25.01.2022 Good luck to Alex competing shortly at QLD state champs. In case anyone wants to jump on and watch, you can do so live. His first lift is in approx 8 mins time!

24.01.2022 Are you fed up of hearing from your practitioner, ‘you really need to stop [insert fun activity that makes life worthwhile] for a while’ . We are, because it’s bull and a disservice to you. Now we are not talking about running on broken bones or anything, but for MOST injuries, MOST activities can be modified. . Our advice is simple, if you want to be active and stay active, find a physio or practitioner that is active. Our team consists of active practitioners - see t...heir IG @physio_jordan or @_alexddddd for videos of them lifting. . We work hard to keep you lifting, running, cycling, swimming, CrossFitting, climbing and whatever else you can imagine. . DM us if you want to work with us as we are taking new clients in the new year. See more

20.01.2022 JAW PAIN . Most people that suffer from jaw pain get poor advice as it is a highly misunderstood joint. . Here’s some facts:... . 1The jaw move 30,000 times a day. It move when you eat, talk, yawn, clench. It is arguable the most active joint. . 2It is highly affected by repetitive strain. It is a joint which requires mobilisation and strengthening, much like any other joint. . 3It responds well to physiotherapy. Techniques include: neck mobilisations, jaw specific mobilisations, soft tissue release, dry needling and corrective strengthening. Like any other joint, physio helps. . We have just commenced jaw pain physio as COVID has backed off in QLD (go QLD) and it is now safe for our staff/patients. . If you get jaw pain, why wait for it worsen. Please get in touch so we can help. See more

19.01.2022 Should Children Lift Weights . YES. Children thrive on lifting weights.

14.01.2022 Creatine - Does it work . You might have seen our series on BCAA’s where we examined the science behind them . Another supplement you might have heard about, or want to try using is creatine. . Will it help you get stronger? Will it help you put on more muscle? Are there any negative effects? Keep reading and we’ll answer the common questions.... . STRENGTH/POWER - creatine has strong evidence that when used in combination with a resistance training program it enhances strength and power output fairly significantly. RUNNING ABILITY - There is a high degree of evidence between studies that a small improvement in running aerobic capacity is achieved when supplementing creatine. LEAN MUSCLE MASS - There is a high degree of evidence that it has a minor effect on increasing lean muscle mass. It also enhances water retention, so increases in mass might also be attributed to this. HYDRATION - There is strong evidence it improves hydration levels due to water retention. FATIGUE - There is a notable decrease in fatigue when using creatine, extending even to mental fatigue in traumatic brain injury patients. . Other notable effects include improvement in bone mineral density, decreased muscle damage post exercise, improved subjective wellbeing, increased testosterone, increased VO2 max and lots of other effects including have strong evidence of a notable decrease in depression symptoms. . To cut a long story really short, there’s tonnes of evidence on creatine and it’s safe, very effective and relatively cheap. It’s a great bang for your buck supplement if you want more from your training. . DISCLAIMER...if you want the most from your training, nothing will outweighs a great diet, not even your programming. Don’t think that creatine will do anything unless you are already ticking along optimally. But that’s a post for another time. . FINALLY, if you want to have a chat with exercise professionals who are also injury experts, our team has you covered. Remember to DM us if you have any questions at all! See more

14.01.2022 Don’t stop your treatment just because you feel better . Many of our clients continue with exercise physiology and maintenance visits. . These clients are the ones who get the best results. They are stronger . They are faster . They are in less pain . They are happier .... . Prevention will always be better than cure, and our aim is not to see you in the pain of injury, on the pain of keeping it away! See more

12.01.2022 Just @ransom7174 throwing out a 300kg deadlift on the deadlift machine following his knee rehab programming. . #strong #deadlifts #legday #gainz #physioclinic #physiotherapyclinic #brisbanephysio #physiobrisbane #movebetter #getstronger #rehab #kneepain #kneepainrelief #kneepainexercises #kneepainrehab

12.01.2022 What’s Better - squat or deadlifts . I get asked this question a lot, and like most things I get asked, the answer is the same...IT DEPENDS. . What most people are really asking, is which one will make you bigger and/or stronger.... . A recent 2020 paper by Nigro and Bartolemei looked at increases in muscle mass, jump output and power output after 6 weeks of training in two groups. You’ve guessed it - one group did squats, the other deadlifts for their lower body training. . They found NO REAL DIFFERENCE in either in terms of muscle mass increases,increases in power output (max strength)and jumping ability. In conclusion, both are as good as each other. They did report that low back pain was exhibited in a few participants of the deadlift group, however it was super low (and deadlifts are still safe). . So why am I saying ‘it depends’? It depends on what you prefer doing, which one you will make the most progress in, what equipment you have, whether one of them gives you pain at the moment...there are lots of factors. In reality for strength and rehab, I program both. Both are also great at helping each other out, and I’d love to see a study which looks at deadlift vs squat vs both. The both group would win, but I’ll need to wait for that study to come out. . Any Q’s...DM, comment and remember to like and share with someone who needs to know which is better . See more

11.01.2022 if anyone is interested, this is why it is important for older adults to exercise...if you know a family member who needs to gain strength so they can be involved in family activities and fully enjoy life, keep an eye out. We’ll be announcing exercise classes next year for all ages.

10.01.2022 Surgery for everyone and everything . The benefits of rehab far outweigh the benefits of surgery. And furthermore, you get all the benefits with little risk. . Even if you do have surgery, you know you’ll need a longer period of rehab anyway?... . There are definitely some circumstances where surgery is helpful, but having surgery before you address your lifestyle, biomechanics, strength and movement is like trying to run before you can walk, let alone crawl. . It’s time our healthcare system helped patients make better choices, instead of trying to see each patient as a pot of . See more

10.01.2022 We have added a glute/hamstring machine to the clinic that will be coming to our new gym - @riverside_barbell_club . . Come try it out .

07.01.2022 When it’s the weekend. Have a good weekend! . #weekend

06.01.2022 Shoulder rehab will take you up to 3 months to complete, and in some cases a lot longer. . It is often understated to clients just how long it takes to resolve an injury. This can happen for a variety of reasons - not wanting to disappoint clients, knowing it can take a long time can be demotivating etc. . This is very true of shoulder pain...In more than a decade as a physiotherapist, I have rarely seen shoulder pain fully rehabilitated in less than a 3 month period. If y...ou have had frozen shoulder, or a dislocation, it often takes much longer. . All I can say is this...it is always worth doing the work, rather than settling for a life of pain. Hard yards, avoiding surgery (there’s recent studies that show most surgery is unnecessary) and trying to keep rehab fun and along the lines of things you will get you the results you need. . Wonder if you want a second opinion, or a realistic plan for your shoulder pain? Get in touch and we will help point you in the right direction. See more

05.01.2022 MONDAY MOTIVATION . Don’t give up! If lockdown has you feeling beat, remember it ends today (all going well). . 2021 has hit hone that obstacles will come thick and fast, but it’s hard to beat someone who doesn’t give up!

05.01.2022 POWERFUL BOOTY EXERCISES . Checkout my step by step guide as to how to build a bigger, stronger booty. Note, I’ve not included all exercises, but here are the staple exercises for a booty program. . The glutes are the thickest, most powerful muscle in the body (some reports will tell you it’s the biting muscles and maybe it is)... . That means to grow them they need force. Focusing on squats, squats, squats! Deadlift variations. Good Mornings . . Let mr know how you get on with exercise 1 especially . See more

04.01.2022 MOTIVATION Has anyone ever noticed when you change the way you speak, you change the way you think? . . When you are in pain the language you use can change the results you have. In our clinic we focus on what you can do (rehab, improve your sleep, stress, self care) instead of what you can’t. . We are in uncertain times, and the language that dictates behaviour is changing. If there’s one thing that is certain in these uncertain times, you still have the power over how you speak. Use positive language to change your mindset and ultimately change your behaviour.

03.01.2022 BACK PAIN EXERCISES . Beating back pain is pretty simple. You need to move! Check out 4 movements that are super effective for beating back pain. . 1 - Cat-camel: Start on all 4’s, tuck your pelvis in and round your back upwards, then drops the belly button down towards the ground and stick the bum out to stretch in the opposite direction. Only go as far as you feel comfortable.... . 2 - Glute Bridges: Lie on your back and pull your belly button in to fire up your core muscles. Squeeze the buttocks and lift up (don’t need to go too high mind you). Hold for a few seconds and then lower with control. . 3 - Good Mornings: I particularly love these and think the are under-prescribed to patients. Keep the knees pushed back, hold your back straight and bend FROM THE HIPS. The knees will bend slightly, but you should feel more tension in the hamstrings than the back. I also suggest filming yourself and getting good at this movement . . 4 - Deadbugs: Great for learning to keep the core active during arm and leg movements. Lift the knees up so the hips and knees are at 90 degrees. Pull the belly button in towards the floor. Keep the core braced and bring the opposite arm and leg towards the floor. Go as far as you feel comfortable. If you can’t do that, try just an arm or a leg to start. . Let us know how you go in the comments!

02.01.2022 WORLD PHYSIOTHERAPY DAY . Most people are not really sure what a physiotherapist is. Physiotherapist work in every health setting possible to help people with movement problems. . We work in private practice. In private practice our caseload consists of everything from rolled ankles, to work injuries, to the sports person who has just had surgery, to those who are on NDIS looking to become more independent.... .

Our profession is heavily regulated. In order to stay registered (here in Australia or back in the UK where I’ve worked) you need to earn CPD points. This proves you are keeping up with the latest research and treatment methods. . If you’ve never been to see a physio, you are missing out.

01.01.2022 Ever wonder what the difference between a physiotherapist, a chiropractor and an osteopath is? . This is an interesting topic in modern health care, as even doctors still think there is a large difference between the professions. . BUT, despite subtle differences, we all have WAY more similarities than differences.... . We are all degree qualified professions, who are regulated by the same body in Australia . . We are all taught a mixture of rehab and hands on treatment to assist patients who have pain. . Physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathy ARE NOT TREATMENTS. You can’t actually ‘have’ physiotherapy. You can’t have ‘chiro’. You can’t ‘have’ osteo. You can go to a physio, a chiro, or an osteo...BUT AGAIN, they are not treatments. . When choosing a profession who is helping you, make sure that they are equipped to help with some short term outcomes through appropriate hands-on techniques, BUT employ long term strategies involving rehabilitation and strengthening. . Gone are the days where an ‘adjustment’ lasting 5-10 mins is appropriate. Patients are more informed and know that this will not last without appropriate rehabilitation. . If you are a physio, chiro, or osteopath reading this and you are getting salty because you think your profession is sacred or special, think again , that’s old news. Nowadays, the best physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths follow a similar and integrated approach. If you are relying on providing stereotypical treatments, like physio’s who just massage, or chiro’s who just crack joints, you are at risk of becoming a . . Patients don’t stand for it, and want an approach that empowers them (through rehabilitation). . Want to know more about the InBalance Method? DM us - it’s simple, effective and gives you the power.

01.01.2022 HEADACHES . Most headaches originate from the top 3 joints of the neck. I’m not talking about dehydration headaches although they are super common too. . Some academics even insist hormonal headaches are a result of oversensitivity from nerve disruption at the top of the neck.... . There are different types of headaches. A physio determines what type you have by asking you lots of questions and assessing the top 3 joints of your neck. We also look for additional factors like weakness and compensation. . Headaches respond really well to a specific regime of manual therapy and exercise. Hit us up if you need help managing your headaches! See more
