5 signs you need to get outdoors more! 🌳😀

Did you know spending too much time indoors can lead to your health suffering? If you are experiencing some of these symptoms below, then consider how much time you spend outdoors! In winter, it can be less appealing, but SPRING is here, so get out there 🚵‍♀️

1: Moodiness: You need sunlight to increase your level of serotonin, the mood-boosting neurotransmitter. Low levels of serotonin are often linked with mood swings and depression, but heading outdoors can help bring these levels back up.

2: Anxiety and restlessness: When you're starved of outside sun and stimulation, experts say that you might "become upset more easily than usual or become upset by seemingly minor things."

3: Sleep Troubles: During the day, light exposure signals are sent from our brain to other parts of our body that allow us to stay alert and awake. When it is dark, our bodies release melatonin which supports a deeper quality sleep. If we don’t see as much sunlight, these signals can get mixed and lead to poor quality sleep at night.

4: Poor Immune system: Our bodies benefit from sunlight in boosting our vitamin D levels. This Vitamin is a key nutrient in helping to build a strong immune system.

5: Bone & Muscle Weakness: Another side effect of not getting enough vitamin D from sunlight is bone pain and muscle weakness. This can increase risk of harm from falls and has also been linked to chronic pain.

Getting outside in the sun during winter and safe times in the day in summer is a great way to boost your vitamin D levels.

There can of course be other reasons for the symptoms listed above. So, we highly recommend discussing any concerns with your doctor.

If you have an injury, that is stopping you from being able to get outside as much, then get in touch as physiotherapy may be able to help get you moving again 👌

Today is WORLD PHYSIOTHERAPY DAY! Today is to recognise the work that physios do to support the health and wellbeing of their clients.

Further this year the theme for World Physiotherapy Day is to highlight the role of physiotherapists in the management of healthy ageing, with a focus on preventing falls and frailty.

Did you know that...? Physio NZ supports 9 aged care facilities in Christchurch and older adults in the community in particular with reducing risks of falls.

A shout out to my AMAZING team at Physio NZ 👏 Happy World Physiotherapy Day!

And that's another rugby season done!🏉

And what a season it was for Lyttelton Rugby Club, winners of the Premier Reserve competition

Last week we were invited to Prize Giving to celebrate the season, the achievements of the players and the hard work of the support crew behind the scenes and on the sidelines, including Alex - team medic👏👏. What a great night!

This club is something special. We have been so privileged to be part of the Lyttleton RFC for over 14 years now.

Well done on another season and looking forward to seeing the team perform again next year!

THUMB SPRAINS AND WINTER SPORTS ❄

Thumb sprain (sometimes referred to as Skier’s Thumb) is a relatively common injury where the thumb gets forced backwards and outwards by force.

In skiing this may happen in a fall where the ski pole stresses the thumb. In rugby it may be an injury landing awkwardly on the tip of the thumb or through gripping onto an opposing player's jersey and the thumb getting wrenched in a tackle. ⛷🏉

There will usually be swelling and bruising around the thumb and it will feel weak and painful. Trying to grip and use the thumb may be difficult or even impossible.

Although it may be tempting to just rest it and give it time to heal it is really important to get the injury assessed and managed correctly. A Physiotherapist can carry this out.

If the ligament is not adequately supported and protected as it heals it can delay the healing. If the ligament heals with increased laxity this can lead to ongoing instability and weakness in the thumb. The thumb can be prone to greater risk of reinjury and joint damage later in life.

It is really important to follow the guidance of a Physiotherapist and go through the rehabilitation process fully to ensure a smooth return to sport and minimise increased risk of re injury down the line.

A question you might be thinking about (like many others) is...

Would my claim be covered under ACC or is it a private appointment?

Most physical injuries such as wounds, lacerations, sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations and work-related injuries are covered if they’re caused by:
• An accident
• A condition that comes on gradually because of your work (gradual process)
• Medical treatment
• Sexual assault or abuse

For further information refer to the ACC website or contact us and we can help guide you in this process.
