25.01.2022 Swings help you stimulate our senses which can help regulate the vestibular system. Now that playgrounds are open here in Victoria, free your inner child and stimulate your senses and that child inside that wants to play after so many hours locked inside. There is no age limit to swinging and the sensation of being free, happy and calm are some of the best therapeutic effects of swinging that we all need more of!

24.01.2022 The current DHHS rules and lack of clarity have really thrown our profession into a spin as we scramble to make sense of what is happening and be able to continue to be there for our patients through this time. Please sign this petition to help us keep our clinic open during Stage 4 Lockdown

24.01.2022 IMPORTANT UPDATE Firstly, thank you so much for your patience and support as we navigate these lockdown restrictions and make sense of them and what DHHS allows the allied health professions during Stage 4 and the extension. Do you have an appointment booked from the 14th of September until the 28th of September? ... If you have an appointment booked in with us for the 2 weeks listed above, you will soon be contacted by your practitioner or one of our receptionists to discuss your options. No face to face routine appointments are allowed. We will be able to see you for a face to face appointment if you have a GP referral stating that "face to face Osteopathic treatment is necessary to prevent deterioration of your condition, despite the current lockdown restrictions." This referral can be emailed, faxed or brought into the clinic with you. If you do not have a referral from your GP, you may now be eligible for an urgent, face to face appointment. Please ask our receptionists or practitioners to see if you meet the criteria 95335536. We are still available for Telehealth and bookings can be made online: https://www.sportsandspinalgroup.com.au/ Big love from the entire SSG team #weinspireasateam #empoweringlifelonghealth #findyourhappy #dreamteam #happybody #happymind #happy #happiness #health #osteopathy #osteopath #myotherapy #chinesemedicine #alliedhealth #bayside #hampton #Beaumaris #melbourne

24.01.2022 What is forward head carriage? As the name implies, due to dysfunction in the neck region, the head moves from its proper position further forward. The more the head moves forward, the greater gravity produces weight bearing stress on the neck. Check out our YouTube library below to learn which exercise helps to reverse the effects of forward head carriage:... https://www.sportsandspinalgroup.com.au/pec-minor-major-tr/ #triggerpoint #pain #osteopathy #osteo #myotherapy #neck #erectorspinae #headaches #posture #mobilise #goals #alliedhealth #beaumaris #hampton #weinspireasateam #findyourhappy #weareexcellencedriven #empoweringlifelonghealth

20.01.2022 As Osteopaths, we are trained to find the cause of pain as opposed to chasing it from where a patient might be feeling it so we need to also examine areas away from the site of pain. Pain that comes from a compensatory pattern from an injury or dysfunction or referred pain can often disguise the actual source the pain is coming from. To learn more about what Osteopaths do check out our website: ... https://www.sportsandspinalgroup.com.au/

19.01.2022 We are so proud to be allied health professionals this year more than ever!

19.01.2022 What is the QL Muscle? The QL, is a key piece of your core. While technically an abdominal muscle, the QL is located deep enough that it has tremendous influence over your lower back. If you are suffering from lower back pain, understanding and caring for your QL can be a major factor in finding and alleviating the source of that pain.... How do you stretch the QL muscle? Dont forget your deep belly breathing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vrPithENpg A simple, QL trigger point release drill to alleviate tightness and tension in your lower back: https://www.sportsandspinalgroup.com.au/quadratus-lumborum/ The SSG Truth Bomb Sitting for prolonged periods of time affects the stabiliser muscles of the spine, effectively shutting them off. When these muscles no longer aid in the support of the spine and lower back, then the QL takes up the slack. Which is a job its not meant to do.

18.01.2022 What is the most important part of ankle sprain recovery? After an ankle sprain, there is delayed activation of our BUTTS! Amazingly, there is a delay in muscle activation in our Glute Medius muscle after an ankle sprain. This muscle helps to support our hip and pelvis joints in an upright position or during walking. Without good activation, the ankle may not be in an ideal position to function. ... Read our blog below to better understand: https://www.sportsandspinalgroup.com.au/3-tips-ankle-sprai/ The SSG Truth Bomb Ankle sprains are very common. Each year, around 230,000 Australians see a GP or allied health professional for an ankle sprain or strain. How can we prevent? Undertaking flexibility, balance, stretching and strengthening exercises in weekly training programs. Including agility work in training programs so the ankle joint is capable of sustaining high acceleration forces and quick changes in direction.

18.01.2022 WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT BABIES ROLL? Learning to roll helps to lay the foundation for many other important developmental skills such as crawling and walking and build strength in their back, neck and core muscles. Rolling also helps form connections between the left and right sides of the brain by using both sides of their body together. ... #funfactfriday #babydevelopment #developmentalmilestones #developmentaldelay #developmentalskills #paediatrics #osteopathy #paediatricosteopathy #osteopathicmedicine #babyhacks #babytips #parentinghacks #positiveparentingtips #mumsofinsta #mumsofinstagram #babiesofinsta #babiesofinstagram #ig_motherhood #newbornbaby #newmums #newmumlife #toddlerlife #learnthroughplay #babydevelopment #developmentalmilestones #mumandbaby #motherandbaby #firsttimemama #melbourne #bayside #stkilda #hampton #beamaris #empoweringlifelonghealth

18.01.2022 The Benefits of Child's Pose: * Releases tension in the back, shoulders, chest and hips * Recommended if you have dizziness or fatigue. * It is calming for the mind, helping to alleviate stress and anxiety.... * Great for digestion as it flexes the body's internal organs and keeps them supple. * It lengthens and stretches the spine. * It reminds us that resting is a good thing Please check out our YouTube channel for the child pose exercise: https://youtu.be/DxSmvBjTP0A

16.01.2022 Can you see differences between a typical kindergarten aged childs hand (left) and a typical 7 year olds hand (right)? This is why kindergarten aged kids generally cannot write yet. Their hands are still developing and are not fully formed. What can they be doing to support this development? ... PLAY!! Playdough, colouring, cutting, gluing, playing outside, digging in dirt, sensory play, dress up play, science experiments, beading, puzzles, throwing balls, etc. All of these things help their hands to develop. When they are physically ready to write, they will! No need to rush them, they will show you when they are ready.

16.01.2022 Did you know that having a forward head carriage can cause neck pain and headaches? The further your head moves forward, the greater the weight bearing stresses are on your neck. So why is this significant? Because it is a prominent cause of neck pain. This is due in part to abnormal stress/strain on muscles, bones, ligaments, and nerves. ... Prolonged forward head carriage (or posture) can also result in several degenerative neck conditions. Please speak to one of our practitioners at your next appointment for more information or head over to our website: https://www.sportsandspinalgroup.com.au/

12.01.2022 The Teeth, Tongue, and Breathing As we enter the midway point of this lockdown the accumulative stress and our mask wearing has started to take a toll on our jaw.

This technique takes stress off the jaw area and relieves pain. ... 1. Firstly create a gap between your upper and lower teeth. 2. Rest your tongue on the top of your month. 3. Breath slowly through your nose.

11.01.2022 Why is single leg stability so important? The development of single leg stability is potentially the cure-all for many of the chronic lower back and hip, knee and ankle problems we see today. Several of our patients suffer with knee, hip and ankle problems as a result of the absence of single leg stability. The one legged deadlift is a challenging exercise to perform and requires good core strength as well as balance and coordination. It is a progression of the two legged Ket...tlebell Deadlift.

10.01.2022 The sacroiliac joint connects the hip bones (iliac crests) to the sacrum, the triangular bone between the lumbar spine and the tailbone (coccyx). The primary function of the sacroiliac joints is to absorb shock between the upper body and the pelvis and legs. The sacroiliac joint typically has little motion. Small movements at the joint help with shock absorption and forward/backward bending. The joint is reinforced by strong ligaments surrounding it, some of which extend acro...ss the joint in the back of the pelvis. This network of soft tissues provides support, limits movement at the joint, and assists with absorbing pressure. One of the sources of sacroiliac joint dysfunction is too little movement (hypomobility or fixation) can cause muscle tension, pain, and may inhibit mobility. Pain is typically felt on one side of the low back or buttocks, and can radiate down the back of leg, similar to sciatic pain. Check out the video from our YouTube library below for an exercise to help with sacroiliac joint mobility: https://youtu.be/w_MRlSlIeJk

07.01.2022 IMPORTANT UPDATE We are still waiting clarification, as a profession, in regards to some of the conditions stipulated by the government regarding allied health practices in Stage 4. Some details have not yet been finalised by the Government, so we apologise for any inconvenience due to the sudden changes over the coming days....

We are so very sorry for the inconvenience (and equally as frustrated by this process and what has been unfolding).

These restrictions include the need for a GP or medical specialist referral for your osteopathic appointments. We will provide further updates on this as soon as we have some clarification.

06.01.2022 Recent research has shown that the inability to stabilise is actually a hip issue related to an inability to properly fire the glute medius (an issue with the brains connection to the muscle) or an actual weakness in the glute medius (a strength issue). Increased susceptibility to falling is one of the most serious problems associated with ageing. Approximately one third of people aged 65 years and over living in the community fall at least once a year, with up to one fifth of these people suffering multiple falls. #osteopathy #osteo #myotherapy #hip #ankle #knee #back #lowerback #lowbackpain #erectorspinae #posture #mobilise #goals #alliedhealth #beaumaris #hampton #weinspireasateam #findyourhappy #weareexcellencedriven #empoweringlifelonghealth

05.01.2022 Parent and infant brains, nervous systems, hormones and physiology participate as one system. Especially the birthing person and the infant, but also for non-birthing parents and close caregivers. It is called inter-brain synchrony, biobehavioral synchrony, interpersonal neurobiology, emotional and autonomic contagion. The parent infant dyad has biological communication signals transferring between them at all times. ... When parent has a strong emotion baby feels it too. When baby feels a strong emotion parent feels it too. Parents upregulate and downregulate arousal in infants and infants do it back. Brain activity mirrors, hormone release mirrors, body states mirror. During body feeding baby gets hormonal signals in milk, their nervous system gets calming or sleepy signals from sucking. Parent gets calming and sleepy hormonal release. During sleep baby is calmed by the breathing, heartbeat, scent and touch of a parent and parents are calmed by their babies presence. Brain activity synchronizes. While being together quietly, thousands of biological conversations are happening. This incredible biological bond is so strong in the beginning of life. IF nurtured you can keep the conversation going for life. #Repost @nurture_neuroscience_parenting with @get_repost

We will be in contact again tomorrow to outline what classifies as an emergency appointment and how you can go about booking in with our team. Our team are saddened to deliver this news.

03.01.2022 Who Inspires you? I am inspired constantly by my patients, one of those amazing individuals truly is Deanna. I have been treating Deanna for some time now and I believe she is one of the most remarkable and strong willed people I have met in this life. Were all going through a lot of emotional, physical and financial strain in these more testing times with the world asking us to sacrifice. Every time I see Deanna she reminds me of how resolute and resilient we can be, if we ...choose to. Even in times where we feel like the ground has been drawn from right underneath us. Each day we take a breath in this life we are lucky, I am grateful. I myself have also felt my whole world being turned upside down. I was attacked with a king hit to the head during a random act of violence two years ago and was lucky enough to not have any long term impacts of my concussion. For months I was overcome with bouts of depression, mental exhaustion, inability to perform any exercise without having severe headaches and whole body fatigue. I wasnt able to do any of the things that served me, the things that I enjoyed, I felt like I lost my reason for living. I pondered all those months when I was feeling at my lowest... pondering what if it was different and I had died.. what if I wasnt lucky..why me? In hindsight I realise that positive change comes from shifting your mentality from the victim, to the learner. Many things happen in this world due to unimaginable circumstances that we cannot control. The best thing we can do is surround ourselves with the people that support us and find our passion. What really serves us in life and what wisdom and support can we impart on those around us who are in need? You are always given a choice to see the lesson in hardship. Do you sit in frustration and sorrow, do you identify as the victim or do you adapt, learn from your experience and move forward? I am grateful for the chance to be alive, choose to see the lesson in what life brings me and be inspired by people around me.
