24.01.2022 Here is some footage from my workout today with coach @gabiscaffidi from @range_of_motion I train once a week with Gabs. I do this for a few reasons. To build general strength . This general strength will prepare my body to perform gymnastics. It will reduce my risk of injury. ... To build explosive power. Gymnastics events such as floor and vault require this. In my sessions we regularly work on olympic lifting. This power training for olympic lifting is very transferrable to gymnastics. To learn. Everyone should have a coach for something . Lifelong professional learning is essential. As a physio it is important for me to understand many ways of exercising. If a client comes to me with an injury sustained during olympic lifting or general gym training I can better understand and treat their issue because I have performed the exercise myself. Some closing thoughts. If you are a gymnast please don’t neglect general strength training. Lifting weights is safe as long as the load is appropriate and you are taught good technique. Even if you are a teen. Keep learning. Always. Happy training @formotionphysio #physio #exercisephysio #strengthtraining #powertraining

22.01.2022 Meet Luke He has been seeing me for a few issues including upper and lower limb nerve irritation. He was experiencing significant pain which was stopping him from drumming. After a treatment plan which involved massage, dry needling and targeted exercise rehab Luke is now back to doing what he loves. Drumming. Luke plans on preventing these pains from returning by warming up prior to drumming, keeping practice times short and continuing to exercise regularly. He will see ...me ongoing for exercise to work on new fitness goals including handstands and gymnastics rings! Great work Luke @formotionphysio #physio #exerciserehab #physiotherapist #physioperth

20.01.2022 #Repost @formotionphysio with @make_repost Patience Injury Just like strength & conditioning training, injury rehab takes time, consistency and making sure you’re hitting each milestone before you progress further.... Squat before you jump, press before you jerk, and pull up before you muscle up. JP @aus_bootcamps has been doing exactly that and his first muscle up since his shoulder injury (and lockdown) is now a beautifully smooth and controlled sight There are rarely quick fixes, and giving your body enough time to first heal, and then get back to/better than your previous level of strength or skill can take weeks - months of the cycle of small stimulus + time to adapt Be good to future you and be patient with it . . . . . . #patience#injuryrehab#muscleup#shoulderrecovery#shoulderrehab#crossfitperth#gymnasticsperth#crossfitphysio#perthpersonaltrainers#perthcoach#perthphysio#physiotherapyperth#falsegrip#gymnasticbodies

19.01.2022 Why you should include Turkish/Kettlebell Getups In your training program. You are a gymnast training single arm skills on horizontal bar or parallel bars. Skills such as a top change, blind change and healy require excellent single arm strength and stability. Build the movement and control you require with this exercise. You want to build strength and stability in an overhead position. This movement is perfect for crossfit athletes or weight lifters wanting to correct muscle... imbalances or improve their stability at the catching stage of an overhead lift. You are recovering from a shoulder injury. I often prescribe this as a rehab exercise for mid-end stage client’s with shoulder injuries. **Disclaimer** Please seek advice from a physio or qualified health professional before including this exercise in your rehab program. Injuries are complex and you should always seek an individualised opinion over a general one. Happy exercising @formotionphysio @range_of_motion #strengthtraining #gymnastics #gymnasticsstrengthtraining #physiotherapy #exerciserehab #crossfit #weightlifting

19.01.2022 Meet Chris! Chris trains at Range of Motion with his personal coach John. He also plays Rugby. Chris Sustained a shoulder blade injury during a rugby tackle several weeks ago. Initially he found olympic lifting difficult due to pain.... Chris and I worked together with his personal coach to modify his training program to allow for recovery of his injury. Load management and appropriate progression are so important when returning to exercise after injury. Here is Chris today performing a full snatch. The weight is 70% of his 1 rep max. The plan is for Chris to continue at this weight for the next 2 weeks before progressing. We want to avoid sharp spikes in intensity. Great work Chris! Glad you are back to doing what you love! @gl0veb0x @formotionphysio @range_of_motion @aus_bootcamps #exerciserehab #physiotherapy #shoulderrehab #shoulderstrength #olympiclifting #loadmanagement #snatch #fullsnatch

17.01.2022 Meet Ann-Kathrin, the first international student to attend one of my classes. She currently lives in Germany! We first met at HBF Adult Gym Fit a few years ago when she was studying/working in Perth. Ann-Kathrin was excited to learn that with online classes she would be able to continue her gymnastics training anywhere. I’m really happy that I can reach and help anyone through the power of the internet! Both as a coach and as a physio.

15.01.2022 #Repost @formotionphysio with @make_repost Why do we use gymnastics so much in our practice? We think of it as a continuation of Physiotherapy - which uses a combination of things like mobility, movement, strength, body awareness & mental training to take you out of pain/dysfunction.... Really, Physiotherapy should also aim to take you to levels of function above that so you become more resilient and resistant to relapse which is where gymnastics comes in! Gymnastics training is just further along the continuum of intensity/complexity to keep building all of those good things. It’s also fun (we think!) and has measurable goals and levels of achievement which helps in it being something you’re more likely to want to keep doing in the long run . . . . . @jasonciccotosto @studio_dre #physiotherapyperth#perthphysio#strengthtraining#mobility#Lsit#nsit#gymnasticsperth#gymnastics#movementismedicine#gymnasticbodies#perthfitfam#rangeofmotion See more

12.01.2022 3 reasons to train gymnastics rings (especially if you have never done gymnastics before!) Pulling muscle development: Develop strong back and arm muscles with pulling type exercises. Pulling exercises include ring rows, pull ups and for the advanced, muscle ups, among others. This type of training is particularly beneficial to people who perform predominantly pushing based exercises (such as chest and shoulder press). A good upper body training program should incorporate bot...h pushing and pulling movements. Adding rings based exercise is a great way of doing more pulling work. Increased mobility: It’s not just strength benefits that rings training offers! Many movements (such as skin the cat) can help to improve your mobility. Especially at your shoulders and hips. If a skin the cat sounds a little intimidating don’t worry! All movements can be scaled to gradually and safely build the necessary mobility required. Improved stability: Because gymnastics rings are unstable (free moving) you need to work to keep them still for certain exercises (such as an above rings support). Being strong and stable (having an ability to resist movement) can be helpful to reduce certain injuries. Interested in learning rings? Not sure how to start or don’t have the equipment? I offer weekly ForShoulders and backs - Pulls classes through Formotion Physio. Whatever your goal get there with the support of my coaching. Suitable for all levels.

07.01.2022 Was great to catch up with the gymnastics squad again after not seeing each other for 5 weeks! Thanks for coming @aaronantonas @ethan_andersson @aidan_marcov @_louis.von_ We did an outdoor exercise session which included a beep test, body weight strength, sprinting, floor routine practice and many fun gymnastic skill competitions I’m doing what I can to keep my fitness up. Pretty eager to get back into the gym.... @starmites_gym_sports @smcheeranddance @formotionphysio #gymnastics #gymnasticstraining #gymnasticsclass #gymnasticsstrength #bodyweighttraining #bodyweightstrength #handstands #backflips #backsault #gymnasticsaustralia #gymnasticswa #perthgymnastics #perthfitness

07.01.2022 Weird flex but ok......Yes I can do the splits and plenty of other cool things. You can too! New online For Splits and Handstands combined 1 hour and 30 minute class. On every Sunday at 2.30pm starting the 24th of May. The Splits part focuses on hip/leg flexibility. Perfect if you are stiff in your lower body.... The Handstand part focuses on building the necessary mobility and strength to achieve a handstand and associated skills. Its a fun way to build a better body. Classes are appropriate for any level (seriously! I’ll modify exercises to suit your skill level).

07.01.2022 Here is your reminder to maintain a training load while away from the gym! A prolonged break without any training leads to reduced fitness. Reduced fitness and a sudden increase in load (like returning to the gym and trying to do what you did pre COVID19) increases injury risk. Reduce this risk by continuing to exercise at home (maintain some of the load). This will help your coaches get you back to where you want to be more quickly and safely. If you have been a bit slack s...o far I encourage you to commit now. Focus on what you can do, not on what you can’t. Go for a walk around the block with immediate family. Practice your handstands. Perform strength exercises. Build basics. Rehab injuries. Attend Zoom classes instructed by your coach or health professional. Everyone’s home training load will be different. To get the most out of home training you should collaborate with your coach. In general do something and do it consistently. Real simple advice but essential. @formotionphysio @gymwa @gymaustralia @starmites_gym_sports @smcheeranddance @studio_dre #exercise #trainingload #loadmanagement #exerciserehab #strength #mobility #flexibility #gymnastics #gymnasticstraining #gymnasticscoach #physiotherapy #physio #physioforgymnasts #physioforathletes #gymnasticbodies #crossfitperth #gymnasticswa #gymnasticsaustralia #perthfitness #perthfitfam

06.01.2022 #Repost @formotionphysio with @make_repost Get to know our classes! ForSplits & Handstands Wednesday @ 12pm (Osborne Park) Sundays @ 2.30pm (West Perth)... Handstands require a lot of upper body strength and fine control and balance, which means you often need a lot of rest between reps/sets to let your nervous system recover. This is why we've created this perfect combo class so that while your top half rests, you can still be working on your lower body hip flexibility that will slowly, gradually (how mobility should be!) work you towards a front and side split! -------------------------------------------------------------- Book in via our website. Some of our classes are also claimable on private health if they are part of your Physiotherapy rehab - contact us for details. * * * * * #perthclasses#handstandclassperth #splitsclass #hipmobility #shouldermobility #tspinemobility #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #yogaperth #functionaltraining #flexibility #stretch #perthtraining #activeinperth #muscleup #dip #splits #frontslit #sidesplit #functionaltraining#gymnasticbodies #hipstretch #handstanddrills #handstandcoach #gymnasticssperth #perthgymnastics See more

05.01.2022 Floor handstands A great exercise to work the body positioning required for handstands. How to perform:... Lie down on your back with your arms overhead. Extend your wrists so your fingers are touching the floor. Tuck your hips under so your lower back presses into the floor (think tucking your tail underneath). *Pro tip: Squeeze your glutes to help this action* Lift your feet and legs off the floor. Aim for a 5-10cm lift. Hold as able. Keep your lower back in contact with the floor. Stop the exercise if your lower back lifts off. Continue to breathe regularly throughout the hold. Have you ever tried this exercise before? How long are you able to hold it for? #gymnastics #handstand #handstandpractice #handstanddrills #handstandtraining #gymnasticstraining #gymnasticsdrills #adultgymnastics #crossfit #perthfit #perthexercise #perthphysio #physioforgymnasts #physioforcrossfitters @formotionphysio

05.01.2022 Wrist joint self mobilisation This is a great warm up exercise for when wrists are feeling sensitive or stiff into extension. Like in a front rack or handstand. How to do:... Kneel down and place your affected hand flat on the ground. Take your opposite hand and place it over your wrist joint. With your unaffected hand keeping the pressure back and down, oscillate backwards and forwards and/or on an angle. This will depend on where you are most stiff. Reps and sets will vary depending on the individual and/or issue. As a general guide 10 reps and a couple of sets is a good starting point. **Not medical advice. If you experience worsening pain or no improvement in stiffness consult your Physio. @formotionphysio @smcheeranddance @studio_dre #wristjointpain #wristpain #handstand #frontrack #frontrackmobility #olympiclifting #perthcrossfit #perthweightlifting #perthgym #perthphysio #perthgymnastics

05.01.2022 Mobility training is one area I’ve been able to work on consistently this year. With purposeful, consistent training comes progress. I am most excited about the progress I have made on my straddle and middle splits. Not quite flat but very close! This extra mobility will help many of my gymnastics skills. #mobility #mobilitytraining #hipmobility #gymnastics #gymnasticsmobility #adultgymnastics #physiotherapy #perthphysio #perthgymnastics @formotionphysio @studio_dre

04.01.2022 #Repost @formotionphysio with @make_repost For anyone starting to feel the achyness of sitting all day from getting close to finishing Netflix or being stuck working from home .Getting into a regular mobility routine can help reduce some of the soreness and tightness that can come with prolonged sitting (or any sustained position). When you sit for long periods (>30 minutes) your body tends to move into a forward flexed posture (hunched/rounded back and bending at t...he hips). This mobility routine counteracts those positions by moving your hips, back and shoulders into the opposite position to sitting. In Order:Hip flexor Stretch + Progression (adding in quads) - these tend to get tight when you sit for a long time in hip flexion.Floor Angels - for opening up the upper back and stretching the pecs. & Wall Angels (same video) - for strengthening the muscles that keep the upper back open and counteract overactive pecs.Banded rows - to strengthen the upper back muscles and get you moving in the opposite way to sitting. More instructions for each exercise in the video - how long to hold/how may reps to do is always very individual - so some of the suggested times are only a rough guide and will depend on what your body needs . If in doubt or if you need something more individual get in touch (email or call/text is best!)

02.01.2022 Congratulations Vicki @wiebkeledowski for landing your roundoff backsault off the trampoline Soon you will have it on the floor @studio_dre #adultgymnastics #gymnastics #trampoline #backsault #roundoffbacktuck

01.01.2022 As restrictions ease and you return to exercise/sport you can lower your risk of injury by gradually returning to your full training load. Your return to ‘normal’ exercise/sport plan will depend on what you are returning to and your current fitness level. Individualised advice can’t be provided in an instagram post You should talk to your coach or health professional about what is right for you! Just remember that often injuries occur after doing too much too quickly after... doing too little for too long. Appropriate loading is key For example, when gymnastics finally returns I’m going to need to carefully reload my tumbling capacity. A double backsault probably won’t happen on hard for at least a few weeks (or months) That sucks as I’m pretty eager to do it again! But I know I need to allow my body to gradually adjust to these demands. Until then I can make sure i’m doing some plyometric work at home focusing on quality landing mechanics. When I return to gymnastics I can start with basics and do my more difficult tumbles initially on an air track (softer surface) or into a pit. Do you have a return to exercise/sport plan in place? If not have a think on it. Doesn’t need to be 100% clear now (nor should it). Everything is still uncertain. Just start thinking.
