Peer reviewed by Kathryn Anderson, BA Physiotherapy (Honours)   Several months into the pandemic, I was suffering with debilitating pain that travelled from both elbows down through my wrists and into my hands. My desk job was “click heavy”, using both a left- and a right-handed mouse simultaneously to roster (and de-roster!) frontline Aged Care staff and manage hectic inbound call queues. Thanks, Covid! This is my desk! I wasn’t sure I could keep working. By the end of a bad day, I could barely move my hands. Sometimes I’d resort to using a pen to click the mouse or keyboard. I didn ..read more

Identifying the Cause of a bulging disc: My personal story

by Georgia Hogan

A diagnosis of a disc bulge can be quite daunting – trust me, I know. I was only 6 months into my time as a private practice Physiotherapist when I had an acute episode of significant neck pain, with radiating pain down my right arm and into my little finger. I had had previous smaller occurrences, but none had compared to the pain and limitation I felt with this – from one wrong push up. Like I said – I know it’s daunting, so I’d love to share a little insight into my experience, and what I did to get back from it. Initially following my first occurrence of this pain, I saw a Physiotherapist ..read more
