“This is Birth” was the theme of Birth Trauma Awareness Week 2025 to reflect that every birth is different.

When women are asked to describe their birth there are many words that are used. Joyous, distressing, amazing, out of control, well-supported, painful, empowering, traumatic – it can be all those things and more.

At Total Physiotherapy, our recent trauma informed care training has confirmed our approach to listen without judgement, respect and allow space to support women through their childbearing year no matter how that has evolved.

You can book online https://www.totalphysiomv.com/book-online or call 9907 0321.

This week is national diabetes week

Did you know that exercise plays a crucial role in managing diabetes.

Regular physical activity helps to lower blood glucose levels by increasing your insulin sensitivity, allowing your body to use insulin more effectively.

Here at Total Physiotherapy in Manly Vale we offer 1 hour exercise classes specifically designed for people with diabetes to assist with the management and control of their blood sugars.

And if you are a type 2 diabetic, Medicare will help to subsidise the cost of up to 8 classes per year for you.

🧠 Let’s talk about concussions.

They are not just “a knock to the head” — concussions are a type of brain injury, and they can have lasting effects if not properly managed.

Whether it happens on the sports field, from a fall, or during everyday life, recognising the signs early is key, some symptoms may take hours or days to appear.

⚠️ Headache
⚠️ Dizziness
⚠️ Nausea or vomiting
⚠️ Sensitivity to light or noise
⚠️ Trouble concentrating or remembering things
⚠️ Feeling “off” or not quite right

A structured recovery plan, and gradual return to activity are crucial, and that’s where we come in.

We’ve just published a new blog all about concussion signs, recovery, and how physio can support your return to school, work or sport — safely.

Please contact us if you're concerned after any kind of head knock. You can book in online, find us on the Hot Doc app or give us a call on 02 9907 0321

Most people recover fully from a concussion, but some may experience prolonged symptoms. Early intervention and proper management are key to a full recovery. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in the rehabilitation process, helping patients return to their daily activities safely and effectively.

Sitting at a desk all day or scrolling on your phone for hours can put a strain on your neck and lead to headaches.

Postural-related headaches, also known as cervicogenic headaches, often stem from muscle tension and poor posture affecting the upper cervical spine.

🔍 Common signs:
Pain starting in the neck and radiating to the head
Headache triggered by certain neck movements
Stiffness in the neck

Physio can help relieve these headaches by improving posture, reducing muscle tension, and restoring proper neck movement!

👩‍⚕️ How we can help:
Hands-on techniques to ease tension
Postural correction exercises
Strengthening your neck and upper back muscles

Ready to take the weight off your shoulders—literally?
