Are you getting any bladder leakage when you laugh, sneeze or exercise? Or perhaps you're finding sexual in*******se painful or getting pelvic pain?

Many people think these are normal things that they have to live with, especially after having children, but these are signs of pelvic floor dysfunction that shouldn't be normalised. When the pelvic floor becomes weakened and is no longer able to provide the support it should to the bladder, uterus and other organs, that's when pelvic floor dysfunction arises. Our physiotherapist's can help you with these issues and even assess for more serious issues including prolapse.

Everybody should be able to enjoy life without having to worry when sneezing or laughing so come and see us today! 😊
Stay tuned for the rest of November as we focus on pelvic floor health.

Last week the Rural Workforce Agency Victoria (RWAV) visited us, alongside other health sites in Gippsland.

RWAV improves access to quality primary care health services and other health services for rural, regional and First Nations communities across Victoria. They aim to recruit and support the health workforce across Victoria through recruitment, locum, outreach and grant programs, informed by data, research and collaboration.

It was fantastic to chat with them about what they could offer regional services like ourself, in addition to providing them feedback about the healthcare needs of Latrobe Valley. 👩‍⚕️💪

Following on from last weeks post about desk position and posture, let's delve deeper into ways to break up your sitting position! These are what we like to refer to as 'movement snacks' and your body loves movement snacks! Pick one 'snack' every 30-60 minutes, it wont take you long and your body will thank you for it.

✔️ Shoulder blade squeezes: hold 3 sec, repeat 10x
✔️ Sit-to-stands: 5–10 reps
✔️ Neck rolls : slow and gentle, side to side
✔️ Torso twists : 10 each way
✔️ Take your phone call standing up
✔️ Walk to the bin instead of tossing paper at it 😉

It doesn’t have to be a workout, just little bursts of movement to keep your back and body happy.

Does your job involve spending most of your day sitting at your desk? Then this post is for you! 🙋‍♀️

Below are our 5 top tips for Desk Posture to keep yourself comfortable at work👇
1. Keep your monitor at eye level and about an arm’s length away.
2 Sit with your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.
3. Adjust lumbar support (or use a rolled-up towel) to maintain the natural curve of your lower back.
4. Avoid perching on the edge of your seat—sit back so your lower back rests against the chair.
5. Change positions regularly—every 30–45 minutes, stand up, stretch, or take a short walk before resuming work.

And bonus points if you've got a sit/stand desk and are able to alternate every hour between sitting and standing at your desk! 🏃

If you're suffering from back, neck or shoulder pain while sitting at your desk, it's always worth coming in for an assessment to let us help you become pain free!
