25.01.2022 Abdominal muscle separation // Diastasis recti // DRAM DRAM: refers to the midline separation of the rectus abdominis muscles as the line of tissue called the lines alba widens and thins. A combination of factors during pregnancy can cause this separation. These include: ... Hormonal changes Weight gain Abdominal muscle weakness Stretching of the muscles as your baby grows A separation is a normal safety mechanism to avoid the muscles tearing as your baby grows. It only becomes a problem if the muscles stay separated postnatally. What can you do to help? Avoid sit ups/ abdominal crunches Roll when getting into or out of bed Minimise lifting anything heavier than your baby or anything that causes your tummy to bulge with strain Wear abdominal support or firm compression underwear such as SRC recovery shorts/leggings. I advise you consult with your health care provider post birth which could include a GP, obstetrician, physiotherapist or osteopath who can assist in diagnosing a DRAM and advising the best exercises and options for recovery

22.01.2022 DAY 3 OF WOMENS HEALTH WEEK Today Women Health Week addresses The inside story which is a complete guide to bladder, gut and bowel health... from gut-nourishing foods and bathroom habits, to pelvic floor fitness and everything in between! As I am currently pregnant I thought I would discuss pelvic floor fitness and how by completing these during and after pregnancy can greatly reduce the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic floor muscle exercises will help the body... support the growing baby and reduce the chance of having a bladder or bowel problem after birth. Strong muscles before the baby is born will return to normal more easily after birth. Other benefits of pelvic floor muscle exercise include: * Women withstress incontinence(women who wet themselves when they cough, sneeze or are active) will find pelvic floor muscle exercises can help improve their symptoms. * Pelvic floor muscle exercise may also be of use for women who have an urgent need to pass urine more often (calledurge incontinence). * As women grow older, hormone changes aftermenopausecan affect bladder control and weaken pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor muscle exercise can help to lessen the effects of menopause on pelvic support and bladder control. The pelvic floor muscles are like other muscles in the body they become stronger with regular exercise. It is recommended that you exercise your pelvic floor every day to help strengthen them andwork more effectively.

18.01.2022 A new baby and a different body! Many of the physical and physiological changes that occur during pregnancy will persist for four to six weeks after delivery. Because of this it is important that women seek guidance and clearance before returning to their usual exercise regime. However, The Royal Women’s Hospital advises that pelvic floor and deep abdominal exercises can be started one to two days following the birth of your baby as long as there is no increase in pain. It... is said this commencement can assist with healing around any stitches you may have. Research highlights many benefits of exercise for the mother postnatally and include: Improvements in emotional well-being. Reduced anxiety and depression. Improved physical conditioning. Reduced postpartum weight gain. Faster return to pre-pregnancy weight. Postnatal exercise and breastfeeding: Research states that the caloric cost of breastfeeding is estimated to be about 600kcal per day. Therefore as long as you are obtaining the appropriate amount of food and fluid intake, moderate to vigorous exercise will not negatively affect the breast milk volume. So in order to take care of your babies, make sure you take care of yourselves first Hayman, M., & Brown, W. (2016, 09/08).

16.01.2022 The Department of Health: Physical activity guidelines for adults aged 18-64 years dictates: Accumulate 150 to 300 minutes (2 to 5 hours) of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 to 150 minutes (1 to 2 hours) of vigorous intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both moderate and vigorous activities, each week At current with restrictions and closures in Victoria this can be challenging for the gym goers or those that have limited equipment. ... But any exercise is better than none and there are so many benefits including: - Reducing the risk of illnesses such as obesity, cancer, as well as heart and lung conditions. - Release of chemicals such as endorphins and serotonin which help to improve mood and reduce stress. - Improved sleep. - More blood and oxygen is pumped to the brain, which can in turn help you think clearer and improve memory.

14.01.2022 It is important that all pregnant women, inactive and active, consult with their health care providers which could include a GP, obstetrician or midwife about physical activity during and after pregnancy. Pregnant women who were inactive prior to pregnancy should commence with low intensity activities such as walking or swimming and progressing to the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines of 150 minutes per week or 30 minutes per day of moderate intensity activity on most ...days. This can be accumulated in short sessions and building towards sessions longer in duration. For pregnant women who were active prior to pregnancy and experiencing an uncomplicated pregnancy, exercise can continue throughout and may be modified/ changed dependent on the individual and their comfort. Evidence highlights the various benefits of physical activity during pregnancy and include: Improved muscular strength and endurance. Improved cardiovascular function and physical fitness. Decreased risk of pregnancy related complications such as pregnancy-induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia. Reduced back and pelvic pain. Reduced fatigue, stress, anxiety and depression. Fewer delivery complications. Prevention and management of urinary incontinence. So if you have a little bundle of joy growing inside you, make sure you are getting active! I know what its like to have morning sickness and not want to do anything but sleep on the couch, but even a 10 minute walk will do you wonders Hayman, M., & Brown, W. (2016, 09/08).

13.01.2022 Back pain is one of the most common pregnancy problems, especially in the later months. The pain usually goes away after the baby is born. But for many women, back pain lingers for months after giving birth. What causes back pain during pregnancy? Your expanding uterus shifts your center of gravity and stretches out and weakens your abdominal muscles. This changes your posture and puts a strain on your back. Plus, the extra weight you’re carrying means more work for your mus...cles and increased stress on your joints. This is why your back may feel worse at the end of the day. This is why it’s important to strengthen your back during and after pregnancy. Especially when you have to hold your baby, rock them to sleep, feed them all hours of the day and night in various positions plus keep up with life! If you are suffering from any aches and pains I maybe able to assist. Book a remedial massage appointment for 2021 by contacting The Osteo Clinic Sandringham on 95985334

12.01.2022 I met the lovely Rhi in 2015 when she had ongoing back problems after having her beautiful daughter. 3 years later, a new job and a few unsuccessful physio treatments later, she contacted me to see if i could help out. It feels good knowing that I can make such an impact

11.01.2022 ACTIVE BIRTH During an active birth, the mother-to-be is encouraged to move around freely and choose positions that feel comfortable to her. Staying strong during your pregnancy will assist you in having an active birth. This may not be appropriate for all women, so please discuss with your health care provider. I stood for 1 hour straight when giving birth to my daughter, if I didn’t have strong legs this would not have been possible. ... Research highlights the many benefits of having an active birth: Being in an upright position can shorten the first stage of labour by up to an hour Being upright in labour means there is better blood flow to your baby. Women using upright positions for labour are less likely to ask for or need an epidural Our bodies were designed to birth in an upright position. The bottom of the spine (the sacrum) is curved and the tailbone (the coccyx) is hinged and is free to open to allow more room for birth Gravity works with the curve of the pelvis and helps the baby be born Your partner/support person can be more involved by supporting you in adopting different positions. Women who labour and birth in upright positions report that they have a more satisfying birth experience overall. You are less likely to need an intervention in labour including having your waters broken called ARM - Artificial Rupture of Membranes or use of forceps or vacuum.

09.01.2022 DAY 2 OF WOMENS HEALTH WEEK Today Womens Health Week addresses cardiovascular health which is the term used to include diseases of the heart (cardio) and of the blood vessels (veins and arteries). Cardiovascular disease tends to develop over time, but here are some important facts:... * Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women in Australia * Women are four times more likely to die from heart disease than breast cancer. So what can we do to keep our heart healthy? Here are a few tips: * Know and understand your blood pressure and cholesterol levels get regular checks with your GP. * Eat more fruit and vegetables A diet full of a variety of fruit and vegetables is linked to healthier hearts and a lower risk of heart disease. * Do regular physical activity It reduces your risk of having a heart attack or developing heart disease. Keeping active helps to control common heart disease risk factors, including high blood pressure,high cholesterol and being overweight. Regular physical activity can also help strengthen your bones and muscles. It can help you feel more energetic, happier and relaxed. * Reduce alcohol consumption Dont have more than two standard alcoholic drinks per day * Be smoke free Smoking damages the blood vessels leading to your heart, brain and other parts of your body. This makes you four times more likely to die of heart attack or stroke and three times more likely to die from sudden cardiac death. When you quit smoking, your risk of heart attack and stroke decreases almost straight away. If youre finding it hard to quit, support is available. Call Quitline on 137 848. You can also talk to your doctor about options that might help you.

Based on this and the most recent DHHS advice, I am unable to continue providing treatment under the Victorian Stage 4 restrictions. I want to advise of a few things moving forward in relation to the continuing practice of The Osteo Clinics Osteopaths: ... care must only be provided if the absence of, or delay of this care would otherwise result in your condition taking you to the the hospital or emergency department.

04.01.2022 Normally I would be advocating for women to book in for a pregnancy massage with myself, but during these challenging times of Covid-19 and its restrictions its time to push for some Self-Myofascial Release (SMR) techniques in the comfort of your own home to help with those aches and pains. Assuming a healthy, low-risk pregnancy, massage may help the pregnant mother relieve common discomforts experienced during pregnancy. Mothers may try incorporating SMR techniques before, ...after, and without exercise and to continue doing these practices when and where it feels best. SMR may be performed with many different tools including foam rollers, massage sticks, massage balls, and hands. Stay tuned for some tips and tricks for SMR Ahrens, D. J. (2016).
