25.01.2022 Happy Friday! Check out our very talented physio Holly riding some local waves this week. Holly is one of our very experienced physios specialising in sports physio and is currently working out of both of our clinics in North Geelong and our new location in Torquay! She is very active herself and obviously enjoys to surf but also run, hike, gym and ski/snowboard. Hopefully everyone is staying safe and able to find some outdoors recreation to do this weekend!

25.01.2022 Right now the Tokyo Olympics should be in full swing...... But for now we reminisce through one of our sports physiotherapists, Belinda Herde (nee Smith) and the physio work she does when not at the Geelong or Torquay clinics. Belinda works with some of the worlds best athletes here and abroad (and weekend warriors too) and the article gives you a glimpse of her working at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Bring on Tokyo 2021.

Head to our blog (link below) to read about conservative management vs surgical repair. https://www.grandslamphysio.com.au/achilles-rupture-manage/

22.01.2022 We are running into the weekend partnered up with Lululemon and are super excited to announce they have donated 4 $50 physio vouchers to help some of our running patients hit their return to running goals!

22.01.2022 https://www.abc.net.au//injuries-tipped-to-soar-a/12326616 There is a real risk with return to sport for injuries after the COVID restrictions on training. It is nearly impossible to avoid the spike in loading and training in the attempt to get back to match "readiness" and there is a high risk of large spikes in injury rates which has been seen in professional sport across the globe! For our local community it has just been announced that all local Senior Football and Ne...tball has been cancelled for the 2020 season and whilst the risk of injuries was not the only reason for this (club financial stability and crowd control during COVID restrictions). Whilst some athletes will be dissapointed it is potentially not the worst thing for preventing a large spike in soft tissue injuries such as calf and hamstring muscle strains and serious knee injuries such as ACL ruptures. Heres an interesting read on the statistics around the globe from spikes in injury rates from return to sport.

22.01.2022 Four stages of quarantine Anyone else feeling it?

22.01.2022 We are super excited to announce our latest home workout release on our Exercise Portal! Thanks to the beautiful @sabrina_reuter_yoga who teaches yoga locally in both Torquay and Geelong we now have a home 7 minute meditation practice as well as a 30 minute yoga flow. You can do both of these workouts in the comfort of your own home to help with mental and physical wellbeing during these stressful times! Our exercise p...ortal is full of great workouts including both cardio, strength, Pilates and more and you can have unlimited lifetime access for a once off fee of $65. For other grandslam community VIP deals and local community tips request to join our free VIP page (Grandslam physio community hive). We are so excited to be connected with @sabrina_reuter_yoga here is a snippet on her background! Sabrina has been practicing yoga for nearly 17 years and finished her teacher training @yokeyoga in 2018. She loves sharing her beautiful practice at her favourite local studios including @yokeyoga @zeropointyoga and @goodfolkyoga. To me there is (almost) nothing better than a room full of yogis breathing and moving together. What makes yoga so special to me is that this ancient practice offers you the tools to truthfully connect with yourself, supporting you in learning how to listen to your body, mind and soul. #physiogeelong #physiotorquay #yoga #destress #meditate #wellbeing #grandslamphysio See more

09.01.2022 We hope everyone is staying safe and well as can be as we navigate through COVID. Our Geelong and Torquay physiotherapy clinics are seeing patients face to face as an essential service and we have Telehealth as an option for some consultations. For your safety and in line with current government recommendations where social distancing cannot be achieved or clinician preference our physios will be wearing a mask during your consultation. We also have masks for you to wear ...or feel free to bring your own. And please, if you are unwell contact us to reschedule. And a big thanks to Cricket & Sports Medicine Centre for the awesome explanation of why we should wear

09.01.2022 Hamstring Strain Rehab The Hamstring is the most commonly injured region in fast paced sports and of concern, has a high re-injury rate, with one third of athletes going on to reinjure in the future (Comin, Malliaras, Baquie, Barbour, & Connell, 2013) (Orchard & Best, 2002). When rehabbing a hamstring injury, we suggest the best chance to ensure a successful recovery is to target both hip and knee dominant hamstring exercises in the realm of strength, capacity and power w...hen appropriate. Mid-late stage rehab should also include eccentric based exercises as there is high quality research to suggest that reduced eccentric hamstring strength is a predictor of hamstring injury (Opar et al., 2015). Below Holly shows us some good examples of exercises which may constitute a hamstring rehabilitation program, yet as always, each case is individual and we strongly advise an appointment with one of our physios to decide which is the best approach for you.

08.01.2022 Happy Graduation Day Tom! We couldn't be happier for our superstar admin Tom, who today graduated with a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science and a Bachelor of Business (Sports Management)! We are so excited to see where the future takes you! Congratulations

01.01.2022 AFL Barwon, the Colac and District and Geelong & District Executive have just announced the decision to cancel the 2020 senior football and netball premiership seasons. They have committed to continuing with the junior leagues but sadly the siren has sounded for this years senior teams. This coincides with the alarming statistics coming out from around the globe regarding higher injury rates after breaks in training from Covid19 training restrictions. Now we need to make sure our junior athletes are supported with appropriate return to play time frames and adequate training blocks prior to the return of competition. #physio #football #netball #injury #prevention #grandslamphysio.
