Is your child easily overwhelmed? Does your youngster find life changes particularly challenging? Would you describe your son or daughter as “shy” or “cautious”? Is he or she sensitive to bright lights or loud noises? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you may have a highly sensitive child. Some children are […]

Some people come to the clinic with what seems like a simple shoulder problem that should respond well to physical therapy, but then doesn’t. Ongoing shoulder pain may not be driven only by the original injury and on such occasions gut-derived autoimmune/inflammatory processes should be considered as a possible contributor. Recently a patient presented with […]

Most of us would have heard of giving kids a ‘time out’ when they’ve done something wrong. You may have experienced sitting alone as a child, in some boring and bare corner of the room, waiting for a parent or teacher to allow you back. ‘Time out’ has been a staple of the child behaviour […]

As we saw last week, most people stretch infrequently; don’t stretch a muscle for long; frequently use ballistic stretching techniques; and if they attempt to hold a stretch, they often hold their breath while pushing hard into ‘the pain’ of the stretch. To stretch effectively, you should pretty-much do the complete opposite. That is: Stretch […]
A Life Committed to Others
Mother’s Day is a time to reflect, recognise and thank mothers and grandmothers across the country for all that they do. Their selfless acts and love that they share bind our families together. Glenmore Park resident Vivienne Ross is one such mum and a true, unsung hero. Vivienne, who has two children and four stepchildren, […]
