One of the most common things we hear as physio’s is that people have a “disc bulge”. Unfortunately, this can lead to immense amount of worry regarding future pain and disability. Nearly everyone knows of someone who have “slipped a disc” and have ongoing back pain as a result.
 
The gap between what is known by the general public vs health professionals on this matter is huge.
 
Let’s discuss a few of the most important points:

Our Tarragindi Physiotherapy clinic has been located on Esher St for over 2 years now and in that time we've grown to love the Tarragindi community! With our incredible team spending so much time in the Tarragindi community and with the incredible Tarragindi locals we thought it might be time to share some love by talking about our favourite Tarragindi businesses!

Ever wondered how much exercise is actually enough? The Australian guidelines for physical activity have recently been updated. It can be found at www.health.gov.au and outlines' how much activity we should be doing. This is a great resource and we recommend you have a read. We’ve condensed some of the information below and provided some additional insight below.

​So you’ve been sent to have some type of scan (MRI, CT, Ultrasound, Xray) and its comeback with a couple of paragraphs about what’s happening inside. Medical language is complex and often sounds scary. I can’t stress how important it is to find someone to take the time and explain to you what the scan found and what it means for you.

You might have seen a new face around the studio lately with the new addition to our team Daniel! He has a super similar background to our Director Mauricio with a Bachelor of Exercise Science followed by a Masters of Physiotherapy from Griffith University. He loves meeting new people, staying fit and active and spending time with his beautiful new family which includes his adorable baby son Oscar. We sat down and asked him a few "get to know you" questions recently - read on if you're as curious as we were!

Well, what a year! Getting through your first year in business is a challenge for nearly anyone. For us, we managed to get through our first year AND our first pandemic simultaneously.

(We're also adding a baby soon, just to keep things interesting!)

We think all of that is a pretty good reason to celebrate! (Code below!).

We are currently living through unprecedented times and the government is making announcements daily. As a health clinic we have been advised that we are to continue operating in order to provide a service that reduces the strain on emergency department presentations. As clinicians we are playing an important role in continuing to keep the community healthy, and there are no government restrictions on our clinician led services and physiotherapy appointments at this time. We have however implemented multiple new policies and technology in order to continue to give the highest level of care, and keep our community safe.
