25.01.2022 Have you suffered from ACHILLIES TENDONITIS? .

Understanding this is really important for the load management of runners who combine indoor and outdoor training. .

23.01.2022 GETTING BACK TO HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING Building your exercise routine gradually is key. HIIT (High Intensity training) improves cardiometabolic risk factors...What does this mean...?... Batacan et. al. 2017 found that at least 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) improved risk factors: Waist circumference % body fat Resting heart rate Systolic blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure The above were improved in an overweight and obese population group, however HIIT is relevant for us all and we all need to be particularly careful at present with impacts to our exercise routines and trying to return to exercising, the gym and fitness classes. Although there are many benefits to HIIT we must take into consideration that we are doing exercise for long term gains. So if you are moving off the couch and into a new routine HIIT is something to build to not start with. Remember injury is a major cause for people to give up and these injuries often result from poor load management. What is poor load management? Getting into high intensity interval training too quickly. Remember to build back up gradually to minimise risk of injury/ies. #staysafe #highintensitytraining #HIIT #exercise #loadmanagement #physiotip #physio #fitness #returningtosport #exercise #cyclelife #treklife #familyexercise #saproud #northadelaide #bodyfit #bodyfitphysiolife @ North Adelaide, South Australia

16.01.2022 MOVE IT Achieving physical activity regularly needs to be a priority. We all go through times when it starts to seem hard to fit in. Prioritising it as essential for the health of your body and mind is pertinent. ... 'Physical inactivity contributed 10 - 20% of the individual disease burden from diabetes, bowel cancer, uterine cancer, dementia, breast cancer, coronary heart disease and stroke' (AIHW 2019). For the complete article visit: www.aihw.gov.au//i/contents/insufficient-physical-activity (Last updated Oct. 2020) It refers to the Australian Guidelines of Physical Activity for each of the age categories: 2 - 5 years 5 - 17 years 18 - 64 years 65 and over Unless this information is reminded to us we can become complacent and 'just too busy' with life. We hope that posts like this are healthy ways to remind how important being physically active is for all ages. Priority of this needs to be at the forefront of our minds. Limiting screen and sitting time is important for all ages groups.

10.01.2022 YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY SHOES! Did you know that rather than just sticking to your one favourite pair, that using different pairs of running shoes has been shown to be associated with significantly less risk of injury? This makes sense, as changing shoes can change how the load is applied to our body, rather than applying it to the same structures in the same way every time we run - and varying the loads we apply to our body can be a really useful strategy in preven...ting overuse injuries of all types. Different shoes can best suit different scenarios - for example using lighter shoes when doing speedwork, and more cushioned & supportive shoes on a long run. Prevention of running injuries is down to much more than just shoes, however shoes definitely play a role - and these simple tips can help keep you on your feet! #bodyfitphysio #bodyfitphysiolife #physio #sportsphysio #running #shoes

07.01.2022 TOP 5 GLUT MED Strengthening Exercises A study conducted by Boren et al. (2011) explored the EMG activity of the gluteal musculature during 18 common strengthening exercises. They determined that by knowing the % maximal voluntary muscle contraction of the gluts during these exercises would therefore correlate to potential gains in muscle strength. The top 5 Gluteus Medius exercises: ... 1. Side plank abduction (dominant leg on bottom) 2. Side plank abduction (dominant leg on top) 3. Single leg squat 4. Clamshell (progression 4) 5. Front plank with hip extension The glut med is a vital muscle in everyday activity. Its main role is to help stabilise the pelvis and prevent the opposite side from dropping while walking, running and single leg weight-bearing (e.g., climbing stairs). Although the functionality of these exercises may seem questionable, they are very effective at glut med activation and may benefit you at some point along your rehab journey. #physio #strongglutes #physiotherapy #injuryprevention #injuryrecovery #injurypreventiontraining #northadelaide #northadelaidephysio #bodyfitphysio #bodyfitphysiolife

02.01.2022 WILL RUNNING WEAR OUT MY JOINTS AS I GET OLDER? This is a common question we're asked - as it's a widely-held belief amongst many people that clocking up the km's sets up their joints for arthritis down the track. So, it's time for some myth busting!... In fact, there's a huge amount of research out there showing NO link between running and the development of arthritis (& we've listed some here!). Indeed, there's even some research to suggest that runners were actually less likely to have arthritis than non-runners, & had better joint health as they aged. Our joints & cartilage are living structures, and need a certain amount of load & activity to keep them strong and in good repair - and running seems to tick those boxes. Now, running an ultra-marathon every day will probably tip the balance towards being excessive - but for most of us, getting out & going for a run regularly is likely to be a good thing rather than a bad thing for our long-term joint health.
