25.01.2022 This week the Chief Health Officer strongly recommended that face masks be worn in primary health settings, where social distancing cannot be maintained. To help ensure the health and safety of our patients and staff we are requiring patients to wear face masks during treatment. This decision was not made lightly and we understand that it may be inconvenient but the health of our patients and staff is our highest priority. You can either bring along your own mask to wear du...ring treatment or you can purchase a surgical mask for $1. Please note, children under 12 years of age are not required to wear a mask and exceptions can be made for medical reasons. We hope that this will only be a temporary measure while there is current community transmission in South East Queensland. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us via email [email protected] or call us on Ph 3385 0200. Thank you for your understanding

25.01.2022 Covid-19 Update - https://mailchi.mp/northsidetherapies/covid-19-update

24.01.2022 Triceps Brachii, or just triceps 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

24.01.2022 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) #osteopathy #plantarfasciitis

20.01.2022 You wouldnt think it, but walking is actually a pretty complex activity! Did you know that you use around 200 muscles in just a single step?

Dont 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! #osteopathy #gait #walking

18.01.2022 Why have Remedial Massage? Massage reduces muscle tension and increases the blood flow and lymphatic flow both to and from the area being treated, reducing pain, swelling and inflammation. It helps to break down fibrous tissue, balances the muscles and restores joint elasticity and mobility. It can benefit people who have back pain and shoulder problems; sprains, strains or other injury; both pre and post natal; have arthritic conditions; and headaches.

16.01.2022 Bees are vital to any environment and as such is a key part of the community. Bees are productive little workers, benefitting their own colonies as well as the environments they live in. Without bees flying from plant to plant and pollinating them, the fruits and vegetables we eat would be in short supply.

14.01.2022 The top vertebrae of the neck is called the Atlas. No, we dont mean the book of maps. Atlas is the name given to the 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? #osteopathy #bones #atlas

13.01.2022 Headache is one of the commonest types of pain people experience. Your head and upper neck, eyes, ears, nasal sinuses, skin, muscle, joints and arteries are all extremely pain sensitive...and create that 'headache feeling', but your brain itself is insensitive to pain. Osteopaths are trained in clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment and support for a range of musculoskeletal conditions and pain management - including headaches.

10.01.2022 Eloise recently had her first Osteo treatment at Northside Therapies Treatment for babies is very gentle and aims at reducing tension and discomfort in little ones.

10.01.2022 Did you know we may be able help with your breathing? And THAT is important! A healthy diaphragm helps maximise your oxygen intake, with minimal effort. When its 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 youre experiencing tightness in any of these areas, come and see us well get your breathing patterns sorted and have you breathing at max capacity again in no time. #osteopathy #diaphragm #breathing

Mild aches and pains are normal when starting exercising and regular Remedial Massage can help. If you have pushed it a bit too hard and you are experiencing more intense pain or discomfort, Osteopathic treatment may assist with the symptoms and get you back to exercising again

08.01.2022 Pain in the extremities can have many causes. Pain could be due to an injury such as a sprain during sport or at work, overuse or poor footwear, repetitive movements, such as tennis elbow or golf elbow or altered muscle mechanics which is common in knee pain. Your Osteopath will assess the cause of your pain and if suitable for Osteopathic treatment, will work to address the cause of the problem to relive pain and restore your mobility.

07.01.2022 Do you suffer with pain during your sleep? One of the main issues with sleep related pain is the tension people hold through the night. When stressed, we often hold our muscles on a high level of tension. Before going to sleep, do a quick little body check of what's occurring. Are you contracting your neck and back muscles really tightly? How does your jaw feel? Have you been clenching your teeth?... Have your hands and arms felt tight and tense? Spend 5 minutes every night focusing on breathing, with every exhale let a part of your body relax: If your symptoms persist, consider getting assistance from a health professional. See more

05.01.2022 What you eat and drink can affect your bodys ability to prevent, fight and recover from infections and illnesses? Healthy diets are important for supporting immune systems and good nutrition can reduce the likelihood of developing other health problems, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer. Osteopaths are trained to provide clinical assessment, support and education to assist with lifestyle choices and change.

04.01.2022 Living with pain? Osteopaths are trained to help prevent the burden of persistent pain by identifying early signs and risk factors. Your osteopath will work with you to provide optimal management in conjunction with your GP or other health professionals.

01.01.2022 Did you know Osteopaths may help prevent or manage a wide range of pre- and post-natal conditions, either solely or in conjunction with other healthcare practitioners? After your baby is born, your osteopath may advise you to make return visits to prevent or manage problems like pelvic and low back strain, pelvic floor weakness, mastitis, incontinence, interrupted sleep and fatigue. An osteopath may also make referrals to other health professionals if needed. This will help you meet your babys needs, whilst caring for your own.

01.01.2022 With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in Queensland, that take effect from 1am tomorrow (25th September), we are no longer requiring patients to wear face masks during treatment. If you would prefer to have your practitioner wear a mask during your treatment, please let us know at reception and we will happily oblige.

01.01.2022 Do you have wrist pain following a fall on an out-stretched hand (otherwise referred to as FOOSH)? Seek medical attention quickly for a careful examination of the hand and wrist. These types of injury may lead to a scaphoid (one of the small wrist bones) fracture. A fracture to this bone becomes complicated if the blood supply to the bone is cut off. So its best to get checked out sooner rather than later! Most of the time we can help get you back to full function in the weeks that follow. #osteopathy #scaphoidfracture #FOOSH #wristpain

01.01.2022 Back or Neck pain? The reason you feel that pain can be quite varied: from sitting too long, injury, referred menstrual pain, postural problems or dysfunction in the thorax, lower limbs or pelvis. Osteopaths as primary health care practitioners are trained to differentiate between uncomplicated back and neck pain or that requiring referral to specialist care professionals.
