24.01.2022 The Donjoy Webtec brace is very useful when trying to support the knee during basic bending and straightening movements. Its not as strong as the Ossur unloader one but is still effective for basic knee function. Remember there are no quick fixes but when braces are used in conjunction with a rehab program, they can provide great results.

23.01.2022 To encourage healing, cupping can be an effective tool that can relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow and promote cell repair. Cupping creates suction on the outer surface on the skin, and although it looks painful and scary this is a great technique that is easily overlooked. Would you try cupping? Comment below

Our clinic policy is if you dont feel the benefit after the first application then we know its not worth proceeding with more treatment. ... Giving you the peace of mind that its worthwhile spending the money to get the desired result.

20.01.2022 Let's face it working from home isn't easy. When you don't have the right equipment for the job it's like trying to play tennis with a table tennis bat. It's possible, but you won't enjoy it. Last week a client told me that their set up just wasn't allowing them to work effectively due to the pain that they were experiencing.... when I looked at their desk set up, it was clear to see that they needed a significant upgrade. Given that this person was required to work long hours, they needed to invest in some equipment that would allow them to work comfortably. This video goes through what I bought for my desk and what I recommend for my clients that are working from home.

20.01.2022 We evaluate and correct underlying gait and posture abnormalities to take pressure off sore hips. We use techniques such as soft tissue massage, myofascial release, hip traction and manipulation, dry needling and articulation to decrease pain and increase function at the hip joint.

19.01.2022 Osteopaths dont just help people with back pain. We enjoy treating a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries. Here you can see me applying a mobilisation technique to the upper regions of the neck. ... This is a great technique for people suffering from headaches or office workers who sit at a desk for long periods of the day.

19.01.2022 Should rehab exercises hurt? It depends mostly on the individual, however for most people, if you feel more than a 2/10 in pain during your exercises its a sign that youre doing too much. Pain isnt always bad but its important to remember too much is too much.

19.01.2022 Looking down at screens too much? Technology has advanced us in so many ways, and believe me I am use it as much as the next person. But with our phones and computers being a constant part of our lives has come problems with our posture, leading to pains in the upper and lower backs, and our shoulders. ... Try to hold your phone up at eye height, and lift your computer screen up to eye level at your desk. This will reduce strain on your back shoulders and neck.

17.01.2022 With inflammation, the muscles in the back can spasm and cause both severe lower back pain and difficulty moving. Back pain may also be due to a specific event, such as a muscle strain, sports injury, or auto accident. Massage can help work out the spasm/irritation and improve range of motion.

14.01.2022 Dry Needling is very effective for muscles and tendon injuries. As with any manual therapy technique, if we can reduce pain quickly we can implement rehab exercises sooner and get a positive outcome for the individual. Have you tried dry needling yet? ... Ask you local osteopath if they use this technique See more

We create a customised video of all the exercises you need to do so that you never forget and you can do them correctly. This significantly increases the chance of a full recovery.

13.01.2022 Testing and retesting. I like to see improvement as I am working on the body. I always test at the start of the consultation and continue to retest the body throughout the treatment. This allows me to know that there is improvement being made.

12.01.2022 Spinal manipulation has many benefits. The main reason we use it is that it improves joint range of motion almost immediately. Research shows that this improvement is temporary, so its important its used in conjunction with a rehab program.

12.01.2022 Diagnosis! Diagnosis! Diagnosis! Its the hardest part of our job and its why we have longer initial consults. We want to make sure we get it right the first time, every time.

09.01.2022 In these uncertain times our greatest priority is the health and safety of our clients, the team here and the greater community. Due to the COVID-19 crisis we have decided to offer TeleHealth rehabilitation consultations for new and existing clients via video conferencing in an effort to do our bit in reducing the risk of spreading the virus. If you are an existing client and require hands on Osteopathic treatment as well as your rehabilitation program please contact the clin...ic so that we can make the best educated decision in regards to your situation. We are able to offer hands on osteopathic treatments during times that the medical clinic is closed (Saturday evening and Sundays) but this will be assessed on a case by case basis. The Australian Minister for Health, Greg Hunt has confirmed that ALL allied health businesses can continue working and are encouraged to do so. Face to face services for many remain vital so where possible, we encourage you to continue. I thank you for your courage, dedication and care, the Minister has said. As a small business it has been a difficult decision to make, but as situations change we are hopeful that business can return to normal very soon. Please continue to put your health first with your rehabilitation needs and with the current pandemic.

08.01.2022 Have you heard of radial Shockwave therapy? Its the latest addition to the clinic and were super excited to show you some interesting content on how we use it. We find it works best for chronic shoulder, hip and knee injuries. ... Keep an eye out for some new videos soon.

07.01.2022 Shoulder rehab doesnt have to be complicated. Most programs can be performed with one resistance band and a door.

07.01.2022 Given that most people are now working from home I wanted to give you a quick guide on how to improve your desk set up without having to buy any equipment. Step one: This is often a massively overlooked area but it makes a huge difference if you've been suffering from headaches or neck pain.... This can be done by using the armrests on your chair or by moving closer to the desk and moving your computer back. When your arms are supported it allows you to keep your shoulders relaxed and comfortable. Step two: Increase your screen brightness and text size. By making your screen easy to read it prevents you from leaving forward and significantly reduces the strain on the neck muscles. This is often a massively overlooked area but it makes a huge difference if you've been suffering with headaches or neck pain. Give it a go!

06.01.2022 When I first opened up my clinic I spent weeks sourcing the best knee braces for my clients. After a year of testing and trial and error I can happily recommend both the Ossur unloader one and the Donjoy Webtec knee braces. They have very different roles but can be highly effective for active people. ... They are not quick fixes but when used in conjunction with a rehab program, they can provide great results. In this post I highlight the Ossur unloader one.

06.01.2022 The body rarely works in isolation. When it comes to neck pain, your upper back plays a significant role in how the neck functions. Performing a simple spinal manipulation (as seen in the picture here) to the upper back, normally has a positive knock-on effect to the neck and shoulders.

05.01.2022 When should you see an Osteopath? As soon as you can. Most people after getting an injury will wait to see how it goes but the benefit of seeing an Osteopath earlier in the rehab process is that they can give you advice on stretches or massage techniques or rest vs exercises. ... This means that your pain could be reduced and/or your recovery time could be lessened. If youre not sure about seeing an Osteopath, and dont want to commit financially just yet, we offer FREE no obligation phone consultations with an experienced Osteopath.

04.01.2022 Sometimes it can be difficult to see any changes when it happens slowly over time. Know that even if progress is slow it also means that something is happening, which is a step forward. Keep going.

04.01.2022 My favourite knee exercise at the moment. I use this for people that need more strength through their hips and pelvis. Runners, in particular, need good strength in these areas. - You dont need the band to start with. ... However, by adding in some resistance you will see results much faster.
