Have you been wondering if you should exercise more?

You hear a lot about the benefits for overall fitness, weight management and energy levels, but there are a few benefits you might not know about.

Exercise can help to...

💪 Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes
💪 Lower your blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke
💪 Improve your sleep quality, which helps to heal and restore your body as well as making you feel refreshed

Are you beginning a new exercise routine or activity? Make sure your not nursing an injury before taking up a new activity.

each of your fingers is made up of three bones, except for the thumb which only has two ✌🏼

Whilst each thumb has a distal and proximal phalange, the fingers also have a middle phalange which is, you guessed it, in the middle of the other two! An easy way to see these is by bending your fingers and thumbs! 🦴🖐🏼

And.. if your anything like my husband - he's trying his best to fracture all of them!

Stress fractures are usually caused by overuse or repetitive activity, and often occur when people make sudden changes, like taking up running or increasing the intensity of their workout.

The most common area for stress fractures are the bones in the foot (metatarsals) as they absorb so much repetitive force during walking and running.

Rather than a full break, a stress fracture is a small crack or severe bruising within the bone. It can still cause a great deal of pain, though, especially during activities.

Who’s experienced a stress fracture themselves?

May’s word of the month is Inflammation.

Inflammation is part of your body’s natural healing process. When you sustain an injury, the immune system sends white blood cells to defend and protect the area, which causes swelling (& inflammation).

Although it is your body’s way of helping the problem, it’s still painful!
And it’s a sign that something’s not right, so you need to get it checked out.

Noticing inflammation? Give us a call on 9982 - 6555 and let us know., or book online www.thatphysio.com.au

We may get you to come in straight away, or wait until it settles naturally – so it’s always good to check with a professional 🙌🏼
