Whiplash is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents but can also result from an unexpected blow to the head such as that received during contact sports (e.g. rugby, boxing) or physical abuse or assault (e.g. shaken baby syndrome). Slips or falls that result in the head being jolted backwards can also cause whiplash.

Early treatment is important to keep your neck mobile because early active movement has been shown to speed up recovery. Stretching and movement exercises will help to restore the range of motion in your neck, for example slowly and gently bending your neck toward your chest tucking your chin in, slowly tilting your head side to side, and rolling your shoulders. The use of soft neck collars has been discouraged as it has been shown to reduce muscle strength and delay recovery.

If you have suffered a whiplash injury and it is not settling feel free to contact the clinic!

Calving may be winding down, but the aches and pains don’t just disappear.

Back strain from lifting, shoulder and neck pain from long days, or niggles in your knees and hips are all really common after the busiest stretch of the year.
Don’t ignore those injuries — getting physio now can help you recover faster and stay strong for the months ahead.

Did you know September/October are often the busiest months for physios working with farmers?
Calving season takes a toll — lifting heavy bags of feed, long hours on your feet, awkward movements while helping cows, and those little strains that build up into bigger injuries.

If you’ve been powering through pain, now’s the perfect time to get checked over before it turns into something more serious. A physio session can help keep you moving well for the rest of the season.

Three snack ideas to keep you fuelled throughout the day:

1. Greek Yogurt with Berries and Granola: Greek yogurt is high in protein, which can help keep you full and satisfied. Top it with fresh berries for a dose of antioxidants and fibre, and add a sprinkle of granola for some crunch and energy-boosting carbohydrates.

2. Apple Slices with Nut Butter: Slice up an apple and pair it with your favourite nut butter, such as almond or peanut butter. The combination of fibre from the apple and healthy fats and protein from the nut butter makes for a satisfying and nutritious snack.

3. Vegetable Sticks with Hummus: Chop up some colourful vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers, and serve them with a side of hummus for dipping. This snack is packed with vitamins, minerals, and fibre, and the protein from the hummus will help keep hunger at bay.
