We also deal with children with growth pain and imbalances such as muscle tightness and flat feet. We can fit soft orthotics to assist in correcting biomechanical issues. Manipulation: Manipulation is the process of mobilising joints using a variety of hands on techniques. These can range from gentle rocking motions to solid thrusts creating a “click” in the joint. These can be greatly beneficial for stiff or locked joints and often provide immediate relief. Mandurah Physiotherapy provides this in a safe environment and these techniques are only performed by experienced practitioners.

7. Acupuncture: Dry Needling is a form of Acupuncture and is the natural treatment of inserting small disposable sterile needles into the tissues to reduce pain, inflammation and speed up recovery. It is used as an adjunct to other physiotherapy treatment and can be very successful. It is performed at Mandurah Physiotherapy by our experienced physiotherapists with extensive training. Postural/Biomechanical Assessment: Posture assessment is vital to understand your problem and the reason for your pain. This enhances what needs to be corrected and you will have a better understanding of the problem and how to correct it. Exercise is vital for posture correction but so is body awareness and education. Biomechanics is the analysis of how you move. Mandurah Physiotherapists are highly trained in assessing not only how you move, but why and how we can fix the problem. A lot of injuries and musculoskeletal pain comes from poor biomechanics. Our staff at Mandurah Physiotherapy are trained to provide fast and efficient diagnosis and relief, and to give you home techniques to reduce your pain.

It is one of those areas of our body we use all the time and take for granted. And it can get injured, overused, and wear out with time, excess loading and poor posture. It can then cause pain, headaches, arm pain and a range of other symptoms such as vertigo and weakness. Physiotherapy is important for a full assessment of the problem, to see whether it’s coming from your neck or elsewhere and to ensure a treatment plan is in place. A home program is vital and may consist of stretch and strength work which will help control neck pain and allow maintenance of chronic pain to minimize flare-ups. Chronic neck pain following whiplash injuries is common. The neck muscles are used every day all day and it is very difficult to rest these injured structures. Apart from normal movements, they are vitally important in maintaining your posture. Whiplash can leave a weakness in the neck and sometimes degenerative changes. Whiplash is quite a complicated injury often causing headaches, face pain, neck pain, pins and needles, weakness, limitations of movements and often depression. Physiotherapy at a chronic stage should be twofold. First, the symptoms should settle down as quickly as is possible and then both the physiotherapist and the client must strive to ensure that the problem becomes manageable. It will probably not go away altogether, so strategies need to be devised in order to live and cope with the condition. This means regular exercise not only for the neck but also cardiovascular exercise, diet change, loss of weight if appropriate, posture adjustments and flare up strategies. The aim is to minimize flare-ups to prevent further damage. O i i ttl d d k h lth I t itt t

9. Once pain is settled, ensure good neck health. Intermittent maintenance treatment by your local physiotherapist every 4-6 weeks should help to control symptoms and manage neck pain. #Physiotherapist #pelvic floor physiotherapy #best physiotherapist near me #Sports Physiotherapy #physiotherapy centre near me #physiotherapist in mandurah    Are you a tradie in pain? Back & Posture A tradies’ health is their most important tool, yet Australian tradies experience some of the highest rates of injury and time off work compared to other workers. In fact, 3 in 5 serious workplace injuries involve a tradie, despite tradies making up only 30 percent of the Australian workforce. The Australian Physiotherapy Association is encouraging all tradies, their employers and families to think about their health and take a few simple steps to prioritise their wellbeing at work. Lower Back pain can be both painful and frustrating. It is also very common. Research indicates persistent low back pain is due to a range of factors including poor disc hydration/health, stiff spinal segments, poor muscle control, degeneration of the spine, nerve compression and is influenced by psychosocial issues. This may lead to not enough or too much movement between the vertebrae segments thus causing pain. If this is the case then specific exercises aimed at improving normal spinal range and function will improve the back’s function and decrease pain. These exercises involve both back muscles and abdominal muscles but play an entirely different role to the abdominal muscles we use with exercises such as sit-ups. In fact, there is a theory that these type of exercises such as sit-ups can actually cause an increase in chronic pain because the wrong type of muscles are being used and they are unable to stabilise and give the support necessary.

10. The muscles that stabilise the spine are the lower abdominal muscles, which include the transverse abdominous, and the internal oblique muscles. These muscles can be felt in the lower tummy area just below the front hipbones felt through the lower tummy. The simplest way to exercise them is to try to gently pull in these muscles without tightening the upper abdominal muscles. This type of exercise then becomes incorporated with activities of daily living so that it becomes an unconscious action involved in posture. Before you start on an exercise program ensure you get a full assessment of your problem, as instability or weak muscles may not necessarily be the cause of your problem. Your posture and spinal range need to be assessed. The lower abdominal muscles need to be tested in specific positions to see how strong they are. You will need an individually planned exercise program incorporating both strength exercises and stretches. On top of all that you need to stick with your exercise program as initially, progress can be slow. The longer the problem has been, the slower the rehabilitation can be. But persist. With a good physiotherapist, your pain can be managed

Posture is the position in which you hold your body upright against gravity while standing, sitting or laying down. Good posture helps to minimise the amount of strain imposed on our muscles, joints and ligaments whilst performing our daily activities. Proper posture: 1. Minimises muscle strain by keeping bones and joints in optimal alignment. 2. Decreases the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces caused by overload and overstrain. 3. Minimises ligamentous strain on the joints of the spine and posture loaded joints. 4. Minimises fatigue due to more efficient use of muscles, allowing the body to use less energy. 5. Helps prevents backache and muscular pain. 6. Contributes to a more positive and assertive appearance. Proper posture requirements: Good muscle and joint flexibility Strong postural muscles

12. Balanced muscle tone on both sides of the spine An understanding of what constitutes good posture which leads to conscious correction. With practice, the correct posture for standing, sitting, and lying down will gradually replace your old posture. What is the correct way to stand? Most people when asked to stand with good posture immediately stand tall, arching their spine and pulling their shoulders back. It looks uncomfortable and is a far cry from a healthy standing posture. Keep it simple – try using PUPPET POSTURE! Puppet posture is a term I have used to simplify the process of assuming the correct posture. It works especially well with children as they can identify easily. Imagine that you are a puppet (well try to at least!) with a string coming out of the top of your head. Gently lift the imaginary string upwards to straighten your spine. Your arms and shoulders will assume the best posture they can for your current spinal function. Watch yourself in the mirror to visualise what you are achieving. Practice regularly, it gets easier as your spine and muscles gain strength. Sleeping Posture It is preferable to sleep on your back or side only. Sleeping on your stomach may cause lower back and neck strain. Use a quality contoured pillow that provides adequate support to your head and

13. contoured pillow that provides adequate support to your head and neck while sleeping. When arising from bed, move to the side of the bed and push yourself up sideways while swinging your legs off the side. When your back is painful you may place a pillow under your knees (when on your back) or between your knees (when on your side). #neck and head physiotherapy in mandurah #Neck and Head Physiotherapy in Perth #Physiotherapy for Tradies in Perth #Physiotherapist Armadale in Perth #Physiotherapist Armadale in Mandurah #Sports Physiotherapy Mandurah #Physiotherapist Armadale Mandurah #Physiotherapy for Knee Osteoarthritis in Mandurah #Physiotherapisy Mandurah #Knee Joint Pain Relief in Perth #Lower Back Pain in Mandurah #Massage Service in Mandurah #Physiotherapy for Back Pain Relief in Mandurah #Physiotherapy Treatment in Mandurah #Physiotherapy Treatment Mandura #Knee Pain Physiotherapy Mandurah #Physiotherapist in Perth #Physiotherapy Back Pain Treatment Mandurah #Neck and Head Physiotherapy #Mandurah Physio #Mandurah Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation #Physiotherapy for Tradies in Mandurah #Physiotherapist Armadale #Mandurah Physiotherapy #Physiotherapisy #deep tissue massage near me #knee joint pain relief #lower back pain    Try Shockwave therapy for chronic pain and a faster recovery We now have shockwave available for all those stubborn soft tissue problems such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and muscle soreness.

Sports & Exercise Suggestions For The Application Of Ice And Heat Physiotherapy treatment Ice is an effective and natural pain killer and anti-inflammatory. Ice should be applied over the inflamed area in the acute or early stages of your problem. Whenever you experience swelling, redness or sharp / stabbing pain it is generally considered best to apply ice. Repeat until symptoms ease – usually for 24 – 48 hours. Following this, you should alternate with ice and heat. If in doubt, contact your Physiotherapist. Heat may be more applicable for chronic conditions to alleviate pain and restriction. APPLICATION of heat and ice Place ice cubes in a plastic bag or use a professionally prepared ice pack. Place a damp face washer or tea towel over the problem area then place the ice pack on the material covering. The first application should be as follows:- 10 minutes on 10 minutes off 10 minutes on 10 minutes off 10 minutes on

18. Then during waking hours, apply the ice pack every 2 hours, or as indicated by your Physiotherapist. As the inflammation reduces, it is often beneficial to apply heat between ice. 10 minutes on ICE 10 minutes on HEAT 10 minutes on ICE 10 minutes on HEAT 10 minutes on ICE 10 minutes on HEAT Heat is an effective therapy for reducing muscular tension and pain and is best used AFTER the initial inflammation has subsided.

So take it gently! You may also have increased pain due to your body not being used to the new exercises. Make sure you drink plenty of water and rest after your first session. This should improve after the first few sessions. Hydrotherapy can be done under supervision or independently, once confident and safe in the pool. Please ensure you dry yourself off once getting out of the pool, before heading to the showers or home. This avoids getting water on the floors. We thank you for your assistance.

Sprained thumbs ( Physiotherapy in Grange) are fairly common with a range of specific sports such as skiing. The reason for this is because during a fall the ski pole is between thumb and fingers. Any sport where the hand is stretched out on a fall can create damage to most commonly, the inner ligament of the middle thumb joint. Like any soft tissue injury the RICE procedure should be followed immediately after injury and for 24 to 48 hours post injury. This consists of Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Thumbs or injuries of the hand can be slow healing due to the complexity of the structures and because rest of this area can be difficult. These injuries may take up to 6 –12 months to heal properly. However thumbs and fingers respond well to strapping or bracing which can
