24.01.2022 Have you considered a single therapy such as OsteoStrong to help reduce AC1 levels (long-term blood glucose) in Type II Diabetes, like one of our members pictured? .

24.01.2022 A healthy outside starts from the inside. Robert Urich Health comes in many forms: healthy body, a healthy mind, healthy relationships Some people face physical health issues, but work on keeping a positive mind. This helps immensely. Though everyone faces challenges, (physical, mental, emotional) when we intentionally do the best we can, & course-correct along the way, we optimize whatever situation we are in.... Most anyone can take a daily walk, get some Vitamin D outdoors, eat a little more healthily, & get enough sleep. When negative thinking comes up, challenge it - you are not your thoughts. We all have heard these things, but give yourself a boost by putting them into practice. What would help you the most? Even one small tweak can improve your health in more ways than you know.

20.01.2022 #thoughtfulthursday Its amazing knowing that we can improve our immune system by improving the health of our bones/bone marrow. Red & white blood cells (immune cells) are created in bone marrow inside your bones. Studies show a direct correlation between white blood cell count & healthy bone mineral density.... And... GUESS WHAT!? Our Spectrum machines stimulate osteogenesis which promotes healthy blood cells called osteoclasts & osteoblasts. These cells are critical to keep bones and blood healthy. So, the healthier your bones are, the healthier your immune system is. Are you ready to take the next step in creating a stronger foundation? Well get you started on your journey to your #strongestself!

17.01.2022 Building on our prevention theme- Cancer screening rates are worryingly low since the arrival of COVID-19. Research from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare showed there was a 30% drop in mammograms nationally from January to June, while cervical cancer screening rates fell 45% during the same period. Bowel screening rates were also down over that time, with 145,000 fewer tests completed, compared to the same time last year.... When it comes to health, prevention is better than cure. Reschedule that health check you’ve missed or have been putting off.

17.01.2022 The team at OsteoStrong Hawthorn are here for our community and wed love to hear from you. Are you ok?

11.01.2022 CONNECT WITH THE EARTH: . When you enter our Hawthorn wellness centre, you are not just embarking on a bone density strengthening program. There is SO MUCH MORE that we offer, and our experienced & knowledgeable team are just bursting at the seams to not only educate but support you in all things health & wellness. . We often get questions around our PEMF mats like what does it really do? and how is it helping me when I can’t feel anything?. Quite simply, these mats us...e the earths magnetic fields which are low frequency and low intensity, to pulse throughout the body working at an internal level, stimulating your muscle cells to give you numerous long term benefits. In fact, PEMF is widely used as a treatment by hospitals in Europe, as well as professional athletes all around the world for preparation and recovery! (1) . Think about when you go to the beach & kick off your shoes to walk in the sand. Other than the actual feeling of the beautiful soft sand beneath your feet, do you really feel & understand the benefits you’re actually receiving? Probably not! Other than the feel-good factor you get...unless of course you’ve researched the positive effects of grounding & earthing. To put it simply, when you connect to the earth barefoot, you are absorbing electrons & the amount you absorb is determined by the amount your body needs to balance the electrical charges inside you. This means that we become electrically stable through these electrons in the ground...this in turn leads to better blood flow, reduces inflammation, improves your immunity & pain management, as well sleep, and decreases stress in our bodies. . So in conjunction with weekly PEMF sessions in our centre, try as often as possible to walk around barefoot. No excuses now we’ve got much warmer weather & heading into Summer here in Australia. . .

01.01.2022 ONE IN FIVE AUSTRALIANS LIVE WITH PERSISTENT PAIN... . This week is #nationalpainweek2020 and we thought we would highlight some key points of individuals living with chronic pain. 1. Its not one size fits all.... The experience of pain differs greatly from individual to individual including biological factors, to social factors and also psychological factors and requires a wider treatment plan. . 2. Pain affects all areas of health & an individuals life. Minimize judgement and assumptions about what a person should be able to do. . 3. Pain is real, debilitating & exhausting. Lets really listen to a persons story- openly with support and compassion. . 4. Living with chronic pain can be isolating & depressing. Reach out- be on someones team - adopt an open mind and be there for others whole heartedly. Love and connection - sending good vibes and virtual hugs to our community #painmanagement #australianpain #chronicpain #persistentpain #painfree #communitylove #innerstrength
