22.01.2022 This is something I have spoken to my friends, training partners and loved ones about. Fatigue is fatigue regardless of the cause. We compartmentalise our lives in our minds but our brains/bodies are just big sacks of fluid and cells, they can't differentiate different stresses. Monitor and manage your fatigue (or get a little help to), because training under too much fatigue can lead to injury. https://www.facebook.com/warriorperform/posts/10153919596802463

20.01.2022 This doesn't explain HOW myofascial release works, but they are very nice illustrations of which muscle is getting worked in different position

19.01.2022 A great update on current methodologies in dealing with chronic pain in case you missed it on catalyst last night: https://www.facebook.com/IamPhysiotherapy//970735426349452/ Lorimer Moseley, David Butler and the NOI group have been education on this topic for many years now, check out their website www.noigroup.com for great resources.

18.01.2022 You can't separate your 'self' from your body. It is one, and one affects the other. Treat them both well.

18.01.2022 Chronic Ankle Instability, inversion injury, recurrent rolling, whatever you call it, it’s painful, inconvenient and the more you do it, the more likely you are to keep doing it unless you do something about it to break the cycle. The ‘ankle’, when it is rolled actually involves 3 joints. These joints work together to maintain you in an upright balanced position with the assistance of perfectly coordinated muscles movements. Each time you move your ankle or put your foot d...own on the ground to take your weight these muscles and joints are feeding information back and forth from your brain in fractions of a second to keep you moving along smoothly. Sometimes accidents happens, eg. rough ground or just an extra unexpected load and the muscle coordination of the ankle fails. The result is that the joints are not held and you 'roll'. Muscles and ligaments are stretched and/or torn, tendons are stretched or pulled from the bone, other connective tissues and nerves are damaged and in very serious injuries bones can be broken or bruised. Initially you RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) and in some cases that may be enough to stop the excessive swelling and get you back to doing normal activity and all is well. But in a lot of cases, the tissues heal, but they heal imperfectly or incompletely leaving you likely to keep doing the same thing. Each time the same injury happens the tissues become a little less able to cope. What is needed is a thorough and systematic rehab plan that addresses range of motion, strength, coordination and neural control and ultimately sport specific skills. I have included a link to a simple exercise regime. This is a generic program that addresses the basics and will give you a good start to rehabbing a basic sprained ankle, BUT it is by no means comprehensive and cannot replace an assessment and individualised program that you would get when you see a physiotherapist. I have written a more comprehensive article explaining the mechanisms of ‘ankle rolling’ and talked in more detail about the anatomy, grades of injury, rehab goals and factors that influence recovery. This article will be available on the website www.bodyfixtherapy.com.au in the coming weeks. Simple rehabilitation plan. http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net///ankle-sprain-exercises

17.01.2022 Keep 'em moving. People ask me all the time "what position should I sit in?" "Do I need a standing desk?" No one position is 'good', and yes, the option to stand is a good one, but standing still for 8hrs or sitting still for 8 hrs are both poor options. MOTION IS LOTION, keep changing position. https://www.facebook.com/IamPhysiotherapy/posts/1000102466746081:0

16.01.2022 A simple summary of muscle building and a timely follow-up from my post earlier tonight... Rest is essential for lowering stress, reducing fatigue and getting those gains.

09.01.2022 Many years ago I sat through a talk about concussion given by a local sports doctor, he emphasised strongly that concussion was temporary and totally reversible. At the time I thought "this is all wrong, he's filling these people's minds with false information". I didn't stand up and question him, perhaps because I was young and he was a doctor or perhaps because I wanted to believe what he was saying was true. The link below is to a nice article that summarises current res...earch. Although this is about one doctor's findings, this is in line with broader research. I am by no means suggesting that we stop all sports that involve heavy contact (certainly not, I love the fight game), but I do think we need to be aware of the facts and take proper measures to protect ourselves and those most vulnerable, eg. children. http://theconversation.com/what-does-concussion-do-to-the-b See more

07.01.2022 Get ready! Get excited! Just don't get injured. BodyFix is coming to Sydney's number 1 gym in FEBRUARY.

04.01.2022 An area that I have been interested in for many years is chronic pain. Below is a link a link to a government initiative designed to educate and therefore help sufferers. I recommend that anyone who suffers with chronic pain have a look around this site, knowledge and understanding have been proven time and time again to reduce the pain experience. Begin with the tab 'For Everyone', 'Introduction to pain'. Note: chronic pain is not pain that is acute and resulting from a recent injury. That is a different thing, and more to come on that. http://www.aci.health.nsw.gov.au/chronic-pain

02.01.2022 Business cards are in!!! While the premises is being prepared, I am seeing a very limited number of clients. Message through Facebook or via my website www.bodyfixtherapy.com.au and I will endeavour to see you. We know injury and soreness don't wait.

01.01.2022 It's getting closer and closer... While we wait for the premises to be ready, I'd like to discuss common complaints and injuries. The internet is awash with information about what to do with 'this pain' or 'that restriction'; some of its good and some of its not so good. I know that what is good for one person, doesn't necessarily work for another, so we need a range of treatment options. __________________________________________ Write your injury, complaint, restriction or niggle in the comments and I will add it to my list of blog posts that I'm going to write.
