At Spinal Solutions Robertson, we fully approve of using resistance bands at home!

They’re a great, affordable way to build strength, improve flexibility and support your recovery - all without needing fancy gym equipment. Whether you’re working on posture, core stability, or general fitness, resistance bands are a simple tool with big benefits.

Make sure to ask Ingrid which exercises are best for your needs at your next consultation - and make your home workouts count!

Sleep smart and wake up pain-free! 🛏️🌙
Did you know that your sleeping posture can make or break your morning? Poor sleeping positions can lead to neck, back and shoulder pain!

Best Sleeping Positions for a Healthy Spine:
💤 Back Sleepers – Place a pillow under your knees to maintain spinal alignment.
💤 Side Sleepers – Keep a pillow between your knees to reduce strain on your lower back.
💤 Stomach Sleepers – Try to switch positions! But if you can’t, place a thin pillow under your hips to reduce pressure.

Your Physiotherapy questions answered!
We get asked a lot of great questions about physiotherapy, so we thought we’d answer some of the most common ones right here!

✅ 1. What does a physiotherapy session involve?
Your first session typically includes an assessment of your condition, followed by a personalised treatment plan. We may use hands-on techniques, stretches, strengthening exercises, electrotherapy or other therapies to help you heal.

✅ 2. How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your condition, progress and goals. Some people feel better after just a few sessions, while others may need ongoing treatment for a while.

✅ 3. Does physiotherapy hurt?
Physiotherapy should never be painful. We may ask you to push through some discomfort to improve mobility or strength, but we always work within your pain tolerance and comfort level.

✅ 4. Can physiotherapy help with chronic pain?
Yes! Physiotherapy can be incredibly effective in managing chronic conditions like arthritis, sciatica, or fibromyalgia. We focus on improving movement patterns and reducing pain through tailored exercises and techniques.

✅ 5. Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
No! You can book an appointment directly with us. All medical aids pay us directly.

✅ 6. What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. For example, loose-fitting clothes or athletic wear are perfect for stretches and exercises.

Gelukkige Vrouedag, Suid-Afrika! 💐
By Spinal Solutions Robertson vier ons vandag die ongelooflike krag, uithouvermoë en sagtheid van vroue – van diegene wat vir ander sorg, tot dié wat hul eie welstand eerste begin plaas.

As fisioterapeute weet ons: gesondheid is nie net fisies nie, dis ook emosioneel en geestelik. Vandag herinner ons elke vrou om na haar liggaam te luister, pyn nie te ignoreer nie en haar gesondheid met trots te prioritiseer.
Geniet die Vrouedag bederf dames!

Did you know? Even slight pressure on a nerve can cause sharp pain, burning, or that pins-and-needles feeling. Sometimes it just feels like a stubborn tight muscle.

Try this: Gently pull your index finger and see how the skin lifts in a suction effect. That’s what Traction (or Spinal Decompression) does for a bulging or herniated disc—pulling it away from the nerve to relieve pain.

Ready to feel the relief? Visit Spinal Solutions Robertson today.
