25.01.2022 Brad is back! Brad Graf, our premiership Myotherapist, is back at Peak. We’re so thrilled to have him back in the clinic after his stint away with @richmond_fc. If you’ve got any aches and pains that need tending to jump on the website now or give us a call on 9813 1016.

25.01.2022 Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us here at Peak Osteopathy! 2019 has been a fantastic year for the clinic and we cant wait to help you achieve all your health goals in 2020. We will reopen on the 2nd of January but dont forget you can always book online by visiting our website www.peakosteo.com.au See you all in 2020! @ Peak Osteopathy

25.01.2022 With the @AFL season forced to move interstate, our short term loss is @collingwood_fc’s gain with our very own Nick Brasher currently away in the hub as part of his role as Collingwood’s Osteopath. Nick will be back as soon as possible but we wish the Pies every success in this unprecedented season. In the interim those patients that normally see Nick are encouraged to see one of our other fantastic Osteopaths. If you would like to see one of our great practitioners please check out our webpage or contact the clinic now on 9813 1016. #osteopathy #osteo #afl #sidebyside @ Claremont Football Club

25.01.2022 We are OPEN...but if you cant make it to the clinic please take advantage of our online consultations. Your Osteo or Myo can assess, diagnose, run you through a range of mobility and strength strategies, provide ergonomic advice and help develop an appropriate program going forward to help you manage your condition all from the comfort of your home. Visit our website now or give us a call at the clinic for more information. #covid19 #covid #workfromhome #stayhome

24.01.2022 Theres never been a more perfect time to reach out to someone you know to ask them R U OK? If you do one thing today, check in on someone you know and love. #ruok #ruokday #mentalhealth #health

23.01.2022 Gyms are back! We, along with all of our gym friends, are thrilled that gyms have reopened with the latest easing of restrictions. Given there’s been a few months between lifts we’ve got some tips to make sure you can get the most out of your return and stay fit and healthy going forward. with the time you’ve had away from the gym, it’s likely you’ve de-conditioned from you pre-lockdown state. Ease back in; drop your intensity or load back to 70% of what you’re used to (...ie. if you normally lift 50kg, start back with 35kg) and only progress when ready; set goals for yourself and stick to them. Make sure they are attainable and realistic and take a friend with you to make you accountable for them. Once you’ve ticked one off the list, make another one. Training and fitness is about progression, but controlled progression;warm up before you start and cool down after you finish. Work on your mobility with dynamic stretching, activation exercises, using trigger balls or foam rollers (we can help with all this!); recover well and don’t rush. We’ve all missed the gym but your recovery is your key to making gains. If you don’t recover you’re more likely to get injured and you won’t be able to get back to the levels you want to attain. Eat well, don’t train every day, drink lots of water and, above all else, sleep. Sleep is the key to recovery; speak to the experts and listen. Your gym is full of people who know what they’re doing and we are always happy to work with them and you to get the best result. Don’t be shy. After so long off we all want to see you get back to your Peak soon; have fun, it’s great to be back! See more

23.01.2022 We are looking for a fantastic part-time Osteo to join our team. We have a terrific group of existing Osteopaths with a strong culture of teamwork and professionalism and we cant wait to welcome someone great to Peak. Weve had some fantastic applicants already and this is the last chance to apply for this exciting position. Email your CV with a cover letter to Nick as soon as possible.

23.01.2022 With the State moving to further restrictions we wanted to reiterate that we are still open and here for you. Osteopathy is an essential service and, thankfully, the 5km rule does not apply for medical appointments. Your confirmation text or email will stand as proof of your need to travel. If you have any questions, as always, please give us a call. We are here for you. #covid19 #coronavirus

22.01.2022 We are so thrilled to welcome Dr Nicola Stevens, osteopath, to @peakosteo.

20.01.2022 If you are with one of the private health insurers that apply their policies on a calendar year you only have four weeks to use up any left over benefits. Osteopathy and Myotherapy can both be claimed under most policies with extras. Give us a call now or book in via our website and take advantage of this before the year ends.

19.01.2022 Struggling with the pre-Christmas chaos? We’re open right up until Christmas Eve for any of your injury concerns.

19.01.2022 Struggling for Fathers Day ideas? Were here to help! Gift vouchers, foam rollers, spiky balls...help Dad get back to his Peak this weekend!

19.01.2022 The changes to a womans body during pregnancy are many and varied, however that shouldnt be a deterrent to exercise. In our latest blog Dr Belle Picco, osteopath, takes you through some simple exercises that could help you move more freely before and after the baby arrives. https://www.peakosteo.com.au//exercise-prescription-for-p/ * we highly recommend that exercise programs are tailored specifically for your needs so please speak to your practitioner if you have any questions as to what may be suitable for you.

19.01.2022 Huddles like these may be a thing of the past but in these strange days we need something to smile about...and footy is back tonight. Whatever happens this season, everyone at Peak Osteo wishes the teams we have the honour of working with (Nick Brasher, Osteopath @collingwood_fc and Brad Graf, Myotherapist @richmond_fc) all the best for the year to come. #afl #coronavirus @ Peak Osteopathy

18.01.2022 As part of Mens Health Week we are putting a spotlight on the preventable health problems that many males suffer from.

If you or someone you love wants to discuss their general health and how it may be improved please give us a call or book in via our website. Wed love to help you reach your Peak. #menshealthweek

17.01.2022 Given social distancing is difficult to maintain in a consultation with your Osteo or Myo you will notice our practitioners wearing masks for your next consultation. This is just one of the many steps we are taking to keep the clinic clean and hygienic and to make you and our staff feel comfortable and safe. If you have any questions about your treatment during these testing times please dont hesitate to contact the clinic. #covid19 #coronavirus #staysafe

17.01.2022 During the week Damien and Nick were lucky enough to attend a masterclass in hamstring and quadricep reconditioning strategies run by the @athleticapproach and performance coach from the @brisbanelions, @selwyng. Some fantastic content to bring back to the clinic to help our clients. If you have questions about your own soft tissue injuries feel free to call the clinic or jump on our website and book now.

16.01.2022 The team at Peak Osteo were fortunate enough to have @hawthornfc‘s Dr Liam West present to us on the topic of bone stress. Bone stress is a common presentation in the clinic and one that your osteopath can help you to manage and hopefully avoid. Most commonly caused by changes in training load or routine, your practitioner is a fantastic source of information and advice if you are starting to feel pain or thinking of upping your training. Professional development is something we all love and we were so lucky to have someone of Liam’s calibre present to us. #osteopathy #osteo #professionaldevelopment #pd #bone #bonestress

16.01.2022 Are you getting enough sleep? New research is showing that not getting enough sleep may increase injury risk. Dont ever underestimate the role of sleep in recovery. https://www.jsams.org/article/S1440-2440(18)30854-5/fulltext If you have any questions about recovery and the role sleep may play for you please give us a call on 9813 1016 or go to our website now....

Good luck, Conor, from everyone at Peak.

15.01.2022 Congratulations to the @richmond_fc and to our Myotherapist (and Osteo student) Brad Graf on the Tigers incredible win last night! Brad’s first year with Richmond has been a unique and challenging one having been away in the hub for over 100 days but it is all worthwhile now! We can’t wait to welcome Brad and the premiership cup back to Peak Osteo soon. #aflgf2020 #myotherapy @myotherapyassociationau @osteopathyau

14.01.2022 With government restrictions further easing on June 22 gyms will reopen and some organised sport is likely to return. If your isolation period has seen a drop in your physical activity its important that you consult with your Osteo or Myo about how you should approach your return to sport. Many injuries that people sustain in the early weeks of resuming activity could be avoidable with the right management. Give your Osteo or Myo a call now on 9813 1016 and come and see us to discuss your individualised approach.

13.01.2022 Best of luck to two of our favourites at Peak Osteo, @luuuuluuu and @emilyvanegmond10, as @melbournecity take on @sydneyfcwomen in the @wleague Grand Final this afternoon. It might be behind closed doors but that wont blunt our support for the girls! #wleaguegf #football #womenssport

13.01.2022 Today marks the beginning of @dementia_australias @memorywalkandjog event in Melbourne. In light of current events, what would have been a large scale walk and fundraiser through the Alexandra Gardens has now gone virtual and we are encouraging all of our friends at Peak Osteo to get involved and get active in their local area between now and the 17th of May. @dementia_australia is a cause close to our heart at Peak with our very own @nicstevens21 continuing her extraordina...ry work as an ambassador for the cause. We are so proud to support Nic and this great organisation. Dont forget to share videos and photos of your walk or run to show your support as well as tagging @MemoryWalkAndJog online. Donations can be made at the clinic or online via the fundraising page https://www.memorywalk.com.au/fundr/nicolastevens/melbourne The National Dementia Helpline 1300 100 500 @ Peak Osteopathy

Sometimes the first step, making time, is the most difficult. @jeanhailes @ Peak Osteopathy

11.01.2022 With the @AFL season forced to move interstate, our short term loss is @collingwood_fcs gain with our very own Nick Brasher currently away in the hub as part of his role as Collingwoods Osteopath.

11.01.2022 Which band is right for you? Strengthening, stabilising or activation exercises are likely to form part of your individualised program from your Osteopath or Myotherapist so which band do you need, for what exercise and why? Speak to your practitioner about what you should be doing to get yourself back to your peak!

10.01.2022 There’s never been a more perfect time to reach out to someone you know to ask them R U OK? If you do one thing today, check in on someone you know and love. #ruok #ruokday #mentalhealth #health

10.01.2022 A fantastic weekend of professional development at the @sports_medicine_australia symposium on Athletic Back Pain. One of the highlights for us was our very own Nick Brasher conducting a Q&A session with @collingwood_fc player @masonsixtencox regarding his experiences with back pain and working with Nick and the rest of the Collingwood High Performance team. If youre an athlete (of any level) who is suffering with back pain, please get in touch with us now. We would love to help you return to your Peak. @ The University of Melbourne

09.01.2022 We are thrilled to let you know that from Monday the 28th of September the current restrictions on allied health treatment imposed by the DHHS will be eased. This is fantastic news for all of us as it means that patients who are suffering pain or functional restriction no longer need to be deemed as "urgent" to qualify for care. If you are in pain, feel like your condition is worsening or may deteriorate further if not reviewed, we want to see you. After we have all ridden... the bumps of the Stage 4 lockdown, we want to help you get back to your Peak. We continue to follow our Covid-Safe Plan that has been in place since March and our ongoing commitment to providing a safe workplace for our staff to work in and clients to visit remains an important focus. We will return to our normal operating hours (which includes early morning, after hours and Saturday mornings) from Monday the 28th. As always you can book via our easy to use website (www.peakosteo.com.au) or our friendly reception staff can help you find a time by contacting the clinic on 9813 1016. If you ever have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to contact the clinic. We are so excited to see everyone back in the clinic soon and thank you for your ongoing support.

09.01.2022 As we head back in to lockdown we want to assure you all that, as an essential service, we are fortunate enough to remain open and we are still there for you. If working from home is getting the better of you please dont hesitate to reach out to us for help. We feel so much for those businesses that are doing it tough and have been forced to operate under different conditions or close. We will continue to support local business and will always be there for our friends, particularly in our local @auburn_village community.

09.01.2022 As part of the Stage 4 restrictions allied health practitioners are currently operating under different guidelines. As an essential service we are open, however we are only able to consult face to face with those who require urgent care and who, without intervention, would deteriorate further. We are still here for you and would encourage you to take up our TeleHealth appointments or contact your practitioner if you require modifications to an existing program or advice on whether you may be deemed urgent under the criteria. If you have any questions please contact the clinic. We cant wait to see you all after a successful Stage 4. We miss you and will always be here to help however, in the interest of public safety and that of our practitioners we need to adhere to this legislation. #coronavirus #covid19 #melbourne #stage4

Nicola is a fantastic role model for young people, both on the field and in the community and we at Peak are so thrilled to have her on board. We look forward to being involved in more great @osteosportsnetwork events in the future.

01.01.2022 In line with the government moving to make wearing face masks mandatory in public from this Wednesday we ask that all patients wear a face mask when visiting the clinic. In addition to the range of measures we have already taken to make the clinic safe for patients and staff alike, this is another layer of protection for all those that visit Peak Osteo. If you do not have a face mask you will be asked to purchase one from the clinic before your consultation. We all need to play a role in keeping each other safe and well and, whether we like it or not, the masks are an important part of doing so. #covid19 #coronavirus #staysafe #osteopathy
