20.01.2022 Do you have calf tightness or calf pain with running? Reduced capacity and strength is likely your issue! Calf tightness is common when we increase our running volume too rapidly (which is a common occurrence in Melbourne at the moment, there's no other sports and exercise to do!!). Try a calf raise endurance test to see if you have reduced calf capacity. Perform as many calf raises as you can - ... 1. go up and down at 1 second tempo, 2. keep your ankle straight, don't let it roll outwards, 3. if you lose height, tempo or feel the burn too much this is your limit. How many can you do, is there a difference between your left and right?? If you're a runner ideally we want close to 30 reps! If you have a deficit try a heavy calf raise off a step 3 sets of 6-8 reps to build up your strength! #calfpain #calfmuscle #physio #strengthtraining #sportsmedicine

16.01.2022 "CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IS BETTER THAN DELAYED PERFECTION" - MARK TWAIN It is like climbing a large mountain. Rather than one long steady slope, there are several peaks or challenges to overcome along your journey. If you look ahead, you can see the nearest peaks, but not the highest. You must keep pushing to reach the summit or your overall goal.... Never give up! #melbournesportsphysio #goals #exercise #conditioning #selfcare #improveyourself

14.01.2022 Would you rather hike up a mountain or lay on the beach? This has some of our team quite divided! What do you think?... #beach #mountain #rather #choices #getofthefence

14.01.2022 We're still OPEN during this current lockdown for people that are in pain and can't function. Our Blackburn, Essendon and North Melbourne clinics are available for Physiotherapy consults for those who need essential care. Telehealth options also exist for those that can't make it into the clinic, though our preference is to see you onsite in the clinic if you are in pain, and need assistance so your function doesn't deteriorate.... Unfortunately, under DHHS ruling, remedial massage appointments need to be rescheduled. We'll contact you if this is the case. Stay safe Melbourne, and if you're eligible, just hurry up and get your jab! #covid19#lockdown4.0#melbourne#openforbusiness#viclockdown#physio#physiomelbourne

13.01.2022 Can you use Medicare rebates for Physiotherapy in Melbourne? To cut straight to the point, YES you can use Medicare rebates for physiotherapy services! Physiotherapy is widely regarded as an excellent treatment option for a myriad of musculoskeletal conditions, such as hip and knee pain, shoulder rotator cuff tears and bursitis, tennis elbow, all tendon pain, low back pain and neck pain.... We want to be able to help as many people as possible, with all their musculoskeletal and sports injury needs, so our clinic is very proud to accept and process Medicare rebates for physiotherapy consultations. How does it work: Medicare rebates for physiotherapy? Overall, it is quite a smooth process to claim a Medicare rebate for physiotherapy sessions.

12.01.2022 "THE BEST INVESTEMENT YOU CAN EVER MAKE IS IN YOUR OWN HEALTH" Health is wealth. Doing our best to maximise our physical, mental and social well-being helps us get the most out of every day! This can take the form of calling and chatting with a friend, writing down three gratitudes or going for a long walk in the sun. All aspects of our health are important and matter. Finding time to look after these three areas is key to living a meaningful life!

12.01.2022 If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you - we all fall victim of staying within our comfort zone but we are here to encourage you to step outside of it today; do a few more reps, do a couple more metres or a few more minutes. We reap what we sow.

11.01.2022 A massive welcome back to Remedial Massage at Melbourne Sports Physiotherapy Massage is back up and running in the Essendon clinic.

10.01.2022 "THE BEST COACHES DON'T TELL YOU WHAT TO DO, THEY TELL YOU WHY YOU ARE DOING IT" When we know why we are doing something and how it will better us and the life that we live, it makes it easier to find the time in our day to do that thing. When we have a why in our minds, we find the energy and space in the day to work towards our goals in health and fitness. It might be a lower body strengthening for a higher vertical jump come game time or increasing our upper body strengt...h so that we can carry home grocery's or pick up our kids. When we have a why, we are pulled to put in the time and effort because we know it will optimise our wellbeing. Coaches that make the reasons to us crystal clear, are the best kind of coaches! #bestcoach #coach #whypower #melbournesportsphysio #melbournesportsphysiotherapy

06.01.2022 Can you do a bridge exercise without using your back? It is one of the most used exercises by physios that aims to target the glutes and hamstrings. Yet so many people end up using their back muscles to lift themselves up! Check out this video and then give the exercises a go. You'll be suprised by how challenging it is to do a bridge properly.... #glutebridge #pilates #pilatesbridge #exercisechallenge #physiotherapy #glutegains

06.01.2022 Have you ever been guilty of this exercise? We see it a lot in the gym, and people claim to be building up their rotational power of their shoulder. This isn't the best way to do this. Check out the video for a better alternative. It definitely isn't rocket science, so make the simple changes and get stronger, faster! #shoulderpain #shoudlerexercise #shoulderinjury #shoulderphysio #shoulder

05.01.2022 Remedial Massage Myth: The effects of remedial massage do not last. Fact: A great remedial massage therapist does more than just address temporary aches and pains. They want you to be as comfortable as possible after the massage’s effects wear off. Muscles have a long memory and if not addressed can get stuck in one position. Holding muscles in awkward positions can impact the nervous pathways throughout the body. ... For example, sticking your neck out to look at a computer screen for long periods at work. This could trigger neck and shoulder tension, upper back pain, and sometimes numbness and tingling down through the arms and hands. Regular remedial massages along with a massage treatment plan can alleviate pain and re-educate muscle memory to improve body mechanics and posture. #melbournesportsphysio #remedialmassage #benefitsofmassage #selfcare #improveyourself

05.01.2022 Control to Chaos It's not Maxwell Smart back again, but a great way to structure your rehab. So many people don't take the necessary steps in their rehab plan to get them back to a point where they are actually ready for a return to sport safely. You need to add some degree of chaos into your training. Check out Tony using the slosh bag to add some chaos into his program.... #chaos #exercise #returntosport #physiotherapy #sportsmedicine #contolchaos

05.01.2022 Does running ACCELERATE hip and knee osteoarthritis ABSOLUTELY NOT In August we posted an infographic dispelling some myths about running and knee arthritis. ... Here is another summary of a fantastic high-quality study that synthesised data of thousands of runners. It showed recreational runners had lower rates of hip and knee osteoarthritis (3.5%) compared to sedantary people (10.2%) and competitive runners (13.3%). If you are getting hip or knee pain from running at a recreational level, it is unlikely to be hip or knee osteoarthritis but moreso poor load management (too much, too quickly) or muscle imbalance! #physiotherapy #osteoarthritis #kneehealth #running #sportsmedicine #runningismedicine

04.01.2022 "STRIVE FOR PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION" It 's the progress that we make that counts the most. Not every time we train will we feel like it was the best ever That's ridiculous to expect. We have to trust the process and know that with time and a really good plan, we will see the changes that we want to see! Whether it be a faster 5 km or a stronger 1 rep maximum. ... If we stick to our goals and show up for our training, we have to leave room for times when our session isn't "perfect" or the way we wished it would be.

02.01.2022 A study so big that an NFL star and a hip hop icon tweeted about it! If you've played a team sport you've almost definitely been told by the fitness coach to "get your hands off your knees" after a gut busting running effort. Well guess what, you can arm yourself with some research and tell your coach to get stuffed! Because a research article investigating the effectiveness of getting oxygen into your lungs by resting your hands on your knees is a win for the athlete.

01.01.2022 Repost from @global_specialist_physio and @thenerdyphysios - Did you know, some people's ACL tears actually heal themselves! Some people are actually suitable to avoid surgery for their ACL tear. Australia has the highest rate of ACL surgical reconstruction in the world. We are lucky to have a health system that allows many people to see a specialist quite quickly, however, could this mean people could be rushed into surgery #ACL #ACLinjury #ACLsurgery #ACLphysio #ACLrehab #ACLphysiotherapy
