Keep that Body Moving – Maintenance Tips from an Osteopath.

At BodyRight Healthcare, we are extremely fortunate to have passionate practitioners who all have varying areas of expertise and specialties. This week, we chatted to Dr Carlos Olson, a registered osteopath who splits his time between his own private practice and within the Aged Care facilities as a “BodyRighter”. 

Carlos has a fantastic understanding of the musculoskeletal system and takes great pride in seeing the progression of all his patients/clients through his extensive rehabilitation programs. Our goal at BodyRight Healthcare is to help people get their “bodies right” and with Carlos’s list of exercises, we all will be one step closer to achieving this feat. Enjoy.

Melbourne Marathon Journey

With the Nike Melbourne Marathon less than five days away, we figured it would be only fitting to chat with osteopath Will Krithararis to learn more about his preparation for the challenge he will conquer this coming Sunday. As an osteopath and athlete of high calibre, Will is all too familiar with the consequences of over-training or under-preparing – so who better to give us an insight into what makes an athlete tick?

Returning to the Office Pain Free & With Ease.

With workplaces and life in general slowly returning to some form of normality over the coming weeks and months, the timing has never been better to remind ourselves of the importance of having an ergonomic set-up when working. The daily grind has changed for good over the last two years and that has been the most common reason for a patient to visit a clinician – seeking a cure. We sat down with Av Kumar – Senior Physiotherapist at EBR Physio and Team Physiotherapist at OHAFC and South East Melbourne Phoenix – for some insight into the common issues he’s seeing and how we can prevent them becoming our new normal.

I know this is not the most fun topic in the world but I promise you, it is very important! Your habits can have a significant impact on how your body feels.

Trainer for Falls Prevention

Falls Prevention in Older Adults

There’s an underlying myth that falls are an inevitable part of growing old. Falls are often associated with conditions that result in muscle weakness, balance problems, poor vision, heart disease, dementia or low blood pressure (hypotension). However, it is not inevitable that you or your loved one should fear the risk of having a serious fall as you grow older.

Keeping You Active & Safe During COVID-19

During these unsettling times, it’s easy to worry about your health or the health of your loved ones. While social distancing and isolating are now the norm, we recognise that our essential allied health services simply cannot be put on hold.
