instability issues or some pain in your knee. @northernalliedhealth... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #kneepain #kneediscomfort #ACL #stability #rehab #rehabilitation #injuryprevention

17.01.2022 This muscle does have some important roles when supporting through the lower rib cage and the spine, but it can also be a source of pain through there. @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au... #osteopath #epping #movement #QL #spine #abdomen #strength #stability #stretch #backpain #backtightness #backstretch

16.01.2022 Don't push yourself through this exercise. Remember to breathe. Hold this one for 30 seconds and then slowly return yourself up to the centre. @northernalliedhealth... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #QL #spine #abdomen #strength #stability #stretch #backpain #backtightness #backstretch

16.01.2022 Shoulder pain? We have a range of different special orthopaedic tests that we use, coupled with your history of what happened, to help diagnose your pain. @northernalliedhealth... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #shoulderpain #testing #diagnosis #treatmentplan #roadtorecovery

15.01.2022 Your lower back (lumbar spine) and your upper back (thoracic spine), can be impacted differently depending on what forces you are putting through your body. That is why it is important for our osteopaths to assess them individually to understand how your body is moving and how we can help you best! @northernalliedhealth... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #mobility #lumbarspine #thoracicspine #lumbarroll #treatment #backpain

14.01.2022 Feeling tension in your thighs? Here’s a video on how you can use a foam roller to give the sore muscles some relief. You’ll want to use upper body strength in order to give yourself support when rolling the foam roller up and down your outer thigh. @northernalliedhealth ... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #wellness #osteopathyworks #holisticapproach #holisticwellness #foamroller See more

14.01.2022 As we work from home or return to life in the office, a sedentary posture can promote the shortening of our pectoral or chest muscles. It is important to stay aware of this and help to decrease tension through this region as it can have a flow on effect on your posture. @northernalliedhealth... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #pecs #stretching #cheststretch #pecinhibition #neckpain #backpain

14.01.2022 Shoulder pain is impacted not just from your true shoulder joint, known as the gleno-humeral joint, but also through the movement of your scapula, aka the shoulder blade. @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au... #osteopath #epping #movement #shoulderpain #muscle #anatomy #mobility #injuryprevention #rehab #prehab #healthyjoints #painrelief #knowledgeispower

13.01.2022 Shoulder pain is something that osteopaths treat quite frequently. Our shoulders can take and carry a lot of stress whether it’s from an injury, other conditions, poor posture or even sitting in an unsupportive seat. It’s important to pay attention to what is causing tension or discomfort in our shoulders. If it’s from physical activity, maybe it’s a signal to revisit your technique while completing that activity. If it’s from poor posture, it could be time to have your wo...rk station assessed. @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #wellness #osteopathyworks #holisticapproach #holisticwellness #shoulderpain #shoulder

12.01.2022 In order to help release tension in these muscles, you're going to make a fist and place your hands underneath your head. From here, you're going to use the weight of your head to release these muscles by resting them on your fifth knuckle. @northernalliedhealth ... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #pain #MSK #movement #stress #tension #stretch #holistic #muscletightness #neckpain #headaches

12.01.2022 It is important to strengthen muscles around your knee to help promote strength and stability through your knee. This is why when you are experiencing knee pain, this is an area Osteopath's will look at and assess. Stay tuned for further videos of these exercises to follow. ... @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #kneepain #quad #quads #rehab #rehabilitation #exercise

08.01.2022 Place your towel longways or vertically, and then you're going to sit in front of your towel and proceed to lie on it. We want it in the upper part of your back to the mid part, not down in the lower part of your back.... So try and line it up in those spots. You can have your knees up or your knees down. You can place your arms by your side, which will help stretch across the front of your chest. If that feels too uncomfortable, you can just have your arms by your side here. @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #stretching #mobility #upperbackposture #posture #relaxing

06.01.2022 One of the key benefits of using a foam roller is that it can focus on tight areas in our bodies and be helpful in targeting less mobile regions too. When you are using your foam roller, hold it in that specific area for a little longer than usual, then go back to working the entire muscle. A foam roller can be very beneficial to treating muscle pain and a decrease in mobility in almost any part of our bodies!... @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #wellness #osteopathyworks #holisticapproach #holisticwellness #foamroller

04.01.2022 A few of the most common conditions that can cause hand and wrist pain are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinopathies, ligamentous strains and sprains, and arthritis. Often, they are caused by sport injuries, inflammation and repetitive strain - which can lead to a lot of discomfort. However, relief is possible!

04.01.2022 This stretch is really helpful if you are getting some tightness in your lower back. This is a very deep stretch and a very strong stretch, so this one will not be for everybody. But if you feel you can attempt it, have a go.... @northernalliedhealth www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #QL #spine #abdomen #strength #stability #stretch #backpain #backtightness #backstretch

31.12.2021 Lower back pain is one of the most common presentations that we see enter the clinic. As we are sitting for longer periods of the day, our back is accumulating tension, that can lead to pain or discomfort. @northernalliedhealth ... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #pain #MSK #movement #stress #tension #stretch #holistic #muscletightness #backpain #sitting

18.12.2021 The Scalene muscle group is composed of three parts. The three parts are the anterior, middle, and posterior. They have a significant impact on the neck and can contribute significantly to neck discomfort. @northernalliedhealth ... www.nahosteo.com.au #osteopath #epping #movement #pain #MSK #movement #stress #tension #stretch #holistic #muscletightness #headaches #neckpain
