When it comes to incontinence, the pelvic floor plays a key role in supporting your body and managing these conditions. 💪🏼🩺

The pelvic floor is a set of muscles located in your pelvis, connecting from your p***c bone at the front to your coccyx at the back, and extending across your pelvis between your sit bones. 🦵💡

For issues like urinary and bowel incontinence or prolapse, physiotherapy often targets the pelvic floor as a primary area of treatment. These conditions can affect both pre and postnatal individuals. 🤰🏼👶🏼

The pelvic floor muscles are unique in that they can contract and relax, much like any other muscle, but the challenge is that they’re internal and not visible, making them harder to assess and manage on your own. 🔍🧘🏼‍♀️

If you’re experiencing incontinence, a physiotherapist can help guide you through exercises to strengthen and relax these important muscles, improving function and comfort. 🌟💆‍♀️

🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♀️ Tips to Relieve Shoulder & Neck Pain from Surfing!
We've talked about the causes of shoulder and neck pain from surfing, now let's share some exercises to help ease the discomfort and get you back in the waves feeling great!

I recommend doing both of these stretches after every surf session, or even before if you're feeling sore. Hold each stretch for 3 seconds, trying to move deeper into the stretch, and repeat at least 5 times. Your body might even ask for them a few times during the day, so listen to it!

For the best advice and a personalised approach to help your neck or shoulder, book online through our website or give us a call today!

Backpacks!

It's nearly that time of year again, when your children are another year older, another year bigger and going back to school!

As they go into the next grade, the work load increases, along with the physical weight of books in their backpacks.

Carrying a school backpack on one shoulder can no longer be done, especially for high school students with those extremely heavy (and expensive) textbooks.

Your child may not look like it, but wearing a backpack correctly will aid their growing body by distributing the weight evenly across both shoulders, preventing muscular and skeletal issues later in life.

How Physio Can Help with Diabetes!

A physiotherapist can assist patients with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes by emphasizing the importance of diet and exercise, which are the cornerstones of diabetes management.

Your physio will evaluate the overall state of your health, and work with you to design an exercise regime to target your specific healthcare needs.

Exercise plays a vital role in managing blood glucose levels by helping your cells use more glucose and improving the effectiveness of insulin.

It also addresses complicating factors associated with diabetes by promoting a healthy body weight, regulating cholesterol levels, and lowering blood pressure. These benefits collectively reduce the risk of heart disease.

If you would like more information in regards to physiotherapy and diabetes management, contact us at Your Health Physio on 03 5297 2800.

💪 Kickstart 2025 with the Perfect Workout Buddy! 🏋️‍♀️

The New Year often brings resolutions—and for many, that means hitting the gym! Struggling to stay motivated? A workout buddy could be the game-changer you need. 🙌

Here are 5 key traits to look for in your ideal training partner:
1️⃣ Be a Member of the Same Gym
Shared gym access makes scheduling seamless. If you prefer outdoor workouts, this won’t be a concern, but don’t overlook convenience—location plays a big role in sticking to your routine!

2️⃣ Compatible Schedules
Find someone whose workout times align with yours. Morning, evening, or late-night sessions are easier to commit to when you're both on the same page.

3️⃣ Similar Goals
A shared fitness goal can fuel motivation and create a fun, competitive dynamic. Whether it’s building strength, running a marathon, or just staying active, being on the same path makes all the difference!

4️⃣ Matching Fitness Levels
Choose a buddy with a similar fitness level. This keeps your workouts balanced and ensures you're both challenged and progressing together.

5️⃣ Aligned Workout Intensity
Having the same intensity level helps you push each other while staying in sync. A workout buddy can bring out your best effort and make every session count!

Make 2025 your strongest year yet—one rep at a time! Who’s your ideal workout buddy? Tag them below! 🏋️‍♂️💪

Our Story

Since grade 5 I had always wanted to be a physio. I sprained my ankle playing sport and was shattered. I saw the Essendon Football Club physio who helped me return to doing what I loved - playing sport.

Today at Your Health Physio, we aim to achieve what my physio did for me - help my clients get back to doing what they love, as soon as possible.

Our treatments are based on the same principles we use in high level sport - precise diagnosis, clear explanations and effective treatment.

I really love helping people to fully understand their condition and to take control of their pain. It’s such a good feeling to see people break free of their limitations, knowing that I was able to play a role in that.
