The Reform Lab Osteopathy, 181-183 Wellington Road, East Brisbane (2025)

27/11/2025

The .runclub gets people together and gets them better!

These results are from a 12 week program of strength & conditioning.

The program is individualised to the athletes MAS (maximum aerobic speed) to get the best out of them. The results speak for themselves.

All strength and conditioning sessions are tracked through an app. Videos are all attached on how to complete each exercise. Getting fitter, faster and a stronger is easy! It just requires a good plan and a commitment from the individual.

Well done to our strength and conditioning client on these results 👏👏

For as little as $15 a week, this program could be yours. Or save $30 and pay up front ($150).

MISCONCEPTION MONDAYS EPISODE 37 - BED REST IS BEST FOR ACUTE LOW BACK PAIN?

Rest is rarely recommended and advised post any injury. It needs to be within reason (speak to your health professional).

Bed rest in particular is one of the WORST things we can do post acute lower back injury!

Research shows that bed rest prolongs recovery. Also in older adults, bed rest can increase joint stiffness, increase muscle wasting, reduce bone mineral density, and potentially cause blood clots in certain populations.

The best thing you can do post acute low back injury is to get active and stay active!

Rest often increases protective muscle guarding and falsely rewards the nervous system to guard against movement once movement occurs! This is not good, and is why recovery is delayed.

Movement within pain tolerance, rewards the nervous system by telling it that the injury is likely not that bad. It helps reduce muscle guarding and promotes recovery.

As always get a qualified evidenced based osteo/coach to help you with your training. If you want to be reformed in the lab, I’m here to help 🤝

MISCONCEPTION MONDAYS EPISODE 36 - OLDER ADULTS SHOULD AVOID BENDING/LIFTING?

Just listen to the video for this one. You might hear the passion in my voice on this very silly misconception!

Train like an athlete, no matter how old you are and how many injuries you have had or currently have.

To do this you need to see a qualified osteopath, physio or exercise physiologist. But not just any typical practitioner from the above. You need one who has access to train you in a gym. Is also able to coach you throughout confidently and is an expert in strength and conditioning.

This is us! We will get you in ‘The Lab’ and make you the best version of you that you can be!

MISCONCEPTION MONDAYS EPISODE 35 - BACK PAIN IN OLDER ADULTS NEEDS A SCAN TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS?

In most cases for all adults, imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI) is not advised unless red flag symptoms or signs are present. Last week I told you that less than 5% of back pain cases are due to a serious condition. So we are rarely getting scans as they provide minimal benefit to recovery for the majority of back pain cases.

Furthermore, a good practitioner looks and assesses you holistically (osteopathy approach) and educates you on other factors that are contributing to the back pain experience. Sleep, stress, lack of exercise, fear on movement etc.

Why we don’t order scans:
1. Scans don’t tell us why the individual is in pain (rarely can identify a potential source as pain is multifactorial).
2. Abnormal findings or “pathological” findings are very common in asymptomatic people - especially as we age.
3. The degree of structural abnormality (if person is symptomatic) does not correlate with the severity of symptoms.
4. Does not change our management if low back pain is considered to not be from a rare serious cause. We would treat the same and have the same prognosis.
5. Normal variants or asymptomatic findings can often result in more expensive pointless tests.
6. The report of the findings can trigger stress, fear, and anxiety in the individual which actually can worsen pain/recovery. Also remember that these findings are largely asymptomatic or normal variants.

I hope this misconception helps you reduce your fear on needing a scan. As you can see, you more than likely do not. Listen to your osteo, do your rehab, sleep well, stress less and you’ll kick goals.

MISCONCEPTION MONDAYS EPISODE 34 - BACK PAIN IN OLDER ADULTS IS DUE TO SOMETHING SERIOUS?

Back pain, in particular low back pain is very common and has a high prevalence. As we age, acute onset of new low back pain is often seen as a red flag. However, only 5% of all cases is due to a serious cause (cancer, fracture, infection).

So we have 95% confidence that your back pain is not serious, and is likely due to a nonspecific multifaceted cause.

How do you know it’s not serious? Speak to your osteo or physio. They will tell you what is likely contributing to the pain and how to resolve it.
