25.01.2022 Ever wondered why Physios ask about your spine when you have arm or leg pain? The reason is referred pain. Checkout the dermatome chart to see where different levels of the spine can innervate the skin.... Making things more complex, you can have pain in the leg that is coming from your lower back, without even feeling any issues in the lower back!

24.01.2022 Heres an interesting concept! Discs indeed do NOT slip. Negative descriptions and visualisations about certain phrases can heighten overall pain and sensitivity to pain.... Some imaging reports will often say a disc bulge but, what does this mean to you? It might not be as bad as you think... Always ask your physio about what certain diagnoses mean in relation to your condition and functional capacity!

24.01.2022 Great weather were having here in Adelaide! That often means people are outside maintaining the garden! A common complaint we see with gardening is low back pain ... Be sure to take regular breaks and try not to do everything all at once! If you do have back pain, our Physios here at Eastwood can get you back on track and out enjoying the sun again!

23.01.2022 Knee pain A common complaint we see here at Eastwood Physio. Especially now we are well and truly into the colder months of Winter But what is exactly is causing your knee pain? ... There is a plethora of possible sources to your pain - tendon, knee cap mal-tracking, joint surfaces, muscle, ligament, cartilage. Our physios can get you back on track with doing the things you love and give your a clear indication of what is causing your knee pain! Book online or call us on 8271 8007

22.01.2022 More interesting stories coming out regarding rehab vs surgery for ACL injuries. Something to consider with most knee injuries and the potential for surgery

22.01.2022 Just a follow up on our exercise prescription post! This video probably shows what not to do at the gym But, what should/shouldn't you be doing if you have a spondylolisthesis? or spinal canal stenosis? or a supraspinatus tear?... All are very good questions that can be answered by your physio! We can also talk with your personal trainer or exercise physiologist to help give you a personalised program that is safe and effective

01.01.2022 The high ankle sprain AKA syndesmosis injury Seemed to be a common issue in the AFL this year! This injury happens when the foot is caught underneath a player getting tackled.... Anatomically, in severe cases this causes the two leg bones (tibia and fibula) to widen in weight bearing causing pain and instability! This is important to get assessed so that rehabilitation can begin. This injury can sometimes mean surgery!
