21.01.2022 That constant, dull ache felt on one side of your head more than the other which lasts for days or even weeks... Yeah, we know that pain. It could be a cervicogenic headache, which are caused by abnormalities in the joints, muscles, nerves & fascia of the neck. These headaches are most common in people aged 20-60 years and contributing factors include whiplash, poor posture, and stress. Our physiotherapists can help ease this pain by correcting any abnormalities in the joi...nts & muscles of the neck through manual therapy & targeted exercises. If you’re ready to return to being free from pain & discomfort, book an appointment at one of our clinics today https://tinyurl.com/5duz5jjh

18.01.2022 Our Physiotherapist Emily, along with all our experienced physios, take a holistic view of their patient’s treatments. That means we involve other allied health professionals when we need to, to make sure our patients get the best results possible. Emily recently worked with Bob & diagnosed him with a rotator cuff injury. The initial response to treatment was promising, but within the space of a few weeks Bob’s shoulder became stiff & painful. We feared he may be develop...ing a frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis). We worked closely with a local orthopaedic specialist & Bob underwent a procedure (hydrodilatation) to increase the movement in his shoulder. As recommended by the specialist, Bob’s been attending regular physio sessions with Emily since this procedure to rehabilitate his shoulder. Now Bob’s movement is returning, the pain is subsiding & he’s back at work on light duties! We support our patients through every step of their injury recovery and it's SO SATISFYING seeing them recover. And when we work together with our allied health colleagues, you know you're getting top notch professional care

14.12.2021 4 things you should do after rolling your ankle Lateral (outside) ankle sprains are THE MOST documented musculoskeletal injury in active individuals. If you’ve accidentally tripped on uneven ground or obtained a sporting injury, here’s what you need to do ... RICE Rest. Ice. Compression. Elevation - immediately after injury. All of this will reduce swelling & pain. WEIGHT-BEARING & GENTLE MOVEMENT With most ankle sprains, it’s usually fine to bear weight depending on your level of pain. This can help rehabilitate the injury, improve strength & movement. It’s a common misconception that the injured joint needs to be immobilised. This can make things worse by weakening the muscles & causing more joint stiffness. EXERCISES Light range of motion (movement) & strength exercises when tolerated will help to rehabilitate the ankle faster. PHYSIOTHERAPY After an ankle sprain, a hands-on physiotherapy treatment can help to reduce pain & improve movement. We’ll also give you exercises that’ll help you avoid ankle reinjuries.

06.12.2021 Did you know that 80% of the population will experience acute (or sudden onset) lower back pain at some stage in their life? When pain strikes, our first and most common reaction is to treat it with pain relief medication, rest & avoiding activity. BUT this is a short-term fix & won’t rehabilitate your injury. Here’s what we recommend:... MOVE Early, gentle movement will the onset of stiffness, which will help pain! It also ensures your muscles stay strong. STRETCH Gentle stretches will help mobilise your spine & lengthen your muscles to pain, tightness & stiffness. WALK A short walk at a comfortable pace maintains muscle strength & joint mobility, which will get you back on your feet sooner! SEE YOUR PHYSIO Every back injury is different. Book in to see your physiotherapist as soon as possible to begin the healing process sooner rather than later. You can book your appointment by clicking this link https://tinyurl.com/5duz5jjh

17.10.2021 Colloquially, an Achilles heel is 'a fatal weakness or vulnerable area'. And it's pretty obvious that an Achilles injury causes a whole lot of strife for your lower leg, not to mention overall mobility The Achilles is the biggest, strongest tendon in our bodies & attaches the calf muscle to the heel bone. Achilles tendinopathy often occurs after a sudden increase in training load. Every day activities like uphill walking, running or even standing on flat ground can become painful and need professional attention. We treat it with an individualised exercise program, strapping & massage.

23.09.2021 Do you have any of these knee symptoms? They can be symptoms of Runner’s Knee (or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome - PFPS) People with PFPS may: Experience pain at the front of the knee when squatting/lunging Find walking/running, particularly going downhill, difficult due to pain...

It often occurs if you've suddenly increased or changed activity. Here are a few ways you can work to settle the pain at home: Taping the kneecap Apply ice Changing your activity to reduce load (like running on flat ground rather than hills) Cross-training to maintain fitness (including exercise bikes or cross-trainers) Massage for affected muscles Checking (& replacing) your footwear if you've worn down the tread Once the pain has subsided, it’s time to start a progressive loading plan to get you stronger & back in action If you’re tired of knee pain and read to get back to doing what you love, talk to one of our physios to get you back on track https://tinyurl.com/3ccps9w9
