19.01.2022 Please everyone remember to support your local businesses in this difficult time They do it much harder than most people realise, often living week to week with cash flow struggles just like many people in society. They pay their staff wages and expenses before seeing an income for themselves. By supporting your local small businesses, you are helping to keep the average Australian employed. So keep buying your coffee from your local cafe, order dinner from a local restauran...t. Maybe order take away if you feel this is best, but dont forget about these people doing it tough. If airlines and other big businesses can go broke within the next 6 weeks, you can imagine that small businesses are in the same, if not worse situation. No one is immune to the health or economic impact of these crazy times. Attend your local dentist if needed, attend the restaurant with your partner or small family. If youre concerned, discuss it with them first. Apply excellent hygiene practices always. Maybe sit at a table away from others at a restaurant to ensure safe distances, Im sure this will be accommodated already. Be sensible about what you do and stay safe. #keepgettingyourcoffee Connect Physiotherapy

16.01.2022 Great post by @rehabscience: ---------- "A great illustration from @honest_physio that helps address a very common clinical misconception about... the relationship between knee joint noise (crepitus) and the development of pathology. - Almost every day in the clinic, I meet someone who is concerned about a noise that their body is making. The knee is one of the most common areas of concern as the joint behind our kneecap (patellofemoral joint) commonly makes popping and clicking noises. - It is extremely important that people understand that noises from the knee are usually not associated with pathology and may actually be a sign of a healthy, well-lubricated joint. lets be careful not to make people feel bad about their knee noise as it can negatively influence how they view their body! - So, if your knees are noisy and you dont have pain, dont worry about them. The noise is most likely due to the movement of fluid behind the kneecap and is not an indicator of a developing joint problem. Reference: Robertson CJ, et al. Peoples beliefs about the meaning of crepitus in patellofemoral pain and the impact of these beliefs on their behaviour: A qualitative study. Musculoskelet Sci Pract. 2017. . #RehabScience" .

13.01.2022 After your morning run/walk, try the humble burpee! What is a burpee? Its well known for being the most gruelling exercise created. BUT it reaps so many benefi...ts: Uses nearly all the muscles in the body Builds power Cardiovascular endurance 4 steps to the perfect burpee: Go to a squat position with hands on the ground Kick your feet back into a plank position and drop your chest down Jump the feet back to the starting squat Stand straight up or jump high, and give yourself a clap! Not confident? Focus on the control and your form when doing each step to avoid unnecessary stress on your ankles, knees and lower back. If you feel a loss of control or pain during this movement, stop what youre doing. You might benefit from chatting with your physio about your technique or other appropriate exercises to achieve your fitness goals. #stayfitsaturday #choosephysio #weekendworkout #burpees

05.01.2022 Ready to get back to the gym post-iso? Be sure to follow these tips from physios around Australia to make your return without injury as smooth as possible. Wa...rm-up and cool-down properly using stretching, foam-rolling and icing techniques to aid in your recovery. Drop your pre-iso weight by 20-30% and gradually increase the weight over four-eight weeks depending on your age and fitness level. Get your form checked by a professional and ensure you are controlled and slow in your repetitions. Dont go too hard, too early! Build up to your pre-iso levels as your muscles and tendons will have likely shrunk, making you more susceptible to injury. Check in with your local physio to avoid injury and manage your return to full capacity.
