Testimonials

Nick Ward, 24 year old Division 1 reserves football player:
“Gait Scan has led to a pronounced increase in my biomechanical comfort, and instilled a confidence in my body that was previously remiss – I’m finally able to do what I want now!”

Matt Beilby, 21 year old Uni-student and athlete:
“I had the Gait Scan at North Adelaide Physio due to a hip injury ad since then have had no problems with back or leg pains. The scan was easy to use and highlighted the incorrect alignment of my feet. I only wish I’d found them sooner.”

Joey Setiawan, hockey player and ex soldier:
“For years without knowing it, my incorrect posture and flat feet have caused me needless pain with injuries to the Achilles tendon, hamstrings and lower back. North Adelaide Physio helped me address these problems and my daily life has improved immeasurably as a result. It has made a crucial difference to my life!”

Steven Skinner, 57, Engineer
“Before I came to North Adelaide Physio I had balance issues, tingling in my hands, my vision was impaired and regularly suffered nausea. The treatment at North Adelaide Physio has been first class and since receiving treatment I can wear my glasses a lot less and have not suffered nausea for three months. It has allowed me to do to more physical work and get back on with my regular lifestyle. I would recommend their services to anyone requiring physiotherapy”

Contoured Pillows

Print

The most common cause of neck pain (and disturbed nights), is "prolonged abnormal posture during sleep". A soft filled pillow that quickly loses its shape fails to offer the level of support required to relax the heads support system of neck muscles and ligaments. Instead, these structures are left unsupported and cause neck strain.

Maintaining good spinal posture, especially when sleeping, is one key ingredient to ensuring good spinal health.

Contoured pillows are specially shaped to provide support for the neck and head whilst sleeping. This is particularly important when having Physiotherapy as it helps to support your care and enhance recovery.

Common symptoms due to a poor quality pillow include:

headaches/migraine, neck pain, grinding noises on movement, pins and needles and numbness or pain in the arms and/or fingers

Advice for a goods nights sleep on your new pillow



A supportive pillow can make a world of difference


  • Like a new pair of shoes, your new pillow needs to be worn in.
  • Use your pillow at the beginning of each night.
  • If you experience any discomfort, change to your old pillow.
  • Continue to do this until your neck posture alters enough allowing continual use - in some cases this can take up to 2 weeks.
