The Vitrivian Man represents a perfect human body connected to the world and to the divine. If you are feeling less than perfect maybe we can help you get your body connected.

This beautiful butterfly has transparent wings and is an example of a finely balanced piece of engineering.
If your finely balanced piece of engineering feels in need of a bit of a tune up, we would be happy to see you at Bernard McGowan at Hip Sport Spine.

The view is from the side of Mt Wellington looking out over Hobart. and you would not know the top of the mountain was snowy with blizzardy winds. The second photo from Mt Wellington on the same day shows some snow by the roadside melting to form a little river.
Taking one view can be misleading so it pays to take in the whole picture. Like you can get at Parkside Physiotherapy - Now Bernard McGowan at Hip Sport Spine.

Amazing what a bit of tape will do. This is simply the best technique of ankle tape I have found with a pull back on the outside of the ankle (distal tibiofibular joint) and then wrapping around the lower leg; it is great for ankle sprains and for return to sport, and for preventing injury. Let me know if you want me to teach it to you through feedback here or phoning 4573 4330 for Bernard McGowan at Hip Sort Spine.

New year, new life. For me a new place to work, not home as pictured though you never know, but Hip Sport Spine Physiotherapy with Lesley Goff and the team at 138 Mort Street.
For the new year we now have a new stage of living with Covid but there is the hope and expectation of an end in sight. Hands on treatment is business as usual in the new normal, and Telehealth is just a phone call away.
So best wishes for the new year belatedly. It has been busy with the move so I won’t start thinking about any new year resolutions until February. And thanks to all patients over the years at Margaret St, work colleagues and friends. Best wishes for the new year to all and for new beginnings at HSS. Bernard

There are some special places around Toowoomba and in these COVID times it has been good to discover these places close to home. Perhaps you have found your own special place during this time?
At Parkside Physio we are back to full operation with appropriate safety measures in places. If the need arises, aches and pains or desire to improve function, we would be happy to see you face to face (or at least mask to mask). Book through parksidephysio.com.au or ring 46326233

It never rains but it pours. We have just had the devastation of the drought and bushfires, and Sabine has had a fund raiser for that at Parkside. Now we have the heavy rain and floods in our region. We are thankful for the rain but now something in between would be good.
It can be like that with physiotherapy management. We have to find out the right amount of the right exercise/hands on treatment/dry needling/tape/activity or workplace guidelines, so not too much or too little but just right. We are happy to help you move well and stay well where we can.
Meanwhile I have to buy a new umbrella and mow the grass again.

I have been asked if pram running tended to cause injuries. The research I did suggests running with a pram does adversely alter running technique but was still okay. Differences included limited breathing due to the hand placement on the pram. Style of running was altered due to not swinging the arms freely and that the body was inclined forward than usual. To conclude if you have to run with a pram, run with the best technique you can in good posture, and start gradually.

Christmas tends to involve a lot of travelling. After all the wise men came from afar. Tips for travellers driving still apply today:
regularly sit up straight in the chair
get out of the car and walk around for 5 minutes every 2 hours
reverse the curve - bend backwards after siting
warm up before lifting the heavy presents out of the boot
- and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Parkside Physiotherapy

"Posture up" is something I often say to patients.
In sitting put your bottom into the back of the chair. Lift the chest up.
In standing rock the weight back and forward on the feet and back enough so the toes wriggle freely. Soften knees, move pelvis back and forward to find mid position. Feel the head balanced on the neck. Breathe. Relax.
Adjust posture often to train a good relaxed position.

Ballet is a combination of skill, strength, grace, beauty and training. Unfortunately with pushing the envelope and other reasons at times injuries occur. Any downtime can be spend working in other areas. Treatment can be a combination of altered or reduced training, posture correction, specific stretching or strengthening, local treatment with the goal of return to poised performance better than ever.
