This time of the year we often make resolutions or set goals for the year ahead, especially around health and exercise. For a few pointers on setting realistic goals check out the new blog on my website. ... https://www.fionasamuel.physio//setting-realistic-exercise Take care and here’s to a happy and healthy 2021

21.01.2022 BACK TO BUSINESS (BUT DREAMING OF THIS BEACH) After an incredible 3 weeks in Western Australia, it was back to business today with a 5:10am alarm and a full day of Physio and Pilates clients. It was great to be back in the beautiful @union_pilates studio and my treatment room located there, and I’m so excited to be able to dedicate all my time and focus to my own business now that I am full time with FSPP. I won’t lie though, as I rugged up for the chilly early morning r...ide to work I was wishing I was still on this beautiful beach at @salsalisningaloo I’m available Monday - Friday in South Melbourne for Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates, click on the link in my bio to make an appointment online . . . . . #honeymoon #postholidayblues #fisamuelphysio #Physio #Physiotherapist #clinicalexercise #clinicalpilates #Pilates #pilatesinstructor #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #injurymanagement #exerciseismedicine #southmelbourne See more

20.01.2022 PUSH UP CHALLENGE | If you have been following my Instagram stories you’ll know that for the past 25 days I have been doing 25 push ups / day to raise awareness and money for Perinatal Anxiety and Depression @pandanational I have a number of friends and clients who are pregnant or have recently given birth, and during the COVID-19 pandemic I thought it was a wonderful cause to highlight as they provide amazing support for expecting and new parents, especially in this un...certain time. Thank you to those that have donated, those that helped me with my push ups and those that have put up with my social media spamming over the past 25 days. Hopefully I’ll take the little bit of strength I’ve gained in my upper body and keep up the effort to eventually be able to do a full-depth push up! . . . . . #25pushupchallenge #pushupchallenge #panda #perinatalmentalhealth #fisamuelphysio #flexsportsphysio #Physio #Physiotherapist #clinicalexercise #clinicalpilates #Pilates #pilatesinstructor #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #injurymanagement #exerciseismedicine #Melbourne

15.01.2022 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY | I am so grateful to have so many amazing women in my life to support me, guide me and inspire me. These lovely women (my mum and two of my bridesmaids, pictured here a couple of weeks ago on my hens day) are amazing role models. All have successful careers, are incredible mothers and and are the most generous of friends. I am so thankful to have them in my life, and all the other strong and inspiring women I have the honour of calling friends, fam...ily and work colleagues. Here’s to women, may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them . . . . . #iwd2021 #internationalwomensday #strongwomen #inspiringwomen #fisamuelphysio #Physio #Physiotherapist #clinicalexercise #clinicalpilates #Pilates #pilatesinstructor #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #injurymanagement #exerciseismedicine #southmelbourne See more

10.01.2022 PRE-WEDDING PARKRUN | It was a sensational morning for #parkrun this morning with a beautiful sunrise and no wind. Loved being pushed by my Parkrun community for a pre-wedding PB too! One more sleep then time to switch the runners for my dancing shoes!

09.01.2022 ARTWORK | So lovely to walk in this morning to this beautiful space, especially with this amazing new print by @themsggallery very kindly given to me by my number 1 supporter @raphdk for my birthday For years I’ve promised myself that when I finally have my own treatment space, I’d buy this incredible print of the anatomy of the hand bones by Maurice, as without my hands I couldn’t do what I do .... . . . . #artwork #hand #anatomy #bones #fisamuelphysio #Physio #Physiotherapist #clinicalexercise #clinicalpilates #Pilates #pilatesinstructor #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #injurymanagement #exerciseismedicine #southmelbourne See more

09.01.2022 MELBOURNE LOCKDOWN 2.0 | I was out running this morning and felt very thankful for the beautiful city where I live. Yes the next 6 weeks will be challenging, but we have done this before and we will get through this period of lockdown again. I know it can be hard to remain motivated and stick to healthy habits when routines are thrown out the door, the weather is cold and there aren’t the usual motivators (no sports to play, running events to train for, weddings to plan ...etc), but I encourage you all to keep moving, remain active and eat well both for physical and mental wellbeing. Whether a walk, run or ride, some fresh air and exercise is a great way to start the day. The team @flexsportsphysio will also be creating some more online content for Pilates and home strengthening programs for you to do at home. As Physiotherapy has been deemed an essential service, Flex Sports Physio will remain open and we will see clients face to face, with masks being the new normal. We will continue to offer telehealth (online video consultations) for those that are unable to come into the clinic. I will also endeavor to get back to posting more regular content online for some Pilates and injury rehabilitation that can be done at home. The past few months I’ve needed a break from being creative and putting myself out there online, but I hope to be able to provide some more inspiration for looking after yourself in the coming weeks. Take care Melbourne, let’s stay positive and kick this virus in the butt!

08.01.2022 MARGARET RIVER PARKRUN | After 2 weeks of indulging on our honeymoon on the Ningaloo Reef and in Broome it was time to put the runners on and work up a sweat (mainly so we can continue to indulge for the next week at wineries!) Definitely no PB but a stunning course along the Margaret River. Thanks @margaretriverparkrun for being enticing enough to drag @raphdk out of bed early on a Saturday on our holiday .... . . . . #parkrun #parkruntourist #honeymoon #margaretriver #fisamuelphysio #Physio #Physiotherapist #clinicalexercise #clinicalpilates #Pilates #pilatesinstructor #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #injurymanagement #exerciseismedicine #southmelbourne See more

07.01.2022 SHOULDERS | I love this little shoulder series I picked up from some of the amazing Pilates instructors @union_pilates, @katebeahan and @rachaelfraser_pilates With a focus on scapula movement out around the ribcage (rather than hitching the shoulders up to the ears) and shoulder strength, it also incorporates the obliques with the rotation component. I’m using a light (yellow) spring here and trust me you’ll feel the burn after 10 repetitions! So grateful to be working in this beautiful space surrounded by inspiring women Looking forward to being available to see clients for Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates full time in South Melbourne from April 19th!!

06.01.2022 R&R TIME!! After a pretty crazy 2020 time to take a break, relax and reset. Thank you to all my wonderful clients for your support this year. ... Wishing you all a very happy and restful holiday period, take care of yourselves and your loved ones. I’ll be back at work January 4th, already excited for all the big things to come in 2021!! ... . . . . . #fisamuelphysio #Physio #Physiotherapist #clinicalexercise #clinicalpilates #Pilates #pilatesinstructor #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #injurymanagement #exerciseismedicine #southmelbourne

03.01.2022 ROLL UP | A great way to start the week and get the spine moving! There are many variations to this exercise on the mat, reformer and trapeze table, but here on the reformer I have the legs through the headrest and the straps around my forearms. Starting in a tall seated position (bend knees slightly if hamstrings limit the ability to sit in neutral), then tilt the pelvis backwards to start the roll down. The key is to let the hip flexors relax and initiate the movement with ...the posterior pelvic tilt, rather than lean the trunk backwards. Allowing the spine to go into a C curve as you roll back, keep the shoulders relaxed and eye gaze forwards. Hold at the lowest point you can before you feel like your legs want to lift up, then exhale to roll up, initiating the movement from the abdominals by drawing the rib cage down towards the hips. Once the shoulders are forwards of the hips, re-stack the spine on the pelvis into a tall seated position. This is a great exercise to train lumbopelvic disassociation, and work the abdominal muscles. Happy Monday and have a great week . . . . . #lumbopelvic #spinalmobility #abdominalexercise #pilatesrollup #fisamuelphysio #Physio #Physiotherapist #clinicalexercise #clinicalpilates #Pilates #pilatesinstructor #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #injurymanagement #exerciseismedicine #southmelbourne See more
