A great evening last night by , listening to Neurosurgeon Dr Neil Cochrane and Pain Specialist Dr Richard Sullivan from Precision Brain, Spine & Pain present on the management of spinal pain. If spinal pain is effecting your life, contact me to organise an assessment and discuss whether referral is needed.

Caught on camera doing my McKenzie exercises, after a long drive to sunny coast. ☀️

After a period of prolonged sitting (spinal flexion), it’s important to alleviate tension by moving in the opposite position (repeated spinal extension). For me, this helps free my back, reduces stiffness, and allows me to move with ease.

“The McKenzie Method was developed in the 1960s by Robin McKenzie, a physical therapist in New Zealand. In his practice, he noted that extending the spine could provide significant pain relief to certain patients and allow them to return to their normal daily activities.

The long-term goal of the McKenzie Method is to teach patients suffering from back pain how to treat themselves and manage their own pain for life using exercise and other strategies.”

If you suffer from back pain or stiffness, book to find out if McKenzie exercises are right to you.

Find a physio who knows your sport 🏋️‍♀️
Patient: “my shoulder hurts when I do a snatch”
If the Physio’s response is “what’s a snatch” 😳🧐🤦🏻 they are not the physio for you.

GET TO KNOW YOUR PHYSIO: PART ONE

I like CrossFit. I started CrossFit in 2017, when I broke my ankle and the surgeon told me I had to be in a moonboot for 4 months! 😱😡
I wasn’t allowed to run, but I could stand and lift weights, swing off a bar and climb a rope (leg less of course).

So I started weightlifting. And I loved it. As an x-elite gymnast, it was the perfect combination of strength, gymnastics and cardio (even without running - boy did I sweat 🥵).

From a Physio’s perspective, it is an incredible sport that teaches safe lifting.

“Lifting weights isn’t dangerous, but being weak is”. If we prepare the body to lift safely and improve our strength, our risk of injury actually reduces!! 💪🏻

When colleagues become friends. 🥰 Thank you for the stunning flowers from my awesome team.

If you have to wear a mask, might as well make it fun! 🦩

This is why generic injury information is difficult. What a sprained ankle might mean to the 55 yo desk worker and 25 yo national runner is completely different!!!
Physio’s specialize in treating people - WITH injuries. Not just injuries.

I want to understand what this injury means to you. So we can work together to treat … YOU - and your sprained ankle 😉

jury

To all my patients who decided to run the “virtual” GC marathon, 2021. I am so incredibly proud of you. All your training, dedication and hard work wasn’t going to be lost. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
Jm_physio is here for all your recovery needs.

TIPS:
1) Rehydrate - sip liquids with electrolytes throughout the next few days to replenish your body
2) Take a Magnesium bath - magnesium aids in muscle relaxation and tissue repair
3) Don’t stiffen up - some light stretches or a morning stroll or ride will help reduce the post race aches
4) Get a recovery massage - a “flush” is a style of physio massage used to assist in removing lactic acid from your muscles and aids the lymphatic system to clear toxins from the body
5) Most importantly - BE PROUD! In a year full with challenges, stop and give yourself a massive pat on the back for what you achieved. 🥳

What to expect at Physio:

1. Someone who listens 👂 and genuinely cares 🤗
2. At your initial consult, we will have an extensive chat so I can get to know you. Your life, your goals, your priorities and most importantly, what brought you to physio.
3. Then, I will perform a series of physical tests to help diagnosis your condition. I will assess the way you move, check your strength and flexibility to determine possible causes.
4. Treatment (Where the magic ✨ happens)
Physio’s have many skills. Personally, I incorporate massage, joint mobilization, manipulation/ adjustments , dry needling, acupuncture, strapping, PNF stretches, complimentary home exercises, training program modifications and most importantly, a plan!
5. A plan for your recovery, and future management strategies.

If you have any questions, please DM.

Current Pilates timetable 🧘‍♀️ 💪🏻

New timetable coming Term 3, 2021

When a patient brings your Pilates books 🎁 💝
What is Pilates 🤷‍♀️ ???

“Pilates exercises as a whole develop strong abdominal, back , butt and deep postural muscles to support the skeletal system. The Pilates method works to strengthen the centre, lengthen the spine, increase body awareness, build muscle tone, and gain flexibility. Pilates is also an excellent rehabilitation system for back, knee, hip, shoulder and neck injuries or chronic tightness.”

Always puts a smile 😊 on my face to hear such wonderful feedback. This was a referral from a GC orthopedic/ spinal surgeon for management of a lovely young lady with long standing and complex lower back pain.

I have a real passion for treatming lower back pain (after suffering multiple lower back injuries myself.) If you have any questions regarding your back pain - DM me. ✍️
