21.01.2022 Theres never been a better time to embrace Western Australia Connecting with, and being surrounded by nature, is one of the greatest ways to clear your headspace and support your emotional well-being. So where are you heading next?

20.01.2022 Running out of things to watch? Or just sick of binge-watching pointless Netflix shows? Here is a talk by Dr Devra Davis from Melbourne University, titled The truth about mobile phones and Wireless radiation - recommended by Osteopath Louise Cole. You might want to sit down for this one.. You should watch this if you: - Own a mobile phone... - Put a mobile phone to your ear while talking on it - Give phones/tablets/or other wifi devices to kids - Use a phone while pregnant or breast feeding Dont have 1 hour? The take home messages as summarised by Louise: - The radiation emitted from smart phones/tablets is above what is regarded as safe according to the WHO - The worst time to put a phone next to your head is when you answer it as the phone goes to max power to connect to the call - Reduced sperm count and motility has been associated with males keeping their phones in their front pocket - Atypical breast cancers have been associated with women putting their mobile in their bra - Animal studies have shown significant changes in brain anatomy when prenatally exposed to mobile radiation - Putting your phone on aeroplane mode while not using it drastically reduces the amount of radiation that is emitted Let us know your thoughts and any other tips you have to reduce exposure!

19.01.2022 Tight neck muscles? Here is an easy at home stretch that could help you make it through to your next Osteopath appointment... The scalene muscles in the side of the neck are commonly tight and overworked. They help us move the neck/head and also help us breathe more efficiently. A simple stretch for these muscles is:... 1. Place your right hand over the top of your head and rest on the left side of your head above the ear 2. Gently pull your head over to the right to bring your right ear to your right shoulder. 3. When you feel a stretch, hold for 30 seconds, relax and repeat 4. Perform on both sides #osteo #osteopath #scalenemuscles #scalenestretch #neckstretch

19.01.2022 Did you know, issues with your breathing can cause imbalances and muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders and upper back? When your diaphragm is not working quite as it should, your body begins relying on all the secondary breathing muscles (especially around the neck). So, if youre experiencing tightness in any of these areas, our Osteopaths may assess your breathing pattern to ensure your treatment plan is focused on the cause of your pain. Not to mention, the calming effect functional breathwork can have on your nervous system.

18.01.2022 Are you getting constant niggles in the neck and shoulder region? Especially if you have been working from home (IF so: check out our recent blog for an ergonomic checklist: https://www.westperthosteo.com.au/your-at-home-ergonomics-/) You may have weak shoulders, or an imbalance somewhere else in the body. Check out this shoulder shrug exercise to strengthen and stretch:... 1. Pick up a 5kg dumbbell in each hand with arms by your side. You can use any weighted object you can hold in your hands try a shopping bag with books in it. 2. Gently draw back your shoulders, bringing your shoulder blades slightly together. 3. Holding this position, shrug your shoulders up taking 1-2 seconds to reach the top. 4. Slowly lower to the start position and repeat. This is a great exercise for strengthening your trapezius muscle. As with all exercises, please speak to us before starting so we can ensure it is a safe exercise for you. #osteo #osteopathy #shouldershrug #traps

07.01.2022 Welcome to our COVID FAQ Series With uncertainty in the air, we wanted to clarify and answer our most frequently asked questions. Watch this space as we keep you informed on what to expect from West Perth Osteopathy during this health crisis. First things first.... Why are we still open?! In the words of Professor Michael Kidd AM (Principal Medical Advisor, Federal Department of Health), All Allied Health in Australia is essential. Its absolutely essential that our Allie...d Health professionals are able to continue to operate, and provide services to the people of Australia, during this time of national emergency. As part of the Allied Health community we can help people avoid unnecessary visits to GPs and hospitals, to reduce the burden on that part of the medical system, allowing them to focus on treating and screening COVID-19 patients. All practitioners and staff have completed the Government COVID-19 training, and under the guidance of the statutory regulatory bodies: AHPRA, Osteopathy Board of Australia (OBA), as well as Osteopathy Australia, we have modified our practice in order to provide a safe environment for treatment to continue. To find out what precautions we have in place stay tuned or simply 08 9485 2800 to find out more.

05.01.2022 Have you been busy making up for missed social events or finding yourself overindulging, perhaps on a holiday from the usual healthy eating pattern? Youre not alone.. We are so lucky in WA at the moment to have the opportunity to reconnect with loved ones more, and our thoughts are with our fellow East Coasters. Now is also an important time to invest in our health and vitality. If youve been feeling the slump, read on to see how a detox could help reboot your vitality & how our Naturopath, Diane Pascoe-Naturopath can guide you

04.01.2022 Ta-da! COVID FAQ Series #3 We hope these have been helpful and our vision during this health crisis, reassuring to those that need our services. Our aim is transparency, our passion is to support your health and our next question is here to manage your expectations of our new-norm in clinic.... What should I expect when I arrive?... o To hand sanitise upon entry to the clinic, aswell as before and after your hands on treatment o To observe social distancing at all times in and around the waiting room and garden, with respect to other patients and our admin staff o To be questioned whether you are suffering from any COVID-19 symptoms, have travelled recently or been in close contact with someone who has, or who has COVID-19 o That your practitioner will maintain as much social distancing as possible before and after the hands on treatment during your consult. This means that our rooms are now set up so that you will be sitting at at least 1.5m distance from each other (NOTE: photo taking pre-COVID) o During treatment, practitioners will work to minimise long duration of close contact near your face, and will utilise PPE for safety. Similarly your treatment may be a different to what youre used to, as you may spend more time laying face down, and various other tweaks our practitioners have made. Rest assured these changes will not affect the quality of treatment or outcomes, and for most patients you wont notice much difference at all! Still have a burning question in regards to this? Our reception staff are more than happy to discuss further with you. 08 9485 2800 [email protected] We thank you in advance for understanding and respecting the changes in clinic. After all - we are all in this together and keeping our community safe and healthy is our number one priority. Until our next installment

03.01.2022 Low Immunity? Our Naturopath Diane Pascoe is here for you! Supporting the immune system and keeping it as robust as possible is of great importance at this time. Be conscious of looking after your immune system holistically, as the benefits of supplements and herbal anti-virals will be negated if you are not getting enough good quality sleep, are highly stressed and have a poor diet. All of these issues can be addressed using natural methods.... Promoting immune health can be achieved with a variety of options, some include: Vitamin C Herbs such as liquorice, echinacea and andrographis Probiotics and prebiotics to support diverse gut microbiome Mushroom extracts which can help modulate the immune system response It is crucial to take the correct dosage, rotate remedies when required, and take medication and medical conditions into account when taking natural remedies. Professional guidance is imperative, as there can be adverse reactions.
