24.01.2022 If you were wondering about the colourful patient gowns we have they are sourced from Cambodia. We pay a premium price for them but do so in the knowledge that the money goes to pay a decent wage to the girls to keep them away from the sex trade. Definite feel good factor in having them.

21.01.2022 Social distancing and osteopathy. Dear valued clients, Many of you may be wondering about your osteopathic appointment and adhering to the 1.5m or 2x2msq. social distancing recommendation. Currently, social distancing applies to non-essential gatherings. As healthcare practitioners, osteopathy does NOT fall under this category. Please understand that information is constantly being modified but we will keep you updated if anything changes as soon as possible.... *all images are credited towards their original source.

20.01.2022 Dear Patients and Carers, Due to the ongoing situation relating to COVID-19, we were wanting to inform everyone of our procedures as well as extra precautions we are taking to help minimize risk and to maintain ongoing safety for both our patients and staff. The Australian Government has announced that all international arrivals need to self-isolate for 14 days from the day of their return. Therefore, all patients, carers and staff attending NQ Osteopathic Clinic who have re...turned from overseas recently are required to self-isolate for 14 days regardless of which country they have travelled from. The Government has also imposed a ban on non-essential gatherings of over 500 people. This does not apply to NQ Osteo Clinic. Therefore, we will continue to be open as per our normal hours of operation, until further notice. We understand that some patients are choosing to remain at home and cancel existing appointments in an effort to align with social distancing. - No cancellation policy applies during this period until further notice. In this instance, please ensure you notify us if you will be not be attending with a minimum of 4 hrs notice If you are experiencing any signs and symptoms of viral infection including cough, fever, whole body aches, runny nose, chills, or sore throat, please DO NOT ATTEND. - If you need to reschedule at the present time, we are open for business as usual. The measures we have always undertaken include: - Daily clinic cleaning - Cover sheets used per patient - All linen is changed after every patient and laundered daily - Practitioners wash their hands before and after every patient In addition to our current procedures, we will regularly be disinfecting areas where multiple people will be likely to be in contact (i.e door handles, chairs, tabletops etc). If you would like to wear a mask, please do. We are keeping up to date with the latest advice from the World Health Organization as well as following the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Association and National guidelines. This is an evolving situation and we will keep you updated as things change. Our priority is to always ensure the health and safety of our patients and team. Thank you for your consideration!

19.01.2022 There are a few common misconceptions about osteopathy. Let's clear them up! Add any misconceptions you've heard below and share this handy infographic with your friend.

19.01.2022 This is how weight loss works.

17.01.2022 Steve Jobs dies a billionaire, with a fortune of $7 billion, at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer, and here are some of his last words... In other e...yes, my life is the essence of success, but aside from work, I have a little joy. And in the end, wealth is just a fact of life to which I am accustomed. At this moment, lying on the bed, sick and remembering all my life, I realize that all my recognition and wealth that I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death. You can hire someone to drive a car for you, make money for you but you can not rent someone to carry the disease for you. One can find material things, but there is one thing that can not be found when it is lost LIFE. Treat yourself well, and cherish others. As we get older we are smarter, and we slowly realize that the watch is worth $30 or $300 both of which show the same time. Whether we carry a purse worth $30 or $300 the amount of money in the wallets are the same. Whether we drive a car worth $150,000, or a car worth $30,000 the road and distance are the same, we reach the same destination. If we drink a bottle worth $300 or wine worth $10 the stroller will be the same. If the house we live in is 300 square meters, or 3000 square meters the loneliness is the same. Your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Whether youre flying first class, or economy class if the plane crashes, you crash with it. So, I hope you understand that when you have friends or someone to talk to this is true happiness! Five Undeniable Facts 1 Do not educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the price. 2 Eat your food as medicine, otherwise you will need to eat your medicine as food. 3 Whoever loves you will never leave you, even if he has 100 reasons to give up. He/She will always find one reason to hold on. 4 There is a big difference between being human and human being. 5 If you want to go fast go alone! But if you want to go far go together. And in conclusion... The six best doctors in the world 1 Sunlight 2 Rest 3 Exercise 4 Diet 5 Self-confidence 6 Friends Keep them in all stages of life and enjoy a healthy life. Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends... Treat yourself well. Cherish others. Love the people God sent you, one day Hell need them back. Something worth sharing!!!

16.01.2022 Happy Friday when your boss buys cupcakes! Thanks Peter!

15.01.2022 Sleep Awareness Week! Before you buy another mattress, or an expensive pillow, consider that if your body is tense, in spasm, chronically a bit sore and you fee...l stiff, then dropping off to sleep and staying asleep is going to be very difficult. To sleep we need to become flaccid, deeply relaxed. If you cant relax deeply, then sleep will elude you. In particular think about your upper back, at the junction of the rib cage and the neck. If thats tight, sleep is very hard. This tension may be almost below awareness if youve had it for a long time. Does taking a couple of panadol help you sleep? If so, theres another clue. Removing pain and inflammation using a fairly benign drug like panadol indicates that there is a musculoskeletal problem preventing you from dropping off. To sleep we need to be bodytension free, we need to have a drop in body temperature, we need to be hydrated and not over full. As for pillows? The feather ones at IKEA that have two densities are great and very affordable. Mattress? Not too soft, not too hard. Partner snoring? Send him or her to the RPA sleep clinic and make him or her sleep on the couch. See more

15.01.2022 Notice the date. This outbreak is nothing to be shocked about. Also notice that caronaviruses can undergo genetic recombination. So don't expect a vaccine to ...solve the problem. What you can do is live a clean healthy life. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, exercise and rest. Your own immune system is paramount. See more

11.01.2022 The life impact of chronic pain Whilst invisible, pain is very real for the 6.9 million Australians living with musculoskeletal conditions. Whilst debilitating,... the reality is that without pain management, a third (34%) of Australians who are impacted by chronic pain, will develop mental health conditions. Musculoskeletal pain is the leading cause of disability for a third (28%) of Australians which leads to a feeling comparable to burning or tingling, leaving those living with pain unable to work, sleep or even walk. In support of National Pain Week, Osteopath and Pain Educator, Dr Elizabeth Howard talks about the impacts of pain on the whole body.

10.01.2022 Nearly everyone has a headache at some stage of their life. Constant reoccurring headaches can become debilitating and frustrating! The most common form of head...ache is a tension headache, which is usually brought on by a irritation or inflammation of pain sensitive structures in the head and neck. The pain can feel like a dull ache, pressure and or tenderness in the head and neck. Osteopaths commonly treat tension headaches and may help locate areas of tension to treat muscles and joints to relieve your head pain.
