Janie has been away in the US learning a heap of new stuff - more of which later - and one of the things they discussed was the essential symbiotic relationship of the respiratory diaphragm and the pelvic floor (also considered a diaphragm in some contexts). These largely muscular structures work as a team to coordinated efficient respiration and postural control of the trunk. Our latest blog highlights this relationship: www.milkwood.net.au/articles
Stay tuned for our next blog exploring the role of the diaphragm in more detail..

Blue sky in the Grand Canyon, how good does it look! Janie's near the end of her USA adventures and were ready to have her back now 😊 Might be a shock coming back to this bleak weather!

Did you know forward head posture can contribute to, or even be the primary cause of, tennis elbow? Look how these postural muscles of the neck are under strain, causing them to become tightened, overloaded and inflamed. The nerves that supply the arm run next to and in some cases through these muscles. You can imagine how this, combined with altered mechanics of the arm and shoulder girdle, might impact loads at the elbow and forearm.

Dem bones!
We know we bang on about bones a lot, and that's because we're passionate about bone health at Milkwood. Many of our ageing clients are working hard on their balance to minimise the risk of falls, but falls can and do happen to people of all ages and fitness levels.
Bone density is impacted by many factors, including diet, medications, hormones and activity levels. Research shows that active people have higher bone density on the whole than sedentary people. So, please look after dem bones.. It's yet another reason to keep exercising! 🦴💪🏼🦴

Dem bones! We know we bang on about bones a lot, but that's because we're passionate about bone health. Many of our ageing clients work hard at class to improve their balance, and certainly falls prevention is a key theme in some of our clients' movement goals, but falls inevitably happen to people of all ages at one time or another. So, when you do fall, you want your bones to be strong enough to withstand the impact! Age is not the only factor to affect bone density. Diet, exercise levels, long-term steroid use, hormones and other medications can all influence our bone density. It's well-documented that active people have stronger bones on the whole than sedentary people. So whether it's Pilates, walking/running, a gym class or whatever else takes your fancy, bone health is just another reason to keep moving. Please look after dem bones ☺️💪🏼☠️🚶🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️🦴

Classes not for you? Why not work privately with one of our physios? We focus solely on your technique, movement goals and any areas of weakness or tightness we might find as we go. You can move over to a group session down the track if it takes your fancy, or keep working 1:1 as long as you like.

Ever feel a bit like a number when seeing a health professional? You wait 20 or so minutes for a 5 minute consult, during which you get the feeling the practitioner has already decided how they can help you, before even asking a question?
At Milkwood, we believe it takes time to really hear your story, conduct a thorough assessment, and work out what YOUR ideal outcome is. That's why we have longer consult times, allowing us to spend the time you deserve without running behind. Your time is just as important as ours.

How does stress affect pain?
Have you ever had a sore back or neck you couldn't budge, only to have it disappear when you went on holidays? Stress absolutely affects the way you feel pain, and it has to do with physiology, not just mindset.

Are you feeling like it hurts literally everywhere? If you are experiencing dull, widespread pain that doesn't seem to relate to a particular posture or activity, there may be other body systems feeding into your pain. The effects of stress, nutrition, hormones and fatigue can have a significant influence on how you feel pain. If you're a woman over 40, it may be a sign to get your hormone levels checked. If your stress levels are high, your body may be trying to tell you to take a breath and reassess some things in your life. Perhaps you're not getting enough sleep, or you have a food intolerance you're not aware of? Is it time to see a naturopath?
At Milkwood, we can help you work out what might be causing your pain and, if it's not solely musculoskeletal, we can refer you to the appropriate health professional(s) to get you back on track.
Book now for a thorough, holistic assessment with expert physiotherapists who consider the whole body.
