At the end of last year, Dr Tonilee completed advanced training in sports concussion management, from Dr. Brett Jarosz. Allowing her to support people in our local community with modern, evidence-based care.

If you or your child experiences a knock to the head, Dr Tonilee can assess symptoms and tailor a management plan that supports safe recovery and return to school, sport, and daily life.

Concussion care has evolved. Outdated approaches like prolonged rest and “cocoon therapy” are no longer considered best practice.

If you’re unsure what to do after a head knock, or want guidance you can trust, we’re here to help.

P.s Yes, that first picture is of Dr. Tonilee in her horse riding days.

Backpacks are back… so let’s check their backs.

New routines, heavier backpacks and growing bodies make this the perfect time to check in on your child’s spine.

Keep an eye out for our email next week, where we’ll show you what to look for in your child’s posture and spine, and when you may want to visit a chiropractor.

If you’re unsure what you’re looking for, we’re here to support and educate you.

Recently in practice, we have noticed an influx of people coming in for calf tightness. Maybe it’s because the Melbourne Marathon event has just taken place and everyone has taken up running, or maybe it’s because summer is just around the corner and people are becoming more active. Or is it because our nervous systems are in fight or flight mode, ready to flee?

Either way, here are our three go-to exercises that we have been giving our patients:

1. Double Leg Eccentric Calf Raise over a step: 2 seconds up, 5 seconds down, 3 sets of 6 reps (strengthening the muscle in the lengthened position).
2. Downward Dog, pedalling your feet down: 3 sets of 12 reps (dynamic stretch).
3. Bunny Hops: 3 sets of 30 seconds to a metronome at 160-180 BPM (the Achilles tendon loves spring).

If you would like more information on how to perform these exercises or on rehabilitation, please don’t hesitate to ask our friendly and knowledgeable team! :)

Let’s talk about the magic of tummy time! 🍼✨
It’s not just playtime; it’s essential for your baby’s growth and development!

Here are some amazing benefits:

1. Strengthens Muscles 💪: Tummy time helps build strong neck, shoulder, and back muscles as your baby pushes up and lifts their head.

2. Enhances Motor Skills 🚼: It encourages reaching, rolling, and crawling, laying the foundation for future milestones!

3. Boosts Coordination 🎯: Focusing on toys during tummy time helps improve hand-eye coordination, develops spatial awareness and balance.

4. Supports Nervous System Development 🧠: Gradual exposure to different positions stimulates sensory processing, aiding brain development to meet their milestones.

5. Prevents Flat Spots 📏: Regular tummy time reduces the risk of plagiocephaly (flat spot on your babies head) by allowing the back of the head to rest.

Make tummy time fun! Use toys, get down on the floor with them, or sing while they play! Let’s give our little ones a strong start! 💖

Some babies’ appointments will look like this 🥹, while others might happily lay on the table or even snooze right through.

Our focus is always on what feels best and safest for your little one. Whether they prefer being cradled by mum or exploring the table, each experience is tailored to suit their needs and mood that day.

Every child is wonderfully unique, and their care should reflect that 🤰🏻🤱❤️
