24.01.2022 To reduce stress levels if you are still not going out like you used to make sure you keep connecting with those around you. Talk to a friend or family member on the phone regularly if you are unable to meet in person. Cafes, pubs and restaurants are open with social distancing in place - an opportunity to get out with a small group of friends and support your local businesses. Other ways to connect - exercise with friends or even going out for a walk on your own - leave your music or podcast off and focus on your breathe as you walk though your local park.

24.01.2022 In times of stress, anxiety and worry one of the first things to change is our breathing. With poor breathing patterns, comes increased muscle tension - as we start to hold our breath or to breathe more shallowly. Muscle tension that builds in the neck, shoulders, gut and lower back, brings with it a myriad of other symptoms/issues. By practicing diaphragm breathing or even just slowing your breath down, you can regulate your parasympathetic nervous system response and th...ereby reduce your stress response. By balancing your breath, you can create more balance physically and emotionally. Breathe out (were you holding your breath?). Then, breathe in through your nose and into your belly. And repeat. Not always as easy as you would think!

24.01.2022 The use of ice for soft tissue injury has come into question as it can disrupt the inflammatory process, the bodys normal response to tissue injury and essential to the healing process. The suggestion is that ice may even lead to impaired tissue regeneration. The fact that ice has long been the go-to treatment for an acute injury makes it a hard one to move away from, particularly as ice can also be used to manage pain. Our suggestion is that ice should be used sparingly, particularly after the first couple days from the onset of injury.

23.01.2022 Once a soft tissue injury has passed the initial inflammatory phase with some PEACE (usually 1-7 days) it will need some LOVE L - Load Normal activities should be resumed as soon as ones symptoms allow. ... O - Optimism The brain can play a key role in facilitating rehabilitation and recovery. A positive outlook can make all the difference V - Vascularisation Cardiovascular exercise should be a part of managing musculoskeletal injuries. By getting moving early on in the injury process, there can be a greater return to full function. E - Exercise Exercise can help restore mobility, strength and proprioception.

22.01.2022 These are strange times. These are tough times. You may feel like you are alone at times, but there are many people going through the same thing you are. However, your experience is unique to you. Talk therapy can be a useful strategy to help you process your stress, anxiety and worry.

22.01.2022 We may not have been hit as hard as other countries, but the impact on our physical and mental health has been made and will likely take time to fully show itself. As things continue to change, so do the stressors impacting our daily lives. One way to combat these stressors is to move . Movement is Medicine - as we keep saying. Being stuck on Zoom for 6-8 hours a day is not the healthiest thing for the human body - we were not designed to stay still for that long. We we...re designed to move! Get out for a walk on your lunch hour or join that Zoom lunch-time mobility class for your PT or Physio. The gyms and exercise studios are now open and many are now offering different models. Find a mode of exercise that you like - Tennis. Boxing. Pilates. Yoga. Weights. Running. Cycling. Rock Climbing. Check out our other blogs on this topic!

21.01.2022 With recent events, again people are on edge and with this possibly an increased feeling of worry or anxiety. To alleviate this anxiety, why not try meditating. While not for everyone in the traditional sense, meditation or mindfulness practices come in many forms. As simple as stopping and connecting with your breath and relaxing into your body. This can be uncomfortable for some people, so start with 5 minutes and go from there. We have a few different blogs on this topic. (1, 2, 3).

21.01.2022 Have you ever sprained your ankle? Strained a muscle? Calf? Quad? Hamstring? What was the first thing you did? When it comes to acute soft tissue injuries (ligament sprains, muscle strains) most people think of ice, compression and elevation, but the evidence is limited when it comes to subacute and chronic conditions. So whats the latest?

21.01.2022 "When in doubt, Breathe out" During times of stress, we tend to breathe from the chest instead of the abdomen or even hold our breath. We've all been under a bit of stress this year, so as we roll into the festive season, which can cause even more stress... Remember to breathe.

19.01.2022 When prolonged, stress can cause a variety of physical and mental symptoms. You may be experiencing prolonged stress and reaching burnout due to: Feeling a lack of control - Realising that things are out of your control can be difficult, may be the first step in taking control of the things you can! Extremes of Activity working more or changing your exercise routine... Lack of Social Support - not being able to see friends and family in person can eventually take its toll. If you are feeling isolated, you may feel more stressed. Work-Life Imbalance - working from home has made it harder to separate between work and home life and it can be hard to devote much of your time and energy to your family and friends. See more

19.01.2022 Rest is always recommended for a soft tissue injury, however, limit the rest to up to the first 3 days. Prolonged rest can lead to compromised tissue strength and quality. Unloading or restricting movement may involve taping an ankle after an ankle sprain. It does not mean not walking for the first 3 days, even though you may want to limit your time/distance walking.

19.01.2022 Burnout is a state of chronic stress. It can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion, cynicism and detachment and feelings of ineffectiveness and lack of accomplishment. When burnt out, one feels like they are no longer able to function effectively personally or professionally. This doesn’t happen suddenly, but is much more insidious, creeping up very slowly, making it harder to recognize. ... Some of the signs of burnout could be: A lack of energy to be consistently productive Difficulty concentrating A lack of satisfaction in work/life Change in sleep habits Increased frequency of headaches, GI upset or other physical symptoms (e.g. body pain and tension) Trouble getting started in the mornings or at work Increased irritability, being impatient

19.01.2022 As Physiotherapists we see firsthand how stress can manifest itself physically and emotionally with the clients I work with. In the midst of this pandemic, our stresses have been running high and for some, a rollercoaster of highs and lows as things continue to change. In effect, our bodys stress response has been put into overdrive. ... So what do we recommend for combating the ongoing stressors that persist through these strange and trying times?

18.01.2022 There is a large body of evidence to support the use of exercise for treatment of soft tissue injuries and for reducing recurrent injuries. Exercises should always be graded according to degree of injury, phase of recovery and level of pain. Cardiovascular exercise should be a part of managing musculoskeletal injuries. Pain-free activity started after a few days from the injury can help increase blood flow to the injured structures and boost motivation to keep moving.

06.01.2022 Around most of the country, people are starting to venture out again and many are grateful their gym, Pilates or Yoga studios have reopened and they can get back to a more regular exercise routine.

02.01.2022 When we are mentally unwell, we often don’t feel our physical best and when unwell or injured depression and anxiety are all too real. It can be a vicious cycle - Stress. And all the stressors of life. Impact us all in different ways. One of the first things that changes is the breath. More breaths per minute. More chest breathing. Less with the aid of diaphragm. And more through the mouth.... This can result in tension throughout the body, through the neck, shoulders and upper back and can have many clinical presentations with a variety of other signs and symptoms. As Physiotherapists we see first hand how poor breathing manifests physically.

01.01.2022 Taking a break from things can have many benefits and is often needed to avoid things like burnout. Many clients come to the clinic showing signs of burnout and it is likely a contributing factor to why they may be presenting with body aches and pains, made worse, by a prolonged period of stress, poor sleep and diet and a general lack of movement or exercise. What is burnout and what can you do about it? Read our latest blog to find out more.
