18.01.2022 Does your child snore at night? If so, they might be doing something known as mouth breathing. This is usually due to a blockage in the nasal passage, like congestion from allergies or colds, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, a deviated septum, or tongue placement. Side effects of long-term mouth breathing include: Slower than normal growth rate Increased crying at night Irritability... Poor concentration at school Excessive daytime tiredness It can also impact the shape of your child’s head and face as they grow. Certain physios may be able to help with mouth breathing, but it’s always best to start at your GP to figure out the cause. Early intervention is best, so if your child is a mouth breather, get it checked out sooner rather than later. #physio #physiotherapy #paediatrics #mouthbreathing #stleonards #stleonardsphysio #stleonardsphysiotherapy #physio #physiotherapy #physiotherapist

18.01.2022 The piriformis muscle is found deep in your buttock and when it gets tight can lead to pressure on the sciatic nerve (which runs down the back of your thigh). Try this stretch for size: 1. Lie on your back with one knee pulled up to your chest 2. Draw the knee across the body towards the opposite shoulder 3. To add in a gentle spine stretch, allow the hips to move, gently twisting through the spine 4. Hold the stretch for 45-60 seconds... 5. Relax and repeat 3-5 times, making sure to do both sides #physio #physiotherapy #piriformisstretch #piriformis #stleonards #stleonardsphysio #stleonardsphysiotherapy #physiotherapist
