22.01.2022 Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylalgia) is a common complaint we see at the Clinic. This pain can range from mildly annoying to completely debilitating. Many people put up with this issue for far too long thinking it will just get better. Literature shows it takes specific intervention to fully heal the underlying causes of Tennis elbow. Here’s our top 3 tips for decreasing your elbow pain! Avoid as many aggravating activities as possible change hands for mouse use or usi...ng a specific tool, put off that painting project for now etc. Ice the elbow / forearm muscles after an activity that has aggravated your pain- 10 -15 minutes is recommended. Get a special counterforce elbow brace it’s difficult to stop all wrist and arm movements during your daily activities so a counterforce tennis elbow brace is often recommended to stop tension running up your forearm muscles before it gets to your elbow to allow the tendon fibres to heal. They are available at our clinics talk to our team for more information. Call one of our friendly staff today on 3470 1203 to experience healthcare that cares and get that elbow sorted!

21.01.2022 The International Headache Society reports that TTH is the most common type of primary headache with up to 70% of the population being affected during their lifetime. TENSION HEADACHES are normally described as constant pressure, tightness or squeezing pain & is frequently located on both sides or all over the head, although occasionally, like migraine it can be one-sided. What causes Tension Headaches?... Those suffering from Tension-Type Headache (TTH) often report that their headaches are triggered by ‘’stress’’ or ‘’tension in the neck and shoulders’’. Other triggers commonly include prolonged or poor posture at the computer, driving or sedentary tasks, neck dysfunction, medication overuse and fatigue. Often a massage, warm shower, exercise or pain medications can alleviate the pain for it to only return at a later time or the next day. THE SOLUTION The good news is this brainstem sensitivity can be treated with an integrated and combined therapy approach, with a critical step being expert screening of the upper neck as a primary contributor of sensitivity in the brainstem3,4. Our unique combined therapy approach is logical and evidence-based and aimed at decreasing the sensitivity in the brainstem at the headache headquarters with a number of safe treatment options individualized to your headache type. Our sister clinic @theheadacheandmigraineclinic which is located in our Orion clinic can help. CHECK out our headache and migraine clinic website for more information.

20.01.2022 When experiencing a PANIC ATTACK our body becomes stressed & tense. There are many strategies to reduce a panic attack. Here are some easy steps to stop or reduce a panick attack, to calm down your body & tension 1. Breathing ~ breathing is vital for our body to release tension. Remember to take deep stomach breathes, & slowly breathing out. Doing this a few times & slowly. One technique we teach our clients is to place one hand on your stomach & the other on your forehead.../ back of neck while taking deep slow breathes. This allows you to feel the control of your breathing which then allows focus. You can do this for a few minutes. 2. Practice MINDFULNESS ~ mindfulness can help create peace, inner relaxation to release the tension in your body & mind. It can also support in developing a new response when you start to feel anxiety & fear. Mindfulness can be done in many ways. One that we practice is thinking positive thoughts, & also focusing into a place that brings peace & happiness. This can also assist in reducing headaches & migraines. Some people experience a headache & migraine after a panic attack as our necks/body experiences such tension. Practicing mindfulness is one way that can support to reduce this from happening. 3. MUSCLE RELAXATION TECHNIQUES ~ Focus on relaxing a part of your body. Simple start with one part of your body, example could be your feet. Twinkling your toes, focusing on how the tension releases as you focus. Then moving to your hands, fingers, shoulders, neck etc. This then allows your body to relax. Releasing the tension & relaxing your body & mind

18.01.2022 Tonight we got down again to our fave local running group - Springfield Runners Group (SRG) - to support and speak at their kick off "Beginners/Returners" sessions. On a slightly chilly Wednesday night 60+ ppl came to take part and start their running journeys! Awsm! We have seen so many bodies but also lives transformed and friendships made over many years now of supporting SRG and the new beginners intro programs! Amazing! ... So whether it’s from couch to your first 5km or getting your 5km to a 50km race - whatever your goal you won’t find a group of more supportive and encouraging ppl! Also if you become an SRG member (a mere $20 a year) you get a FREE initial consult with us for a body scan and treatment of any niggles or injuries or you can even book in a more comprehensive running assessment with video analysis. Great to chat to everyone there tonight with President Mark and VP Jason and Treasurer Kerry and the team of amazing volunteers and to see the joy and excitement on everyone’s faces setting out to achieve their goals is priceless. #spiritofsrg

07.01.2022 How can you be more active at work? Here's a tip for those that have to do some driving as part of your work. Car and truck seats are not great for posture, so putting a small pillow (or even a pool noodle vertically) behind your back can help a lot with posture. Extra tip: It’s a good idea to get out of the car to stretch the hamstrings every 45 minutes to prevent them from becoming tight and pulling on the back. #HealthcareThatCares #longdriving

07.01.2022 Top evidence-based treatments to get rid of a Cervicogenic Headache! Cervicogenic headache (CGH) is a headache that arises from tension and loading in the upper components of your neck and is felt in one or more areas of the head and/or face. What treatments we can do:... Cervical spine manipulation or mobilization - your Physio will generally spend some treatment time carefully and effectively loosening the joints in your neck to relieve pain and tension. Strengthening exercises your Physio will show you the correct exercises for your exact presentation these will often include strengthening the deep neck flexors and upper quarter muscles. Thoracic spine mobilisation and manipulation your Physio often treat your upper and mid back as tightness in these areas can contribute to your neck stiffening to predispose to your headache symptoms. You may also be taught how to do this yourself at home as well. Self-Neck Glides (SNAG’s) are a specific group of exercises that have been shown to be effective for reducing cervicogenic headache symptoms. Call one of our friendly staff today on 3470 1203 to experience healthcare that cares and get that headache gone!

01.01.2022 With 60% of us not getting enough physical activity, the last thing we need is more reasons not to exercise. Yet wrong-headed beliefs that imply exercise is too hard or harmful just create more barriers and excuses to stop us from even trying. Check out these top myths you can now ignore. If you're ever unsure what to believe ask your Physio at your next appointment on what you can safely attempt. #HealthcareThatCares #GetActive #ChoosePhysio #NoMoreExcuses http://ed.gr/sr3n
