25.01.2022 Another problem where exercise is one of the solutions. It's a good time to get started.

23.01.2022 Clicky knees? Arthritic knees? Knee pain from exercise? The expert opinion is NOT medication and surgery! Rather, load management and EXERCISE!!... https://www.smh.com.au//how-exercise-saved-my-clicky-knees To manage knee pain, message or call 4286 6566 and make an appointment to start your knee recovery. Don't forget to tag somebody who has painful knees and needs help!! #kneepain #knees #physio #physiotherapy #exercise #sportsmedicine #corrimal #woonona #fairymeadow #towradgi #wollongong

23.01.2022 Injury rehabilitation is a process, sometimes a very long one. In most cases, the aim is to be pain-free at the end of the process. However, this does not mean that the rehabilitation process will be, or should be, pain free. A large part of rehabilitation involves reloading tissues and stimulating tissue to strengthen / toughen up. Often, to accomplish a high enough load for this to happen, the tissue can become painful. Generally, we will talk about a mild to moderate ache ...being good for the tissue / joint: it has stirred it enough to make it want to adapt, bit not so much that damage has occurred. Wrapping a joint / tissue in too much cotton wool can be as bad as too much loading. Tissue often only heals to the level of load applied to it: no load, healing / toughening stops. One of the roles of the Physiotherapist is to guide this re-loading / toughening up process and monitor to ensure the load is in the sweet spot of not too much, not too little. Whilst no pain, no gain may not be quite correct, good pain for good gains may be more apt. #aesthetic #bodybuilding #crossfit #exercise #fitfam #fitness #functionaltraining #gains #grind #gym #healthy #injury #instafit #lift #muscles #physio #physiotherapy #powerlifting #shredded #teenaesthetics #teenbodybuilding #weightlifting #weighttraining #wollongong #workout #powerbuilding #sportsinjury #strong #crossfit

21.01.2022 . This is a " " , c1937 and made in London. Plain metal tubes and glass electrodes in various shapes to suit the body were fitted. The air in the glass electrodes was ionised by a high frequency electric current and a bluish-green light was produced. When placed on the skin, rapid oscillation of body cells and heating occurred.... By holding the electrodes off the skin, 2.5-5 could be produced to treat surface ulcers, muscle tears, neuralgia and back pain. #physio #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #sunic See more

18.01.2022 Many Sports Medicine Practitioners are predicting a spike in injuries with the accelerated return to sports in Australia. The lack of conditioning and the short time-frame for an increase in training and playing load is the reason given.

Potential at-risk areas include: * tendon pain / conditions... * joint pain (knees and shoulders) * lower back pain * knee joint injuries in sport (particularly ACL injuries) Don’t let pain or injury spoil your return to sport / gym or interfere with making those gains! Make a booking today to have an assessment of any niggles or injuries so you you can get back to exercising at 100% ! ************************************************************************************ Need an injury review or rehab program to get you back to lifting?

15.01.2022 Can we trust a trial with links to a major supplements company? "Rheumatologist and UNSW Professor Ric Day, who is also involved with the study, said osteoarthritis has an immense impact on people's physical and mental health, our health system and the productivity of Australian workers, and there is an urgent need for more effective, cost-effective and accessible healthcare solutions to reduce this burden of disease." How about mentioning the role of exercise and strengtheni...ng in the management of osteoarthritis? It has been shown to be very effective in up to 2/3 of cases of OA in knees. Simple and cost-effective! Tag someone who has arthritic knees who might benefit from an exercise-based program to improve their function and reduce their pain! Less medication, more activity could be the simple answer!! https://www.thesenior.com.au//can-osteoarthritis-be-effec/ Friends of Science in Medicine #physio #physiotherapy #oa #osteoarthritis #arthritis #kneepain See more

12.01.2022 The use of corticosteroid injections has increased in recent years, but does the evidence support their use? The table sums up the evidence, and it's not all good! https://bjsm.bmj.com//early/2020/01/29/bjsports-2019-101250 #physio #physiotherapy #sportsmedicine #pain #shoulderpain #kneepain #wollongong

12.01.2022 How should shoulder pain be managed? This study reports on GP Management in Australia. Conclusion: The usual care provided by GPs for RCRP relies on the use of ultrasound and steroid injection. This is not consistent with recommended care and clinical guidelines that recommend these are delayed until after 612 weeks of NSAID medication, exercise and activity modification. There has been a significant increase in the rate of steroid injection and ultrasound imaging, which may... be due in part to policy change. Only 12% of patients are referred for Physiotherapy!!! Does this lack of referral lead to poor outcomes for patients? And maybe lead to unnecessary surgery? So for management of shoulder pain, start with Physiotherapy and only progress to investigations and injections if there is no response!! Shoulder pain?

08.01.2022 ACL injury rates are much higher (<5x that for men). But, much prevention can be done via the way of prehab routines during raining. The AFL has "Prep to Play", soccer has the FIFA 11+ protocols and Netball has the KNEE Programme. Prehab/prevention is better tan injury. But, ACL injury does not necessarily mean you have to have surgery. Best practice now is to try conservative rehab for 3-6 months before considering surgery (unless you have other damage in your knee that doe...s require surgery).

07.01.2022 "MY back is painful..there must be something wrong!! I need an X-ray or MRI to find out what is wrong!!" This is a common reaction to having back pain. Unfortunately, it is not a productive road to follow. Imaging commonly reports normal age-related changes in terms that make it sound like there is something wrong or damaged in the back when this is NOT the case.... These reports are more likely to make somebody worry that whatever was found was the CAUSE of the back pain, and this is also rarely the case. This can lead to fear, more pain, unnecessary and unproven treatments and, ultimately, surgery which is not proven to be effective. Imaging should be reserved for when indicated (Red Flags) or when symptoms fail to improve after a reasonable time (usually about 6 weeks). Until then, there is no urgency to rush into imaging and investigations which may be more alarming than comforting. Pain relief, education and simple exercises will allow the majority of cases to resolve. If you have back pain, you do not need to have x-rays, CT or MRI done before attending for Physiotherapy treatment. If the Physiotherapist is concerned, you will be referred back to your GP or for imaging directly. So there is no need to delay you start your journey to recovery! If you have back pain, call 4283 6566 to book an appointment. #backpain #pain #physio #physiotherapy #medicine #corrimal #sportsinjury

01.01.2022 New Year, New You? Happens every year, with mostly the same you being the result? Why don’t resolutions endure? Why do they fail? Why do out best intentions g...o awry? Why is making a change so hard? Check yourself against the 5 ingredients of change: do you have them all? 1. Awareness there has to be an understanding that you NEED to make and change in your life and you have to be aware of the triggers for that change. 2. Desire - without truly desiring to make a change, there will be no change. A resolution has to be something you desire, and you have to understand WHY it will be of benefit to you. 3. Knowledge having committed to make a change in you life, you need to now HOW you can make that change. Here it may be beneficial to have some external guidance coach, mentor, friend who can instruct you in what has to be done to make the desired change occur. Or you may simply need to do some reading / research. 4. Ability the change you desire may require new skills. WHAT do you need to be able to do to effect this change? Can you do that now or will you need training? Is it realistic that you will be able to acquire the skills you need? What can I do before I have that skill? 5. Reinforcement there has to be some form of feedback to ensure that you are getting a benefit and there are no negative outcomes from your change! Positive reinforcement and tracking of change can help to keep you on track. A support person / team can be vital here to provide encouragement and monitoring. Consistent reinforcement is key to the MAINTENANCE of your changes!! #aesthetic #bodybuilding #crossfit #exercise #fitfam #fitness #functionaltraining #gains #grind #gym #healthy #injury #instafit #lift #muscles #physio #physiotherapy #powerlifting #shredded #teenaesthetics #teenbodybuilding #weightlifting #weighttraining #wollongong #workout #powerbuilding #sportsinjury #strong See more
