Whether to apply heat or cold is a common question that we are asked at Embody Movement. We explore when to use each treatment.

The first weeks and months after surgery can be an uncertain time as you regain movement and build confidence. Exercise Physiologist Elle Bonser and Physiotherapist Courtney Pointon answer some questions about surgery recovery.

Have you ever experienced an injury or pain but couldn’t pinpoint what had caused it? As Physiotherapists who value looking at the whole picture with our clients, we endeavour to investigate the factors that lead to ongoing pain, when the cause is not obvious.

As a clinic that uses exercise as treatment often patients often call to ask if they should attend their session if they are in pain. Perhaps you woke up with a sore neck, or yesterday you bent over to pick up the paper and tweaked your back. Is it best to rest or can exercise and movement help you to recover faster?

So many of my patients over the last few weeks have been unable to attend their exercise sessions due to colds and flu. It can get confusing to know when you should exercise and when it is best to let your body rest and recover.
