25.01.2022 An acute rupture of a healthy tendon can be successfully treated either conservatively or operatively. Irrespective of the treatment method, however, rehabilitation is a crucial component of treatment. Thus, patient's adherence to rehabilitation should be taken into consideration in determining a treatment strategy. The conventional conservative treatment entails 6 to 8 weeks of cast immobilization. The ankle is placed in a cast in plantar flexion position for initial 4 wee...ks and in neutral position for the following 2 to 4 weeks. Conservative management has been associated with a higher rerupture rate compared with operative repair However, recent studies have suggested that the rerupture rates can be lowered by reducing the period of cast immobilization and using early functional rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is an integral part of treatment, either conservative or operative. The final decision on the management of acute Achilles tendon ruptures should be based on patient specific factors and shared decision making. #achilliestendon #achilliesrupture #achilliesrehab #buildingconfidencethroughmobility @iphysiomortlake

For your chance to win: 1.Like this post 2.Tag a friend 3. Follow our page We will be announcing the winner on the 1st of September! Goodluck! #buildingconfidencethroughmobility @iphysiomortlake #functionalmovementscreening #functionalmovement #functionalmovementscreening #functionaltraining What is a functional movement screen? It is a tool used to identify faulty or compensatory movement patterns in individuals and athletes. Poor movement patterns can lead to increased risk of injury and decrease performance. Following the screening and report you will be given exercises to do to improve the movement pattern most needing improvement. These can be done one on one or done at home depending on your preference.

21.01.2022 to-repair or not-to-repair? Video: non surgical management of ruptured Achilles. Non-surgical management involves immobilisation in boot or cast for 2-weeks with non-weight bearing followed by approximately 10 weeks of walking in a moon boot with heel wedges (keeping tendon in shortened position). A gradual increase in weight bearing is done in the first 4 weeks of walking in the moon boot followed by gradual lengthening of the tendon.... Surgical management involves day surgery (normally) to stitch ruptured tendon followed by 2-weeks of non-weight bearing. Once reviewed by surgeon around 2 weeks post-operation, you will be wearing moon boots with heel wedge for approximately 10 weeks. Full weight bearing is permitted if you feel comfortable as soon as you are in the moon boot and gradual lengthening of tendon with reducing heel wedges can start. If you are young and active surgical repair may be more commonly chosen. However, if you are older (say late 40’s) and the tendon is no more than 1cm apart, you will probably be managed conservatively (non-surgical). The above is discussed with your medical team and a decision is made based on what is most suitable for you and your specific injury. #achiliesrupture #nonsurgicalmanagement #surgicalmanagement #buildingconfidencethroughmobility @iphysiomortlake

21.01.2022 The good, bad and ugly: squatting technique. GOOD. Functional Foot: A wide and stable foot with full range of movement at the ankle enables body- weight to remain centered in the base of support (feet) during the entire movement. Good squatting posture can be adopted with minimum compensatory movement in the knees, hips and spine BAD. Shoe-shaped foot (decompensated): The lack of structural stability in the foot and restricted range of movement in the ankles causes the bod...y weight fall forwards and the knees to roll inwards. Once the range in the knee joint is exhausted, the rest of the movement occurs via hip flexion, creating either a ‘hyper-lordotic’ posture of the lumbar spine, or forward flexion of the whole torso. A decompensated shoe-shaped foot is associated with both knee and lower back pain during squatting. UGLY. Shoe-shaped Foot (compensated): Lack of toe function and restricted range of movement in the ankles causes bodyweight to drift backwards onto the heels. In the deep squat position (hips below knees) the pelvis ‘tips’ backwards on the hips placing the joints and muscles of the pelvis and lower back at risk of strain and injury. #squating #footfunction #buildingconfidencethroughmobility @iphysiomortlake See more

20.01.2022 Movement myth "You should start running 3 months post ACL surgery" A lot of practitioners believe that the best time to start running after ACLR is at the 3 month mark. But is everyone at the same stage physical function wise after 3 months? ... Not always So when SHOULD you start running after ACLR? Research suggests that a combination of functional criteria should be used to determine readiness to return to run, including: Full or close to full knee ROM Pain < 2/10 VAS > 70% quadriceps LSI > 70% hamstring LSI > 70% single hop for distance LSI LSI = Leg symmetry index. [study: Rambaud 2019] If these criteria are met before running, this increases the chances of the patient making a successful return back to running, as their body is better prepared to run. #returntorunning #aclrecovery #individulisedprogramming @iphysiomortlake @iphysiobelmore @iphysio.sydney @iphysio_clife_gym @iphysiosummerhill @iphysioaustralia @iphysiocommunity

19.01.2022 Old v new orthotics. The old pair have flattened over time but started out looking like the new one on the right. Activities like running wear down your orthotics quicker than everyday walking to and from work. Wear or Damage: Take a look at your orthotics. If you see any cracks, broken pieces, areas of excessive wear it's time to replace them. #buildingconfidencethroughmobility #podiatry #orthoticrepairs #orthoticsupport #orthoticsthatwork

15.01.2022 Athletes competing in sports that require running, changes in direction, repetitive kicking and physical contact are at a relatively higher risk of experiencing episodes of athletic groin pain. Exercise therapy is a key component of rehabilitation for groin pain particularly strengthening exercise of the hip and abdominal musculature. The evidence suggests that strengthening exercise may need to be progressed (from static contractions to functional positions) and performed through range for groin pain in athletes. #buildingconfidencethroughmobility @iphysiomortlake #groinpain #exercisetherapy #sportsinjury #rehabilitation #cr7 @ IPhysio Mortlake Page

14.01.2022 Ideal desk set up when working from home When you are sitting for long hours at your desk it is essential to make sure you are sitting correctly to protect your health long term. We put together a list of the key things to look for: ... 1Feet flat on the floor 2Slight downward slop of the thighs (knees slightly below hip height) 3Buttocks is all the way back in the chair 4Pelvic stabilizer is nice and tight to pelvis 5Sitting close to the desk - tucked underneath so that ears, shoulders, elbows and hips can all fall in one line 6Chair is at a height, so that elbows are at a 90 degree bend or slightly more 7Computer monitor is at a height that allows the top of the screen to fall at eye level. 8Computer monitor distance is set to arms length. 9Keyboard/mouse/writing area is close enough to the user so that elbows are able to stay in line. Movement! Keep your body wiggling whenever you can #ergonomics #ergonomicdesk #workingfromhome #buildingconfidencethroughmobility @iphysiomortlake See more

12.01.2022 Spend some time barefoot each day to invite the 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments of each foot to FEEL ALIVE!! Try lifting just your big toes (first only your left, then only your right, then both together). Work on lifting them upward and not sideways towards the pinkie toe as it may happen. Once you master this, do the same with each other toe, always lifting each toe one at a time. If you struggle with each toe at a time, it’s a wonderful sig...n that you should keep doing this!! Eventually your toes will start to listen! And your body will start to react to this new possibility of movement. Adequate mobility in the great toe is very important A big toe that can’t move up and down creates a whole series of trouble for your lower body. Without an arch, your foot collapses, and other joints (such as your knee, hip, or back) absorb the shock. Athletes that lose the ability to move their big toe end up inefficiently moving, jumping, and cutting, causing their performance to suffer and/or pain to develop. #barefoot #toelift #footmovement #buildingconfidencethroughmobility @iphysiomortlake @ IPhysio Mortlake Page

11.01.2022 Getting back into the gym ? Why standing shoulder press? You will naturally lift a lighter weight in standing inturn reducing the risk of injury but don’t be fooled by the lighter weight the benefits are big as you will need more stability more shoulder muscle activation more core engagement. #standingshoulderpress #Buildingconfidencethroughmobility @iphysiomortlake

09.01.2022 The Glute Max Is Really Good At Stabilizing The SI Joint When muscles contract, they create compressive force, which also creates joint force. This joint force increases stability, which is especially important in the SI joint. This force clamps down on the SI joint and keeps it in place during movement. It also acts to increase the transfer of force between the upper and lower limbs, so its practical applications extend to performance and not just injury and pain preventio...n. If you want to minimise the risk of low back pain and injury, in addition to maximising performance, make sure you train the glutes hard so they can effectively stabilise the SI joint and prevent aberrant motion from occurring during forceful and explosive movements. #buildingconfidencethroughmobility #glutmaximus #exercise #sacroiliacjointdysfunction #backpainrelief @iphysiomortlake @ IPhysio Mortlake Page

04.01.2022 #foamrolling is a self-myofascial release (SMR) technique that focuses on loosening and breaking up tension in the fascia as well as releasing muscle tightness. It is similar to getting a massage, just in this case you are your own massage therapist. The foam roller will never completely replace a therapist’s hands, but it serves as a great alternative and can be done anytime. Foam rollers can work out muscle tightness, soreness or any knots you may feel in your muscles. W...hile rolling these spots you may experience some discomfort. It should not be unbearable though, and when you are done it should feel better. Releasing these muscle knots and tightness helps to return your muscles elasticity and reestablish proper movement patterns along with making movement pain free. #Repost @timtszyu with @get_repost Grind never stopped. #chasinggreatness

01.01.2022 Bunions Hallux valgus (aka Bunions) describes the lateral deviation of the big toe. It’s a complex condition attributed to several factors, including genetic and environmental factors. Other anatomical and biomechanical factors play an important role in the evolution of this condition. It is more common in females, which may be associated with choice of footwear . These functional and anatomical changes can lead to foot pain and dysfunction, often presenting as ...pain/dysfunction in other areas of the lower limbs due to compensations . Many studies highlight the dysfunction of abductor hallucis and adductor hallucis as factors for the development and progression of Hallux Valgus deformities. #bunions #halluxvalgus #footpain #toepain #bigtoe #physiotherapy therapy #rehab #prehab #softtissuetherapy #injurymanagement #injuryprevention prevention #functionaltraining #dryneddling #buildingconfidencethroughmobility @iphysiomortlake @ IPhysio Mortlake Page See more
