01 Dec 2010 BY Katrina Tarrant POSTED IN Physiotherapy Interested in Real Time Ultrasound to check your Deep pelvic contractions? As some of you are aware, an invaluable tool in muscle and "brain" (motor control) retraining now available to physiotherapists is the RTUS. Our colleagues at Castlereagh Physiotherapy Clinic have one on site and most of you would find a session with it most helpful. From the beginnings of your rehabilitation to checking your progress, the RTUS has great benefit. It provides us with capability similar to ultrasound machines used for diagnosis and viewing foetal pictures during pregnancy. The Castlereagh physios have been trained on using this machine to show you in real time (i.e. during the actual exercise) which muscles you are contracting. By watching the muscles move relative to each other, you can fine control your contraction to involve those deep abdominals, pelvic floor and buttock muscles and know you are doing it correctly. Once you’re certain you've got it right,your confidence that you are doing it right in fix classes will grow.Research has shown that the core muscles (deep abdominals and pelvic floor muscles), loose their postural tone after lower back pain and this contributes to recurrent exacerbations. Returning these muscles to their original strength and control greatly enhances your full recovery.Patients with poor core stability may also suffer hip, knee, ankle or neck pain and so your physio may suggest some RTUS for your treatment program.Sessions with the Castlereagh Clinic for RTUS cost $90 and can be claimed as an "Initial assessment" with your private health cover. Call them on 9264 7974 for an appointment.

30 Nov 2010 BY Katrina Tarrant POSTED IN Sydney CBD 2011 Staff Changes at Fix CBD As most of you will be aware, Katrina will be heading off at the end of January to have another baby. This has meant a re-shuffle of the physio staff to cover all classes. There will be minimal change to the term timetable and classes offered. The changes include: Alla will teach 2 full days from her usual 1, and will now instruct Mondays and Wednesdays; Sue will increase her hours and teach Tuesday lunch and all Thursday lunch and evening classes; Christine will increase her hours teaching to include Tuesday evening and Friday lunch classes. Melanie who now teaches on a Monday will be sadly leaving us as she heads off on her own entrenpreneurial pursuits. She is opening her own private physiotherapy practice, which will offer physiotherapy, dietetics and The Fix Program! So, although we may lose her at the CBD branch, we will still have her in the Fix Program family. We all wish her all the good luck and fortune.
