Dear Visitor | ||
We hope you had a wonderful Easter and the Easter Bunny was good to you. There is never a boring moment at Physiologix. Physio and massage remained open during the lockdown and pilates went online for the week. A huge thank you for all of your support in continuing with your appointments as normal and good on those of you that kept the exercise going online - our online Pilates classes got great feedback from everyone so we are glad you enjoyed them. Most importantly we are proud to have helped to keep you moving throughout yet another lockdown. Our GLAD hip and knee Osteoarthritis course kicks off next week - we have one space left so if you are interested please get in touch asap Sadly this month we say farewell to two incredible staff. Megan Hunter, Physiotherapist will be leaving at the end of April and Peter Travers, Remdial Massage therapist finshes this week. Be quick to book in if you would like to see them before they leave as they both only have a few appointments left. You can book online or call us on 07 3511 1112. We wish them all the very best for the future - we will miss them both. Tessa Funk, dietician, has started on a Monday afternoon/evening. We are extremely excited to have Tessa join the team. Read more about Tessa and how she can help in our article below. Check out our other article this month all about heel pain (see below), an area that many people suffer from but is often poorly treated. The Physios at Physiologix have extensive experience in this area due to a heavy involvement with sport, but also with the foot research trials they have been part of with UQ. Lastly we are excited to be a sponsor for the GAP DRAGONS, a small local AFL club for junior players. Volunteer run, this small group are pasionate to the tee in keeping the youngsters of today fit and healthy in a fun, team environment. We are delighted to again support this great club. |

Exercise of the Month |
||
![]() |
Bow and Arrow Stretch This is a great stretching and mobilising exercise which does a lot of things at once. It gets the thoracic spine moving, (the mid back) helping to take stress and starin away from the neck and lower back. It stretches the front of the chest and trunk, and helps to get the ribs moving and breathing control better....all of which can help a multitude of issues. Never push into pain doing this exercise. Keep your hips and knees bent up to 90 degrees, keep your palms together and pull your top arm back like you are drawing a bow to fire an arrow. To add further stretch open the arm back onto the ground behind you. Hold for 3 breaths and return - repeat 6-8 times. |
