If you've heard an osteopath discuss the benefits

If you've heard an osteopath discuss the benefits of certain treatment types OR you might have read about the benefits of hands-on techniques. It's likely you've heard "it's great for increasing blood flow!". BUT why is this an important benefit? 🤔

The big thing about your blood is it's essential to healing! It carries oxygen, immune cells, and other nutrients to your tissues. These are all important in allowing your tissues (bones, muscles, and ligaments) to heal. Our cells need these items to live and grow! The blood also help to take away waste products from our tissues which we also need during the healing process.

Our body is designed to keep us going in the worst of times, what we want to do is use our own system to help us if we do run into trouble! Hence why we love to use techniques which can help increase blood flow 🤯

Have you been upping your walking or running game

Have you been upping your walking or running game since lockdown started? Have you noticed an increase in pain through the front of your shins? 😫

When we start to increase our exercise regime, sometimes we can forget that our body also needs time to adjust. If you’ve gone from not walking very often to walking or running lots a kms a day, it’s likely your body is trying to adjust to a new movement style and pattern.

One of the things that can happen is as we try to walk faster, harder, and further we start to engage the smaller muscle in the leg instead of our powerhouses of movement like the glutes or hamstrings. As this happens, we start to see irritation of the muscle, tendons or even further the periosteum (a layer of tissue surrounding a bone).

The good news is that osteopaths can look at the way you are moving, how the joints of your leg (ankle, knee, and hip) are functioning, and all the in-between! So if you’ve been struggling with leg pain or have more questions, you can always call us on (03) 9859 5059 or jump on our website linked in our bio 😍

Did you know osteopaths treat jaw pain? 🤯

Jaw pain is a common complaint and it can happen for a variety of reasons. The joint that is affected is called the temporomandibular joint (TMJ for short). In times of stress sometimes we might find ourselves clenching our teeth, or perhaps you grind your teeth while you sleep. These are just a couple of reasons we might see patients develop jaw pain. 😬

The good news is, like most joints in the body, there are ways to try and settle down those angry tissues. Your osteopath may use soft tissue on sore muscles, and we can also mobilise the joint to help it move more freely. We can also look at the other structures close by that might be impacting your pain like the neck!

So if you've been struggling with jaw pain, you can always give the clinic a call to book an appointment or use the link in our bio!

Have you ever heard of bursitis? Have you been won

Have you ever heard of bursitis? Have you been wondering what that actually means? 🤔

First let's break down the word:
Bursa are fluid filled sac that are in our joints that are designed to provide cushioning and help how joints move nice and smoothly. ITIS really just means inflammation. So really what bursitis mean is the inflammation of those sacs within the joints. 😫

Some common areas we see bursitis is the shoulder, hip and knee. You can imagine that an inflammation of these sacs is likely going to result in pain. Combine that with swelling and we start to see other structures involved as well as they get compressed and irritated.

The main reason we see bursitis is from repeated stress to the joint, but sometimes one big trauma to the area like a fall can be what triggers the condition!

The good news is osteopaths are trained to figure out what is causing your pain, and if it is bursitis they'll be able to work with you on creating a plan to best tackle your problem. This can include hands-on therapy and exercises or at home advice. The main thing is, we want to get you back to doing what you do best! 🥰

What is the main cause of frozen shoulder?

Also known as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder is a 3 phase condition that affects the joint. It starts off with pain which leads to reduced movement and then eventually we see a recovery process.

Are you curious about learning more on what to expect from frozen shoulder? Would you like to know where osteopathy can step in to help? Click the link in our bio!

What is Anatomy in Motion? 🤔

Anatomy in Motion is a type of appointment available at Boroondara Osteopathy. It's a movement pattern based treatment that was developed by Gary Ward.

To put it as simply as possible, it's all about understanding what your bodies current movement patterns are, how you got there, and what we need to teach your body to do to get you moving and feeling better.

Our body is very intelligent in that when we have an injury, it knows to change its movements to help us in the short term. Unfortunately in the long term, those patterns can upset other areas of the body which may give us pain. We want to figure out those patterns and change them so you can move freely! 😌

Low back pain got you down?? 😫

When we're stressed AND working from home, it might feel as though having to deal with low back pain is just part of the gig. It shouldn't have to be though!

Osteopathic care offers a hands-on approach to looking after your low back. With a range of skills our goal is to loosen off those angry muscles and keep your joints moving smoothly. Osteopaths are able to approach this goal in a number of ways, some in the treatment room with us, and we'll also equip you with the knowledge of what you might be able to at home to get back to doing what you do best!
