24.01.2022 Important Health Update from Eric St Physiotherapy - https://mailchi.mp//important-health-update-from-eric-st-p

24.01.2022 Its , and this one is for all those working from home! Poor ergonomics can drive musculoskeletal problems. So here are some simple tips: Desk height - just below forearms & feet flat on floor (if you have to raise seat height place a box/books under your feet instead).... Desktop - ~50-60cm away (an arm's length), eyes in line with top 1/3 of monitor. Keyboard / mouse - ~10-20cm in front of desk edge, and mouse adjacent to this. Chair - good support for upper & lower back, have a slight lean back (~10deg). If your only option is a dining room chair () then place a cushion underneath bottom & a rolled towel behind lower back. Standing desk - if you have a hard floor, wear good shoes! Transitioning straight into standing can be a shock for the body - trial 30min intervals initially. Laptop - if youre using a lot, it pays to invest in an external keyboard & mouse. A laptop riser is also invaluable! (Can get relatively cheap online). Pull your chair close, have forearms supported, and eye level at top 1/3 of screen. If your using a laptop on the couch/in bed/at the kitchen bench - short bouts only! Unless you want to come see us Physios Most importantly, its not HOW you sit it's HOW LONG you sit for. Try and get off the chair/change position every 30-60mins. You can have an ideal set-up, but sitting for long periods can be problematic. There are great apps you can use as break reminders: TimeOut (Mac), Awareness (Mac, PC), Microbreaks (google chrome), Stand Up! The work break timer (iPhone). And if youre stuck for ideas, this video shows you a short 2min stretch break you can do at your desk! See more

23.01.2022 Runners part two: feel those buns burn :) Single leg bridge (targeting posterior chain strength, primarily gluteus maximus) Place foot on either a box, bench or the edge of your couch. Make sure this knee is at about a 90 degree angle. The other leg is in the air in a 90/90 position. Using glutes, press hips up to ceiling (making sure to go all the way, until your hip is open at the top), at a tempo of 2 counts up/2 counts down. ... The goal is 25 reps (full range of motion, no cheating!) - are you symmetrical between sides?

17.01.2022 ! With recent changes seeing the closure of gyms and team sports, there has been an increase in people running. This is great news, the body gets stronger when loaded! However, we have also seen an increase in running-related injuries presenting to the clinic. This typically happens when LOAD exceeds a tissue's CAPACITY/TOLERANCE. Put simply: when you have increased your running rapidly and your muscles/tendons/joints dont have the strength/re...silience they need to tolerate it. We want you to stay active, but also injury and pain-free. This coming week we will be sharing some posts for our runners, so stay tuned! If you are a runner with a niggle that has just started (or maybe has been brewing for a while) our advice is to seek an assessment and management plan early on. It will keep you running for many years to come (and hopefully with improved economy and speed too)! See more

The APA continues to monitor this changing situation closely and will provide you with advice and guidance as it becomes available.

13.01.2022 A fantastic infographic published by @bjsm_bmj looking at exercise progressions for women looking to return to running postnatally. At 6 weeks postpartum the pelvic floor has only regained ~55% of its tensile strength, at 6-7 months it has regained ~80%. Your body needs time to heal, and also to regain the strength required to return to running safely. :... Book in with your Womens Health Physio before return, they can perform an individualised assessment of pelvic floor health and general muscle strength. They can also prescribe a guided pelvic floor rehab program for prevention of prolapse and management of urinary incontinence. Prior to returning focus on low impact exercise options - particularly working on pelvic floor, core and leg muscle strength (under the guidance of your Physio). Additionally build your cardio fitness with options such as static cycling (if comfy!) and swimming (once wound healing achieved). Returning to running is , OR if there are any symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. . When you do return to running, start small (walk - jog intervals). Gradually build this over the following weeks/months (a 10% weekly increase in distance or time is a good way to progress). Thanks @physiomumuk @running.physio @absolute.physio for this research!

06.01.2022 Some little updates in our end of year news - https://mailchi.mp/ericstphysiotherapy/end-of-year-news

06.01.2022 ? A WH Physio can manage issues related to the bladder, bowel & sexual function. They may also manage conditions that occur in pregnancy and postpartum recovery. They offer management of:... Incontinence (bladder and bowel) Pelvic floor issues Prenatal exercise Post-natal health (including abdominal separation/diastasis, blocked ducts/mastitis, safely returning to exercise) Sexual pain Pregnancy-related pelvic pain Up to 45% of women will experience urinary incontinence in their lifetime! And this is not just mums, a study has shown that almost 1/4 of young, fit women who have never had children also reported stress urinary incontinence! Luckily, there is solid evidence backing proper assessment and pelvic floor training by a WH Physio. In fact, a South Australian study showed up to 84% of women with incontinence are cured with Physiotherapy. This needs to be individualised and performed by a Physio with adequate training in the area. In France, women are offered 10 free Physiotherapy sessions as part of standard post-partum care. Maternal care is not a luxury, it is a necessity and we think our new mums need more support and attention. Many women dont even know there is help out there! Heres to hoping that Australia is as progressive as France in the future, but in the meantime our WH Physio Jess has you covered! Bookings with Jess can be made online: http://www.ericstphysiotherapy.com.au/online-bookings See more

04.01.2022 Physio Caroline and Taryn from FitRight showing some exercises to help you to get strong to get up from the floor This is a goodie for mums (and grandparents) to get up from the floor holding a baby

04.01.2022 ! Runners can be notorious for neglecting strength-based work, however ~2 strength sessions/wk is hugely important for not only injury prevention but also performance! Whilst your Quad (Vasti) muscles are your workhorses in running, and your hip flexors & hamstrings work hard in sprinting, its your soleus (calf) that is highly loaded at all speeds of running. Runners, you need to be STRONG in these muscles groups. So ...let's put some spotlight on soleus! Try these 3 simple exercises at home: 1. - single leg on step. See how many reps of these you can do until fatigue (or you lose your form) - Runners you should be getting 25 good quality reps! If you fatigue well before then, you may be at risk of a lower limb injury. Aim to complete the number of reps you need to fatigue, then repeat on the other side. Tip: Keep the same knee bend throughout the entire movement. 2. + - aim for 12 reps x 2 sets of these. If thats easy, then add load (e.g. a couple of dumbbells, weighted plate or barbell across your lap). 3. + , . To progress add a hop (Runners - plyometrics are also important!). Aim to complete 10 reps x 2 sets of these, but if that is easy - then add the jump! Remember, quality > quantity. Ensure you are maintaining equal weight in the big & little toe when you move into your calf raise (a lot of people shift more weight through the outside of their foot, causing the ankle to roll out and lessening the calf work). Slow it down - control your heel lowering. Dont claw those toes! In your lunge work, keep your hips level and your knee in good alignment (no collapsing inwards). Soleus strengthening should be non-negotiable for every runner. However, if you are suffering from achilles or ankle/foot pain it may be best to chat to a Physio before you jump straight into these exercises. Book in with one of our experienced Physios and we will get you back on track See more

03.01.2022 If you have back pain and you are worried that is something seriously wrong with your back, have it checked by a professional that can provide an evidence based approach. Our physiotherapists are highly qualified to manage back pain conditions. Give us a call on 93849374 if you need help managing your back pain.

03.01.2022 is the theme for our mobility monday. This one is important for rotational sports - swimmers, golfers, hockey & tennis players - this is you! But it also just feels good if you are stuck at a desk all day and have a stiff back. Freeing up your thoracic spine can also have positive effects on neck or lower back tightness too. So just how good is your rotation?... Try our 3 versions of kneeling rotation: 1. Half kneeling with front knee & hip against wall (this helps to keep your pelvis/hips still)- rotate away from wall. You can allow your front arm to slide forward as you rotate. Can you reach all the way back to the wall? 2. This time the front knee presses into a ball (or even a small foam roller) - rotate towards wall, reaching arm up and over in a semi-circle movement. You can lightly press through the front arm to push a little further into range. 3. Active rotation - switch legs, this time the outside leg is forward. Using a light band rotate away from the wall, pulling through resistance. Slowly control back to start position, without the band pulling you. To increase the oblique work, use a heavier band! Tip: Your neck (cervical spine) and the upper thoracic spine move together, so allow your head to turn when you are rotating - this will give you greater movement. See more

01.01.2022 Mobility Monday - Runners edition With gyms temporarily closed and many people working from home, there has been an increase in running for fitness during this time! More people out running is good news but it can also bring about an increased risk of potential injury if you are new to running or push yourself too hard too soon ... As well as an adequate full body warm-up prior to your run, pacing yourself during your run and stretching afterwards, some areas we think are important to mobilise PRIOR to your run are: Hips - especially into extension as you need to allow your legs to travel behind the line of your body during your run thoracic spine rotation - as the ability to rotate will help optimise your biomechanics and reduce lateral and unnecessary load on the joints. Try out these simple mobility exercises to open up the hips next time you go for a run. If you are experiencing pain during or after your run, come in and see one of our experienced physios for treatment, advice and load management to reduce the risk of injury! We are taking new as well as returning patients - call reception on 9384 9374 To make a booking today Follow us on Instagram for full post: https://www.instagram.com/ericstphysio/?hl=en
