With temporary desk setups, couch and dining table options, our posture has taken a beating over the Corona lock down period.

Feeling like your head is falling forward, your shoulders rounding and your neck and upper back aching?

These are all signs that you have a spinal problem. 

Lockdown Posture

Yes, sitting up straight will help but if those postures are cemented in, chances are you need an adjustment to help unlock those stuck patterns.

Dr Tony - Your local Hawthorn Chiropractor

About 6 months ago I was running really well. I’d got to 10km in my training and really happy with the pace I was setting (about 4.50/k pace) and them my knee blew up. Ahhhrgggrhhhh!

From then it was a constant battle to get any runs in without my leg tightening, pulling on my knee and blowing up again and again.

WHY?????

I finally found the solution, it was because my Glutes were weak. So I started strengthening them using this exercise called the Crab Walk and I’ve been good since then.

Give it go and let me know about the BURN you get in the glutes.

Every day, I am asked about the best way to strengthen the lower back, improving posture, overcoming injury and to prevent back pain and other problems.

Here's my 3-part Superman exercise that you can do to effectively and efficiently strengthen your spine.

Give it a go and let me know what you think.

Walk tall, smile lots! Dr Tony.

Here’s another great exercise for people suffering with low back pain.

If you've got a stiff, stubborn, painful lower back - then give this exercise a go. It's a simple one yet effective one. This is also a great exercise to keep your spine supple and mobile.

Let me know what you think. Does it help?

I'm often asked which exercises should be done by people who have been seeing me for Low back pain.

I share my favourite exercise for the lower back.

This is not an exercise for someone who is in acute pain and is finding it hard to move. This is for someone who wants to start to strengthen their lower back and regain proper control of the muscles and supporting structures.

This exercise is best done in conjunction with a proper care plan by your Chiropractor. I'd love to know how you go. Remember slow and controlled is better.

Walk tall, smile lots! Dr Tony.

Is your neck pain getting you down?

Try this simple exercise to help relieve the aching in your neck.

Neck pain can be a real drag. Whether at your desk, at home or in the car - you can do this exercise as often as you like. All you need is a tennis ball.

I'd love to know how you go. Does this exercise help you?

Walk tall, smile lots!

You may or may not have heard the saying "Sitting is the new smoking!" - where that a saying comes from is from the research that shows that sitting for long periods has a HUGE detrimental affect on our health.

What can we do? We have to sit to do our job. We have to sit to drive the car. Sometimes it's unavoidable.

If you find yourself having to sit for hours during the day - this one excise can help to minimise the damaging effects.

Give it a try for 3-5 minutes every day (twice if you can) and you'll be amazed at the effects physically and mentally.

I'd love to know how you go.

Walk tall, smile lots!
