20.01.2022 Just a quick message from the clinic to let our community know that we are still open and consulting. We have reduced the amount of physios working at one time to reduce congestion around the clinic and taken all necessary measures and precautions. As well as conducting Home Visits for many of our clients, we are also offering Telehealth appointments. ... If you have any questions at all, please call our reception staff on (07) 4723 2233.

16.01.2022 Welcome back Santa for 2019. The elf has been busy at NQPC

16.01.2022 NQPC is OPEN for Business as usual with bit of a hygiene twist! NQPC would like everyone to feel comfortable and are taking all precautions necessary to keep our staff and patients safe and healthy in this tricky, difficult period. When coming into the clinic please be prepared to have your temperature taken as an additional screening process. We would like to offer Home visits to those who are concerned about the risk of moving about in the community or are in high risk cat...egories. Please also feel free to call the clinic and speak with your physiotherapist if you would like any advice or have any questions, whilst you are recovering. If you are unwell, please do not attend your appointment. Our reception staff are happy to help reschedule your appointment for when you are feeling better. Yours in health, NQPC staff

16.01.2022 GETTING SICK OF SITTING??? Are you currently working from home or finding that you're sitting at the computer more during home isolation? Sitting at an ergonomically correct work station can help keep you comfortable and prevent back and neck pain setting in by the end of the day. Here's a few things to check:... *. Are your hips and knees bent to approximately 90 and your feet resting comfortably flat on the floor or a foot rest? *. Is your back supported by and resting against the back of the chair? *. Is your neck in line with the rest of your spine (no chin poke) and your eye gaze comfortably on the top 1/3 of the computer screen? * And if possible are your forearms supported and your wrists in a neutral position? Unfortunately not all home work spaces are perfect so don't forget to give yourself regular exercise/movement breaks. This can include going for a walk (either outside or between rooms in your house.......coffee time???), or by completing a series of quick little exercises to give your body a break from prolonged sitting. A few suggestions are: *. Sit to stand (repeat 3x everytime you stand from a chair). *. Marching on the spot x20. * Standing holding chair squat and then raise onto your toes X10. * Gentle back bends backwards or side to side x5-10. *. Gentle lunge steps to stretch the hip flexors (the muscles at the front of your hips that tighten with prolonged sitting). *. Shoulder rolls and neck rotations side to side. If you have any questions or would like some help to manage the effects of sitting, please don't hesitate to call the clinic. Keep moving and stay well everyone!!!

12.01.2022 Just a friendly reminder.
