24.01.2022 Amazing pain stories to show you all how complicated it really is! As previously mentioned, the easiest example of pain is when you touch something hot As you touch it, you quickly take your hand away and you feel pain in the area that was touching the hot object. But as you turn your hand around, you see that you haven’t burned yourself or caused any harm, and your pain quickly subsides. This is generally the most common experience people can relate to. But these next ...examples are incredible! A man who was working on a construction site stepped off his ladder and onto a nail. The nail passed right through his boot and he was instantly in extreme pain. When he presented to the hospital, he was in so much pain they needed to apply an anaesthetic in order to get his boot off. When the surgeons took the boot off, they were amazed. The nail itself hadn’t caused any damage to the worker as had passed between his 1st and 2nd toe, without even piercing the skin. This person was experiencing extreme levels of pain, yet they had no injury whatsoever! Just the sight of the nail passing through his boot was enough to trigger a huge pain response. On the other end of the scale, similar examples of this are sporting athletes who play extremely important matches, such as grand finals, and get injuries such as broken bones or muscle tears and can still play on with minimal pain. Yet after the match you will find out their injury is quite severe. Amputees can quite often experience phantom limb pain, where they can still feel pain in the area of their body that they have had removed. These examples show just how confusing pain can be and that the brain’s response to trauma can appear to misrepresent the physical severity of injury #pain #painisinyourhead #confusing #phantomlimbpain #bodyplushealth #bphealth #health #physiotherapy #exercisephysiology #rehabilitation #massagetherapy #groupexerciseclasses #workplacehealth #stonyfell #adelaide

11.01.2022 Cool down! After finishing an exercise session, whether it is your chosen sport or at the gym, you’re likely going to be feeling very tired and it can be very tempting to end your session there and just go home! Stop ... One of the key components of your training session is at the end - the cool down! Many people can find cooling down boring and not adding to their exercise session. Cool down principles: Short (approximately 5-10 minutes) Target the areas that you have been training Low intensity active movement (eg. a gentle jog) --> keeps your blood flowing to help remove any metabolic by-products from your muscles from your workout, such as lactic acid Gentle stretching of the muscle groups you trained --> helps to relax your muscles; increase their range of motion; help to prevent that feeling of stiffness and soreness the following day Take home message: Just like warm ups, cool downs are also an essential part of a training session and should not be neglected as they can reduce your risk of injury. #cooldown #reduceinjury #stretch #lacticacid #recover #bodyplushealth #bphealth #health #physiotherapy #exercisephysiology #rehabilitation #massagetherapy #groupexerciseclasses #workplacehealth #stonyfell #adelaide

10.01.2022 Should we all look the same whilst exercising? For many people who exercise and go to the gym, something I’m sure you’ve heard from your personal trainers or physiotherapists is that your technique is most important. However, whilst technique is extremely important to ensure you’re training safely and effectively, everyone will not look the same whilst performing their exercises.... But why is this? Why is it that so many people look completely different whilst performing the same exercise? Not every person has the same anatomical shape. Some people have longer bones, other people have longer torsos and other people have tighter muscles. This can mean that when performing movements, two people can look very different, yet they can both be completing the exercise safely and effectively. So, when you’re in the gym don’t entirely compare your technique to others. If you’re unsure your technique is correct, it’s always best to ask a qualified professional for some help #technique #bodyshape #wearealldifferent #exercise #bodyplushealth #bphealth #health #physiotherapy #exercisephysiology #rehabilitation #massagetherapy #groupexerciseclasses #workplacehealth #stonyfell #adelaide

09.01.2022 Warm up! Something that is often neglected before doing any form of training, whether it is gym work or sport of any kind, is our warm up! Warm ups play a big part at helping to reduce the risk of injury, but studies have also shown that an effective warm up can help to prime your muscles and improve your performance ... One question we commonly get asked as clinicians is "should we have the same warm up every time?" The answer is yes and no! You should always plan your warm up ahead - think about what you’re going to be doing/training and focus on primarily warming up those areas first. You should never just sit there and ‘wing’ it, but you shouldn’t be primarily warming up your arms if you’re going to be doing exercises that involve your legs Try to make your warm up active or dynamic, whether that be moving the muscle groups through their range of motion or gentle whole body movements etc Sitting and stretching or foam rolling will not be a sufficient warm up! Finally, try to keep your warm up short. You do not need to spend ages warming up. You should be spending a maximum of ten minutes, otherwise you will be using up your valuable training time! #warmup #preparation #active #dynamic #bodyplushealth #bphealth #health #physiotherapy #exercisephysiology #rehabilitation #massagetherapy #groupexerciseclasses #workplacehealth #stonyfell #adelaide
