Today, we recognise World Day for Safety and Health at Work.

This day, recognised by the United Nations, aims to prevent accidents and diseases at work.

As Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists, we assist numerous patients every week with recovering from work-related injuries, prepare to return to the work, and complete workplace assessments with an aim to reduce the risk of injury.

Our clinic team are proud to support our patients across all facets of life, and we’re here where you need us.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning - we will remember them.

You may have heard it said that exercise can help to improve your mental health. But did you know that research continues to show the positive effects exercise has on mental health?

Research shows that being active can boost your mental health—helping with depression and anxiety almost as much as therapy or medication.

Pretty incredible, right?

While school holidays are the perfect time of year for road trips, these long journeys in the car may leave you feeling stiff.

Here are three easy stretches you could try. We suggest stopping every 90 minutes to have a movement break.

1. Hip flexor stretch

Step one foot back into a gentle lunge, keep your chest tall and gently push your hips forward to feel a stretch at the front of the of your back leg.

2. Hamstring stretch

Rest one heel on a curb or step. While keeping your leg straight, hinge forward from your hips to stretch the back of the leg.


3. Standing spinal twist

Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Gently twist your upper body to one side while keeping your hips facing forward. Stop when you feel a light stretch through your back, then return to centre and repeat on the other side.

Hold each stretch for as long as feels comfortable, move slowly, and listen to your body. Stop immediately if you feel any pain, and consult a physiotherapist for more individualised advice. Stay safe on the roads!

Psssst....daylight savings ended today, so make sure you double check your alarms for tomorrow morning!

The only thing more stressful than being late for work is being WAY too early 🤭

Adding small but meaningful healthy habits into your daily life can be a positive step that quickly becomes routine!

Some everyday habits that you can include into your life include:

⭐Take regular breaks to move. This goes hand in hand with not sitting for long periods of the day.

⭐Stay hydrated, especially as the warm weather continues.

⭐ Practice strengthening exercises.

⭐Align your workspace. Ensure that when you are sitting (no matter for how long) that you are ergonomically adjusted to prevent mobility issues.

Which of these habits will you try today?

If you’re living with lower back pain, a physio may be able to help.

As allied health professionals, there are a number of ways we assess and help our patients manage lower back pain.

1. Comprehensive assessments
2. Education & helping you understand pain
3. Exercise therapy
4. Manual therapy
5. Long-term self-management and flare up management
6. Strategies to reduce risk of recurrence

Not all back pain is the same. Our aim is to provide you with care and a management plan tailored specifically for you so you can get back to doing the things you love.

Do you know the difference between acute pain and persistent pain?

Acute pain lasts less than 6 weeks and is linked to a specific injury.

On the other hand, persistent pain lasts more than 12 weeks. Persistent pain can be more complex and often reflects changes in the sensitivity of the nervous system.

If you’re living with pain, a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist may be able to assist. Contact our friendly team today to find out more.

Life is busy, we understand.

While we won’t go on and on about all of the ways stress can potentially contribute negatively to our overall wellbeing, we will say it’s important to find positive ways to manage stress where possible.

This can be as simple as finding time for relaxation, doing something you love, taking a daily morning walk, or practicing mindful breathing.

How do you manage stress in your day-to-day life?

Push-up Challenge - DAY 9:

Grey skies take time to clear up...

Natural disasters can cause psychological stress and trauma. It is too early to measure the mental health impacts from the New South Wales and Queensland floods this year, but in a study conducted following the 2017 Northern NSW floods, 22% of respondents reported still being distressed six months after the flood event.

Take the time this week to check-in on your friends, family and colleagues.

Don't forget, you can support your team at Allsports Wavell Heights by donating via:
