We've all heard of concussion but what is it and how does it affect our bodies?
Concussion's are a serious injury and not to be taken lightly because of the short and long term implications that they may have on your health. Concussions result from either direct force to the head or sudden deceleration injuries. The brain shifts within the skull and impacts the inside of the head. This impact can cause bleeding, swelling and damage to the brain. If after the incident you experience vomiting, loss of memory, altered coordination or severe headaches which you should present to the emergency department at the hospital for assessment.
But what about after this initial period or those lesser symptoms? Confusion, irritability, mild headaches, fatigue, neck pain and so on. The symptoms can be more subtle than you think and can last months or sometimes even years. The important thing is to give your body the chance to heal through reducing your neural load; work, social and physical; to reduce the impact it may have in the future. Osteopathy is well placed to help you navigate through this time, assist with symptom relief through light manual therapies and give you guidance to help get you back on track in the quickest and safest way possible. Check out our page if you think this may apply to you! https://www.totalbalanceosteo.com.au/

Wealth Is Togetherness with community organizer Kennedy Odede | A Bit of Optimism Podcast 13/09/2024

Sometimes it’s hard to explain the reverse culture shock I get when returning back to Australia after my trips to Cambodia. Kennedy does an excellent job at explaining how rich the community is in third world countries, including Cambodia. This disconnection & materialism is what I most struggle with when I come home.

Hi team,
We love to share the love & story others in need.

Thumbs up to anyone who can donate this final weekend of Share the Dignity's -Dignity Drive we have the most charity requests we have EVER received from our charity partners. Across Australia they have requested over 300,000 period products and so far we have only collected 45% with just this weekend to go....

So please can we urge you to donate unopened period products or incontinence aids at a Woolworths supermarket or business collection point THIS weekend. We don't want anyone to have to face the indignity of period poverty.

You can donate a packet of period products for LESS than $2! If you don't shop at Woolworths NEVER fear! You can buy the products at Coles etc and drop them into any of the CBA in the area on Monday - or ExtravaDance Studios - or contact Amanda Graham to arrange drop off.

Given the wide range of hip issues, from age-related changes, your osteopath can provide guidance on specific activities and exercises to help manage hip discomfort.

Massage is one of the fastest growing complementary medicine practices today. Steeped in years of history, it is known to be the oldest form of physical medicine.
Massage is the manipulation of soft tissues within the body, utilising different techniques.
During a session with one of our Remedial Massage Therapists (RMT), a holistic approach to treatment will be taken to support the body’s self-healing abilities. Various techniques will be utilised, focusing on alleviating pain through releasing tension in muscles and increasing range of motion. While also stimulating blood-flow to help control inflammation.
Throughout the session you and the RMT will work together to discover the root cause of the issue.

Imagine you're at the office, focused on a project with a tight deadline. Hours pass as you sit hunched over your computer, leading to a dull ache in your lower back — a common issue from unvaried, unaltered and prolonged static posture.

Office marathons can often result in discomfort and stiffness in the lower back due to movement and muscle fatigue. Osteopathy uses manual therapy techniques that aim to reduce discomfort and improve mobility and strength in the affected area.

Discover how osteopathy may help manage office-induced back pain and enhance your overall well-being. Learn more about the potential benefits of osteopathy: https://whatisosteo.com/body-map/low-back-pain/

What is Dry Needling?
Many of you would have heard of acupuncture and thought that dry needling is the same. This is a common misconception; rather than acupuncture which is a part of Chinese Medicine practice and focuses on meridian lines and the flow of energy through the body- Dry needling is a targeted musculoskeletal therapy that we apply as Osteopaths at Total Balance Osteopathy. Dry needling involves inserting a small gauge needle intomuscular trigger points, connective tissues and neural systems and is applied to create a physiological reduction in muscular tightness. This occurs through promoting neuro-stimulation and vascularisation of the muscle which then in turn leads to an increase in blood and nutrient supply to the muscle to facilitate healing. Overall Needling is a safe and effective technique when applied by a qualified medical practitioner which we use daily to achieve great results with our clients.
Get in contact to find out whether Dry Needling could help you via (02)65846122 or book an appointment @ https://www.totalbalanceosteo.com.au/booking/ See less
