PROPRIOCEPTION is one of your senses. It’s your body’s ability to sense it's own position and movements in space. Proprioception is a complex automatic process that you can also fine-tune. Many conditions and injuries can affect it, however, even individuals with no injury can have poor proprioception.

How good is your Physio's proprioception?
Check out this Proprioception Challenge, and try it out with friends, family or colleagues and see if you can beat your physio😃👣

Have you reached the "end of year fatigue", or have your stress levels increased?
Here are 6 ways to improve your overall wellness and manage your stress (The 6 Best Doctors).

In addition, remember to :
1) Practice mindfulness: Deep breathing exercises calms the nervous system

2) Exercise: Physical activity assists in releasing tension and improve your overall mood (Endorphins = happy hormones)

3) Prioritize sleep: Sleep is a crucial part of recovery and managing stress levels. During sleep the brain is busy doing "house keeping" to ensure you can function optimally the next day

4) Set boundaries: Learn to say "No" where needed to protect your time and energy

5) Connection: talk to and engage with trusted friends, family and colleagues who provide a safe and healthy net around you

'Tis the season for Allergies, Hayfever and Sinusitis...

With Spring well underway, many of us may have already felt the effect it has had on flaring up our allergies, hay fever and sinusitis.

Did you know that Physiotherapy aids in relieving symptoms through techniques such as dry needling, facial massage, neck and upper thoracic mobilization, ultrasound, laser, breathing exercises and nebulization?
Stay tuned to hear more about Sinusitis in our newsletter coming out next week
