What it is used for?                      Mentemia means “My Mind” in Italian. It has been developed both for
                                          individuals and businesses, to help to build a daily mental wellbeing
                                          plan which is specific to each person. Mentemia was created by Sir
                                          John Kirwan, who has shared his battle with depression, along with
                                          tech entrepreneur Adam Clark and medical advisers. It provides
                                          practical tips and techniques to help users take control of their mental
                                          health and wellbeing.

Who would benefit from this App?              Anyone. At. All.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

For ourselves, our loved ones, and our patients in this current climate this is a free
app that could be very helpful for anyone in need of a little extra mental health
help right now. Throughout the app there is a strong emphasis on exercise and
diet, with many “short reads” and “easy listens” from athletes and people involved
in elite sport. Other popular mental health wellbeing apps such as Headspace and
Insight Timer mostly focus on meditation and mindfulness. However, Mentemia is
very different and quirky with mostly short articles to read and quick tasks like a
“mood tracker” and “worry map” to complete every day.

                                                                                    CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE >>

  APP REVIEW

Pros:
    •   It is fun and free and there is a lot of new content every day
    •   Easy features which are clear to use
    •   The activities are short and doable which avoids one of the downfalls of similar type apps where the
        information or exercises can become overwhelming
    •   The wheel of kindness is my personal fav where you spin the wheel to find a task which will make
        another person happy, eg. reconnect with a friend, let someone go first, write a comment.
    •   It’s like having a personalised mental health coach in your pocket!

Cons:

    •   All poor reviews online are due to technical app issues with account/log in information, I haven’t had
        any problems.
    •   Doesn’t replace the need for professional help if indicated.

                                                              OVERALL RATING = 4.8 / 5

    RADIOLOGY

Ultrasound of the
Hindfoot
Auckland Radiology Group

Thanks to Auckland Radiology Group for the content which in this edition is provided by Dr
Neal Stewart.

The strengths of ultrasound are:

•     Comparing symptomatic and asymptomatic sides
•     Its high resolution for superficial structures,
      particularly tendons and nerves
•     It can evaluate long segments of superficial tendons
      and nerves better than MRI
•     Dynamic assessment of peroneal tendons for
      subluxation and dislocation
•     Differentiating between cystic and solid masses
•     Assessing veins and arteries
•     Ability to detect neovascularity which may be seen
      with tendinopathy, synovitis and bursitis.

      plantar fasciitis and soft tissue lumps which
      commonly turn out to be ganglia, tenosynovitis or
      bursitis.

   UPCOMING SEPNZ COURSES

 Please note these are the proposed courses for 2020. With the current COVID-19
      situation this could also change. Once we are confirmed to go ahead
                        registrations will be open via PNZ.

                                      Student night 28th of September 2020
SEPNZ is excited to announce the launch of our Inaugural Student night. This event is an informal get together for under-
graduate Physiotherapy students across the country who are interested in the field of Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy.
We have a fantastic line up of speakers who can share experiences and stories to help broaden the understanding of what
                               a career in Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy might look like.

 This course is for registered physiotherapists who work with individual athletes or teams in which lower limb injury is
 common. The focus of the course is on pathomechanics and kinetic chain deficits as they relate to injury prevention and
                      performance, diagnosis and advanced rehabilitation of lower limb conditions.
 By the end of the course you will understand the pathoaetiology of common lower limb injuries, be able to perform key
 clinical and functional tests, rehabilitate lower limb injury in a number of sporting contexts including football, running and
                           contact sports, and develop individualised return-to-sport programmes.
