South Yarra Osteopathy

Come do some mindfulness with Caity, as she soaks up the sun’s rays! ☀️☀️☀️
The sunlight can help with:
• Increasing Vitamin D levels
• Improving mood
• Boosting serotonin
• Reducing stress.
You don’t have to stay out too long though. Experts only recommend around 15mins in the sun to get these benefits. And remember to wear your SPF 50 sunscreen! 🕶️🧴👒🧢

WATCH OUT!!!! swooping season!
It’s Important to stay calm around magpies during swooping season. REMEMBER, the magples are only trying to protect their territory, so don’t hurt them!
The best way to look after yourself would be to protect your head and eyes by wearing hats, helmets, and sunglasses.

There are multiple ways that we can image the Lumbar Spine!
An MRI is usually the gold standard for viewing pathology, as It can show the muscles, spinal discs, nerves, and spinal cord.
X-rays are another imaging technique used for the lumbar spine. This is usually used for detecting injury to the bones, spinal curvatures, or wear and tear of the cartilage and bones.

Sports injuries? We can help. 🏀⚽️🏈⚾️🎾Many of us like to participate in sports activities. From those who like to do a social game for fun and fitness to those who are elite professionals. Many of the injuries that occur when taking part in sports activities are the result of overuse i.e. playing too hard and too often e.g. tennis elbow, golfers elbow, and biceps tendinitis, or from not warming up properly beforehand or not warming down after exercise.

How can help?
• Our osteopaths can help improve performance as well as treat the occurrence of the injury. By using our knowledge of diagnosis and highly developed palpating skills they can help to restore structural balance, improve joint mobility and reduce adhesions and soft tissue restrictions so that ease of movement is restored and performance enhanced. For those wishing to keep fit, our osteopaths can help you keep supple and improve muscle time so reducing the risk of injury to soft tissue.
