A big thank you to all the traders, the local community and of course our wonderful patients for being so welcoming to the Your Body Osteopathy team in our new Macleod premises. Our first newsletter for the year is packed with research, useful information, and a great special offer just for you!
 

WELCOME NEW RESEARCH

We are a clinic that values and advocates new research to help us grow and learn. Here is an interesting research article that you might enjoy from the University of Melbourne that suggests that poor neck and back sitting posture has direct links to poor physical performance. Click here.
 

PRACTITIONER FOCUS

Dr. Luke McCarney BHlthSc BAppSc (Osteo) and BHlth & BiomedSc (Hons)
Dr. Luke discovered Osteopathy as a teenager when dealing with knee and ankle injuries playing basketball. When the opportunity arose for Luke to study Osteopathy, he took it with both hands and has not looked back since.
Luke utilises treatment techniques such as soft tissue massage, muscle stretching, joint mobilisation and joint manipulation as part of his consultation. He also has a focus on rehabilitative exercises as part of an overall management plan. After graduating as an osteopath, Luke decided to continue his tertiary education and undertook an honours degree.
Luke is a great addition to the YBO team and is always eager to lend a helping hand. If you have any queries please give us a ring 9431 6604.

FOCUS ON POSTURE

As we have all been forced to alter our lifestyle over the last year, it has become increasingly important for us to be more aware of our posture.  Here are a few tips:

SITTING POSTURE :

  • Back upright with a natural “S” curve through your spine - hips slightly higher than your knees.
  • Shoulders relaxed
  • Forearms horizontal
  • Feet flat on the floor.

STANDING POSTURE :

  • Natural “S” shape curve of your spine maintained
  • Shoulders relaxed back and down
  • Feet hip width apart with weight evenly through both legs
  • Head central, not tilting forwards or backwards

   WHAT TO AVOID:

  • Slumping
  • Lowering your chair
  • Sitting or standing unevenly for long periods
  • Leaning forward
  • Twisting
  • Hunching your shoulders
