24.01.2022 Restrictions for private practice Physiotherapy are more limiting with this "circuit breaker" lockdown. The APA notice below makes clear that the Government are not allowing any face to face consultations, only telehealth. We can offer telehealth appointments and anyone with an appointment during this time will be called to discuss options. We will be open for extended hours once lockdown is over to help offer timely appointments for those wishing to reschedule. Thanks for your patience from myself, Caroline Bender and Candice Graetz and Rebecca Bruce.

23.01.2022 PERINEAL MASSAGE PRIOR TO VAGINAL DELIVERY What is perineal massage? ... Perineal massage is a type of massage done to the muscles at the entrance to the vagina during the late stages of a pregnancy. It is done to try and prevent tears or the need for episiotomy during a vaginal delivery. The muscles at the entrance of the vagina are called the superficial pelvic floor muscles meaning that that are a little closer to the surface than the deeper pelvic floor. Just like anywhere else in the body, muscles tend to form layers, each muscle working closely with another muscle nearby, deeper or nearer the surface. The superficial pelvic floor, works with the deeper pelvic floor when doing well known pelvic floor exercises. The superficial pelvic floor muscles extend from the area around the bladder outlet, the vagina and to the back passage. There are also bands of muscle that extend out towards the ischial tuberosities, commonly known as the sit bones.

16.01.2022 ABDOMINAL SEPARATION I have abdominal separationWhat do I do?? First of all, don’t worry or panic or believe scaremongering articles online! Almost everyone will have abdominal separation during pregnancy and therefore the separation will be there after the baby is born. ... The separation occurs in one of your four main abdominal muscles: rectus abdominis. The natural separation is nature’s way of allowing for the tummy to relax and stretch to accommodate the growing baby.

14.01.2022 HIP TENDINOPATHY As Pelvic Physios, we tend to see people whose musculoskeletal problems are complex and may have been present for several months or years. This tends to mean that an original injury is now triggering secondary issues. Often pain is present in multiple muscles, tendons and joints. So we will follow all the testing for different structures and start to note all the areas showing problems and discuss how we might address the different aspects. We will try a...nd help make sense of the hows and the whys.

11.01.2022 PREGNANCY RELATED PELVIC GIRDLE PAIN (PRPGP) Pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain is the name given to pain in the area of the pelvis which starts during pregnancy and usually goes as soon as the baby is born. it can be as little as a pinching sensation as you turn over in bed or get out of a chair, to a more debilitating pain which stops you walking and being able to be active through your pregnancy.... You may find people telling you that you need a pregnancy belt. These belts can help but they cost on average $80 to $90 so its worth having an assessment with the Physio to find out if you do actually need one. There are simple tests that we do including, if we think a belt is appropriate, giving you one to try before we do any treatment so you can tell if it will help or not. But you don’t have to just put up with the pain thinking that it is part of a normal pregnancy. #dontputupwiththepain #babybump #babymumma #lookafteryou #dontforgettorest

05.01.2022 It was great to have a team catch up recently having struggled with COVID restrictions before Christmas. Partners and children joined us. You could say the "team" has grown with its newest member, Isla, in the arms of Dad, Lachie on the right hand side. Great to meet her in person. Looking forward to having Cee back on board later this year. Rebecca, Candice and myself all working hard to be able to offer timely appointments at Frankston, Dromana and Safety Beach.

04.01.2022 WHAT AND WHERE IS THE BOWEL? You have a small bowel and a large bowel. The large bowel, also known as the colon, is the place where waste (poo) is turned from liquid waste full of water, to formed waste that can be expelled easily. It is the waste processing plant! The small bowel is the smaller tubes in the middle. These exit on the left of the diagram into the large bowel or colon. The large bowel travels up on the left of the diagram, along the top and down on the ...right of the diagram. The large bowel empties into the rectum down below.
