24.01.2022 Great achilles tendinopathy rehab tips #Repost @kaitlin.physio with @get_repost ACHILLES TENDINOPATHY REHAB... Rehabilitation associated with this injury initially requires an offloading period of relative rest (ie. avoidance of aggravating factors - running, jumping, etc). After this period, you will start to progressively load the tendon. During this period, it is important to have a full assessment, if possible, to address biomechanics/imbalances that may be contributing to the injury. Typically the re-loading will begin with ISOMETRICS (calves are contracting while not shortening nor lengthening - ie. calf raise holds) ECCENTRICS (a muscle contraction which focuses on controlling the lengthening of the calves and achilles tendon, so bringing the foot toward your shin in this case) CONCENTRICS (a muscle contraction which involves the shortening of the muscles - so pointing the foot down in this case) RETURN TO SPORT (this will depend on the athlete/person and what the demands are of their particular sport). Above are a few exercises that can be incorporated into Achilles Tendinopathy rehab! 1 Calf Raise (2 feet up, 1 down - eccentric focus), make sure you take long to lower yourself - about 2 seconds coming up, and 4 seconds coming down. 2 Calf Raise (single leg, eccentric focus - 2 sec up, 4 sec down) 3 Banded Lateral Toe Walks 4 Weighted Forward Toe Walks 5 Bosu Weight Taps - here you are controlling the foot and the lengthening of the achilles as you reach forward to tap Tag a friend who could benefit @liveactivesm / @journeytoexcel #AchillesTendon #AchillesTendinopathy #Rehab #Prehab #Injury #Running #Toronto See more

21.01.2022 Brilliant piece on Corticosteroid Injections Keen to find out more? Speak to us about the best treatment for you #Repost @thestrengthpts with @get_repost... Corticosteroid injections All of the above conditions can be treated succesfully with proper loading and education this is the ethical and proper way however at a time where medical overtreatment is incontrovertible, it exists and no one denies it exists, CSI have become very popular in musculoskeletal conditions. In this table we can see consistent likely short-term benefit for CSI perhaps for most musculoskeletal conditions, although it should be noted that some of these RCTS reporting benefits from CSI have high-risk of bias. . In any case The question remains: can we clinicians assume that CSI is benign and that there is no long-term deleterious effect for the majority of indications? . It might depend on whether you have a glass-half full or a glass-half empty mentality, or whether, after looking at the data, it looks more like the glass starts off full and ends up empty and the patient ends up worse off. . @thestrengthpts See more

20.01.2022 Why is proprioception important to train following an injury? If your repaired ligaments are aware of your body position either in everyday life or during a game, they will be less likely to allow your body to be put in a position where they could be compromised again this means less re-injury rates and happier clients

16.01.2022 #Repost @movementupgraded with @get_repost Resting isnt the answer for a tendinitis. Making your tendons stronger is.... _ Yes, maybe you need to rest the tendon temporarily from the aggravating activity so that your bodys alarm system (pain) stops going off and so the tendon can recover. But you also need to find ways to strengthen your tendon to make it stronger and more resilient at the same time. _ Rest alone wont help your tendinitis because a tendinitis is a load capacity problem. What does that mean? _ It means that if the load youre continually applying to your tendon far exceeds your tendons ability to adapt and recover to that load, your tendon will eventually break down and become weaker. On the other hand, if the load youre applying to your tendon slightly surpasses your tendons ability to manage that load and you allow the tendon to adequately rest and recover, it will adapt and become stronger. _ Resting may make your pain go away and make the tendon feel better. But if you go right back to the activity that aggravated your tendon in the first place, your tendinitis will likely come back. This is because you didnt increase the load capacity of the tendon, you just rested it. _ To successfully treat a tendinitis you have to strategically load the tendon so it can adapt and become stronger. You also need to give the tendon plenty of time for it to recover to the load you just placed on it. _ Treatment for tendinitis can be tricky, but with professional help and guidance, treatment is pretty straight forward. _ Interested in working with us?

15.01.2022 Exercise becomes more important than ever the older we get! Once were over the age of 30, we start to lose muscle mass each year and lean muscle mass is one of the leading predictors of longevity. Maintaining lean muscle mass increases our strength and mobility, and reduces the risk of injury. Therefore, its extremely important to get moving, especially as we get older

10.01.2022 This is a brilliant message for people undertaking fitness-based New Years Resolutions! #Repost @physionetwork with @get_repost AVOID TOO MUCH TOO SOON... Great post from @dr.jacob.harden As we step into a new year, it is likely that many of us have set goals that we want to achieve. So I felt that this was a timely and important message. A lot of people want to know how to prevent injuries or, better put, reduce the risk of injury (since we never 100% "prevent"). And the truth is, there isnt a magical exercise, routine, or stretch that is going to reduce risk of injuries. Risk comes from exposure and how prepared you are to handle that exposure. Your current level of preparation is the product of genetics and what you have exposed your body to prior, which will influence your current levels of fitness and fatigue. You may hear this referred to as your Acute and Chronic Workloads, which Ill dive deeper into in another post. And while preparation certainly can be complex, and social media loves to make it look complicated, for 99% of us, it really doesnt have to be. Choose a goal, start slow, push adequately, rest periodically, and show up consistently. We all have goals and those goals are important. But its going to be a lot easier to reach those goals if you stay consistent. And its going to be much easier to stay consistent if you stay healthy. So whatever goal you are chasing, ease into the process. Youll gain momentum. Not only in terms of motivation and success but also physically. Your body will adapt and become better prepared. You dont need to run your body into the dirt to achieve success. Believe me, things can always be made more difficult. But let yourself grow into it. You dont need speed. You need momentum. I hope everyone is having a very happy new year and I look forward to seeing you achieve everything youre after. Tag a friend starting a new fitness journey and share the wealth! #Prehab101 See more

06.01.2022 Hello Home Physio Melbourne Patients and Providers, Here we go again with lockdown...As frustrating as it may be for many of you, its important to note that keeping your mind and body healthy is important during lockdown. Go for walks, practice yoga, meditate, and continue with physio and EP if you want/need it. Please dont spend $20k on any of Pete Evans COVID-19 light machines - they do not work. During the last lockdown, we actually had a significant increase in demand ...for our services, and as a result, we hired 4 additional superstar physios. We currently have a very short waiting time for us to get a practitioner to you. You have the option of tele-health, and in some cases phone visits under medicare, if you do not want to do a face-to-face appointment. For those patients/participants still wanting home-visits, we have made our infection control protocols even more robust. All practitioners must: Call you before arriving for the session to see if you are feeling ok. Take off their shoes upon entry to your home. Take your temperature with an infrared thermometer if you are feeling unwell. Wear a mask. Wash their hands or sanitise if hand-washing facilities not available. Sanitise treatment tables or equipment before and after use glove use is not advised if hands are clean, but we can wear gloves if you want us to. The safety of our patients/participants and staff is our number one priority during this time, so please reach out to me directly if you have any questions. Stay safe, enjoy Uber eats, and make sure your Netflix subscription is up to date.

05.01.2022 Did you know exercise can be prescribed like medicine for cancer patients? Dr. Kathryn Schmitz from Penn University is leading research in this field. According to researchers, exercise is important for cancer prevention and exercise during and after cancer treatment can help improve fatigue, anxiety, depression, physical function, and quality of life. Studies have also linked exercise to helping improve survival after a breast, colon or prostate cancer diagnosis. @homephysiomelbourne we can tailor a program to you or your loved one

01.01.2022 Could squatting in the office save your life? Squatting or kneeling requires more muscle activity than sitting in a chair and there is research behind the idea of squatting at work. The Hadza people of Tanzania, whose inactive hunting-gathering lifestyle is similar to office workers, squat or kneel during rest. However, the most interesting things is they dont have health problems like cardiovascular disease and premature death. ... Could this be because theyre using their muscles more despite being relatively inactive?
