Correcting ‘Australian Posture’ – Chronic Back Pain
Case History: Chronic Lower Back Pain, Forward Head Carriage and ‘Australian Posture’
Mr. M. is a 44 year old male sales and office worker who attended the Practice. Yes a real patient, real person.
He was suffering with chronic lower back pain (CLBP). He had been enduring spinal pain for 25 years and things were getting progressively worse.
In terms of postural distortion; Mr. M. had what we affectionally call an ‘Australian Posture’. Australian Posture is something we commonly see in Practice and is a driver of many lower back and neck conditions.
Australian Posture is the forward translation of the torso and head forward of the vertical green axis line, in the manner you see below. Not only does this create tremendous pressure on the lower back, but also the neck and shoulders.
Henley Royal Regatta 2018 – Grand Challenge Cup
The Australian Eight produces a new record at Henley.
Even if you are just moderately interested in rowing – both these races are superb.
The National Training Centre is THE elite centre for mens Rowing in Australia. When Dr. Hooper rowed for Australia in the 90’s, they were based at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). Under direction of Australian Rowing a new centre has been established on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra.
The men from the National Training Centre (NTC) Australia made it into the final by beating the British VIII. Well done to the boys from the National Training Centre in Canberra for their fantastic tenacity and skill.
One of the best races we have seen in Australian Rowing.
T. Scullers v Mercantile – Wyfold | Henley 2018 Day 3
Day 3 for Mercantile; a closer race to a talented T. Scullers crew.
Mercantile v Bewdley – Wyfold | Henley 2018 Day 2
Mercantile put on a very dominant display against some previous Henley winners from Bewdley.
Very early lead to Mercantile by the Island and then settled for the paddle home.
Some entertaining commentary at 3.10 about Mitchell Hooper in the 3 seat who had a ‘brother’ (cousin) racing for Cambridge. Mitchell is apparently working as blacksmith on a beef farm. Not sure how he fits in time to study at Monash.
Great win for Mercantile today.
Mercantile v Strathclyde Park – Wyfold | Henley 2018 Day 1
The Mercantile four competing in the Wyfold Cup are:
- Stroke – Angus Maloney
- Three – Mitchell Hooper
- Two – Jack Kelly
- Bow – Ben Canham
The four raced superbly today to easily win their first round. They flew off the start and settled down well many, many lengths in front.
The “Rowing Dynasty” discussion at 3.50 by the commentators is very generous to Dr. Hooper and the family. Much appreciated.
