It's easy to get SO caught up in our everyday lives that we forget to look after our health (and support the health of those around us) until something goes wrong. Some of our top tips for staying on top of your health, include: 1. Exercise atleast 3 times a week, 2. Drink 2 litres of water everyday, 3. Treat yourself to a massage once a month (this ensures your body stays in 'tip top' shape), 4. If you are injured, seek support straight away and stick to your rehab plan, 5. reach out to a different person every week. We often undervalue the importance of social relationships when it comes to our health. You'll be surprised what a significant difference a daily 5 minute conversation can have on people who are socially isolated. If you are after specific advice for how to get more value out of your health, talk to us today!

If you have been keeping an eye on our socials, you'll know that tomorrow is NF2 awareness day. Not many people are aware this condition even exists, so we're doing our part to help raise awareness about it! You can help us by wearing either blue or green to support this great cause. NF2 is a condition that causes tumours to grow along your nerves. With NF2, it is not uncommon for these tumours to grow on the acoustic nerves, resulting in hearing loss, vertigo and tinnitus.

Anyone else feel this?! 🤣🙋🏼‍♀️

Did you know we offer dry needling? Dry needling is often performed in conjunction with your remedial massage and is useful for treating acute injuries and muscle spasms. With dry needling we find the trigger points to loosen up tightness. Only some of our therapists perform this technique and those that do so have undergone extra special training. To book in with one of our therapists that does dry needling, book online or call us on 07 3310 4494.

There are so many benefits to group exercise! Did you know that our Exercise Physiologists run a range of small group classes that are focused on building your strength, flexibility and balance? If you are over 45 and you're looking to maintain your mobility and independence for longer, check out our classes via our website. The best news is, your first class is free to come and try.

Here's another fact for NF Awareness Month. Neurofibromatoses are a group of genetic disorders that cause tumours to form on nerve tissue. They can develop anywhere in the nervous system, resulting in deafness, blindness, other abnormalities and disabling pain. The good news is that if you are suffering from NF, Urban Well is here to help. Call us on (07) 3310 4494 to find out what we can do for you.

Here's another fact for NF Awareness Month. While NF tumours are not cancerous, they can cause many other serious health problems (depending on where the tumour is), as the tumour presses on nearby body tissues.

Here's another fact about neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) as part of NF Awareness Month. NF2 often causes tumours on both auditory nerves, which can result in tinnitus, hearing loss and balance problems. Hence, it is common for people with NF2 to see an Audiologist about managing these symptoms.

Today, the 12th of May is International ME/CFS Awareness Day. Around 250,000 Australians suffer from ME/CFS. For many people, this condition is lifelong, resulting in self-isolation due to being bedbound. This disease impacts many parts of the body, including the brain and muscles as well as the digestive, immune and cardiac systems. is the global campaign for ME/CFS. This campaign raises awareness of how people living with ME/CFS 'go missing' from their own lives. For more information on this condition, head to: https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/about/index.html

As it is Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month, it only seems fitting to write a blog about it. To learn more about this condition, go to: https://urbanwell.com.au/neurofibromatosis-type-2/

Throughout the month of May we will be sharing a range of facts about neurofibromatosis (NF) for NF Awareness Month. NF causes tumours to grow along your nerves. NF2 is less common than NF1 but it still affects 1 in every 25,000 people.

May is Neurofibromatosis (NF) Awareness Month. Throughout the month of May, we will be sharing NF facts, driving awareness about this condition. Neurofibromatosis type 2 is often a hereditary condition that can result in bilateral acoustic tumours, thus causing hearing loss. For NF awareness month the campaign is to 'shine light on NF' by lighting up homes, buildings and bridges in green and blue. If you cannot do this, simply show your support by wearing a blue and green shirt on the 22nd May for NF2 day.

Have you ever heard of 'opportunist stretching'? If you haven't, we aren't surprised because it's a new term we made up. When we say opportunist stretching, we are talking about taking any opportunity you can to stretch - whether it is touching your toes while the kettle boils or stretching your arms above your head while you sit down to watch Netflix. Many of us do not realise the importance of stretching everyday, that is, until we lose our flexibility or mobility. In fact, the Mayo clinic recommends stretching for 10-15 mins, twice to three times a day. If you need help with finding the right stretches for you, book in for a one-on-one stretching session with us today. Give us a call on (07) 3310 4494. 💪🏃🧎
