Whilst the human body is very good at adapting and tolerating forces, injuries occur for multiple reason which are sometimes unavoidable no matter how hard we try (impact/accidents). Fortunately, most injuries can be avoided through self-management techniques. These come in the form of, but not limited to massage, stretching, joint mobilizations, muscle strengthening and activation. The purpose of these techniques is to restore or maintain normal movement and function of the body. We often force our bodies into suboptimal positions through-out our normal activities of work, exercise and home duties. It would be naive to think this won’t have consequences such as muscle tightness, joint restriction, poor muscle activation and synergy which can have a negative effect of joint and muscle functions. If a joint or muscle doesn't have full movement or function then compensation commonly occurs at another point in the body in order to continue to achieve the task at hand. That’s where these self-management techniques come into play, with their purpose being to restore normal movement and function to the body to avoid compensations. If we don’t use a joints full movement or a muscles full capacity regularly then we end up with a reduced ability to do so. Example Stretching: By exposing our muscles and joints to end of range movements, we're able to maintain the full joint movement and muscle function. This reduces the risk of compensation via other joints and muscles. If tightness prevents our hips from reaching the range required to sit in a chair, then an increased movement and pressure can occur in the lower back, which it isn’t designed for, leading to discomfort from staying in this position for an extended period of time. #physiolabs #physiotherapy #rehabilitation #expectations #consultations #accountability #education #prevention #mobility References

Dry Needling and Acupuncture Acupuncture and dry needling are forms of treatment where very fine needles are inserted into tissues (pierces the skin) in order to create neurophysiological reactions in the body and stimulate healing. What is the difference between acupuncture and dry needling? Acupuncture is based off traditional Chinese medicine and is used for overall wellness and healing. Dry needling aims at creating a local twitch response, which is caused by the muscle being stimulated from the needle. This stimulation helps to cause a decrease in pain chemicals, increases blood flow, and helps the overactive muscle fibers to relax. Benefits

We will ask you a few extra questions upon booking, to protect the health and safety of all our patients and staff: Questions include:
When we greet you at reception we won’t shake hands...we are not being rude, just trying to stop the spread! We have put out extra hand sanitizer and encourage our patients to use it too. We have increased our cleaning frequency over and above our usual high standards. For flu-like symptoms without a suspected exposure to coronavirus, we respectfully ask that you reschedule your appointment to when your symptoms have subsided (you do not necessarily need to wait 14 days in this instance). This is an existing protocol we have for typical flu season prevention measures. If you have been in contact with a confirmed case, we will discuss whether you are considered a CLOSE contact or a CASUAL contact to determine next steps. Next steps may involve a referral to a doctor to see if you need to be tested. The Dept of Health has created a free online training course for health care workers, but we thought the general community may be interested in it too. It includes tips and tricks to keep yourself and those you care for safe. It’s free to register and enrol. Here’s the link: https://bit.ly/2xLmzDd News and advice is changing daily and we encourage you to visit the Department of Health site as your primary source of information: https://www.health.gov.au/.
