25.01.2022 Did you know that regular exercise can reduce your risk of developing some cancers? But it's not just that... For those who have been diagnosed with cancer, exe...rcise (prescribed by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist) can help to manage symptoms and improve outcomes during treatment and recovery. It's a great reminder that exercise isn't just about keeping you fit and maintaining a healthy weight... Movement truly is medicine! #MovementisMedicine #ExerciseRightWeek2020
25.01.2022 Strength training is often forgotten about. Although approximately half of Australian adults get 150 minutes of physical activity each week, only 15% meet the N...ational Strength Training Guidelines. Strength training not only helps to make you stronger and more mobile, it can also increase bone density which reduces your risk of osteoporosis. Doing regular resistance training can also help with weight management. To maintain health, it is recommended that those aged 18 - 64 do strength training exercises at least twice each week. Sadly, only half of Australian universities are teaching our future doctors about these guidelines. If you'd like to learn how to start strength training safely, talk to your GP about a referral to an appropriately qualified exercise professional. Or find your local Accredited Exercise Physiologist here: essa.org.au/find-aep #ExerciseRight #ExerciseIsMedicine
24.01.2022 1 in 5 Australians aged 45 and over are living with persistent, ongoing pain. Chronic pain can result from injury, surgery, musculoskeletal conditions such as a...rthritis, osteoporosis and back pain, and other medical conditions. Research clearly shows that exercise can reduce pain and improve function in people with musculoskeletal pain. It's common for people with pain to lose their confidence with movement or worry that physical activity will make their pain worse. In reality, the long term effect is a further decrease in function and increased pain. Exercising with pain is SAFE and ESSENTIAL on your road to recovery. Accredited Exercise Physiologists are university qualified allied health professionals trained in exercise prescription for chronic conditions. They will work with you to design an exercise intervention that is specific to YOU. Find an expert near you: www.essa.org.au/find-aep #ExerciseRight #NPW2020

05.01.2022 YOU ARE NOT YOUR MRI MRIS FOR LOW BACK PAIN CAN CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD Mike had the unique opportunity to spend 4 months treating in China. Sadly, the peop...le there have an extremely low level of education and understanding of their health. Every day in the clinic, we battled not just construed cultural enigmas (my back hurts because of the cold wind), but also improper education/advice (my doctor told me if I do anything more vigorous than walking my nerve will impinge and I will be paralyzed). One of the biggest reasons why Craig, Arash, and I started The Prehab Guys’ in the first place was to inject some truth and science into the fitness and health industries. Proper education on your movement system, from why you experience pain to self-management strategies, GO A LONG WAY in making this world a much better and happier place. Education is power.

02.01.2022 4 EXERCISES TO IMPROVE FOOT STRENGTH The function of the foot is extremely important to the overall musculoskeletal function of the body. The foot is the base ...of support for most everyday activities. Like a game of Jenga, if the base is not solid, the entire structure will lean, wobble, and eventually collapse. If the musculature of the foot is not properly functioning, many structures both locally and globally will be affected. The intrinsic muscles of the feet become deconditioned over time due to ill-fitting shoes, tight socks, and even some orthotics. Due to cramped spaces and the inability of the joint to function in its natural range of motion, our brains lose the neurological connection to the muscles of our feet, causing compensations. Luckily, neuroplasticity (the ability for our brains to change the neural circuits to our bodies) dictates that it is possible to improve and even reverse chronic instability of the foot, and thus joint pathologies and pain. This article will show you exercises to improve foot strength! https://buff.ly/2kMALG0 #TPG #ThePrehabGuys
01.01.2022 An estimated 100,000 Australian’s are living with Parkinson’s Disease and suffer from rigidity, restricted walking ability and limitations with other motor func...tions. Current research shows that exercise is important for individuals with neurological conditions as it not only improves cardiorespiratory fitness, but also muscle strength. This in turn has shown to have positive effects on managing symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease.
