With Easter right around the corner and the cost of living rising, there’s no doubt that stress is running high.

While there’s a lot that is out of our control, there is something you can control and that is managing and controlling stress.

Massage is just one of hundreds of great way to lower stress and manage Anxiety.

Massage can physically relax the muscles from tension, and activate the Parasympathetic System or the “rest and Digest” and get those serotonin and dopamine “feel good” hormones flowing.

Massage can lower heart rate, improve sleep, and offer both immediate calm and long-term anxiety management, along with many other benefits.

We are open Saturday mornings and throughout the Easter period (not including public holidays) - call 3511 1112 or book online at physiologix.com.au

Bracing or taping your ankle after injury can help prevent recurrent injury, especially in the 6months to 1 year after initial injury.

And it will not negatively affect you if you decide to keep protecting your ankle long term.

If you feel you need it then go with your gut, feeling psychologically more ready for your sport can help prevent injury!

At Physiologix we have a range of ankle braces you can try. Or we can teach you how to safely strap your own ankle if you prefer taping. Book a physio appointment to lean more or pop in and try out the braces we have.

At Physiologix we specialise in treating hip and pelvic pain. We have the great privilege of supporting many of you who have a Total Hip Replacement. This is a surgery done on all ages, from young to old. Andy Murray proved you can make it back to elite tennis. This surgery means you can crack on with life and not be held back by your hip pain.

There are 5 key steps to help make sure you give yourself the best chance of a good recovery after your op.

1. Do your Prehab-get surgery ready. Get as fit as you can within the limits of pain. On the bike? In the pool? Get as strong as you can without increasing pain. Our physios will set you up with a program not just for your hip but your lower limb and body in general. Understand your surgery, the things you can do at home and in day to day life to help you be post-op ready.

2. Get into your exercises from the start. A physio’ll see you in hospital to get you going. We’ll see you after you get home to ensure you are doing everything right, and progress you when you’re able. Move regularly – little and often can be better than too much at once. TAKE YOUR MEDS. No points for bravery: less pain = do better.

3. Be Specific: Once through the first months of rehab, your exercises can start to be more specific towards what you would like to achieve. Do you want to play tennis, play golf, manage gardening?

4. Be Time Realistic. Hip replacement is major surgery. Recovery takes time. You’ll lose a lot of fitness as you cant do as much as what you do normally. This and the surgery means things takes months to get to where you want to be. Be kind to yourself, take the time your body needs to heal. Everyone is different so don’t
compare with people you know – listen to your body and do what you need to do.

5. Keep up your exercises long term. People get very focused in their first months after surgery. We will also help you design an exercise program to do long term which will not only help to protect and manage the new hip but make sure you are better conditioned to keep doing the things you want to do long term.

Have you noticed the round marks on many of the tennis players or swimmers backs?

So many athletes use cupping as an essential part of looking after their body.

How does it work? Cupping uses heat and manual pumping to create a suction of a cup type instrument onto the body. This can then be moved around using an oil layer.

The exact science of how it works is up for debate, maybe increased circulation and blood flow to the area, maybe fascial movement. But it can work wonders for tight and sore muscles.

Our remedial massage therapists use cupping as one of their tools to help get your body to relax, recover and heal.

It is International Womens Day!

In our work of physio, massage and pilates, it is essential to understand not only the different issues faced through the decades of life from young to old, but also the difference with gender.

We need to understand the differences in growth as a teenager and that girls can be slower to develop muscle despite getting taller, what the menstrual cycle means to risk of injury like ACL in the knee, what the different phases of pregnancy mean for the body, postpartum what you can do and when, peirimenopausally why pain and musculoskeletal injuries such as tendon problems proliferate, what happens post menopausally to the muscle and bone system.

Women are different: we need and deserve the specific and specialist knowledge around what being female means, in all decades of our lives. At Physiologix we ensure we stay up to date with the latest research, helping us provide the very best service directed to YOU!
