Dry Needling taken to a whole new level with electrical muscle stimulation.

Needling with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), also known as electro-dry needling or dry needling with electrostimulation, involves inserting fine, sterile needles into tight muscle trigger points and applying a gentle electrical current through them. This technique enhances dry needling's benefits by stimulating muscle contractions and promoting tissue healing, circulation, and pain relief, making it effective for chronic pain, muscle spasms, and improving mobility.

💧 Regular headaches? Don’t overlook the basics — dehydration is a common culprit!

But if hydration doesn’t help there might be other factors at play – if you feel like you’ve got a lot of tension (especially in your jaw, neck or shoulders) musculoskeletal causes might be the culprit. Book in for a massage at Evolve. Our therapists are here to help!

How can we help with heel spurs? 👣

A heel spur is a bony growth that develops where the plantar fascia pulls on the heel bone — usually in response to ongoing strain or tension. It’s not the spur itself that causes pain, but the inflammation and tightness in the surrounding soft tissues.

Osteopaths and Physiorherapists look at the whole picture: how you're walking, whether your calves are tight, how your foot arches behave, and whether there's reduced mobility further up the chain — like in your hips or lower back.

We use gentle hands-on techniques to reduce tension, improve foot and ankle mechanics, and support better movement overall. The goal? Less pain, better shock absorption, and happier steps.

Go to www.livesmartevolve to book an appointment — and take that first step towards more comfortable feet. 👟

🎾 Got a grip like a pro but pain on the outside of your elbow? You might be dealing with tennis elbow — and no, you don’t need to be a tennis player to get it!

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is caused by tiny tears in the tendon from repetitive gripping, lifting, or twisting. It can make everyday tasks — like pouring the kettle or opening jars — seriously uncomfortable.

Everybody is different. In fact, no two bodies are the same — and that’s exactly how it should be. Some of us are naturally more flexible, flopping around like the scarecrow, while others might feel like the Tin Man, a bit stiff in the joints and needing a good oiling! Height, neck length, foot shape — all these anatomical givens shape how you move and hold yourself.

There’s no perfect posture or movement to copy because your body’s blueprint is unique. At Evolve Health, our allied health therapists help you work with your individual structure to move comfortably and confidently through life – so you can get on with being that first-rate version of yourself in all the ways that matter.

A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner uses a holistic approach to
understand your health.

Through detailed questions, pulse reading, and tongue observation, they create a personalised diagnosis tailored to your unique needs.

Based on this, they may use treatments such as acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, or moxibustion, along with Chinese herbal medicine and dietary guidance, to address your concerns and restore balance to your body.

‘Knot’ feeling too good?
Struggling with tension and looking for some extra at-home massage options between osteo appointments? Try these targeted techniques:

🔸 Plantar fasciitis? Roll a frozen water bottle under the arch of your foot for 5–10 minutes to reduce inflammation and gently stretch the fascia.

🔸 Tension in your jaw (TMJ issues)? Use your fingertips to apply small, slow circles just in front of your ears and along the cheekbone — no digging, just enough to feel movement in the muscle.

🔸 Tight shoulders or glutes? Lean against a wall with a tennis ball placed between your body and the wall. Roll slowly to find a tender point, then pause and breathe — let the pressure sink in rather than forcing it.

🔸 Forearm strain from typing? Use your opposite thumb to stroke firmly (but comfortably) along the length of the forearm muscles, from elbow to wrist, staying just off the bone.

Self-massage should feel relieving, not bruising. If tight spots keep coming back, there may be an underlying postural or mobility issue. That's where we come in! Call 4207 9960 to book.

✨ INTRODUCING THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK ✨
Ashley Zalunardo
Acupuncturist; Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioner

Ashley will be available for appointments from mid-late September. Email livesmartevolve@outlook.com OR call 4207 9960 to pop your name on a waitlist for when appointments become available and keep an eye out on socials.

Ashley’s path to Traditional Chinese Medicine began in her work as a Registered
Nurse, where she spent eight years working with NSW Health caring for patients in
both hospital and community settings. With over a decade in healthcare, she saw
first hand the importance of treating not just the symptoms, but the whole person.

After experiencing the transformative effects of TCM in her own life, Ashley was
inspired to complete a Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Sydney
Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SITCM). As an AHPRA registered
acupuncturist and Chinese herbal medicine practitioner she now combines her
medical background with a holistic approach, offering treatments that address the
root of health concerns as well as the immediate discomfort. Ashley has also
completed further study in Dr Tan Balance Method acupuncture, and the Fertile Life
Method training by Dr Kristen Wolfe.

Ashley loves supporting people through all stages of life and has a special interest in
pain relief and women’s health.

We are so excited to have Ash as a part of our Evolve team!
