The diaphragm is your primary breathing muscle. It The diaphragm is your primary breathing muscle. It sits under your rib cage and like any other muscle, it can be weak, misused and tight. Here how you learn how to diaphragmatic breathing - - Breath in and push your rib cage out to the side. Its like you are inflating two balloons up to your armpit and relaxing. Your shoulders shouldn't be used. You know if you are doing this by if they move up and down. - Try practising it before bed and before you know it you will be doing it subconsciously. Let us know if you have any questions.

FROZEN SHOULDER, also known as adhesive capsulitis FROZEN SHOULDER, also known as adhesive capsulitis and is characterised by stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms - - begins gradually - worsens over time and then resolves, usually within one to three years - develops slowly, and in three stages. Each stage can last a number of months = 1- Freezing stage. Any movement of your shoulder causes pain, and your shoulder's range of motion starts to become limited. 2- Frozen stage. Pain may begin to diminish during this stage. However, your shoulder becomes stiffer, and using it becomes more difficult. 3- Thawing stage. The range of motion in your shoulder begins to improve. For some people, the pain worsens at night, sometimes disrupting sleep. Prevention - One of the most common causes of Frozen Shoulder is immobility, so make sure you use it, otherwise you will loose it! Differential Diagnosis - Frozen shoulders are often overly diagnosed when there is simply a joint placement malfunction going on. Make sure you get properly assessed to see if we can make a difference to you movement and pain sooner rather than later!

Just a quick update from the COVID press conferenc Just a quick update from the COVID press conference yesterday. Although it stated all allied health are going back to face-to-face, it actually meant for allied health that are on the approved list. Unfortunately that hasn't included us. The Myotherapy Association of Australia have several meetings lined up to try to overturn this decision. If it is overturned we will post another update. So at this stage we are still only able to treat those with endorsed care plans from NDIS and Workcover until the 2nd of November. You can call 1300 696 848 to make an appointment for November but the full capabilities of the online booking system will not be active until Friday the 30th of October. Everyone with bookings this week and next will be contacted once we hear the outcome of the associations meetings. We want to get back to treating as soon as we can, so if it turns out we can return this week, your appointments will go ahead. We have reserved your times for in a fortnight as well so you don't miss out on first availability. Anyone that makes a booking for the 2nd of November onwards will be contacted if we end up being able to return sooner and we can fit you into our schedule. Please note that some screening may take place to ensure a Telehealth appointment isn't more appropriate for your concern. Thank you so much for your patience and continued support. If you have any questions feel free to DM here or email hello@myothrive.com.au

Shoulder is the most multi directional joint in th Shoulder is the most multi directional joint in the body and thus can be the most problematic.

TMJ syndrome is defined by pain and dysfunction in TMJ syndrome is defined by pain and dysfunction in the Jaw Joint. Yes it is a joint of its own. 😬 Many causes include - - Disc derangement - Locked or hyper flexible jaw - Grinding teeth - Muscle spasm in the Jaw muscles - Trauma, psychological stress - Dentures / braces Your symptoms may be - - Jaw/ facial pain - Headaches. earache, neck pain - Locking or catching with motion Treatment - - Life stress reduction eg. meditation - Postural correction - Magnesium powder to calm down the nervous system - Consider a splint - Pillow/ mattress correction - Desk ergonomics - Soft diet initially to rest the joint. - Muscle release and joint mobilisation of the jaw, neck and upper body - Correct exercise biomechanics Prognosis is slower than most conditions because the nervous system involvement is high. 3 months with a strict treatment schedule. Sometimes you need to be referred off for a splint and or botox combined with the treatment. If you'd like to discuss your case of TMJ or if you have any questions, please get in contact with us :-)
It might be your pillow... We prefer a contoured It might be your pillow... We prefer a contoured pillow for most people because they help keep the neck in its ideal spinal position. This also helps keep neighbouring joints like your jaw and shoulders relaxed. Heres what we recommend: - Buy a pillow from an Orthopaedic company ( 2 brands in Australia) - Don't buy a new pillow if you don't have pain. - They last for 5 years! If you are buying a pillow every year, you don't have an Orthopaedic pillow. - The pillow doesn't have to be high, it just has to be right for you and the position you sleep in! We recommend and stock @therapeuticpillow because they are adjustable. We love this because each neck, shoulder width and head weight is unique so being able to make adjustments can be key for some people. It's not as expensive as you think to get a good orthopaedic pillow and for October only we are offering a free online consultation to help you adjust your new pillow (yes...conditions apply!). Simply purchase from the MyoThrive website under "shop" and your pillow will be drop-shipped straight to your door. When it arrives let us know by email, DM or carrier pigeon, whatever method works best for you! We will confirm your purchase and get you booked in for your free consultation! 😴
