STUDY TIP: Maintain a balanced and nutritious diet.

Although high GI foods and drinks will give you a temporary sugar high, you will feel drowsy and have trouble concentrating as your blood glucose levels fall.

STUDY TIP: Maintain a regular exercise routine. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃

Research has shown that as little as 15-20 minutes of aerobic exercise improves memory and concentration.

Aerobic exercise and physical fitness appear to be important factors for the developing teenage brain (Herting & Chu 2017).

Avoid headaches and bad posture with this STUDY TIP!

Regularly correct your posture.

It’s normal to slouch with prolonged sitting or standing as the postural muscles fatigue after about 20-25 minutes.

If sitting, tilt your pelvis to hollow your back slightly, lift the top of your chest then tuck your chin in to straighten your spine.

Hold this position for 10 seconds, relax 10% then keep studying!

STUDY TIP: Take regular breaks.

If a long session is planned we recommend a 10 minute break for every hour of studying.

Set a timer for 50 minutes then once it goes off re-set for 10 minutes and don’t return to study until the 10 minutes is up.

It is amazing how much you will get done in 50 minutes and the 10 minute break will refresh you and help clarify your thoughts.

STUDY TIP to avoid back pain and headaches! 📖

Make sure that your study set-up is as ergonomic as possible. Avoid studying propped up in bed or with computer/tablet on your lap or on a coffee table.

Ideally your chair should be adjustable in terms of seat height and tilt and backrest height and tilt.

Your thighs and back should feel supported and your feet should rest flat on the floor or on a footstool if required.

We have just had a fantastic few days at the Australian Physiotherapy Conference where Ken was privileged to be a keynote speaker. Ken presented on headaches and the expertise of the Physiotherapist to assess, diagnose and treat different types of headaches, including neck headaches and migraines. It was a great few days of learning and catching up with colleagues from all over Australia.
