25.01.2022 Every body is of course different - but this a useful, generic guide for what might be expected when returning to exercise post baby.

23.01.2022 I have had more than one patient tell me that they don't think they have 'stress incontinence' because their bladder leaks more often than just when they are "stressed"! We get so used to the terms that we use within our own professions that we sometimes forget these words might mean something else to others... Bladder incontinence is typically diagnosed under two main groups: Stress - meaning the bladder is under stress from the internal pressure of you laughing/coughing/sneezing/lifting, or Urgency - meaning that the issue is mainly about the bladder making you rush to the toilet for fear of leaking.... Or we have mixed incontinence - which is for those lucky enough to have a little of both! At Physio Vida, we can accurately diagnose and help you manage all of the above....

JCU Honours stu...dent Aidan Donnollan is recruiting for his study researching the effects of plyometric training on cycling performance. Would you be willing to attend James Cook University once a week over three weeks for 60 - 90 minutes to perform plyometric exercises followed by three short cycling sprints?

20.01.2022 Menopause decreases the collagen content and elasticity of our skin and weakens our muscles - everywhere - including our pelvic floor. It may mean that previously minor or non-existent bladder issues start to become a problem. The good news is that pelvic floor exercises really will make a difference!

18.01.2022 We are open today but will then be closed until 13th Jan. Patients may still book via our online booking system for when we return. We hope all of our patients, family and friends have enjoyed some down time over the festive season and we wish you a happy 2021!

17.01.2022 Endometriosis, fibroids and IBS sufferers given world-first opportunity to broaden understanding of pain Doctors in Townsville are seeking volunteers... to assist in a world-first research project aimed at providing answers to the 15 to 25 per cent of women who suffer from chronic pelvic pain. Chronic pelvic pain is irregular, can last for three to six months and is unrelated to pregnancy, with common examples including endometriosis, fibroids and irritable bowel syndrome. A research team of Townsville University Hospital clinicians and JCU: James Cook University, Australia researchers are seeking people with a diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain, as well as healthy female adults aged between 18 and 45 to participate. Townsville University Hospital staff specialist obstetrics and gynaecology specialist A/Prof (Dr) Jay Iyer said the study would examine the biology of the gut in healthy women compared with those suffering from chronic pelvic pain. We don’t know what causes chronic pelvic pain so what we hope to do is investigate the biology of poo in healthy women compared with chronic pelvic pain sufferers, Dr Iyer said. In everyone’s gut there is a whole ecosystem of organisms from bacteria and fungi, some of which is natural and some not. The goal of the research is to determine if there are any differences between a healthy woman’s stool sample and a woman with chronic pain. This will help us determine whether the differences are genetic or environmental or something else which will, hopefully, lead to better understanding and treatment for these women. "We are very fortunate to have the guidance of A/Professor Donna Rudd, a very senior and experienced researcher, to guide us with this study which will primarily be driven by very passionate resident doctor, Latifeh Horrocks. The research team is seeking 100 women with a diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain and 100 women with no medical history of chronic pelvic pain to be involved. Volunteers for the study will have a two-hour time commitment where they will be required to complete a confidential online survey and drop off a stool sample to the hospital. People can volunteer for the survey by emailing [email protected] and your eligibility to participate in the study will be assessed with a brief phone conversation. The study is due to be completed by June 2022.

14.01.2022 With an increased number of people starting to work from home today, our no. 1 tip is to ask your work place if you can take your work office chair home with you.

11.01.2022 Like the rest of Townsville, at Physio Vida we are keeping up with the latest updates on Covid-19 and the steps we should all be taking to ‘flatten the curve’.

If you are not feeling well we ask that you give us a call to reschedule your appointment and together we can look out for each other. Jen

11.01.2022 One of my favourite articles about coronavirus to date.... The ideal goal in fighting an epidemic or pandemic is to completely halt the spread. But merely slowing it mitigation is critical. This reduces the number of cases that are active at any given time, which in turn gives doctors, hospitals, police, schools and vaccine-manufacturers time to prepare and respond, without becoming overwhelmed.

10.01.2022 From my family to yours... we are wishing all of our wonderful clients a very Merry Christmas and Happy 2020!!
