PHYSIO-ism

And just like that the school holidays are over and it's time for the kids to get back into the normal routine!

I have been actively working on my confidence by putting myself in harm's way...

I review my most recent health challenges and it was a buzz to recount how much of a tough spot I was in! From 2013-2016 I suffered from dry socket syndrome after having a tooth pulled out. Then my most recent dramas with a busted ear drum . You do take things for granted... big time!

From the last update ... My hearing has returned from 50% to 90% and there is no aching or tenderness at all! A practice of health patience that's for sure!

The home routine, having to manage a household, 3 x kids under 5yo and trying to keep a happy demeanour! I don't know how she does it. To my beautiful wife, I love you.

The Australian Bushfires have been a disastrous natural event that has devastated a large part of our great land. Driving home the visibility was only 5m! Can you imagine that?

From the last update ... It's been a process trying to get over this ear ache but I'm down the home straight! Even the GP can see the ear drum healing well!

You know when you have a regular appointment that should be kept. Today is on the Bills. If you have accidentally missed a payment then you know it's not a nice feeling. Imagine having over $1M hanging over your head! I'd be sweating bricks every night...

You know when you have a regular appointment that should be kept. Today is on the dentist. Anyone who has suffered through a sleepless night without much rest because of the throbbing toothache can attest to this!

You know when you have a regular appointment that should be kept. Today is on the car mechanic. We know that if the car breaks down... nearly everything else falls over!

Every year early February a bunch of blokes gather to spend time together. This year is the 3rd instalment of our annual getaway and it's a chance for the fellas to reconnect and enjoy each others company. It's a tough challenge to manage young families, businesses and work load and you can lose touch with people. This is a commitment we are making for one weekend a year!

Having loved ones around you can be something you take for granted. There are new Australians far away from all their social support and close relatives. Bushfire victims may have lost everything. Here's my ways of keeping a grateful heart...

Every year in the first or second weekend of February a lot of my friends come together to hang out and celebrate our long friendship. This is the 3rd Annual Boys Weekend and it is well attended with over 20 people committed year on year! Fun times!

We celebrated my 3mo daughter's Baptism AND my son's 2nd birthday party! It was a big family day and we enjoyed ourselves!

When you doubt yourself it can really affect your future casting thoughts. Putting your best intentions into your relationships, new ventures and trying new things can have a great upside and frightening downside. These last 3 months have tested these things and the results are largely positive. I. AM. GRATEFUL!

The last 3 months have been an earnest challenging in thinking and most importantly - executing. From Jan 2019 I was one Physio in one Clinic. Looking ahead into Feb 2020 I will be a team of 4 x Physios and 3 x Backroom staff across 4 x Clinics! It comes with great personal growth!

Having some pain can be a good way to build rapport with people that I'm helping. Why? It can give me insight into your pain without judgement. This is how I'm framing this ear ache and now busted ear drum . My inner ear anatomy is sharpened up that's for sure!

Routine... the real test is when you're alone and no-one is around to help keep you accountable. What does your routine look like?

Prepare, Plan and Act. You do it for bushfires. Why not for your health? Take the ACL as an example!

These Australian Bushfires have been the worst to date! So much destruction and devastation that it's been heralded as an International Emergency!

Almost 1 week into this persistent ear ache I reflect on the Functional Medicine model to aid in getting rid of the ear aches. Typically I keep healthy by keeping  the body moving, having a mindfulness practice, eat well and find tings that make me happy. I also focus on keeping inflammation suppressed. I do not frown on taking medications. When indicated it compliments the natural therapy of...
