25.01.2022 Regaining top plantar flexion height is a must, especially in runners or for those who run at speed. This specific drill is a way to increase capacity in this position and can be used in conjunction to other ankle exercises. * * * #footandankle #footrehab #notjustarolledankle #anklerehab #anklephysio #sportphysio #melbournephysio #exerciseroutine #melbournecbdphysio#sportsphysio #rehabtime #physiolife

24.01.2022 Here are some nice (but bloody hard) ways to strengthen a distal hamstring. This little progression instructed by Dr. Tim Sayer PhD (ACLr) is designed to teach people not to bias their previously injured side, and to get the hamstring conditioned in outer range. A basketball? It gets perturbation loads going to decrease unwanted shearing load. (Not your starting point, but certainly shouldn't be your end point) * * * *... * #kneepain #kneephysio #sportsphysiotherapy #rehabtime #exerciseroutine #Keiser #reconstruction #ACLr #hamstringstrength #chasingperfection #melbournephysio #melbournecbdphysio See more

23.01.2022 For those who have undergone an ACLr you will know it is such a journey. As part of the journey there will come a time and place when some people will want to return to sport. For those who intend to return to cutting activity, agility drills are a must and need to be progressed accordingly. After 10 super consistent months of intense Physio we are at this point we are here with a patient. This is such an exciting time for everyone involved, so we thought we would share a nice drill as part of the return to sport process. Stop, turn and push off. * * * #kneepain #kneephysio #sportsphysiotherapy #rehabtime #exerciseroutine #ACLr #reconstruction #chasingperfection #melbournephysio #melbournecbdphysio

22.01.2022 We spent some time today in a lunch and learn from Melbourne orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Austin Vo who’s expertise covers all aspects of shoulder and knee surgeries. Today we discussed the latest techniques and theories applied to common injuries like shoulder dislocations and ACL reconstructions. A strong working relationship between physiotherapists and surgeons is crucial. Patients receive much better care and outcomes when their surgeons and physios are on the same page for ...realistic recovery strategies and timelines. It also makes us far more empathetic and informed in our treatment plans to know what actually happens in a surgical procedure. Big thank you to Mr. Austin Vo and team from Melbourne Shoulder and Knee for helping us keep up to date on procedures like an arthroscopic Bankart repair, the Latarjet procedure and different ways to approach ACL reconstructions.

21.01.2022 This is a nice starting point and simple exercise for some isolated lateral hip strength. Get everything in line and put your hand on the hip. The cue we can give is "think long with the leg, and then slowly suction the ball back into the joint". Watch that as you fatigue you still engage through the intended muscle group! *... * * * * #painfreeliving #getstronger #exerciseroutine #hipstrengthening #hipstrength #mobilehips #hipcontrol #sportsphysio #melbournecbdphysio See more

21.01.2022 Physio: you need to build your calf capacity from a strength perspective. We obviously use a smith machine as best practice Patient: no problems Intervention set, monitored and patient returns weeks later... Physio: so how has it all gone!? Patient: awesome, I did what you asked, it worked and I CAN get to the required weight range in my program I’m also running pain free Physio: How did you improvise? Patient: Thanks to gumtree I purchased a smith machine myself, figured it would need to stay as part of my routine as a runner Physio: and getting to the right weight, did you have enough plates?

19.01.2022 We would be remiss if an end of season shout out didn't go to the troops at @rising.tc. It’s been a ripping season for the whole squad. It’s actually a tough ask to try and summarise every gutsy performance, slice of hard work, commitment and elite ‘culcha’ into one post. This squad has big dreams and we’re so here for everything that’s to come. A few biggies from Aussie Nationals to mention: @jack.lunn1 won bronze in his first crack at an Opens National Champs. For a 19 ...year old to juggle elite training, uni, work, friends and all the white remain a grounded piece of humble pie is a testament to who he is and where he’s going. He ran some gusty rounds and it’s all pennies in the bank for his development. @thefrypan_ checked off his biggest season yet with a full house of PBs across the 200m, 400m and 400m hurdles. He also showed how you can be the best shape ever and still be at the mercy of the 400mH. Running in medal contention and stumbling at the last hurdle was a shattering end to Conor’s season (still finishing 7th overall). But only an hour later he picked himself up and ran the Opens 4x400m, claiming a silver medal for Victoria and showing a lot of character in the process. Well done @rising.tc and Coach Steve Fabris on the huge year. Heads down, spikes on and get excited for an even bigger 2021/22 season. We’re really proud to be part of the journey. @rising.tc

16.01.2022 It is one thing to build strength however, with runners we need to develop stiffness for power generation and propulsion.

14.01.2022 How did you decide if you are ok to return to play following an ankle injury? Number of heel raises you can complete on both sides? You have your bulk back in your calf complex after a progressive ankle protocol (strength and control)? Your hop distance is the same? You have no pain with activity? Your range is in the joint is not limited for the activity you want to complete? Well we believe that you should go further and have a much closer look at how the joint performs on ...variables such rate of force production, ground contact time, flight time etc. We also believe that it must be examined under different states of fatigue. * * * * * #achilles #rehabtime #getitright #painfreeliving #tendon #strengthmatters #footandankle #footrehab #notjustarolledankle #anklerehab #anklephysio #sportphysio #melbournephysio #exerciseroutine #forcedecks #melbournecbdphysio See more

11.01.2022 The basics performed well will hold people in a really good position. The secret? Work out the problem and simply mix some clinical reasoning with some criteria driven steps for progression. If the joint integrity is fine but there is a glaring muscle deficiency, there is nothing wrong with performing isolated strength to build capacity and function. Sure, consider the "kinetic chain", just pick the right time you start to integrate it all back together!
