This can occur due to an abnormal outward twist in the thigh bone, which directly affects the positioning of the knee and foot. Other causes can be from an abnormal twist in the shin bone, flat feet or over-contracted muscles in the hip region. Noticed your child has outward pointing feet? Book an appointment today so we can assess them and get them on the straight and narrow asap! #osteo #osteopathy #outtoeing #theosteopath #theosteopathmaroochydore #sunshinecoast #maroochydore #forestglen

22.01.2022 Did you know we can help with your breathing? And THAT is important! A healthy diaphragm helps maximise your oxygen intake, with minimal effort. When its not working quite as it should, then your body begins relying on all its secondary breathing muscles (especially those around the neck). This can cause imbalances and muscle tightness, leading to pain in the neck, shoulders and upper back. So, if youre experiencing tightness in any of these areas, come and see us we will... assess your breathing patterns and help release the muscles associated with breathing. And exhale. #osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #diaphragm #breathing #theosteopathmaroochydore #maroochydore #sunshinecoast

21.01.2022 Scheuermanns Disease is a childhood condition that primarily affects the mid-back section of the spine. Abnormal growth in the front part of the vertebrae here leads to a wedge shaped appearance when seen on an x-ray. The wedging causes the spine to curve more severely (called a hyperkyphosis) in the mid-back and may lead to pain felt in this region. Good news! There are treatments available and we can help. Please call to make an appointment today. #osteo #osteopathy #scheuermannsdisease #hyperkyphosis

20.01.2022 Protein junky? When we eat protein, our body breaks it down into small pieces called amino acids. These are the building blocks of life! The body uses them to make protein for growth and repair, as well as many other functions. Our bodies produce some of these amino acids (known as non-essential amino acids), but not all of them. We must get these essential amino acids from the food we eat. Keep eating that protein people! #osteo #osteopathy #aminoacids #protein #food #theosteopathmaroochydore #sunshinecoast #maroochydore

18.01.2022 Confused whether you should use heat or ice for treatment of an injury? Heat helps to reduce pain, increase blood flow, and relax tight muscles.

After all, using the wrong one could do more harm than good. #osteo #osteopathy #heatvsice #heat #ice #theosteopathmaroochydore #maroochydore #sunshinecoast

14.01.2022 Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a piece of thick tissue (similar to a tendon or ligament) that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes.

Have you ever had pain in the arch of your foot?

13.01.2022 Its osteo word of the month time! This months word is ATLAS. And no, we dont mean the book of maps. Atlas is the name given to the first vertebrae in the neck. Its the bone which the skull sits on and is referred to as C1. It is shaped like a ring and has a close relationship to the second vertebrae, the Axis, or C2. Now, raise your hand if you knew about the Atlas?... #osteo #osteopathy #bones #wordofthemonth #atlas #theosteopathmaroochydore #sunshinecoast #theosteopath #maroochydore

13.01.2022 The femur, or thigh bone, is widely regarded as the strongest bone in the body. It is also the longest bone. Just think of all the weight it has to hold up when we walk and run. Dont feel bad, it gets a rest when we sit and lie down!

12.01.2022 Humans have a total of 24 ribs, set out in 12 pairs. The ribs form a protective cage around our vital organs, including the heart, lungs and liver. The ribs are also an important part of our breathing. here are three main types of ribs: True ribs - these attach directly to the chest bone (aka sternum) False ribs - these attach indirectly to the chest bone via pieces of cartilage at the front of the rib cage Floating ribs - these literally float at the back of our bodies and have no extension to the front. And breathe. Now who knew this fact already? #osteo #osteopathy #ribs #ribcage #theosteopathmaroochydore #sunshinecoast #maroochydore

11.01.2022 Did you know it is possible to completely tear your Achilles tendon? This is also known as a full rupture of the tendon. Any excessive increase in stress or force acting on the tendon can cause a rupture, including increased participation of jumping sports or falling and landing from a height. Men between the ages of 30-40 are most commonly affected. Calf pain?

11.01.2022 Muscle fact: The SCM is a muscle that runs from the base of your skull, down the side of the neck and attaches to the chest and collar bones. It stands for: - Sterno - sternum or chest bone - Cleido - clavicle or collar bone - Mastoid - a bony bump on the base of the skull This muscle helps to bend the neck sideways and forwards as well as rotate the head. It is also the main muscle involved with the condition torticollis.

05.01.2022 Our founding father, Andrew Taylor Still, once said When you have adjusted the physical to its normal demands, nature supplies the remainder. A deeply important principle to osteopathy underpins this quote That structure governs function in the body. Osteopaths do not heal disease; we try to create the ideal environment for the body to heal itself. #osteo #osteopathy #AndrewTaylorStill #theosteoopathmaroochydore #sunshinecoast #maroochydore

03.01.2022 This months muscle madness focusses on the Triceps Brachii, or just triceps. This is a muscle found on the back of the upper arm. It helps to move the arm backwards and also straighten the elbow. The word triceps stands for three-heads, which refers to the three attachment points of the muscle in the arm and shoulder region. Interestingly, there is also another Triceps in the body: Triceps Surae.
