25.01.2022 At Anchorage Drive Physio, ongoing education is a huge part of our practice! On Friday evening we hosted Merv Optimise Rehab to learn more about programming for sport, the interference effect of other types of training and how to program optimally to reach goals quicker!

25.01.2022 Knee pain? Did you know a loss of 10% of weight, results in a 50% reduction in pain from osteoarthritis! Amazing!

24.01.2022 Great info on bursitis! Our knowledge on this has changed completely recently and we have much better ways of treating it now. If you are suffering from bursitis, give us a cl today.

24.01.2022 "Pink Batman, I know. But why not, its Valentines Day. Here are a few examples of why we should not base our pain management decisions or advice only on scans (if taken). We should always consider the whole situation. Treat the person, not the scan." Great post, made by @kristianEkstrom on Twitter. Your treatment should never be decided purely based on scans. Scans have been shown in the scientific evidence to have poor predictive and prognostic value for pain and disabili...ty. If you have pain or are concerned about scan findings, give a physios a call today! We can help guide your rehab and talk you through a variety of treatment options based on your individual presentation.

24.01.2022 It occurred to Pooh and Piglet that they hadnt heard from Eeyore for several days, so they put on their hats and coats and trotted across the Hundred Acre Wood to Eeyores house. Inside the house was Eeyore. "Hello Eeyore," said Pooh. ... "Hello Pooh. Hello Piglet" said Eeyore, in a glum sounding voice. "We just thought wed check on you," said Piglet, "because we hadnt heard from you, and so we wanted to know if you were okay." Eeyore was silent for a moment. "Am I okay?" he asked, eventually. "Well, I dont know, to be honest. Are any of us really okay? Thats what I ask myself. All I can tell you, Pooh and Piglet, is that right now I feel really rather sad, and alone, and not much fun to be around at all. Which is why I havent bothered you. Because you wouldnt want to waste your time with someone who is sad, and alone, and not much fun to be around at all, would you now." Pooh looked and Piglet, and Piglet looked at Pooh, and they both sat down, one on either side of Eeyore in his stick house. Eeyore looked at them in surprise. "What are you doing?" "Were sitting here with you," said Pooh, "because we are your friends. And true friends dont care if someone is feeling sad, or alone, or not much fun to be around at all. True friends are there for you anyway. And so here we are." "Oh," said Eeyore. "Oh." And the three of them sat there in silence, and while Pooh and Piglet said nothing at all; somehow, almost imperceptibly, Eeyore started to feel a very tiny little bit better. Because Pooh and Piglet were there. No more; no less. - AA Milne

22.01.2022 Do you have concerns about changes to private health on April 1st? Our services are unaffected! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to send us a PM

22.01.2022 Trivia Tuesday! Did you now, Chronic pain costs Australia 143 billion dollars every year! The best scientific evidence we have says that a multi-modal treatment plan with your physio, GP and other health professionals is the most effective treatment and costs the least amount of money.... If you suffer from chronic pain, give us a call or send us a message today. Our physios have extra training in pain science and can work with you to find the best solution to your pain.

21.01.2022 Trivia Tuesday! Did you know that running even 10 minutes a day, at a slow pace, decreases your risk of death from all causes by 29%?! Thats huge! You dont have to be a fast runner or a good runner! You just need to move more :)... Our physios are trained to help with building your capacity to run, and assisting with technical issues or load based issues to keep you running!

20.01.2022 Trivia Tuesday! Did you know, the biggest risk factor for getting a hamstring injury is having had a previous hamstring injury? Completing an eccentric strength program of Nordic hamstring exercise, has been shown to decrease the risk of re-injury by 85%!... If you have any queries about rehab options for your hamstrings, give our physios a call or send us a PM.

20.01.2022 Trivia Tuesday! Did you know that Opioid based medication isnt recommended for long term use for pain relief? Besides nasty side effects, it also effects the neuroimmune system in a way which actually INCREASES the pain experience!... If you have been on opioids for a long period for pain relief, there are lots of options to explore instead! A collaborative pain program with a physiotherapist and your GP has been shown to be effective and cost efficient. For more information, give us a call or send us a message today!

20.01.2022 At 32 weeks pregnant, Steph's #parkrun has definitely turned into a parkwalk! Did you find activity this weekend?

17.01.2022 So much has changed in our knowledge and treatment in the last 10 years! Are you getting up to date advice and treatment for your injury? Our structured and rigorous PD schedule ensures our physios are knowledgable and practiced in the latest treatment techniques and research to help you reach the best outcome as soon as possible!...

16.01.2022 Trivia Tuesday! Did you know that recreational runners have a lower incidence of osteoarthritis in hips and knees compared to the non-running population? A recent systematic review found the incidence of OA in recreational runners was as low as 3.5%, compared to 10.2% in non-runners.... This actually indicates that running can be PROTECTIVE for joints! So much for that myth of running being too much impact on your hips and knees! If you are keen to get started or return to running, give us a buzz and we can help manage your load and strength to get you moving!

16.01.2022 New, evidence-based acronym for management of injuries! (With the idea to replace the old RICER) As our evidence changes, so should our advice PEACE (acute injury management) & LOVE (ongoing management)... Courtesy of BJSM

16.01.2022 Did you know that exercise if done appropriately, can actually have an antiinflammatory effect? Our physios have extra training in exercise prescription and are happy to help you with exercise if you have pain or injuries, or if you need a place to begin! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2720537671355705&id=703304466412379

14.01.2022 Our physios are always looking for opportunities to extend their scope of practice and learn new things. Our physio, Steph, was in Geelong last week at the Australian International Parabadminton event! She is now a national classifier in the sport!

14.01.2022 Steph is on her way home today after spending the weekend in Tasmania learning from Internationally renowned pain scientist, Lorimer Moseley. Ongoing education is a key goal for our physios and opportunities like this are too good to pass up! Courses like these allow us to learn new and updated information to assist with better managing your pain!... Steph managed to sneak in a Parkrun and a mountain climb while she was there too!

13.01.2022 We are committed to delivering the best rehab and advice for your injuries and performance. As part of this commitment, our staff partake ongoing education with experts! Thanks to Merv Optimise Rehab for our latest PD on strength and conditioning for physios!

12.01.2022 Trivia Tuesday! Did you know that changes or "damage" on imaging (MRI/x-ray/ultrasound/CT scan) have a poor correlation with symptoms and prognosis! A systematic review in 2018 found that 43% of people over 40 without knee problems, had significant cartilage defects on MRI, 19% had Meniscal tearing and 18% had bone lesions and spurring.... THESE PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE PAIN OR CHANGES IN FUNCTION! Studies like this add to our body of knowledge telling us that imaging is not diagnostic of problems, nor predictive of symptoms. A good clinical assessment of your pain is essential to get the best diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

11.01.2022 Steph has been working with the athletes of the Arafura Games this week in Darwin! The team was made up of high quality, experienced sports physios and sports physicians, and presented an excellent, world-class care team for the athletes. Steph has managed to sneak in a Parkrun before heading home this afternoon!
