25.01.2022 WE’VE TURNED 40! Did you know that was it this week way back in 1981 that Alphington Sports Medicine Clinic first opened its doors! Opening its doors way back in 1981, the clinic was originally located in Wingrove Street, near Alphington station offering only Sports Medicine and Physiotherapy. We are proud to now have around 40 expert practitioners working across more than 10 health sectors in our newly renovated building at 339 Heidelberg Road, Northcote. ...

24.01.2022 The pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges. Many of us have lost work, gained carer responsibilities and grappled with social isolation. Experts have warned of a looming wave of mental illness as a result. Research suggests they’re largely correct. Surveys in Australia, the UK and the USA point to rates of depression, anxiety and suicidal thinking substantially higher than in previous years. But over time, people have changed how they have responded to the threat of COVI...D-19. Google searches have shifted from the harm of the pandemic itself to ways of dealing with it, such as exercising and learning new skills. http://ow.ly/HjPu50BME16

24.01.2022 When injured it makes sense to go and see the physio, but it’s also important to consider the impact your diet has on your injury and how it may assist your recovery and rehab to fast track your return to sport.

20.01.2022 The pandemic lockdowns and other containment measures during the past six months and counting have altered almost every aspect of our lives, affecting our work, family, education, moods, expectations, social interactions and health.

15.01.2022 Regular exercise changes the structure of our bodies’ tissues in obvious ways, such as reducing the size of fat stores and increasing muscle mass. Less visible, but perhaps even more important, is the profound influence exercise has on the structure of our brains an influence that can protect and preserve brain health and function throughout life. In fact, some experts believe that the human brain may depend on regular physical activity to function optimally throughout ou...r lifetime. http://ow.ly/7QU550Cubjn

11.01.2022 It’s that time of year when many of us are setting goals for the year ahead. The most common New Year’s resolution set by 59% of us - is to exercise more. But our research suggests the way we typically set goals in exercise often doesn’t work. So, what should we do instead? Our research interviewing elite athletes suggests one possibility is to set open goals instead.... http://ow.ly/jdvU50CZXRC via The Conversation

03.01.2022 Everyone is unique, exercise doesn’t have a ‘one size fits all’ approach that’s why it’s great that there are SO many options when it comes to exercise from your traditional DIY going for a run, to classes like Zumba, or new workout inventions such as Barre Body Classes. However, what everyone does have in common is that if you don’t enjoy doing it, you won’t do it for very long! http://ow.ly/P7Jk50CnNPv
