24.01.2022 One of the MANY benefits of massage therapy is improved circulation throughout your body. You see, your blood carries oxygen and nutrients that are used by your body to do everything from making new cells, to repairing wounds, to giving cells the energy needed to complete the oh-so-many chemical processes they perform every day to keep you going and feeling great. As we age, our natural circulation can be impaired. This is why you often feel better, energised, and like you h...ave a clearer head after a massage! If youre looking for an experienced massage therapist, Lyle Lucht can help.

22.01.2022 Recent advice from our team at The Physio! Wondered if the position of your childs backpack is hurting their back? Here are some tips to help your kids wear their backpack comfortably! Sit the bag higher up on the back, as opposed to lower down... Always have two WIDE straps. Avoid single shoulder straps or narrow straps Make sure the backpack size is proportionate to your child, sitting above the hip bones and no lower than 5cm below the top of the shoulders Use the bag compartments well! Pack lighter items in the outside pockets, and heavier items in the large inner pocket, closest to your childs back Use the waist-strap if the back-pack has one! See more

17.01.2022 Rotator cuff injuries = ouchhhh! If you lift your arm up to reach a high shelf and are met with PAIN, then you might have a rotator cuff injury. Other symptoms include:... Pain or tenderness around the shoulder joint, specifically at the top of the shoulder and down the outside of the upper arm Weakness when lifting your arm above shoulder height Heaviness when trying to lift or move your arm Stiffness and general difficulty with movement If this sounds all too familiar, then its important to come in and get checked! Because it CAN get worse and more damaged. So please be careful! A rotator cuff injury can really disrupt your days and can even make grabbing your wallet out from your back pocket, fastening your bra or grabbing your seatbelt very painful and difficult! Especially if youre trying to do all 3 at the same time... If youre in pain and need help, give us a call and well book you in with one of our experienced physios!

02.01.2022 Heres Physiotherapist, Pieter, talking about how we help you start running!

02.01.2022 Ice OR heat - which should you be using after a workout? Ice works by constricting the blood vessels, helping to reduce inflammation by decreasing the blood ...flow to the area. This means less pain and potentially less damage to the tissues. Heat helps dilate your blood vessels, promote blood flow, clear waste products from the body and help your muscles relax. While both are very different, they can both help your recovery when used appropriately, and many people alternate both to help control and reduce exercise-related muscle pain. However you use ice and heat, don't forget to: Never apply heat or ice directly to the skin, do so through a towel or hot water bottle, or limit the temperature Never apply heat to an open wound, or ice to someone that is already very cold Stay mindful of your other conditions - like if you have sensation loss from diabetes, as you may not be able to feel the effects of the heat/ice and prolonged exposure to either may cause an injury or further damage If you have an injury and you need help to recovery effectively and in a timely manner, we're here to help!

01.01.2022 Are you okay? After everything that this year has brought with it, its fair to say that many of us have gone through a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Today is R U OK day, where we encourage our team, and you, to check in with someone and ask how theyre doing.
