17/07/2023

Who else feels like the year is running away from us? My gosh, it has been a busy time and I am so happy to finally have time so say a little hello on my page again🫶

I was elated to finally receive my official Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Insititute certificate which has taken 3 courses in 3 different provinces over the years ~ I can't say that I didn't love every moment of it!

I am now also a Mrs💍 After the most magical, intimate wedding on the 3rd of June. I was so touched by the excitement of my patients for me leading up to the big day.

And so life continues! A little reminder that I am based at Clifton Hill Estate (across the road from Le Domaine) but also offer home visits within the Upper Highway area, as well as to surrounding nursing homes🌼

Wishing everyone a happy week ahead!

Who else is ready to take on the new week?🌿

This weekend my fiancé and I got our heart rate up in a bit of a different way - tandem biking at the beachfront 🚴🏼‍♀️ And we loved it!

Exercising outdoors naturally increases your sun exposure, enhancing vitamin D production 🌤 Vit D not only boosts our immune system function ~ it improves our mood, promotes bone health and acts to reduce inflammation in our bodies 💛

Loved this for a little Monday morning mindfulness to start the week off positively 🧡

The reason why morning admin can sometimes be a little challenging 🐱 I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather today! xx

ᴄᴀʀᴘᴀʟ ᴛᴜɴɴᴇʟ sʏɴᴅʀᴏᴍᴇ

I've been seeing alot of this lately, so thought I would share a little bit about this condition 🖐🏼

🔸️It usually occurs between the ages of 36 and 50

🔸️It is more common in females

🔸️Most of the time the cause is related to occupation ~ computer-related work is usually the biggest culprit. I also come across it in hairdressers, teachers, beauticians and patients that do alot of knitting/sewing/crocheting

🔸️Carpal tunnel syndrome is essentially compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel at the wrist

🔸️Symptoms include pain, numbness and/or tingling but can vary in terms of where:
~ Thumb
~ Middle finger
~ Index finger
~ Thumb side of the ring finger
~ Symptoms radiating all the way up to the elbow

🔸️Further progression can lead to hand weakness and reduced fine motor control leading to clumsiness

Why you should see your physio ~

🔸️ A thorough assessment is done to rule put any other differential diagnosis

🔸️ Specific tests are done to confirm that is is carpal tunnel syndrome

🔸️ If further investigations are needed, your physio will refer you for an ultrasound scan

🔸️ ᴛʀᴇᴀᴛᴍᴇɴᴛ

~ First and foremost, activity modification to correct the repetitive movement or ergonomic set-up causing compression

~ Manual therapy which will include mobilization of both soft tissue and the median nerve

~ Rehab including appropriate stretches & specific exercises to gently mobilize the median nerve

~ Therapeutic ultrasound to reduce inflammation

~ K-taping to reduce pressure over the carpal tunnel and provide support

~ If needed, referral to an orthotist to have a brace fitted (usually worn at night)

🔸️ Should symptoms be persisting, severe or reoccurring, surgical intervention will involve a carpal tunnel release. It is usually a day procedure and is considered to be 'minor' surgery but is shown to have a high success rate

Happy Friday everyone!
