17.01.2022 MONDAY - MIGHTY MOVEMENT! To kick off Women's Health Week we're talking about the importance of movement - that's right, exercise! We often talk to our patients about finding the right form of exercise for you - whether it's sweating through a HIIT class at the gym, a gentle Pilates class, smashing out 25 laps at the pool, or a moderate intensity walk - whatever you prefer - just MOVE! The benefits cannot be overstated. As women's health physios we love talking exercise and how we can tailor it to you and your specific needs, likes and abilities. Why not celebrate the start of Women's Health Week by scheduling in a session this week!

17.01.2022 We’re so happy the health funds have made this decision, allowing us to keep helping our patients during this difficult time!!

09.01.2022 MASTITIS - did you know that we can treat inflammatory breast conditions, including mastitis? The last day of World Breastfeeding Week today seems an appropriate time to talk about it!

09.01.2022 5 minutes with Peter Zuman Who is your typical patient?... Generally, someone who has done something out of the ordinary, not usual for their lifestyle, and who finds themselves with say back or shoulder pain. https://www.orangecitylife.com.au//peter-zuman-the-pinnacl

09.01.2022 Did you know 1 in 10 men may experience continence or pelvic floor issues during their lifetime, and up to 70% of men suffer from urinary incontinence following prostatectomy surgery. An experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapist can offer full assessment and diagnosis of these conditions and individualised advice and treatment including: Progressive pelvic floor muscle re-training (using real-time ultrasound, EMG biofeedback and muscle stimulation when required).... Bladder training Manual therapy for pelvic floor and coccyx pain, when indicated. If you would like to seek treatment for male continence or pelvic floor issues please call the clinic now on 02 6362 6222 and ask to book a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Consultation with Susan, one of our Pelvic Health Physiotherapists.

09.01.2022 Now that Christmas is over, here's a good reminder about how much exercise we should be doing! (Spoiler alert: At least 150 to 300 minutes of "moderate intensity" physical activity, or 75 to 150 minutes of "vigorous intensity" physical activity, each week).

08.01.2022 Don’t forget to come and listen to our Pete tomorrow night at the McCarthy’s Pharmacy Chronic Pain Information Night. He’ll be talking about the Physiotherapy management of chronic pain. Annika Rookyard and Ann Harrison will also be talking about other pain management strategies - it will be a very informative night!

08.01.2022 We are proud supporters of the 2019 Great Volcanic Mountain Challenge and look forward to providing free pre-race strapping and post-race massage on 31st March.... you'll find us under the big Pinnacle Physio tent!

08.01.2022 WEDNESDAY - REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH! Getting good, evidence based information is critical in the age of Google - misinformation abounds. Especially when it comes to reproductive health - fertility, pregnancy, contraception and hormones. Your GP is your number one resource here. But if you do need to Google, our favourite website for all things reproductive and women's health is the Jean Hailes website - well balanced, evidence based scientific information that's easy to read and understand. www.jeanhailes.org.au

08.01.2022 One hour of activity is enough to reverse the detrimental effects of sitting for 8 hours a day.

08.01.2022 MOVEMBER IS HERE!! If you were in the clinic late last week, you would have noticed Pete, Robert Thorburn and Ben Fairfax all clean-shaven in preparation for the start of Movember. They're raising money for The Movember Foundation, so pop in to the clinic to help them out - there's a donation jar on our front desk, or go to https://au.movember.com/donate and search for the "Pinnacle Mo Bros" We'll be posting progress shots all through November! Any bets on who'll grow the best Mo???

07.01.2022 November 11th-17th is PANDA week, raising awareness for perinatal anxiety and depression. We often have discussions in our Pregnancy Pilates classes about these issues. As women`s health physios, we are passionate about supporting the mental and emotional well-being of expecting and new parents, including the signs to look for and where to go to seek support.

06.01.2022 For all our lovely pregnant patients..... check out this great forum on Pregnancy Nutrition from our friends at Ward Nutrition..... we often get told by our patients that they’re confused by all the conflicting information out there regarding what to eat during pregnancy - what a great way to get accurate, up-to-date information!

06.01.2022 Pinnacle Physiotherapy - Clinic Update We are still open! Tonight’s address by the Prime Minister specifically mentioned Physiotherapy as one of the services that is allowed to continue at this stage. However, we’ve been making changes at the clinic daily in response to the latest available information. Our group classes have been cancelled for the remainder of the term. All current participants have received email communication regarding this. ... Please be assured that we are taking every precaution necessary with regard to hygiene and social distancing within the clinic. We’re working tirelessly to get our Telehealth consults hope and running, so if you are self isolating, please ask Tanya on reception to book you in for a Telehealth consult. You can also book a Telehealth consult via our website. Please do not attend the clinic if you are unwell - if in doubt, please call ahead. We will continue with our current strategy of staying up to date with the most current information and guidelines from both NSW Health and the Australian Government and take further action accordingly. In the mean time, please don’t hesitate to contact Tanya on 6362 6222 if you have any queries. Our thoughts are with everyone trying to navigate their way through such an unprecedented situation. Team Pinnacle

04.01.2022 TUESDAY - BATHROOM BOSS! On the second day of Women's Health Week, we're talking about bladder, bowel and gut health - some of our favourite topics as women's health physios! We're talking stress incontinence, overactive bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain and constipation. Below is the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire - a screening tool which allows us to identify pelvic floor continence dysfunction. If you answer 1, 2 or 3 to any of the questions (ie anything other than a 0), this indicates that you may benefit from a review with a women's health physio!

03.01.2022 Easter is nearly upon us and from all of us here at The Pinnacle Physiotherapy Clinic we wish you a Happy and safe Easter break. If you are in need of an appointment , book now, appointments are limited Reminder to those who cannot attend their appointments, we ask for at least 24 hours notice with cancellations and rescheduling, this will allow us time to offer your spot to those on our Wait List....

02.01.2022 We received some great feedback today after Pete’s talk last night on chronic pain management. Thanks to our friends at McCarthy’s Pharmacy for hosting such an informative night!

02.01.2022 As the weather warms up many of us swap from wearing enclosed supportive shoes and boots to flat, open shoes such as sandals and thongs. Sometimes this lack of arch support can cause heel, ankle, leg and even back pain or aggravate conditions such as plantar fasciitis and other neuropathies. If you are experiencing discomfort and your physio has ruled out any major issues the solution to this may be arch support thongs - designed to encourage optimal foot posture, a more natural gait and aid in whole body alignment. Pinnacle Physiotherapy stocks a range of the thongs in different colours and may assist you to put your best, supported foot forward to enjoy the rest of summer!

02.01.2022 NEW PILATES CLASSES! Our Pilates classes for Term 1, 2020 have been extremely popular and have all filled - so we've put some extra classes on the timetable! Jo will teach a Mums and Bubs class on Tuesday at 10am and Ben will open up another general Pilates class on Wednesday at 9.30am. Call Tanya on 6362 6222 to secure your spot!

02.01.2022 Shout out to the Pinnacle Physio Honey Badgers - Men’s Supertouch runners up for season 2018/19.... this bunch of all round great blokes fought hard last night to go down in the grand final after a great season. If you have an appointment with Rob or Ben this week be sure to ask them about the premiership that got away........

01.01.2022 We are currently experiencing difficulties with our phones. Please call us on 0490 408 340 or alternatively message us at [email protected]
