21.01.2022 Meet our AWESOME Volunteer and Stroke Survivor, Ryan Ogden.. Ryan Ogden has been a physiotherapist in the Geelong region for more than 10 years. His special int...erest has been using exercise as a means to rehabilitate people from a broad range of injuries, including low back pain and post surgical, to sporting and work place injuries. Living in Torquay, Ryan was a mad keen surfer, fisherman and mountain biker. As an extremely fit and healthy 31 year old, it was a shock when Ryan suffered 2 major strokes requiring life saving surgery in 2012. After a year of grueling rehabilitation and learning how to do most things again (such as walking), it was demoralising when Ryan suffered a third stroke, by far the worst of the three. After more aggressive surgery and years of tedious rehab, amazingly Ryan is now back working as a physiotherapist. Although he has had to modify this treatment techniques, he says he is a more effective therapist these days. Recently Ryan completed studies in Applied Neuroscience and Brain Health. Combining this knowledge with his physiotherapy skills and own personal stroke experience, Ryan finds himself in a very special situation to help people. He is able to treat, rehabilitate and motivate people recovering from stroke and other neurological conditions. Ryan recently began volunteering at the Barwon Stroke Support Centre; prescribing stroke survivors with rehabilitation programmes. Ryan also works at East Geelong Medical Centre 3 days a week and HealthE Allied Services 1 day a week. Ryan is especially energised to assist people who have lost motivation in their rehab or whod like their rehab plans revised or revamped. Welcome to the Barwon Centre Volunteer Team, Ryan! Were so glad to have you a part of it!

21.01.2022 This young chippy came to see us earlier in the year complaining of lower back and mid thoracic pain. It was so bad at times he had to stop playing footy. After... a complete assessment a rehab program was designed using functional strength exercises in the gym to replicate his work environment as well as a comprehensive generalised strength and conditioning program using a combination of different lifts. He came in today after a particularly hard session and wanted some hands on therapy to ease his soreness. After some spinal manips and deep tissue work we used some needles to help ease his DOMs. #rehab #physio #lifting #weighttraining #physiogeelong #pain #DOMs #gettingbetter See more

19.01.2022 Thanks @SteigenApparel for kitting me up on the way to second at the Forrest ten hour pairs with @ridewithmarshy https://t.co/i92CsnKABy

18.01.2022 Great to have this man back on board Reconstructing Ryan. He is based out of our East Geelong clinic and seeing patients as of this week.

17.01.2022 Earlier in the year we were asked to run an injury screening assessment day for some young athletes playing rep grade basketball. Here you can see both athletes... knees falling in on the vertical drop jump test which can indicate an increased risk of an ACL injury. Following assessment all athletes received an individualised report and rehab program and re-assessment is due in a few weeks time. At Geelong Performance Physio we can cater for large and small group assessments or individual assessments so why not get in touch?! #injuryassessment #injuryprevention #geelongphysio #rehab #trainingsmarter See more

09.01.2022 For our first post during the 2016 Brain Injury Awareness Week we want you all to: Think F.A.S.T To Save A Life. Stroke is a leading cause of death worldwide. For stroke survivors, the long-term effects can be devastating for both them and their family. Disturbingly, over the past few years, the rate of stroke among young adults and children has grown rapidly. One of the biggest concerns is that most people having a stroke dont recognise the symptoms and miss out on medical ...treatment when it can be most effective. Its important to identify the warning signs of stroke and act fast. The sooner you receive medical care, the higher your chances of recovery are. Stroke can rob a person of both their physical abilities and their personality. The faster you act, the more of the person you save. The signs of a stroke vary from person to person and they usually occur without warning. Common symptoms include the inability to write or understand spoken language, numbness/weakness in the face, arms and legs, double vision, headaches, vertigo, and an inability to recognise faces. To help recognise a stroke quickly the acronym FAST is used as an easy reminder of the most common stroke symptoms. The letters stand for; Face: Check their face has their mouth drooped? Arms: Can they lift both arms? Speech: Is their speech slurred, do they understand you? Time: Is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.

07.01.2022 How stride length and running pattern can effect your load through your knee when running!

06.01.2022 Selecting the best running shoe for you can be a daunting process. The following relates to technical guidelines that may help the process. However, there is not a one size fits all approach. Some people may well follow the complete opposite to what is proposed here. For those individuals, they may well be adaptive to their footwear and quite resilient to loading forces (pressure from the ground when running) and injury in general.

05.01.2022 Tibialis Posterior Dysfunction (TPD) Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is the most common cause of adult acquired flatfoot. Patients will complain of medial foot pain, weakness, and a slowly progressive foot deformity. A too many toes sign may be present and patients will be unable to perform a single heel raise test. The optimal treatment may change based on the progression of deformity and stage of disease. [ 285 more words ] https://performancepodiatry.wordpress.com//adult-acquired/

03.01.2022 Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) (Shin Splints) Medial tibial stress syndrome is the most common form of exercise-induced leg pain. It represents a bone stress reaction of the tibia, the major weightbearing bone of the leg. It often results from a rapid increase in level of weight bearing exercise. The pain from MTSS is usually expressed as a dull ache following exercise that may last hours to days, and may even persist during normal activities of daily living.

03.01.2022 Forefoot overload is a broad term used to define a group of pathologies of similar origin. Individually the conditions may include: Bone stress- where bone is broken down and is at risk of stress response/ stress fracture. This normally occurs at the head of the metatarsal bone. Inter metatarsal pathology- including neuromatoma (pathological thickening of the nerve sheath) and bursitis. Clinically these two problems are difficult to distinguish as bursitis may apply pressure to the nerve resulting in symptoms, (shooting pain, burning, numbness and a full feeling) similar to a neuroma.
