23.01.2022 INHALE... EXHALE... Not all deep breathing is the same. In the first half of this video, the 'deep' breaths are focused into the upper chest and shoulders, resulting in a shallow breath, with use of the neck and shoulder muscles. This type of breathing is very common when we are stressed or anxious. In the second half of the video, the hand placement shows that the breath is focused at the lower rib cage level, expanding the ribs, filling the lower lobes of the lungs a...nd resulting in a very gentle stretch to the rib joints and muscles. Good quality deep breathing should keep the head, neck and shoulders relaxed and feel like your ribs are inflating like a balloon when you breathe in and deflating when you breathe out. Try this technique in front of a mirror, using your hands as a guide to focus your breath into your lateral ribs. If you struggle with head, neck and upper back tension, our clinical exercise classes can help with release and stretch work for this region and also help you achieve great quality breathing! #deepbreathing #ribexpansion #impactphysio #clinicalexercise #pilatesinspired #innaloo #physioperth #perthphysio

19.01.2022 WOMEN ARE NOT SMALL MEN Thanks so much to @matassessment for introducing us to @drstacysims and her amazing knowledge regarding working with (and for) female athletes. If we continue to treat women like' small men', we are doing them and their training a disservice. Her presentation on the OPS Running edition higlighted how women's hormones, energy requirements, timing of the intake of key nutrients and difference in physique compared to men, must all be accounted for when... creating successful and meaningful exercise programs. Inspiring! #womenarenotsmallmen #drstaceysims #femaleathletes #perthphysio #impactphysio #runstrong #runfit#perthfitfam #innaloo #impactandinspire Thanks @rafaelbaugh for the tip!

12.01.2022 ERGONOMICS 'Set the task to the person, not the person to the task.' This principle is the basis behind all good ergonomics. What does a:... Pillow Reem of paper Box all have to do with good ergonomics? They can all provide relatively quick, inexpensive and effective changes to a work setup, especially those at home (such as this one) which are less than ideal (i.e. desk too high, feet not in contact with the ground and monitor slightly too low). If you are getting any aches or pains related to your WFH setup or would just like a review on how to optimise your at home work station, DM us or call on 94463833, as we can provide a telehealth session to review your setup, to ensure your desk space works for you! #wfh #ergonomics #telehealth #impactandinspire #impactphysio #physioperth #perthphysio#innaloo

Perfect for those older members of our community still in isolation and for those with deconditoning and fatigue.... It focuses on joint mobility, functional movement and balance.

10.01.2022 Rather than create a sense of doom and gloom, the above quote is aimed to help you think about constructing , planning and executing your plans for movement, exercise, fitness and sport into your week. It's important that we treat our rehab exercises, foam roller stretches, post op regime etc with the focus and consistency it deserves. If you are tempted to put your health and fitness last on your list, treat your exercise session as an appointment you can't miss. ... For this reason, some people succeed more when their fitness is comprised of PT sessions, a walk with a friend, a pre booked group fitness class. This can maintain accountability and consistency when your motivation isn't there. Commit to attending one of our clinical exercise classes and let us help you reach your fitness goals! We also use the app @physitrak to develop individualised exercises programs that allow your to track (and us to monitor) your adherence and pain levels. To find out more send us a DM, visit our website (link in bio) or call us on 9446 3833. #impactphysio#staysafe #impactandinspire #exerciserightweek #perthphysio #innaloo #fitwomen #perthfitfam

08.01.2022 PRIORITISING YOUR FITNESS ISN'T SELFISH If you're a parent, it is so tempting to put yourself last, but when you make time for yourself, away from your family, and prioritise health and fitness, you will show your family that exercise is an important focus to have. Of course incidental exercise is important-dancing with your kids, taking the dog for a walk, going up and down the stairs at work, but so does dedicated time for YOU.... Those sessions where our kids can see us exercising and are a part of the session are wonderful, but when we remove ourselves from families to move, breathe and connect with our bodies, we return to our families with more patience and energy. At Impact we have so many mums and dads participate in our clinical exercise classes, let us know if we can help you too! #monkeyseemonkeydo #impactandinspire #impactphysio #physioperth #perthphysio #innaloo #clinicalexercise #pilatesinspired

07.01.2022 ANZAC DAY This ANZAC day will be like no other and we will aim to remember those that fought long ago by participating in the #drivewaysatdawn commemorative service.

05.01.2022 LATERAL HIP PAIN? WHAT NOT TO DO... Lateral hip pain can (literally) be a pain in the bum! There may be some things that you are doing that are aggravating your pain, without you even know it! You see, tendons like to be loaded, but aren't big fans of being compressed.... The gluteal tendon is compressed if we lie on the same side as the pain or if that leg crosses the midline of our body (such as when we sit with our legs crossed, sleep with our sore leg draped across the other leg, even when performing some common gluteal strengthening and stretching exercises!). So, some quick and easy ways to try to reduce gluteal tendon irritation... Avoid sitting cross legged Sleep on the unaffected side with a pillow between your knees, to keep the legs in a more neutral position Avoid gluteal stretches which involve the leg being pulled across the body Avoid glut strengthening exercises where the leg starts in an adducted ( turned inward) position You may not have to avoid the above long term... But it's great to try initially. For more guidance and assistance with tendinopathy issues, ring us on 94463833! #glutealpain #tendinopathy #impactphysio #physioperth #staysafe #innaloo

05.01.2022 NEW PARENTS Are you suffering from wrist and thumb pain that is made worse with carrying your new bub, taking them in and out of the cot or car, when bathing them or with pushing the pram? You may be suffering with an overuse injury known as Dequervain's, which affects the tendons around the wrist and thumb. ... Head over to our YouTube channel where, with the help of @anita_dorizzi and her gorgeous bub Charlie, we go over a few basic changes you can make to the way you handle and carry your bub-including the way Anita places Charlie into her car seat! We also definitely recommend being seen by one of our team for a proper diagnosis and management plan!

02.01.2022 RETURN TO PRE COVID-19 SPORTS AND EXERCISE We are right on board with the excitement of being able to return to some of our Pre Covid-19 forms of fitness and exercise, however, to avoid undue stress and injury to your body, we'd recommend: Allow 24-28 hours between sessions of similar exercises, this gives your tendons time to recover and be ready to go again!... If you're recovering from an injury, aim to have less than 4/10 pain during the session and no pain that night or the next morning Speak to your trainer or physio about adjusting your routine to accommodate injuries Work back up gradually to your Pre covid-19 weights/sets and reps Aim for a decent night's rest and proper hydration and nutrition For overall general health aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily and two to three sessions weekly of strength and conditioning Happy exercising!

01.01.2022 HAPPY MONDAY! We hope your Monday has gone well... But if you've not yet had a chance to move your body today, don't fear. Even 10 minutes of gentle stretches and focused breathing before bed can be a great way to end your day. Head over to our YouTube channel for more exercise inspo.
