25.01.2022 Prevention is better than cure #postureandcorepilates #pilatesfordentists #pilates #movesmarterfeelbetter

25.01.2022 Looking for something to do? A goal Ive just set myself during Corona2020 is to get my splits back! To keep myself on track, Im going to run some free splits stretching classes. If youd like to join in- PM me for the Zoom details! What you need: A mat and a towel.... What you dont need: to be Flexi! Thats what the class is here to teach you! #postureandcorepilates #splits #movesmarterfeelbetter See more

25.01.2022 I love targeted release, usually after a long and/or stressful day. There’s such a huge range of options. My favourites are the Makarlu for variety, lacrosse balls for even firm pressure and golf balls for very specific knots. I actually don’t use a traditional spiky massage ball often- I find it’s hard to get the right pressure points and also it leaves dents in the walls. #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter

25.01.2022 Plantar Fasciitis aka pain in the heel and bottom of the foot, often as a result of weight bearing exercise such as running. Rolling a golf ball firmly underfoot can help relieve and prevent plants fasciitis symptoms. #plantarfasciitis #running #postureandcorepilates #notjustpilatesfordentists #pilatesfordentists #pilatesfordenralprofessionals #movesmarterfeelbetter

24.01.2022 Wow! Cant believe the studio is turning 1 today. What an amazing year its been. Firstly, thank you to my wonderful regulars for making P+C the vibrant, positive place that it is. Watching all of your progress is the best part of my job! The banter is definitely a close second. Thank you to those Ive met on my travels The wonderful organisations and student associations whove believed in my message enough to have me at their schools and events and of course to everyone... who made the effort to attend the workshops and lectures, especially the dental students. Its so great to see the next generation of dental professionals be so proactive about their health. Also, thank you to everyone Ive met via my socials- you guys rock (and for showing me how to use the brightness function of my iPhone ) I am so lucky to have my Happy Place right here. So unbelievably excited for Year 2!!! Its gonna be more of the same (because consistency is a cornerstone of pilates) but also, hopefully, some exciting news and developments coming soon! #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter #thepilatesdentist #happybirthday #bestyearever #untilthenextone #thankyou #dentist #pilates #dentalhygienist #dentalstudent

24.01.2022 Happy New Year! Let’s be like Ooshi Sully and start the year with a diamond press or two. #postureandcorepilates #diamondpress #happynewyear

24.01.2022 Kypholordotic posture- probably the most common postural deviation I see among dental clinicians. It is defined by forward head posturing, hunched shoulders, rounded upper back and anteriorly rotated pelvis. Often the starting point to correcting this type of posture is to release the upper traps, mid back and pecs, strengthen the lower traps, rhomboids and lats. In essence the key is to practice back extension, but in order to be able to do so without further injury, form should be strict and as close to ideal as possible. #posturalcorrection #postureandcorepilates #dentists #dentalprofessionals #dentalhygienists #dentalstudents #movesmarterfeelbetter

23.01.2022 When your Fitbit knows what time it is #pilates #postureandcorepilates

22.01.2022 Turning negatives into positives! Looks like its a good time to finally try pilates! #postureandcorepilates #goingdigital #movesmarterfeelbetter #thepilatesdentist #stayinghomeisthenewgoingout

22.01.2022 Looks like Posture and Core Cookies are now trending among the kinder crowd! Or I just get to workout with a bunch of awesome aunties! #thewongbubba #postureandcorepilates #amazingcookies #soawesome

21.01.2022 Reposting this for all my fellow Victorian dentists and hygienists who are handscaling all the things- this little exercise might come in handy! #staysafe #level2 #handscaling

21.01.2022 Feeling Upper Shoulder Tension/Pain? Heres Part 1 of our two part series on combating hunching! How to release tight Upper Trap muscles. Stay tuned for Part 2- strengthening and prevention! (Please feel free to ask me any questions either personally or comment below!) *Part 2 has been uploaded and can be found in the video section of this page*... Enjoy!

20.01.2022 Good luck to everyone studying for exams this week! Remember to get up every 45-60 mins for a walk(snack) and stretch Static positioning is a leading cause of musculoskeletal problems (Morse et al 2009) #swotvac #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter #bringsbackmemories #missthestudentlife #dentist #dentalstudent

20.01.2022 Im often asked how to achieve Good Posture. The first step is awareness. Heres and example of how I work through posture on each individual. 1 Starting Posture: spine is in a flexed position, hips not well situated under spine 2Over Correction: spine now flattened and natural curves lost, neck jamming backward 3Much Better! Natural curves of the spine are maintained- lumbar lordosis established, good centering over sit bones. Feeling lifted but not strained. The c...hallenge is now to devise a program to stretch tight areas and strengthen the supporting muscles so that maintaining position 3 becomes routine! #postureandcorepilates #pilatesfordentists #movesmarterfeelbetter #thepilatesdentist #dentalhygienist #oralhealththerapist #dentist #dentalstudent #posture #pilates See more

20.01.2022 No Mask, No Gloves, No Problems! A dentist I met at one of my workshops told me about a Dental Ergonomics Textbook he read in the 1960s! Finally managed to track it down and its absolutely gold! The real question is, where do I get a pica pole! #dentalhistory #notthatlongago #pilatesfordentists #postureandcorepilates #whatsgoingon

19.01.2022 Back in lockdown? (Or even if youre not) Im super excited to be part of this fun webinar series in conjunction with @generaldentalresidency. Ill be chatting exercises to do during and after the workday! #postureandcorepilates #generaldentalresidency #managingthematuredentition

18.01.2022 PIRIFORMIS STRETCH Thank you to everyone who has asked questions after my General Dental Residency lecture! Im loving them! Ill be answering the questions here on my Socials so keep them coming! Todays question is from @michelletan.ky who is looking for a good piriformis stretch to help combat some recurring Sciatica. This is my favourite piriformis stretch- its simple but can be modified for every level of flexibility. To get more stretch, you can go closer to the wall with your body but have a play around with a position that suits you. (disclaimer as always- stop if you feel sharp pain or neurological symptoms. This is generalised advice. If your pain is from a different cause, please seek personalised help) #postureandcorepilates #pilatesfordentalprofessionals #movesmarterfeelbetter #thepilatesdentist

18.01.2022 Sorry guys, no online classes this week unfortunately because my stupid ass got tangled in the sheets trying to get out of bed, fell and hurt myself. #stillclumsy #gracefullikeaduckonland

17.01.2022 Theraband+ Makarlus +Lacrosse Balls. The Pilates equivalent of salt, pepper and sugar. Essential! @_makarlu_ #pilatesfordentists #pilatesfordentalprofessionals #movesmarterfeelbetter #postureandcorepilates

17.01.2022 Guess what?! Aldi is selling Lacrosse Balls again! Sat 27th Feb: Anyone who’s been to my class knows how much I love these! Get two minimum- so much better than traditional spiky balls! #postureandcorepilates #aldiaustralia #lacrosseballs

17.01.2022 Thank you @gudsa_ for having me on this morning! Hope you enjoyed it, including the small guest appearance by my son! #melbourne #lockdown #postureandcorepilates #pilatesfordentalstudentstoo #gudsa

17.01.2022 The teaser is a Pilates classic. It’s a great core and balance exercise. It can be modified for beginners up to advanced. Remember to find the balance between transverse abdominis and hip flexor activation. #teaser #pilates #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter

17.01.2022 Everyone knows how much I love thoracic extension for dental professionals. (Hello Diamond Press!) Heres another variation called The Dart to try which also incorporates shoulder setting and elongation of the neck. This exercise is exceptional for people who hunch. Key watch points- think down and broad across the shoulders not pinched and narrow, think long and lifted through the spine distributing the extension evenly across all the vertebrae, finally feel a sense of energy as you point the fingertips towards your feet to help elongate the neck. Happy Tuesday and Enjoy! #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter #thepilatesdentist #pilatesdart #dentist #dentalhygienist #dentaltherapist #dentalprofessional

16.01.2022 Dear dental students, I know this year has been really tough and many of you are madly cramming in hands on sessions currently. Just remember to look after yourself and not just focus on looking after your future patients. Preclinical is a time to develop great habits for the rest of your working life- check your body positioning before picking up that handpiece. If youre having trouble maintaining good posture during a procedure dont be afraid to ask your demonstrator- chances are we already learnt the hard way! (You can also shoot me a message here too if you have any specific questions!) Hang in there guys! #futuredentist #dentalschool #workhard #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter

16.01.2022 Make good decisions for future-you, not easy decisions for today-you. One small change is to make time to move for 10 minutes a day. #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter #preventionisbetterthancure

15.01.2022 If you are loving doing dentistry again but your backs not loving doing dentistry again, this is the perfect time for an assessment and prevention program!#postureandcorepilates #backtowork #movesmarterfeelbetter #pilates #dentists #dentalhygienists #dentalstudent #oralhealthprofessional

15.01.2022 Back in lockdown? (Or even if you’re not) I’m super excited to be part of this fun webinar series in conjunction with @generaldentalresidency. I’ll be chatting exercises to do during and after the workday! #postureandcorepilates #generaldentalresidency #managingthematuredentition

15.01.2022 Pilates therapy is practiced in a socially distanced environment with limited numbers to support ongoing function, reduce pain experience and improve quality of life. Please consider signing this petition whether youre affiliated with the Pilates community or not. Thanks so much!

15.01.2022 Shoulder stabilisation goes with core activation like wine and cheese #classicpairings #postureandcorepilates #pilatesfordentalprofessionals #movesmarterfeelbetter

10.01.2022 This care package has been put together for one of my wonderful clients. With no end in sight to restrictions for the Pilates industry, I just want to remind every Posture and Core student that they can borrow any small props they need to continue with their program from home. Cant take the reformer though... #atleastitsdentalstage2 #postureandcorepilates #pilatesfordentists #pilatesfordentalprofessionals #pilatesathome

10.01.2022 So begins a new journey #becominganexpert #universityofmelbourne #postureandcorepilates

10.01.2022 Somewhere between stretching and strength is where you find balance. #postureandcorepilates #dentistswhodopilates #movesmarterfeelbetter

10.01.2022 Happy New Year!!! Spine feeling great over the holiday break? You can keep it that way all year round!... My resolution this year at Posture and Core pilates is to share more tips and tricks to help dental professionals stay happy and healthy! #postureandcorepilates #happynewyear #pilatesfordentists #pilates #dentist #happyspine #thepilatesdentist

08.01.2022 My challenge this week is to incorporate the Ladder Barrel more into my classes. Its my most ignored piece of equipment! #notjustforaquadstretch #itsarealllllygoodquadstretchtho #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter #thepilatesdentist #dentist #dentalprofessional

05.01.2022 What a great way to spend a Friday! Great job JCU dental school! Thanks to JCUDSA for organising. Also not a half bad view to wake up to #postureandcorepilates #ontour #jcudsa #jcudentistry #jcudental #movesmarterfeelbetter #thepilatesdentist

05.01.2022 Quarantine Hack: turn a bookshelf (or in my case a compactus) into a standing desk! Improve your posture while you watch all the amazing webinars. Just make sure the shelf is wide enough to hold your snacks too! (Shameless plug, Ill be giving my Beginners Guide to Posture for Dental Professionals webinar for the folks at @generaldentalresidency 7.45pm on Tues 28/04- hope to see you there!) #postureandcorepilates #butfirstposture #pilatesfordentalprofessionals #hacks

04.01.2022 Tomorrow’s the day! Here’s a quick tour of the re-arranged studio. It’s separated into zones to minimise movement. Happy side effect, I can now keep my beady eyes on everyone at all times mwahahaha! #getready #muchhandsanitizeravailable #covidsafe #postureandcorepilates #pilatesfordentalprofessionals #dentist #dentalhygienist #dentalstudent

04.01.2022 Due to the increase in community spread of COVID-19, I have made the decision to temporarily close the studio again. Thank you to my lovely students for your understanding #stayhome

04.01.2022 Making the most of lockdown: Online posture assessment with this lovely dentist suffering long-standing back issues. This is my go to exercise to decompress the spine. Some simple, personalised exercises have been prescribed for home use until end of restrictions and then we can utilise the full range of equipment at the studio! #slowprogressisbetterthannoprogress #waitingpatiently #stayhome #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter #pilatesfordentistspolatesfotdentalprofessionals

04.01.2022 Remember, even from all the way across the room Im still watching you... (so maintain your form!) #postureandcorepilates #everymoveyoumake #movesmarterfeelbetter #pilates #dentist

03.01.2022 Pre-clinical time isn’t just for practicing hand skills! It’s a really good opportunity to practice your ergonomics too. With the following 3 easy steps, we were able to improve this student’s posture. 1. Lower the patient until they are at or slightly below diaphragm level 2. Pushed the dental chair in closer so there is less leaning over to see the oral cavity. 3. Adjusted the overhead light to provide maximum vision and avoid the feeling of needing to crane the neck to s...ee. Next steps for this student would be to consider loupes and to practice the good habits we’ve put in place! Well done! #mdss #posturefordentalstudents #posturefordentalprofessionals #postureandcorepilates #moversmarterfeelbetter #loveteaching See more

03.01.2022 Thanks so much to Border Study Group for inviting me to lecture tonight! Amazing turnout and definitely the coolest venue ever for an English History buff like me! #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter #thepilatesdentist #borderstudygroup #alburywodonga #ontour #lovemyjob

02.01.2022 Someone is enjoying our birthday cookies! Look at that smile! Luckily our youngest fan has her awesome dentist Mum and Aunty to look after her teeth after a big treat. #sometimesfood #postureandcorepilates #toocutetoeat

02.01.2022 Quarantine Hack 2: at home ergonomics made simple- dont hunch over a too-low table, find an appropriate box and lift your screen. Currently I alternate between a box on my dining table and my DIY standing desk. Its important to change posture during the day from standing to sitting. The body is designed to move! Give it variation and it will thank you. #isoergo #postureandcorepilates #movesmarterfeelbetter #pilatesfordentists

01.01.2022 Tip Tuesday- incorporate upright kneeling into your exercise routine! Almost any seated exercise can be done in a kneeling position (including stretches!). Kneeling challenges your: - Core strength... - Posture - Back- chain spinal muscles - Balance An essential element to maintain a strong, supple, healthy spine! #postureandcorepilates #dentist #dentalhygienist #dentaltherapist #dentalassistant #dentalspecialist #pilatesfordentists #movesmarterfeelbetter

01.01.2022 Thanks so much to everyone who tuned into my webinar for @generaldentalresidency this evening! Hope everyone gives the exercises a go- if you do, please post pics/ vids and tag me! #postureandcorepilates #generaldentalresidency #notanotherwebinar #movesmarterfeelbetter #pilates #diamondpress

01.01.2022 Now that most people are returning to work again, it seems like a great time to review some protocols to prevent work related musculoskeletal pain such as neck pain, shoulder pain, hunching and back pain from sneaking back into our lives. Having personally experienced the rehab road after disc issues, its made me a huge advocate for prevention! If anyone is interested, Ill be giving a webinar on this subject for GDR- 7.45pm Aest Tuesday 28th April ... https://www.generaldentalresidency.com.au/live-stream Hopefully everyone can take away some good tips and tricks to keep our bodies in tip top and functional condition. https://facebook.com/events/s/beginners-guide-to-posture-for/2531237890456385/?ti=icl

01.01.2022 Well done Melbourne! Great news today and tentative reopening planned for Nov 9! I will be contacting all my existing students personally in the days to come to work out a safe way to get everyone back in. If you’re new and have been waiting to book an assessment, please reach out! #getonthebeers #postureandcorepilates #tenativelyoptomistic #stillhandsantho
