25.01.2022 28th May is the anniversary of the opening of Testaz Chiropractic Clinic! 36 years ago Robert and Amanda opened the door at 260 Maribyrnong Road, Moonee Ponds where we stayed for 21 years. That makes it 15 years since we moved 500 metres east and across the road to 189 Maribyrnong Road, Ascot Vale. We thank everyone who has entrusted their chiropractic care to us - 36 years for some families - and we look forward to continuing to do so. Thanks also to our fabulous staff: Merilee, Noeleen, Brigette and Eliza, and to our associate chiropractor Evan, myotherapist Shane and TCM acupuncturist Lana for being part of our clinic family. Happy anniversary!

25.01.2022 This is something we've been discussing with people.

25.01.2022 Acupuncture is back! The past few months have been a trying time for all of us, and your dedication to social distancing and isolation has been amazing. As such, things are calming down in the hospital and I can start to come back to clinic, although on a much reduced scale. Please contact the clinic to make your appointment, Wednesday mornings through June and July. Sundays by appointment ~Lana

25.01.2022 125 years of Chiropractic is a wonderful thing to celebrate! Dr Robert in Sydney and Dr Amanda in Melbourne had their first chiropractic adjustments as children over 50 years ago. We joined the ACA when we graduated in 1984 and have been members ever since.

25.01.2022 We are delighted to announce Remedial Massage therapist Lisa Huynh is commencing practice at the clinic on Monday 6th July. 30 minute ($45) or 1 hour ($85) appointments for deep tissue massage, relaxation massage, sports massage and functional cupping may be made by phoning the clinic on 9370 8022 or booking online. Lisas consultation hours are: Monday 9am - 11.30am, 3pm - 7pm.

21.01.2022 As if anyone needs another reason to hit the gym when the lock downs end.

20.01.2022 Introducing Dr Drew Russell, the new associate chiropractor at Testaz Chiropractic Clinic. He is looking forward to helping the local community, book in online or call the clinic if you'd like an appointment. But first a little about Dr Drew. Drew was active in numerous sports and activities as a teenager and started seeing a Chiropractor to help with some injuries and to optimise performance. Recognising the benefits of Chiropractic, this led to him completing a 5-year doub...le degree in Health Science and Applied Science (Chiropractic), graduating from RMIT with Distinction. Prior to this Drew spent several years as a Remedial Massage Therapist and Sports Trainer. Drew has experience treating patients from paediatrics to geriatrics in Darwin as well as several clinics in Melbourne, including an Aged Care Facility. Drew enjoys working with all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels with the aim to keep people active and moving so they can enjoy the activities they love. He particularly likes to help those involved in sport and fitness in order to reach their full potential. Having been involved in various sports and activities he understands the importance of biomechanics and how chiropractic care can help optimise function and overall health. Personally, Drew enjoys staying fit and active and in his free time will often be hiking or exploring the local bushlands in the Macedon Ranges. He also enjoys exercising in his home gym, swimming, Taekwondo and has a love for all things food. #chiro #chiropracticcare #chiropractic #chiropractor #new #excited #mooneevalley #healthylifestyle #health #fitness #healthandwellness #healthandfitness #sportsinjury #gym #backpainrelief #backpain #injuryprevention #smile #headache #sciaticarelief #maribyrnong

Schedule some times throughout the day to get up and move. Remember the plank challenge? It could be time to try that one out again! Sit-to-stand is another great one. How many times can you do that in 30 seconds? Or simply put on you favourite music and dance. Phone 9370 8022 to book your appointment, or to cancel or reschedule if you are unwell, caring for someone who is unwell, self-isolating for any reason, or suspect you have been in contact with COVID-19.

14.01.2022 An article from the Independent that compares walking & running for heart health - seems for the same energy expenditure theyre about the same in reducing risk factors for heart health. When compared by time spent though running produced more benefit because more energy was used in the same period of time. If you would like to read the original journal article look here - its quite long and detailed: https://www.ahajournals.org//fu/10.1161/atvbaha.112.300878 https://www.independent.ie//brisk-walking-better-for-heart

We need to screen people to help you to decide whether care is necessary, or what steps you may take to self-manage your condition, so online bookings are unavailable during Stage 4 lockdown.

Dr Robert and Dr Amanda will be available for consultation in short sessions Tuesdays Fridays; Dr Evan will be on leave for a few weeks.

Chiropractic hours: Tuesday: Dr Amanda 9 am 12 noon Wednesday: Dr Robert 2pm 4pm Thursday: Dr Amanda 2pm 5pm Friday: Dr Robert 10am 12 noon If you believe you require emergency care at other times, please call the clinic and listen for the after-hours number. Robert or Amanda will talk with you and help you to decide whether chiropractic care is appropriate. Current Regulations as per DHHS Under stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne, although chiropractic practices are permitted to remain open, this is not business as usual. KEY POINTS 1. No referral required 2. Routine care is not permitted NO REFERRAL REQUIRED Patients do not need a medical referral to see their chiropractor. ROUTINE CARE IS NOT PERMITTED Stage 4 restrictions are aligned to Victorias current State of Disaster and are understandably focused on saving and protecting the lives of all Victorians through restricting non-essential movement across the state for the next 6 weeks. For this reason, in areas where stage 4 restrictions apply, care must only be provided if the absence of, or delay of this care, would result in a significant change/deterioration in the patient/clients functional independence necessitating escalation of care. Examples provided by the DHHS of when it is appropriate for care to be provided to a patient include the following: 1. To avoid a requirement for specialist input/review 2. To avoid an increase in care needs and/or alternate accommodation 3. To avoid a hospital admission or emergency department presentation. For this reason, care should only be provided if it is considered essential for the next 6 weeks and where not receiving care is likely to lead to a significant deterioration in the health or well being of the patient. In all other circumstances you must not see a patient for a face-to-face consultation. This is a legal requirement.

11.01.2022 Following advice from Victorias Chief Health Officer, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, and the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee, that in areas such as greater Melbourne where there were high levels of community transmission masks, while not mandatory, should be worn when distancing was not possible, the Australian Chiropractors Association recommends masks should be when providing hands on treatment to a patient. Do patients need to wear masks? From the Austra...lian Government Dept. of Health, you should wear a mask if: You need to leave your home for any reason and will be in public areas You are visiting a medical facility You have symptoms and other people are present in the same room as you. If you have symptoms, our clinic is not the right place for you to visit. You will need to contact your GP or other medical facility. We now have a supply of masks at reception and in the treatment rooms.

11.01.2022 Clinic hours update: The clinic will be closed on Thursday 6th August, Friday 7th August and Saturday 8th August while the regulations pertaining to Allied Health practitioners are sorted out. We hope to know more by the end of the week. Wednesday 5th August Chiropractic:... Dr Robert - 9am - 12 noon Dr Evan - 2pm - 6pm Dr Amanda - 2pm - 6pm Myotherapy: Shane - 12 noon - 7pm Acupuncture: Dr Lana - please phone for availability Please phone 9370 8022 to book your appointment times.

11.01.2022 A timely reminder to exercise while in home hibernation / isolation and when this trying time is over get back to resistance / strength training. Combined with a good diet and life style you can be fit and healthy and more independent even into older age. Enjoy the article everyone.

01.01.2022 Thoracic Extension Exercise Following on from our back relief position we recommend this exercise to help with posture, relaxation, breathing and mobility. Utilising a foam roller (we have used a full one but a semicircular is preferred):... Steps: - place the foam roller onto the floor - sit down at the very end (bottom right on the edge) - legs in a flexed position as shown - slowly lay yourself down so that your head is resting on the foam roller and it is along your spine - place your arms out to the side, palms facing up so that your shoulders drop and chest opens up - take some deep breaths and just let your shoulders relax - try and perform this exercise daily spending a minimum of 10-15 minutes Alternatives you can also use 2 towels rolled up tightly, and placed in a line with a pillow positioned at the top of one end. As per the roller lay down on these so that your spine is along both towels. While performing this exercise focus on maintaining normal breath and if you feel discomfort or any pain alter what you are using. The full roller may be too much initially or towels too high. The major benefits of this exercise are: - reducing tension within our necks - improving posture while reducing potential tightness and fatigue in your chest, shoulders and upper back caused by sitting at a desk, watching TV or reading - allows the bodies nervous system to enter and stay in rest and digest mode (parasympathtic system) - relaxes the mind and body As always should you feel any continued aches or pains make sure to stop. Never exercise into pain. Remember you can book an appointment with us where we can address these concerns and help prescribe a care plan for you. #chiropracticcare #chiro #chiropractic #chiropracticadjustment #exercise #backpainrelief #backpain #healthandwellness #healthylifestyle #healthandfitness
