24.01.2022 We bang on about the importance of ergonomics and a safe working environment to help with injury prevention. People assume we are talking about our office workers, but Tradies we are looking at you! Physically demanding trade jobs can cause and exacerbate a range of injures. It's not surprising that Tradies are over represented in workplace statistics compared to other workers. The average time off work due to serious workplace injury is 5-6 weeks, which is time many Tradies simply can’t afford. Maintenance is the key to injury prevention, so come and see us and let us help you before injury takes you off the tools!

21.01.2022 A common cause of hip pain we see in the clinic is Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS). This syndrome most often affects women aged 40-60yrs and presents as pain on the side of the hip, often when walking, climbing stairs or laying on your side to sleep GTPS is most commonly caused by weakness in the gluteal muscles and poor hip control. ... Avoiding painful positions such as sitting cross legged and laying on the painful side, in combination with a strengthening rehab program can help to reduce your pain and get you back to living your best life! If this sounds like something you're suffering from, have a chat with one of our physio's today!

21.01.2022 A gym related injury is often like a hangover. Way too much, way too quickly and then once we feel better we go and do it all over again.
