21.01.2022 Chances are, that you are reading this from your newly created home office. Whilst working from home can provide some sort of liberty to your life, whether it be working in your pyjamas or being able to do that extra load of washing. It also presents a potential issue whereby you become more susceptible to aches and pains, headaches and other discomforts because you are spending more time in a makeshift place in your home as opposed to a tailormade set up at work. For starte...rs, it’s best to choose a flat surface to be the foundation for your mouse and keyboard. You require adequate space underneath the table of your choice so that you are not cramped and have the ability to stretch out. Ideally, you would like to be set up with your knees at a similar height to your hips or slightly lower and that there is a gap approximately 2-3 fingers wide between the back of your knees and the front of your chair. Does your chair not have lumbar support? No problem! Let’s improvise! Now that you are situated at home you have access to towels and pillows freely. No, I’m not talking about going to have a quick nap I’m referring to going to grab one and bring it back to your newly made work chair. Place it behind your lower back so that you can feel that you are in a position where your shoulders are relaxed, your back is straight, the angle between your hips and knees is appropriate and your feet are placed firmly on the floor. Your screen should be approximately arm’s distance away. Ideally, you will have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to maximise your work ergonomics instead of reaching forward to your laptop and exhibiting a hunched posture. Next, make sure that the top of the screen is in line with your eye level to avoid straining. Now, this may require boosting up your laptop or monitor. Feel free to use books, shoe boxes or books. #workfromhome #wfh #posture #backpain

12.01.2022 Your follow up consultation is imperative to see how you are going with the strategies that were discussed in the initial consult. We review the previous consultation to see what has improved and what still needs work. Together we will identify what proved challenging and what can be progressed. As such, the advice and strategies will be amended to your current presentation to advance your management plan. #telehealth #webhealth #online #wfh #osteopath
09.01.2022 What is Telehealth? #Telehealth is the act of providing healthcare remotely through technology. As an Osteopath, I have set up my own site which will help me to conduct these consultations online. Despite not being able to use my hands-on skills, ultimately, hands-on treatment is just one technique that I possess as a healthcare professional and is simply just a temporary relief of pain. ... However, the long term pain relief comes in the education and administration of recovery strategies for you to put in place at home. So whilst this time has forced profession #adapt, like many others, it is actually a logical progression. Empowering you with tailor-made strategies for you to carry out in your home. So before you even start it is made sure that you are already know how and where you can action the personalised strategies and exercises. #osteopath #osteopathy #neckpain #posture www.optinhealthcare.com.au See more
09.01.2022 A Webhealth consultation would work in the same manner as a normal appointment, if you were to see a practitioner in person. It will begin with a history of your presentation, signs, symptoms, your expectations and what you want to achieve. We will then go through an assessment, which will require you to replicate what you are having trouble with. Then we will provide you with information that you can take away and implement. this will include, stretches, exercises self-treatment directions, postural advice and ergonomic guidance. #telehealth #webhealth #videoconsultation #onlinehealth #osteopathy
