Whether you're a serious athlete or a hit-the-gym-twice-a-weeker, regular chiropractic care can make a massive difference to your performance, reducing aches and pains, and of course, helping you achieve those all important gains 💪🏼

How so?

- It supports your alignment and flexibility 🧘‍♂️
Chiropractic adjustments work to align your spine and joints. When your body is in proper alignment, your range of motion improves, allowing you to move more freely and with reduced pain - making whatever goal you're chasing, that bit easier to attain.

- Injury Prevention 🤕
A chiro can identify imbalances and weaknesses in the body, often which lead to injuries. By addressing these concerns through targeted adjustments, muscle work, and exercises, we essentially build a fortress of prevention within the body.

- Faster Recovery Time ⏳
Chiropractic care aids in accelerating your body's natural healing processes. By reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and promoting efficient nerve communication, your downtime between workouts gets shorter (and those pesky DOMS should ease too).

Sounds like a dream, right? Book an appointment with Dr Wayne today, and let's get those training sessions working for you even more!

Men's Health Week with Dr Wayne

18/06/2020

Men’s Health Week 2020 We typically find many men put off and delay seeking help and doing something to resolve unwanted and annoying health issues. Sound like YOU or YOUR MAN ? There are a number of common health issues men delay doing anything about including
* Mental Health
* S*xual Issues
* Hormones
* Sleep
* Spinal and Muscular issues.

This men’s week why not commit to making an appointment with someone and take action to get to the bottom of that ongoing recurring issue.
We are here to help and whilst we may not be the solution ourselves, we have a great network of health professionals that may be able to help.
Dr Wayne has 25 years clinical experience and is providing the opportunity for men who’ve been procrastinating too long with regards to their health issues- particularly spinal and musculoskeletal problems.

Did you know that our adrenal glands are responsible for some of the production of our s*x hormones?

Hence, if we're affected by chronic stress our s*x hormones become affected too, and as a result we face issues with things like libido, man b***s and fertility.

Listen in as Dr Wayne breaks down this link and provides some simple tips for things you can do to help improve the production of your s*x hormones.

For a limited time we are also offering our Hormone Assessment and Review for only $85. Send us a message to find out more.

When it comes to the body's natural production and management of cortisol, there are two key things we can do to help stabilise it - and they both conincide with our morning routine.

Watch our latest video as Dr Wayne explains the importance of breakfast - including what you should be having - and provides his advice around the best time to be consuming your morning coffee.

14/05/2020

Waking at 3am? Crashing mid-morning? How to tell if your cortisol is out of whack...

As human beings we need cortisol to survive as stress is a normal factor of life. That said, often our bodies can't tell the difference between "run for your life" stress and "I'm running late for an appointment" stress. As a result our cortisol levels can get quickly out of whack leading to what's known as a HPA Axis Imbalance whereby we begin to have an abnormal response to stress.

Watch as Dr Wayne explains this notion in more detail, and provides cues on how to tell if you're out of balance as well as recommendations for what you can do to get things back where they should be.

Please share this around as we are here to help those in need

In times of stress our musculo-skeletal system often takes a hit leading to headaches, backaches and neck pain.

Fortunately, chiropractic care is an effective treatment option to help mitigate symptoms of stress and give back to our bodies, especially in these difficult times.

To help anyone affected by stress receive the care that they need, and to also help our wider community of patients, we are implementing a PAY IT FORWARD system.

Come in for an initial consultation with Dr Wayne for only $40 (usually $135 for new patients). We will then use this $40 to cover the cost of an adjustment for any patients in need of care who can no longer afford treatment due to COVID-19.

Spread this message with your friends, family and colleagues and lets all work together to look after one another during this time 💕

Contact us on (08) 6150 8323 or email hello@thewellnessstudio.info for more details and to book.

With all that's going on at the moment, we wanted to check in and provide some simple wellness tips that you can follow to help to keep your immune system functioning optimally 👊

Our key piece of advice is to focus on what you can control, in particular what you put into your mind and what you put into your body. Think positive and really nourish from the inside out 🥝

As far as adjustments go, we're still business as usual and we really encourage you to keep up with your chiropractic care. Regular adjustments increase our parasympathetic nerve system, which controls immunity 🙌

Stay well, take care of yourselves and we look forward to seeing you in studio soon 🌿

Please have a read of this Article to shed light on
Coronavirus (COVID-19) - What is known so far…

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is spread from person to person by close contact, via droplets from an infected person’s body fluid such as saliva or mucus. Person-to-person infections are also believed to occur from dispersed particles in the air or on surfaces that have come in contact with infected individuals through coughing and or sneezing. The spread of the infection is similar to other respiratory illnesses including the flu and although the level of immunity is currently unclear, persons with a compromised immune system or aged individuals have a significantly increased susceptibility and are at increased risk of infection with a flu-like virus that can be fatal.

To self-protect from the virus, hygiene practices are imperative such as washing your hands thoroughly and covering your face with an effective mask if coughing and sneezing. Whilst physically protecting yourself from transmission is crucial, consumption of vitamin C, Lactoferrin and Zinc will actively strengthen immunity and natural defences against the virus.

Currently there are two dozen studies registered on clinicaltrials.gov, these studies aim to test multiple different remedies including Vitamin C that re investigating a possible positive response (link is below).

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT04264533

Vitamin C and it’s role in Immunity

Vitamin C supports various cellular functions by reducing inflammation in turn boosting the immune system [1][2][3]
Vitamin C has crucial influence in the production of the anti-viral immune response during the early phase of viral infection through the production of type I interferons, which up-regulate Natural killer (NK) cell activity [1][6][7]
Vitamin C supports the production of interferons, necessary for cells to initiate protective defences [
Vitamin C supports the production of large quantities of nitrogen oxide by phagocytes, necessary to capture and neutralize pathogens [2][7]
Vitamin C enhances the production of T lymphocytes, necessary for cell mediated immune responses [1][6][7]
Vitamin C increases the production of B lymphocytes, crucial for the early phase response to infective pathogens.[7][10]
Vitamin C deficiency may result in a weakened immune system with a higher risk of infection[1]
Findings have indicated that ascorbic acid can be used as an inactivating agent for both RNA and DNA viruses, lessening viral infectivity[7]
Zinc and it’s role in Immunity
Zinc deficiency has been shown associated with impaired cellular mediators of the innate immune system such as phagocytosis and natural killer cell activity [1]
B cells and T cells depend on zinc for proliferation, zinc deficiency will reduce antibody-mediated immune defense[5]
Increased intracellular zinc impairs replication of a number of RNA viruses by interfering with viral polyprotein processing [12]
Lactoferrin and it’s role in Immunity (Anti-Viral activity)
Lactoferrin displays antiviral activity against both DNA and RNA viruses, and similarly to vitamin C the antiviral effects lie in the early phase of infection [6][13]
Lactoferrin binds to the hosts surface cell receptors inhibiting viral pathogens from entering the cell. By competitive inhibition lactoferrin can reduce endocytosis of micro-organism entry into host cells, where they can evade the immune system [14]
Lactoferrin contributes to the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and type 1 interferons.[13][14]
In the presence of viruses, Lactoferrin can increase phagocytic activity of macrophages. These cell types play an important role during the early phases of viral infection, before the specific immune system is upregulated and takes over the antiviral response [8][13]
lactoferrin encourages gut-associated immune functions by production of interleukin-18, type I interferons and increased natural killer cell activity.[8][11]
Lactoferrin promotes maturation of T lymphocytes… and under different host conditions promotion of either Th1 (pro-inflammatory) or Th2 (anti-inflammatory) cytokine profiles occur[11]

12 Days of Christmas Wellness tips. Let’s face it Christmas time can most often bring the worst and best out of us.
Here’s tip #1 to maintain health and balance the festive season.
#1 STRESS REDUCTION. Planning, some organisation can help to reduce stress and take some pressure off. Delegate when possible, write a to do list,( Dr Wayne’s favourite)prioritise and make your time valuable. Decide what is ACTUALLY necessary and what is really important.
Take a mini timeout and BREATHE 7secs in 11secs out. Reset that parasympathetic nerve system if you feel the stress levels rising.
No one wants extra unnecessary stress at Christmas.
