Diabetes Health Advice - myPhysioSA 24/09/2024

Key Diabetes Facts

Diabetes. It’s a word that when heard, has some bad associations, and can also be a little scary when you are hearing it for the first time as a diagnosis. The negative associations that come with diabetes (being unfit, lazy, overweight, not taking care of yourself), don’t help matters, and as much as there is a lot of information out there that can help you manage this health condition, it can all be a little overwhelming.

If you have just been diagnosed with some form of diabetes (there are three types, but we’ll get into those differences in the next section), the main thing to remember is, don’t panic! As much as diabetes is increasing in our society (Type 2 diabetes affects 1 in 11 Australian adults), with more diagnosis’ comes more information, and more ways to help those who have it.

Now, there are some key facts and information that people who are living with diabetes have to be aware of. As I said above, it is a health condition, and like all health conditions, if it isn’t managed well, then it can have very serious effects on your overall health and well-being. But take these key message out of the information written below;

Diabetes Mellitus is just a way of saying the type of disorder that occurs when someone has diabetes. Mellitus refers to the inability to metabolise carbohydrates properly. When you hear ‘diabetes mellitus’, it is the same as ‘diabetes’.

A diabetes diagnosis doesn’t have to be as scary as it might seem.

There is help out there that you can access.Feeling overwhelmed is ok!

Changing small things in your life can add up to big things when it comes to your health.

Osteoporosis and Exercise - myPhysioSA 21/09/2024

Osteoporosis and Exercise

What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disease that affects two thirds of Australians over 50 years old.

In osteoporosis the bones become porous and brittle, leading to an increased risk of fractures from falls – leading to reduced independence, muscle weakness, and decreased quality of life.

Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose minerals, particularly calcium, quicker than the body can replace them. Fortunately, bone is a dynamic tissue constantly remodelling, and with enough stimulus and nutrition, bone mass can be maintained.

Read all the advice here:

Do you often feel urgency to go to the toilet and when you rush to the toilet and empty, you realise there was only a small amount of urine passed?

This is called bladder urgency and can be a symptom of overactive bladder, a condition which is often associated with urinary frequency, urgency and urge incontinence.

There can be a few causes of this. Jane, a myPhysioSA for her Women's Health Physiotherapist in Adelaide, discusses one of the common causes, which is an overactive detrusor muscle. This is the muscular wall that surrounds the bladder and contracts to make you pass urine.

If your detrusor muscle becomes overactive, called overactive bladder, then you can go to the toilet much more often than the usual 4-6 times per day.

Jane explains it all in this video, and then gives some practical advice of how to start taking control of the urgency and train your overactive detrusor muscle to reduce urgency.

Definition of Urinary urgency: An immediate unstoppable urge to urinate, due to a sudden involuntary contraction of the muscular wall of the bladder or urinating more than 8 times daily or twice at night (urinary frequency).

Symptoms include:
Urgency. This means that you get a sudden urgent desire to pass urine. You are not able to put off going to the toilet.

Frequency. This means going to the toilet often – more than seven times a day. In many cases it is a lot more than seven times a day.

Nocturia. This means waking to go to the toilet more than once at night.

Urge incontinence occurs in some cases. This is a leaking of urine before you can get to the toilet when you have a feeling of urgency.

Balance exercise tips - myPhysioSA 16/09/2024

Balance exercise tips

Balance is crucial for overall well-being and is essential in various aspects of daily life. Here are some key reasons highlighting the importance of balance

• Falls prevention
Maintaining good balance helps prevent falls, especially in older adults. Falls can lead to serious injuries, and having good balance can reduce the risk of accidents.

• Functional independence and quality of life
Balance is essential for performing daily activities such as walking, standing and reaching. It contributes to functional independence and the ability to carry out routine tasks with ease. It allows individuals to participate in a wide range of activities and experience a higher level of overall well-being.

• Posture and alignment
Balance is integral to maintaining correct posture and body alignment. It helps prevent musculoskeletal issues and reduces the strain on joints and muscles

• Athletic performance
Athletes in various sports require excellent balance for optimal performance. Whether it’s running, jumping, or making precise movements, a well-developed sense of balance enhances athletic abilities.

• Cognitive function
There is a connection between physical balance and cognitive function. Practicing activities that challenge balance can stimulate the brain and contribute to cognitive well-being.
