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”

Workstation Set Up

Your workstation should be set up to cause the least amount of stress on your body. Prolonged hours of poor posture or repetitive work habits, often in a stressful environment can result in significant overuse injury. Applying the following points can help to minimise such injuries.

 

Important points to note :

  • Sit in front of your workstation such that your monitor is directly front on.
  • Your arms should be at right angles from your shoulders when you type.
  • Your wrists should be in line with your forearms, both horizontally and vertically.
  • Your keyboard should be flat.
  • The top of your monitor should be level with your eyes.
  • Do not sit too close to your monitor – at least an arms length away.
  • Ensure your seat is properly adjusted.
  • If your feet don’t reach the ground, use a foot rest.
  • Do not reach too far for your mouse, keep it close to your keyboard and support your arm on the desk when using your mouse.
  • Use a document holder attached to the side of the monitor.
  • Take regular breaks every hour, stretch your legs and perform simple mobility exercises to limber.
