Cleared at your 6-week check? That doesn’t mean you’re ready to run. 🛑🏃‍♀️

Many new mums are told they can "go back to normal" at 6 weeks, but running places huge load on your pelvic floor (up to 2.5x your body weight!).

Current clinical guidelines actually recommend waiting 12 weeks before hitting the pavement to avoid prolapse and injury.

So, how do you know if your body is actually ready?

We’ve put together a complete Physio Checklist covering:
✅ The "Hop Test" (Can you pass it?)
✅ Pelvic floor strength requirements
✅ Why "heaviness" is a major red flag

Understanding when to run postpartum could prevent pelvic floor damage—most Melbourne mums start too early without realizing the risks.

Is your "migraine" actually coming from your neck? 🤔

If you’ve been battling relentless headaches that start at the base of your skull and radiate to one eye or temple, you might not be dealing with a migraine at all.

You might be suffering from a Cervicogenic Headache.

Unlike true migraines, these are caused by mechanical dysfunction in the upper neck (C1-C3 vertebrae) sending faulty pain signals to your brainstem. The good news? Because it’s mechanical, it can be treated with physiotherapy.

We’ve written a complete guide on how to tell the difference and how to treat the root cause.

Going from active days (or relaxing on the couch) to sitting static for 8 hours a day is a shock to the spine.

3 Quick Checks for Your Desk Setup:

1. Monitor Height: The top of your screen should be at eye level. If you are looking down, you are adding kilos of pressure to your neck.
2. The "90-Degree" Rule: Your elbows and knees should be bent at roughly 90 degrees. If your feet don't touch the floor, grab a footrest (or a stack of printer paper!).
3. Motion is Lotion 🧴: The best posture is your next posture. Set a timer to stand up or stretch every 45 minutes.

Did you know that "jaw pain" is often actually a neck problem in disguise? 🦒💥

If you suffer from clicking, locking, or that annoying "pop" when you chew, you might be dealing with TMJ dysfunction. It can cause tension headaches, ear pain, and make eating a misery.

The good news? You don't just have to live with it.

In our latest article, we explain the critical link between your cervical spine (neck) and your jaw—and how treating them together provides lasting relief.

Why "Resting" Your Shoulder Might Be Making It Worse. 🛑

We see it all the time at the clinic. You have a nagging shoulder pain, so you stop moving it. The pain settles down... until you try to hang the washing out or throw a ball for the dog, and it comes roaring back.

Why? Because rest doesn't fix the tissue structure.

If you are dealing with Calcific Tendonitis or Chronic Rotator Cuff issues, the tissue needs to be stimulated to heal, not just rested.

In our latest article, we dive deep into Shockwave Therapy—the non-invasive technology we use to: ✅ Break down stubborn calcium deposits. ✅ Restart the body's natural healing process. ✅ Help you avoid surgery and cortisone injections.

If you're stuck in the "pain-rest-pain" cycle, this is a must-read.

Before committing to cortisone injections or surgery for shoulder pain, discover how shockwave therapy offers a breakthrough non-surgical alternative.
