15.05.2022 International no diet day is a day to celebrate and accept all body types. Today is a day to leave the diet culture, fat phobia, food rules and weight stigma behind. A day to embrace who we are and for all body diversity in our community. A day to eat what you want, when you want and how much you want because you are enjoying it. No guilt, no stigma, no judgement, no obsessions, no bad feels for any of your food choices or how your body feels. Fighting off the diet culture influence on both body and food. On International no diet day, we encourage you to do something that celebrates your body and what it allows you to do in a way that feels appropriate and accessible to you. Go for a walk, do a meditation, eat something delicious, or having a bath. Anything that feels right for you. Happy international no diet day

Mr Jacob shared some pearls of wisdom regarding the common findings on imaging and assessment of suspected ACL ruptures, the "golden period" of surgical intervention and the type of ACL grafts h...e uses in his surgeries. With a better understanding of the surgical procedure, Santosh provided us some guidance on rehabilitation and importantly, when we should refer our post- surgical patients back to see their surgeon. With over 17 years of surgical experience working with Olympic athletes and professional teams as well as the everyday weekend warrior, the Rise team admired Santosh's evident passion in the field of sport injuries and were very grateful for the opportunity to sit down and chat with him!

The single biggest health threat facing humanity is due to the climate crisis.

Making changes at an individual and global level are imperative in working towards a healthier planet and healthier people.

24.01.2022 Getting a good nights sleep is essential for our general health and wellbeing. In particular, research suggests that people who dont get enough sleep on a long-term basis are at an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. (https://bit.ly/3iSCjHx). Also, if were not sleeping properly, the resulting tiredness can affect our motivation to make healthy lifestyle choices. So, we need our sleep. Fortunately, if youre not sleeping well and most of us need 7-8 hours each n...ight there are some very effective techniques for getting things back on track. 1. Get up at the same time each day, and try to get up early. This will stabilise your body clock and will mean that you feel sleepy at about the same time every night. 2. If not sleeping well is making you tired during the day, avoid drinking too much caffeine to try to keep going as that will make it harder to sleep at night. 1. Help your mind calm down by relaxing for about an hour before you go to bed. Reading, a bath or listening to music may help. For this hour, try to avoid the news and dont do any work. 2. If you cant get to sleep, try not to get anxious or irritated about it. Stop trying to sleep and get up. Go to another room and do something relaxing but not stimulating, such as listening to music or an audio book. Only go back to bed when you feel sleepy. 3. Be physically active in the day (but not too close to bedtime). Sleeping well is vital in managing stress

24.01.2022 10 Tips to Building Healthy Habits We know times are tough as we ride this rollercoaster that is 2020. With the current lock down we are finding people are losing motivation to follow their health goals when it should be a great time to focus on them! So we have decided to share 10 Tips to Building Healthy Habits. We hope you find these useful. 1. Weight loss happens on Mondays! This is similar to the name of a good book (Fat Loss Happens on Monday) and while it isnt exa...ctly true, the message is a good one. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. The message of weight loss happens on Monday is all about preparing in advance. We often get excited and focused around significant dates (think New Years Resolutions). Taking advantage of this and planning your week on the Sunday or Sunday night is a really effective way of getting set with whatever it is you want to achieve. i.e. What are you going to commit to achieving this week that will help you towards your longer term goals. Then every Sunday review your progress and reset and go again. 2. Avoid focusing solely on the outcome. Too often we hear people say, I want to lose 5kg. This alone isnt something you can control and focusing on this while weight fluctuates will make it difficult to stick to. The outcome on its own isnt something you can easily do or control, but the behaviours to achieve it are. Exercising every day is something you can control. Minimising sugar intake is something you can control. Sticking to the behaviours over a long enough period of time will achieve the outcomes you are after. 3. Start small Its important to have big goals and dreams. But a great saying is A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. People often focus too much on the bigger goals and quickly feel overwhelmed and give up. Something as small as a 10 minute walk everyday is 60 hours of walking a year. Reducing the sugar in your coffee by 1 teaspoon a day is over 1.5kg of sugar per year. One of the common themes among people that achieve great success is their ability to focus on the small steps it takes to get there. Small sustainable behaviours will amount to large long term results.

24.01.2022 Excess weight and COVID-19: insights from new evidence Excess weight can increase risk of serious illness and death from COVID-19 Supporting people to move towards and maintain a healthier weight may reduce the serious effects of COVID-19 on the population.... Being obese or excessively overweight increases the risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 Reports from the UK and international evidence suggests that being severely overweight puts people at greater risk of hospitalisation, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission and death from COVID-19, with risk growing substantially as body mass index (BMI) increases. Excess fat can affect the respiratory system and is likely to affect inflammatory and immune function. This can impact peoples response to infection and increase vulnerability to severe symptoms of COVID-19. The current evidence is clear that being overweight or obese puts you at greater risk of serious illness or death from COVID-19, as well as from many other life-threatening diseases. It can be hard to lose weight and even harder to sustain it, which is why people cannot easily do it on their own. Losing weight can bring huge benefits for health and may also help protect against the health risks of COVID-19. The case for action on obesity has never been stronger. Some data suggests that more people have exercised during lockdown, evidence indicates that the nations exercise levels have not increased overall since before the pandemic. Meanwhile, snack food and alcohol sales in shops have increased. The staff at Rise Health Group are here to help you. Whether is kicking off an exercise plan or a need to change your diet, we are only a phone call away, if you have any questions, or just need a starting point, please call the clinic on 03) 9763 9233

24.01.2022 According to a national survey by the RACGP (Australian College of General Practitioners), many GPs will not initiate a conversation about physical activity with a patient they know to be resistant to changing long-term habits. As a result, GPs feel more comfortable prescribing medication, as patients more easily accept them So while Exercise Right for Doctors week is all about educating doctors and nurses to understand the importance of prescribing exercise to their pati...ents, it goes both ways! We ALL need to embrace change and take accountability for our own health. Be part of the change - TALK to your GP about exercise as medicine for subsidised access to an Accredited Exercise Physiologist Learn more on our website: exerciseright.com.au/exercise-right-doctors/ Rise Health Group had a dedicated team of Exercise Physiologist's who can help you begin this journey, please give us a call on 9763 9233 today............ #ExerciseRight #ExerciseIsMedicine #RiseHG #riseperformance

22.01.2022 Dry needling is a unique procedure intended to specifically target and restore muscle function, with an emphasis on improving tissue healing and restoring normal tissue function. This is important as continued activity with poor muscle function may lead to further tissue damage and increased pain. So what are the benefits of dry needling? Dry needling may provide relief for some muscular pain and stiffness. In addition, easing the trigger points may improve flexibility and increase range of motion. Thats why this method is often used to treat sports injuries, muscle pain, and even fibromyalgia pain. Watch our video and see how we use dry needling to assist our patients with their treatment.

21.01.2022 It was awesome to have some of the SMASH athletes from Knox Athletics in for their pre-season physio and performance screening last weekend. Thanks to the guys at VALD Performance for their amazing tech, we were able to analyse various measures of strength and asymmetry for each athlete. By combining injury and performance history with their test results, we are able to make individual recommendations and training programs to minimise injury risk and maximise their athletic ...performance. Typically this type of testing and analysis can only be done by professional sporting clubs, hence were very excited to be bringing this to public. If youre a runner or field sport athlete interested in better exploring and understanding your strengths and weaknesses, then give us a call to book in your testing session, or email Leroy at [email protected] for more information

Unfortunately at times women can experience pain during and after pregnancy. Common areas for pain are pelvic girdle, back and neck. Your physiotherapist can assess your pain and develop a rehabilitation program to help you recover from these injuries.

20.01.2022 Reminder: August is National Tradies Health Month Are you taking care of your most important tool? As a tradie your most important tool is your body.

19.01.2022 10 Tips to Building Healthy Habits.........continued 7. Get a buddy! Ideally try to find someone on a similar journey to you to make your accountability partner. They can be someone you share your journey with, someone you discuss the good and the bad moments with, may be someone you walk with etc. If someone else is getting up at 6am to walk with us we are much more likely to meet them there than if we go on our own. Even in lock down we can connect with a friend through ap...ps like HabitShare- Habit Tracker so that you can keep each other accountable without having to even be together! Nobody likes to feel like they have let someone down so this can be a really powerful motivator for people. 8. Link a new habit to an established one. We all have things we do without thinking. The intent is to build healthy habits in so they become an automatic part of life. Linking the habit you are trying to build to an established one makes it easier to remember and do. Putting your work out shoes where you put your work shoes, so when you get home from work you can remind yourself to go for a walk straight away, have a glass of water before your morning coffee, practicing gratitude at the dinner table every night with your family are all examples of tying a desired habit to something you do every day without thinking and are a great way to try to tie habits into your everyday behaviours. 9. Lapses are a normal part of the journey! You may find it hard to believe but you will not be perfect on your journey to healthier habits. The people that are more likely to stick the course both 1. acknowledge and accept that it is a normal part of the process to have lapses and 2. get back to their healthier behaviours ASAP. We may have committed to go for a walk every single day, but on one day, our kids are sick, we run late from work, its thunder-storming etc. and we dont get it done. It happens. Too often people think Ill start again next week but finishing the week well will make next week much easier. Also catching the Ill do it later mindset often leads to weeks before starting back up again. If you falter on a day, unless you can time travel you can never go back and re-do it. But you can wake up the next morning and get straight back on the horse. Being healthy 90% of the time is much better than waiting till next week to start again. 10. Reward yourself! Its important to reward yourself along the way. As parents we reward our children when they behave well, as adults we often forget to do that for ourselves. You can even establish this as part of your goal setting on the Sunday night. For example, When I walk every day this week I will sign up to the on-line cooking class. Another example could be the money you have saved on take out food could buy you that new pair of runners to help with your exercise. Celebrating the small wins along the way will make a huge difference in your ability to stick the course to achieve your longer term goals.

12.01.2022 This week is National Womens Health Week. This is a week created to encourage women of all ages to dedicate some time and energy towards their mental and physical wellbeing. Menopause is a stage of a womans life where there is significant change in physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. During this time it is important to implement self-care strategies and engage with a supportive healthcare team to help you through these changes. Here are 4 areas that your health-care ...team can assist you with when managing menopause symptoms: 1. Tendon pain: Due to hormonal fluctuations followed by a permanent decrease in oestrogen post-menopausal women are more likely to develop tendon injury. A physiotherapist can help treat your pain and design an evidence-based tendon loading exercise program to help you recover from tendon injury. 2. Osteoporosis: This is a disease that weakens bones and increases the likelihood of unexpected fracture. Women make up 80% of osteoporosis sufferers. Evidence suggests that weight bearing exercise is essential to improve bone density and prevent osteoporosis. Having a health professional design a weight bearing program specific to your needs will reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. 3. Joint and muscle pain: Oestrogen plays a role in regulating fluid levels and inflammation. As oestrogen reduces in menopause you can suffer joint and muscle pain. Ensuring you have a healthy diet rich in nutrients including magnesium and calcium is important to reduce inflammation. A dietician can assist you with a personalised diet plan to assist with this. Low impact exercise such as Pilates or swimming can also help to strengthen muscles and joints in a low impact way. Weight gain: This is another unfortunate side-effect of reduced oestrogen levels. Your healthcare team can assist you with weight management through the development of a personalised exercise plan as well as maintaining a healthy diet and hydrating well.

07.01.2022 Eating a healthy and balanced a diet is so important in preventing Type 2 diabetes. Your eating (and drinking) choices can help to reduce your risk, so its a great idea to make more good choices more often. Taking even the smallest steps in the right direction will make a difference, and here are 5 things you can do. 1. Reduce your intake of refined carbohydrate foods such as white bread, pasta and many breakfast cereals and switch it for brown rice, quinoa or wholemeal and ...grain breads. 2. Reduce your sugar intake. Watch out for honey, sugary soft drinks, biscuits, muffins, ice cream, flavoured milks and many breakfast cereals. 3. Reduce your intake of foods that are high in saturated fat (such as full-fat dairy foods like whole milk, butter and cheese) and trans fat (such as biscuits, crackers, cakes and pies). 4. Increase the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat, especially fibre-rich foods such as beans, broccoli and avocado. 5. Make water your drink of choice. Eating healthily will help you live a healthier life and manage your weight, especially if you combine it with physical activity.

06.01.2022 10 Tips to Building Healthy Habits.........continued 4. Schedule it The biggest barrier we see to exercise is time. The reality is we all have 168 hours a week. Where we put those 168 hours is our decision. The main issue we see is people telling themselves Ill do it later and then running out of time. If it is scheduled in the day then we know it is more likely to be done as a schedule is something we can stick to.... 5. Make your health decisions conscious. A large portion of our lives and behaviour is decided by our subconscious. Decisions such as whether we are hungry, taking the stairs vs the elevator, how close to the front door of the supermarket we park etc. are all often decided by our subconscious. The more we consciously make decisions around our health the more likely we are to make a good decision. Scheduling our exercise (see tip 4) is great for this, as we need to make a conscious decision whether we go for a walk or whether we sit on the couch and watch TV. Meal planning is also good for this. We need to make a decision about whether we will have the well-prepared meal or grab something quick when we are tired. 6. Make what youre doing known to others. Humans are generally social. We enjoy the company and support of others. This becomes really important when we are struggling and can give us the extra motivation to get that session done when it is cold and wet. Having others know what we are trying to achieve allows them to support us to make a good decision, and also makes us feel more accountable and therefore less likely to skip a session or eat a poor meal.

This technology allows you and your treating Practitioner to discuss and share health information and images without the need for you to trav...el to a clinic. Why have I been asked to use Telehealth? Telehealth can be convenient when you require access to your Practitioner. This means that you can meet with your Practitioner using videoconferencing (or telephone) as your Practitioner will be at a different location to you. Telehealth allows: Improved access to your specialist/Practitioner Reduced time in clinic, travel time and cost Reduced absence from work Reduced waiting time Our goal at Rise Health Group is to provide you with the best possible care. We will do our best to ensure that the care we provide is of the highest standard. Please give us a call on 9763 9233 so we can meet your health care needs
