This morning I had the opportunity to observe Dr Relling and Dr Riekert work their magic in theatre. They have been doing conservative procedures for neck and lower back pain, including pain blocks and radio-frequency neuromodulation. Thank you to the team at PAIN for allowing me this opportunity.

🌟 Keep Kids Moving These Holidays!

📚 School’s out, movement is in!
Physiotherapists recommend keeping children active during the holidays to support healthy growth, motor development and mental wellbeing.

🏃‍♂️ Jump, dance, ride a bike, climb a tree — just keep it fun and safe.
👣 Not sure what’s best for your child’s body and stage of development? A physio can help!

🧍‍♂️ PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 🧍‍♀️

❌ Myth: “Good posture means sitting up straight all the time.”
✅ Fact: The best posture is your next posture! 🔄

Holding any position for too long — even a “perfect” one — can cause discomfort. Physiotherapists recommend frequent movement and posture variation to keep your body happy and pain-free.

So yes, sit tall — but also shift, stretch, and stand often! 🪑➡️🧍‍♀️➡️🧘‍♂️

💥 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 💥

❌ Myth: “Physiotherapy is just massage and exercise.”
✅ Fact: Physiotherapy is so much more! 🙌

Physios are movement and health professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions — from sports injuries and chronic pain to neurological, respiratory, paediatrics, and pelvic health issues.

💡 Think: rehabilitation, prevention, education, hands-on techniques, and personalised care — all rolled into one profession!

🧠 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 🧠

❌ Myth: “You need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist.”
✅ Fact: You can go directly to a physiotherapist without a referral! 🙌

Physios are first-line practitioners – trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions. Early access = faster recovery. Why wait?

🌍 Movement Monday: Breathe Easy, Fight TB! 🏋️‍♂️💨

🌟 Exercise of the Day: Diaphragmatic Breathing 🌟

Deep breathing strengthens your lungs, improves oxygen flow, and supports TB recovery. Try this simple diaphragmatic breathing exercise:

How to Do It:
1️⃣ Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.
2️⃣ Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly.
3️⃣ Inhale deeply through your nose, letting your belly rise while keeping your chest still.
4️⃣ Exhale slowly through pursed lips, feeling your belly fall.
5️⃣ Repeat for 5–10 minutes daily.

💙 This exercise helps improve lung function, reduce breathlessness, and promote relaxation. Give it a try and keep your lungs strong!
