22.01.2022 C H E C K I N : Where’s you’re head at this week? It’s okay to not have all the answers...especially during these unpredictable times! Focus on what’s in YOUR circle, i.e. what you can control. NOT all the things beyond it #WeGotYourBack . . .... #symetri #healthhub #familyhealth #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #osteopathhighton #osteopathgeelong See more

21.01.2022 G I V E Y O U R M U S C L E S S O M E L O V E : Iso got your body craving some TLC?Create direct pressure on those sore spots to: Release ‘specific’ knots in the muscle (or trigger points) that may otherwise be hard to reach yourself. Reduce pain. Increase movement.... Improve blood flow. Assist with injury prevention & rehabilitation. . How? Use the wall, floor, or another body part to apply pressure with a ball (rolling the ball directly with your hand may not be enough). Position the ball in the region. Move it slowly to find the ‘honey’ spot. Try coming onto that spot in different directions to target the muscle fibres in different directions. There will be discomfort but should NOT be pain. You can keep the ball stationary or roll. Hold until the discomfort eases. Move onto the next spot. . . . #massageball #triggerpointrelease #symetri #healthhub #familyhealth #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #osteopathhighton #osteopathgeelong See more

20.01.2022 D I S C S : A question posed by many patients! While disc injuries can be a debilitating condition, every case is different. Just as many factors predispose an individual to injury, many factors will affect their ability to heal. This does however provide people with treatment options! See a professional & have your body assessed.

20.01.2022 F I N D Y O U R S Y M E T R I : As Osteopaths we look at the body as a whole, on the basis that the structure of the body affects how it functions. . So guys that means if a body part is not positioned well, it can’t move (or function) at its best. . Does that mean we want perfect ‘symetri’? No! There’s no one size fits all approach here. Your ‘state of symetri’ will be different to the next person’s. We’re all build differently.... . Removing any physical restrictions to get your body functioning at its best will not only get you moving better, but promote health by creating a healthier ‘house’ for your insides! . . . #FindYourSymetri #balance #symetri #healthhub #FamilyHealth #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #OsteopathHighton #OsteopathGeelong See more

17.01.2022 M A S K S : Many of you are accustomed to seeing our smiling faces covered by masks for sometime now. . We are well & asymptomatic, but will continue to now follow the guidelines where all health care workers in Victoria MUST wear a level 1 or type 1 disposable surgical mask. . Patients are encouraged to wear a mask also, but it is optional. This can be a disposable mask or face covering, ie scarf. Masks are available for purchase on request.... . Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Your health & safety is our priority. . . . #symetri #healthhub #FamilyHealth #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #OsteopathHighton #OsteopathGeelong See more

17.01.2022 W A R M U P : With many of us being more sedentary of recent months, you may be coming back to the gym stiffer & weaker. Warm up with 10 minutes of dynamic stretches that involve movement & some light cardio to the key areas you will be training/moving. This will help prepare you body for training - encouraging blood flow to these muscles & reducing the risk of injury. The type of cool down you choose will often depend on the type of exercise you have done in your workout. S...pend some time doing slow, gentle movements, stretching and foam rolling. #FindYourSymetri #symetri #healthhub #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #OsteopathHighton #OsteopathGeelong

10.01.2022 C L I N I C P E T S : Three new team members! Hit us up with some names!

09.01.2022 A F A M I L Y A F F A I R : the kids were super keen to use their own pocket money for @run4geelong to support the great work of @barwonhealthfoundation...some were not so keen on the actual running part!

06.01.2022 H A P P Y F A T H E R S D A Y : To all the Dads, soon-to-be Dads, Step-Dads, father figures & those whose fathers are no longer with us - we are thinking special thoughts of you!

06.01.2022 B A B Y B O N E S : A baby’s skeleton has close to 300 bones, which are mostly comprised of cartilage. As we grow, our bones undergo ossification where the cartilage is slowly replaced by bone. Many bones fuse together, decreasing the number of bones to 206. This process is not complete until about 25 years old! . . .... #symetri #healthhub #familyhealth #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #osteopathhighton #osteopathgeelong

04.01.2022 I T ‘ S A L L A B O U T T H E D I S C : During the course of the day the weight of your body on the intervertebral discs between the vertebrae creates compression, causing the spine to shorten slightly. It may only be about 1cm but I know some of us will take it where we can! This is why astronauts return from space slightly taller! #FunFact . . . #symetri #healthhub #FamilyHealth #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #OsteopathHighton #OsteopathGeelong

03.01.2022 T W O : What a year! With the current reduced clinic hours we had planned to celebrate today somewhat differently. We love a birthday & we will celebrate in true ISO-style! . We want to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thank you to our patients for their ongoing support & kindness. It has been great getting to know you all & we thank you for making us part of your lives. We are so fortunate to work in a such a great community. . Thank you to our amazing team past & p...resent...our family! It has been a pleasure to work with such a great bunch of people who are so knowledgeable & passionate about what they do. You have each played an instrumental part & we would not be who we are today without you. . We are so excited to see what lies ahead for Symetri! . . . #symetriturnstwo #symetri #healthhub #familyhealth #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #osteopathhighton #osteopathgeelong

03.01.2022 E X E R C I S E F O R L O W E R B A C K P A I N : A study was performed to find which type of exercise training was most effective for treating lower back pain (Owen et al 2019), concluding there was a lack of evidence to support one type over another. . Instead of focusing on a particular type of exercise, we should be focusing on doing more of any type of exercise & making it a habit! So choose a type of exercise you enjoy! #MotionIsLotion .

02.01.2022 R E S T : Rest & recovery is very important to get results & maintain CONSISTENCY! If you haven’t been training with weights or resistance for a while, having a rest day between sessions will help to prevent injury & reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Another option is to train different muscle groups the following day. #FindYourSymetri #symetri #healthhub #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #OsteopathHighton #OsteopathGeelong

02.01.2022 W E A R E O P E N : As we move into stage 3 restrictions this week, it is business as usual at Symetri. When I say ‘AS USUAL’ I mean with all the additional safety measures of course! .

01.01.2022 Y A Y : Gyms are now back open! Over the next week we will be giving our top tips for getting back to sweating it up in the gym & avoiding injury. As you resume your workouts, try not to rush back to doing what you were doing pre-lockdown...or after any long break.... Instead focus on your technique - the quality of your movement over the quantity! We recommend you decrease the load & intensity you were training at pre-lockdown by 30-40% for the initial few sessions, especially if your training has been really inconsistent for the last few months. Then increase by 10% each week after that. Proper technique is important to decrease strain on other body parts, such as your neck & back. Is your spine neutral? Can you maintain a neutral position of the shoulders when performing any upper body weights?(drawing your shoulder blades back & down) Hit us up if you have any questions! #FindYourSymetri #symetri #healthhub #health #wellness #osteopathy #osteopath #highton #OsteopathHighton #OsteopathGeelong
