21.01.2022 Single shoulder assessments can be grouped together to improve diagnostic accuracy. Even then pain doesn’t always equal tissue damage. By assessing the shoulder we can monitor tissue and CNS sensitivity when challenging the shoulder in positions that may provoke flare up. By retesting we can assess for changes in tissue sensitivity and confidence in motion. Im at City Osteopathy this morning then Box Hill this afternoon. For appointments click on Linktr.ee in my bio.

18.01.2022 Foam rolling is hugely popular intervention! The mechanism of action has been debated since its inception. Some current research indicates it works on the central nervous system to improve our tolerance to stretch and movement. If you are not a fan of foam rolling there are many other ways to do so this. Book in to find out how with myself Dr. Pete Lockhart (osteopath) or one of our other dedicated team. We are open at City Osteopathy across both locations cityosteopathy.com.au for appointments.

15.01.2022 I’ve had a little irritation around my right AC joint. External rotation has been flaring up my pain at end range. I’ve had to this modify exercise due to local and central sensitivity. I can make changes to this one exercise by decreasing sets, reps or load. I can alter my scapula position and decrease the tension in glenohumeral adduction. There are many ways to change one exercise to better facilitate where your body is currently at. The advantage of doing something rather... than nothing include increasing confidence, increasing strength and decreasing central and peripheral sensitisation. There are no absolutes and sometimes there are caveats to this. Come see me at City Osteopathy in Melbourne or Box Hill Osteopathy. cityosteopathy.com.au or boxhillosteopathy.com.au #osteo #osteopathy #osteomed #exercise #acjoint #shoulderpain #painscience #rehab #prehab #cityosteopathy #boxhillosteopath See more

10.01.2022 Manual therapy provides a stop gap in the pain cycle. It makes use of temporary changes in the nervous systems interpretation of tightness. Nothing solidifies results like following with appropriate strength work. Here’s an exercise I gave to a patient last week. Bulgarian split squats. These work hamstrings and quads whilst stretching the hip flexors. Because this is a compound movement, many other muscles are involved too. I’m at City Osteopathy Thursday and Box Hill from Thursday onwards. Come and see me at one of the clinics. Thanks to @thesurfing.osteopath for inspo. #osteo #cityosteo #cityosteopathy #osteopath #boxillosteopathy #boxhill #painscience #rehab #prehab #simplesolutions #physicaltherapy Book through the links http://boxhillosteopathy.com.au or https://cityosteopathy.com.au

10.01.2022 Looking after some minor hand pain. Dry needling adductor digit minimi. Modifying symptoms is one component of a bigger picture. Comprehensive history, manual treatment, pain education and self management direction make for a great combination #dryneedling #selfmanagement #manualtherapy #osteopathicmedicine #osteo #handpain #melbourneosteo #melbourneosteopath #boxhillosteo #boxhillosteopath #backpain #wristpain #rehab #prehab Few spots in Box Hill left this week.

01.01.2022 This guy may need an osteopath by the end of the day! Or maybe he’s conditioned to it. The body is highly adaptable. Pain is often the result of lack of movement or the introduction of loads to which the body is not ready for. I’m at City Osteopathy West today and Box Hill tomorrow. Click the link in my bio.
