23.01.2022 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, lets be honest who knew this fact? for yes, and for no comment below! #osteopathy #SCM #musclefacts #sternocleidomastoid

23.01.2022 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.

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

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. #ribs #ribcage

02.01.2022 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
