Even though we are often told of the importance of physical health, we don’t hear as often what we can actually do to improve it.

Here at City Physiotherapy, we can create a tailored approach focused on your physical wellbeing.

So needless to say, I neglected to check the weath

So needless to say, I neglected to check the weather before heading out on my walk from Seacliff along the Hallet Cove Boardwalk yesterday and I got a thorough soaking.

What struck me during my walk was how few other people were outside. Maybe I’m the crazy one and that’s ok by me.

What I love about times that require our absolute 100% attention like my walk required of me, in order to step safely and to not lose my hat, is that nature is guiding us to let go of all distractions and instead be mindful in each and every moment. We are not seperate, but we are interconnected and harmonious with nature.

Another lesson that comes from us striving outside our usual comfort zone is that we build our resilience muscles.

It’s only water and wind after all and I know that the sun will come out to shine again and that I’m fortunate to have a dry home that is filled with dry clothes I can change into. ❤️#practicegratitudeindifficultmoments #gratefultobealive

Having good posture is important for your overall

Having good posture is important for your overall health, as it can help you avoid muscle tension, pain, fatigue, and many other common ailments and medical conditions.

Oftentimes, we get too busy to even think of the position we are sitting in, or how we are standing. It takes conscious effort to prioritise our health and wellbeing.

These exercises are quick, easy, and convenient ways for you to help improve your posture and promote overall health.

“You were born to be real, not to be perfect.”
- Ralph Marston

Things can always be better, but so what?

You might not feel perfect, but perfection is often unattainable and subjective. The best version of you is the version that is happy and healthy, flaws and all.

Our imperfections are what make us beautifully human.

Rather than trying to blitz all your self-care in

Rather than trying to blitz all your self-care in a single afternoon, it’s important to find even a few brief moments each day to look after yourself.

Here are some quick stretches you can easily work into your daily routine to help maintain flexibility and mobility.

Hip Circles
Standing on one leg, gently swing the opposite leg in circles imagining you are passing your leg over a fence. Do 20 circles in each direction before switching legs. As your flexibility improves, you can progressively increase the size of the circles.

Torso Twists
Stand tall with your legs shoulder-width apart and rest your hands on your waist. Leading with your shoulders twist your body 90 degrees, holding for a moment on each side.

Neck Rotations
Sitting or standing with a tall straight back, keep your chin level and turn your head to the left and right, holding for 15 seconds.

For more exercises tailored to your body and lifestyle, book an appointment with City Physio by calling 8212 4886 or following the link in our bio.

Ever wondered why headaches seem to strike out of nowhere? It could be your hip flexors.

Tight hip flexors, caused by prolonged sitting or repetitive movements, can pull your pelvis out of alignment and disrupt your kinetic chain, leading to tension and pain all the way up to your head.
