🤓 Is your child struggling with paying attention in school or at home?

Our sensory systems have a huge impact on our attention. The more efficient our sensory system is, the easier we can focus our attention. For children, if their sensory needs are not met (e.g. they have not played for long enough) then paying attention can be much more challenging. This may lead to school work or participating in class becoming a challenge.

If your child is struggling to keep up with peers, is a bit clumsy, and struggles with coordination e.g. throwing tasks, handwriting, and balance, they may need some targeted intervention to boost their motor skills and help keep them active.

Growing pains should last no more than 4-6 weeks and should not be influenced by changes in activity levels. If pain is persisting, or seems to fluctuate with changes to the amount of activity your child is doing, it could be more than just growing pains!

☎️ If you have questions about your child’s growing pains get in touch with us at the clinic today on 9439 6776 to find out how physiotherapist Nick Callanan can assist you.

🚨 Did you know that a staggering 71% of migraine sufferers in Australia are women? This condition disproportionately affects women, yet awareness and understanding remain low.

Migraine Australia have some great resources available to the public.
🌐Link available here: https://www.migraine.org.au/about_migraine

🧠⚡Migraine disease is a complex neurological disease that impacts nearly every body system. As a spectrum disease, the frequency and severity of attacks and the range of symptoms vary from person to person.

😎✨ We are shining a light on migraine disease by rocking some shades and sparking conversations. Let's create a major buzz about this invisible struggle

🚨 Nearly 5 million Australians suffer from migraines, yet many endure in silence due to stigma and misinformation. Migraine can start in childhood and often appears in a persons 20s or 30s. It can take years to diagnose and has many triggers and symptoms.

There are many different treatment and management options available. Migraine Australia has a great page on their website which discusses all of these options.

📢🚹 It's International Men's Health Week! This year we are shining a spotlight on the importance of Men's Health Checks.

Did you know that 50 men in Australia die each day from preventable causes? That's around 18,000 lives lost each year. By increasing the number of men getting regular health checks, we can help reduce this number.

The Australian Men's Health Forum (AMHF) is here to guide you on which checks to get and when💪
