Gift-wrapping season is officially here!
But while you’re knee-deep in paper, ribbon and tape, don’t forget about your posture 👀✨
Whether you’re wrapping on the floor, at the table or in a holiday rush, keep your back happy by:
✔️ Sitting or standing tall
✔️ Bringing gifts up to you (not hunching down)
✔️ Taking quick stretch breaks
✔️ Switching positions to avoid strain
Your spine deserves a present too! 😉💝

Pain isn’t always what it seems. While it often signals injury, chronic pain can also arise when the nervous system becomes oversensitive, sending amplified alerts even when tissues are healthy ⚡.
Imagine your body’s warning system as a microphone turned up too high — normal signals suddenly feel loud and urgent.
Physiotherapists help patients understand these signals, working to retrain the nervous system, improve movement and restore confidence in the body. By addressing both the “hardware” (muscles, joints, tissues) and the “software” (nervous system messaging), physiotherapy supports lasting relief and function.
Have you ever felt pain that didn’t seem linked to an injury? Give us a call on 9729 7777 to explore how physiotherapy may help tune the system back down.

🎄🛍️ Christmas shopping season is here — but don’t let it cost you an injury!
Long walks through crowded shopping centres, heavy bags, and awkward lifts can put stress on your muscles and joints. Here’s how to stay safe while ticking off your gift list:
💡 Tips to prevent injuries:
- Warm up your muscles: A short stretch before heading out can help prevent strains.
- Wear supportive shoes: Comfortable, stable footwear protects your feet, knees, and back.
- Pack smart: Use a backpack or crossbody bag to distribute weight evenly.
- Lift safely: Bend your knees, not your back, when picking up heavy gifts.
- Take breaks: Listen to your body — rest when needed and stay hydrated.
Make this Christmas merry and safe — your body will thank you!
🎁 Need a quick tune-up before the shopping rush? Book a Physio session with us and go into the holidays feeling your best.

Word of the Day: Joint 🦵
Historically, “joint” described any point of connection — whether in carpentry, conversation, or anatomy. In physiology, it refers to the meeting place between two or more bones — the marvel of mechanics that makes movement possible.
There are three main types:
- Fibrous joints (immovable, like the skull)
- cartilaginous joints (slightly moveable, like the spine)
- synovial joints (freely moveable, like the knee or shoulder)
Physiotherapists focus on keeping these joints strong, stable, and supple — ensuring that every connection in your body moves in harmony.

Painkillers have their place — they can offer much-needed relief when pain flares, helping you rest, recover, and keep moving. And anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen go a step further by calming swelling and irritation, helping the body settle while tissues heal.
But while pain killers can soothe symptoms if discomfort keeps recurring, it’s time to get to the deep tissue of the issue. Physiotherapy works on the source. Through movement-based therapy, your physio looks at how your body moves — identifying stiffness, weakness, or imbalance that may be feeding your pain. With the right exercises and hands-on care, physiotherapy helps retrain movement, improve tissue health, and support long-term recovery.
Think of it this way: painkillers turn down the volume, physiotherapy retunes the instrument. Together, they make a smart team for comfort and lasting change.
Need help finding the balance between rest, relief, and rehab? Call us at Physio Elements on 9729 7777
And a friendly reminder to always consult your doctor before taking any medication!
