25.01.2022 And were OPEN! What were doing to combat COVID? 1. Social distancing measures in place (but these were already adhered to ) ... 2. Each machine now has your own disinfectant spray bottle, paper towel, resistance band and equipment. This all needs to be sanitised at the end of each class. 3. Hand sanitiser provided upon entry into the studio. Luckily, most of these measures were already in place. I have done my COVID checklist and Im ready to welcome you back! I will be running a different class each day/night of the week to work in with those people doing two or more classes per week. Monthly classes will be on display in the studio. Classes begin at 5pm and 6pm tonight. Im excited to see you all! For bookings please PM. See Facebook page for classes and pricing. Love ONE HAPPY PHYSIO!

18.01.2022 FUNCTIONAL FRIDAY - Winging Scapular Strengthening - Series 2. Winging of the scapular results when the muscles of the scapular are too weak or paralysed resulting a limited ability to stabilise the scapular. As a result, the medial border of the scapular protrudes (like wings). ... This can result in shoulder pain. It can be caused by a neurological deficit resulting in serratus anterior muscle paralysis. This muscle inserts along the medial border of the scapular and runs along the first 8 ribs and aids in pulling the scapular forward around the thorax, preventing a winging scapular. This dysfunction can be attributed to traumatic, non-traumatic and idiopathic lesions of the long thoracic nerve. Other causes can be attributed to musculoskeletal weakness involving the serratus anterior, trapezius muscles, rhomboids, latissimus dorsi and the levator scapulae muscles. This program is part two of the two part series on shoulder and scapular strengthening. It aims to prevent and reduce the occurrence of scapular winging and thus the accompanied shoulder pain. Try both programs on @caristonkin_physiotherapy Instagram page and let me know your thoughts.

16.01.2022 I have ONE SPOT AVAILABLE in tonights full body class at 5pm. Please PM to book your place.

14.01.2022 FUNCTIONAL FRIDAY Mobility is essential to injury prevention and optimising training performance. Many sports and training-related injuries are preventable. These injuries generally occur when a muscle or joint is stretched beyond its capacity. Without range of motion, performance will suffer. The solution to this? MOBILISE!!! Mobility incorporates flexibility and strength. It is crucial to help you squat deeper, push harder and jump higher. These exercises should alwa...ys compliment any training or sporting regime. Below is one of my favourite self-management exercises. Stiffness or lack of range of motion in your thoracic spine can increase the loading through your lower back +/- and increase the risk of injuries. Solution? Thoracic extension with foam roller - Place the foam roller in between your shoulder blades. Arch backwards over the foam roller, keeping your head and butt down. Interlock your fingers and bring your elbows together. Reach your arms over and back aiming to touch the floor behind you. Perform 10 repetitions then bring the roller a little lower down your rib cage and repeat. Dont have a foam roller? You can start by using a rolled up towel. When this becomes too easy, place a hairspray can or fly spray can in the towel to gain more extension through your back. For more FUNCTIONAL FRIDAY mobility exercises see @caristonkin_physiotherapy Instagram page. HAPPY FRIDAY

11.01.2022 FUNCTIONAL FRIDAY - Sciatic Pain Relief. Sciatica is a nerve pain that radiates from the lower back and down the leg due to compression of the large sciatic nerve.... Sciatic pain is generally the result of an underlying issue including, but not limited to, herniation, nerve impingement and muscular imbalances. A burning or shooting pain and sometimes numbness and tingling can present from the lower back and radiate down one leg. Physiotherapy is the primary focus for treating, relieving and preventing the symptoms of sciatica. It involves a progressive exercise and mobility program targeted at treating the underlying cause of the condition. This may include stretching (for those with a shortened piriformis muscle) and strengthening (for those with lengthened piriformis muscle). Promoting movement along the nerve can help reduce symptoms and provide some temporary relief. For #strengthening exercises please see my Strengthening Your Glutes program. Head to my Instagram page @caristonkin_physiotherapy to see the full program!

09.01.2022 FUNCTIONAL FRIDAY - Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy Rehabilitation. This condition primarily effects the Achilles’ tendon insertion into the back of the heel bone (calcaneus). It can cause pain, swelling and restriction in the ankle joint. Pain may present first thing in the morning, worsens with activity and is severe the day after activity. ... IAT is caused by compression at the end of range dorsiflexion of the ankle. It may result when we push our bodies to do too much too soon but can also result from a sudden increase in the amount or intensity of exercise, tight calf muscles or a calcaneal bone spur where the Achilles inserts. It is commonly seen in runners, especially hill runners, and is associated with a bump at the back of the heel called a haglund deformity. Treatment should initially focus on managing load by reducing end of range dorsiflexion (I.e walking uphill and wearing shoes which cause compression on the Achilles). Wearing shoes with a heel may help reduce load on the tendon whilst flat shoes or barefoot should be avoided during this stage. During this stage DO NOT stretch your calf muscles. Initial stages should focus on isometric calf raises (I.e. lifting up on your toes and holding for 3x30-60 seconds 2-3 times per day). Once pain has settled, improve the load capacity of the muscle by improving calf strength as shown in this program. To see the full program please head to caristonkin_physiotherapy on Instagram. Please contact Caris Tonkin - Physiotherapy & Pilates for treatment for this condition.
