20.01.2022 Just because manual therapy isn't "essential" doesn't mean it's not valuable. Whilst you can't break down a knot or realign a joint back into place, you can still have an effect on people's pain, but by different means! It's important to note that not all manual therapy has the same effects. For example, massage has been found to release our naturally produced pain chemical oxytocin, manipulation does not. ... When I used to work in a multidisciplinary clinic I was forced to use manual therapy all the time, frankly because our appointments were so short I didn't have time for much else. In @myoactive I do use it, but as part of a bigger picture approach. Manual therapy is NOT a long term management solution. It is well documented in research that its effects are short lived. However, it does give a window of opportunity. If you can relieve pain in order to help someone reconnect with weak, pain inhibited muscles, then that's useful. If you then teach them techniques they can do at home to continue to provide short term relief and enable rehab to occur, that's useful too. If you are a "no pain, no gain" kind of therapist, then consider on an individual basis whether that's appropriate. By producing pain through manual therapy you might reason that you are helping to activate the body's natural pain relieving response. But what if you actually provoke the brain to guard the area even more, because in its heightened pain state it believes this intervention is dangerous? Poke Poke, Scraping BS. When you are using manual therapy, watch out for the muscles at the injured site. Are they tightening up further? Is the client generally looking more relaxed or more tense than when you started?? I found this review super interesting: https://www.researchgate.net//275541654_The_Role_of_Descen #evidencebased #myotherapists #myotherapy #sportsmedicine #myoactive #afl #movementismedicine #strengthbasedrehab #strengthandconditioning #dryneedling #cupping

20.01.2022 Ankle Prehab . Speed and Agility both rely on the Ankles! So, if you're out playing some tennis, soccer, basketball, running or just even doing some serious weightlifting, put some love into your training program with this Ankle PreHab routine. . Start with some soft tissue therapy on both the foot and the calf muscles.... . Next, work to improve your mobility and increase the Range of Motion of the foot and ankle with these PNF stretches and exercises. . Then fire up your neuromuscular connections and proprioceptors with some Activation Exercises before improving your body control with a series of Stability Exercises. . Lastly, increase the 'work capacity' of your ankle joints with a couple of Strengthening Exercises, including some Ankle Hops- testing how high and how long you can last with solid form (keep a stable and neutral spine and minimize the flexion of the knees and hips - make the ankle and foot create the hops). . Be sure to include a little Ankle PreHab into your training at least twice a week, if not more, especially if you're an athlete who performs with a high level of agility in their sports. . #myotherapy #myotherapist #rehab #strengthening #gym #corestrength #pilatesforathletes#core #pilatesformen #injuryprevention #muscleinbalances #cardio #physiotherapy #prehab #abdominals #rehabpilates #backstrength #physiomelbourne #massage #triggerpoint #therapy #clinical #sportsmedicine #myoactive #myotherapists #myotherapymelbourne See more

19.01.2022 Sounds logical right? But how often do we deal with the symptom? Anti-inflammatory meds for inflammation which is caused by something else. ... Pain killers to dampen the pain which is caused by something else. Orthodics for foot pain but not actually strengthening the foot. A cortisone injection for pain management but not addressing the problem. We've become masterful at hiding symptoms, but have you addressed the actual cause? At MyoActive we address the problem, focus on your goals and educate you on long term pain prevention. We cannot wait to see you all again soon!

17.01.2022 3 simple words... R U OK? As a Myotherapist this roller-coaster is taking it's toll, not just on us but all our clients. It's been an incredibly challenging year, and some are coping better than others.... I love my job, workplace and the people who surround us and I wouldn't change it, so let's all take the first step and check up on each other! Start the conversation today, call 3 friends, & simply ask "R U OK?". It's ok to not be ok. Rehabilitation isn't linear and either is human emotions, take time out of your day to focus on the little things in life. #ruok #ruokday #help #myotherapists #myotherapy #myotherapist #itsoktonotbeok #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #exerciseismedicine #movementismedicine #sportsmedicine #myoactive

15.01.2022 You might read this post and think - why does it matter? As long as a treatment makes you feel better, it's not important how it works, right? Well that depends! Let's say you have back pain and have been told that one of your discs or back is out of alignment. That belief means that every time you have a relapse, you believe you must see a therapist to have it "put back in", otherwise it won't get better. You might be scared to do gentle exercises or your every day tasks, i...n case you make it come out again! It may make you scared to move, fearing that you have an unstable spine, imagining something similar to a fracture. This fear and belief does NOT help your recovery! Your brain will be on red alert protection mode, provoking pain responses to guard against anything that might worsen the instability. You see your therapist, they "put it back in" and you feel better. Until next week. Because if in the back of your mind you still have this deep seated fear that there is something fundamentally wrong with your skeletal system, any twinge is likely to set your brain off to guard that part of your body. So yes, how you understand your diagnosis, and the impact of your treatment really DOES matter! The goal of physical therapy is to get you better, not rely on maintenance treatments. SHOULD you have a relapse, we will give you the tools, education and strengthening exercises to ensure you are confident to self treat and manage the flare up. #myotherapymelbourne #myotherapy #myotherapist #myotherapists #alliedhealth #injuries #painmanagememt #painscience #sportsmedicine #movementculture #movementismedicine #myoactive #myo #sports #sportmanagement #softtissue #chiropractic #osteopathy

13.01.2022 I would say it is rare to see someone in the clinic with strong glutes....that's how common weakness is. Once you fall into this circle of inhibition, you need to be proactive in strengthening, and continuing to keep them strong, especially if you are in a desk based job. Our naturally sedentary lifestyles usually start the cycle, but they also continue to propel it. A myotherapist can help find the position/exercises that enable the best glute activation. Squats are known a...s good glute strengtheners, but if your body has adjusted to doing this movement without activating them, then no matter how many squats you do your glutes aren't going to get stronger! So phase 1 is activation. Once you've got them going, you can re-teach that activation in functional movements such as squats. #coreyoga #glutes #gluteactivation #sedentarylifestyle #pilatesbacktobasics #personaltrainer #physiotherapist #physicaltherapy #yogainspiration #pilatesfitness #pilatesworkout #mumswhorun #runnersknee #hiitworkout #squats #injuryrecovery #pilatesinstructor #myotherapy #myotherapist #myotherapists

12.01.2022 Muscle Contusions - Muscle contusions or corks are bruising/swelling following a direct blow to a muscle, usually during sport . - Muscles contusions generally take 2-3 weeks depending on how severe the injury. ... As a rough guide: Mild - 13 days, moderate - 19 days, severe - 21 days. - The goal for the first 24-72 hours is to follow the R.I.C.E method (as shown above) to reduce any further damage, limit excess swelling and reduce pain to help promote healing. - Things to AVOID in the first 24-72 hours are heat , alcohol, running/exercise and massage as these increase swelling and bleeding and may also cause further injury/damage to the area. Lymphatic Drainage may assist swelling! - Let us KNOW if you found this helpful and TAG a friend that may need this info. See more

10.01.2022 Achilles Tendon Prehab The Achilles is often overused in compensation strategies and under-cared-for in a training program. . Soft Tissue Therapy ... Start with the hips and work all the way down to the foot. Get everything in between and don't rush through the soft tissue therapy if you're an athlete who runs a lot like myself. . Mobility Use a series of PNF Stretches and the Contract-Relax technique to restore the Range of Motion in the Ankle and Hip. Make sure you can achieve: Dorsiflexion of 30 degrees Hip Extension of 10 degrees The Achilles will be the compensation vehicle if you lack the range of motion in either. . Activate Fire up the glutes, the foot and the entire Posterior Chain and get those neuromuscular connections firing! . Stabilize Use a resistance band to help develop the adequate amount of strength throughout the Ankle's entire Range of Motion and then perform some Single-Leg exercises on an unstable surface to test this strength and the neuromuscular coordination and responsiveness. . Strengthen Focus on strengthen the Glutes, Foot and the rest of the Posterior Chain. Any weakness of dysfunction in the Posterior Chain becomes a red flag for the Achilles as the calf and foot will be one of the main culprits in helping to develop compensation strategies that can lead to injury. .

09.01.2022 Use your muscles! Today’s hack goes to fixing joint locking when in a quadruped position, which will help your plank and you’ll finally see that arm muscle definition you were looking for! Something quite extraordinary happens when you start to use your muscles, that is, that you start acquiring better load distribution and in this case a better joint alignment through wrist, elbow and shoulder. ... Raise your hand if you like to hang out on all fours while sitting on your joints rather than using your incredibly clever muscle co-contraction system? I used to! On the left, we can almost surely predict wrist, elbow and shoulder pain. On the right, you can clearly see the muscle engagement of the triceps and biceps. The pecs and serratus anterior are also working to lift that shoulder and upper body weight off the elbow and wrist! Let’s be more like the photo on the right and you’ll see that planking won’t seem as hard anymore and your wrists, elbows and shoulders will be thanking you! friendly reminder as therapists! #myoactive #jointhemovement #movementismedicine #myotherapy #myotherapist #physicaltherapist #physiotherapy #dryneedling #cupping #melbournemyotherapy #jointpain #sportsmedicine #remedialmassage #massage #myotherapists

03.01.2022 Joint distraction mobilizations . The ankle in my opinion is one of the most common joints needing mobilisations! . Self ankle distraction mobilizations using @myoactive resistance bands.... . Works well when you do a few repetitions of: - active ankle dorsiflexion/plantar flexion. - inversion/eversion - ankle circles before relaxing fully letting the band apply the distraction on the joint. . Increase the tension by moving further away from the band attachment as shown in the video. . Very important to combine this increased mobility in with an integrated movement after.

02.01.2022 Glute Bridge Hack Glute bridges are a basic bodyweight movement. All too often though, we aren’t doing them correctly! AND even the most advanced exercises needs to return to that FUNDAMENTAL move. It’s called the Glute Bridge for a reason Not because random muscles are working, but because your GLUTES should be powering the movement! One of the things that happens most often is that, in an attempt to bridge up HIGHER, the lower back is used when it isn’t needed. And th...is attempt to push harder can end up in low back pain and not using the correct muscles. Why does this happen though? Well, when we are focused on simply bridging up higher to replicate a movement, instead of focusing on the muscles that should be working, our bodies recruit whatever muscles are easily available to meet our demands! In the bottom photo, there is an increased demand on mobility out of an area that really shouldn’t be providing that mobility. And overtime, it could cause an overuse of muscles that aren’t meant to handle the load. This is often happening because our body takes the path of least resistance to do the movements that we ask of it. And this process of compensation could be happening due to our hips being tight and our glutes and abdominals being underactive. In the photo on top, the key difference is a posterior pelvic tilt. Abs can be engaged, hyperextension of the lumbar spine and crunching on the cervical spine prevented and the glutes are giving the correct power to the bridge and hip extension. To do the posterior pelvic tilt, feel the space between your low back and the ground and push that space away so you are tilting your hips and pressing your low back into the ground. As you exhale, actively draw your belly button in toward your spine. Keeping the core engaged like this, peel away from the floor one vertebra at a time and bridge upwards and squeeze your butt! #myoactive #myotherapy #myotherapist #movement #physio #physiotherapy #physiotherapist #glutes #legday #glutecontrol #lowerbody #exercise #running #walking #jogging #glenwaverley #glutebridges

01.01.2022 Want to protect your knees and ACL? . Train your toes to point forward. 'Toes Out' alignment is a common compensation pattern created by habitual sitting. . When you sit for prolonged amounts of time, your hips 'turn off,' which is unfortunate because the hips are responsible for lateral and single-leg stability. ... . This, the body learns to turn the toes out to create a larger base of support on the ground to help balance. . However, when the toes turn out, the ensuing collapsed foot arch will apply added pressure to the ACL as a way to keep the knee from collapsing inwards and can lead to ACL tears when running or playing sports. . Prevent Injuries Correcting Toes Out will start with soft tissue therapy on the foot to help strengthen the arch and follow with a series of exercise to help activate the proprioceptors in the calf as well as the muscles of the hip that are responsible for lateral stability. . Practice these exercises: Single Leg Heel Lifts 1-2 sets of 5-10 reps Lateral Lunge and Reach 1-2 sets of 10-15 reps Single Leg Rotation 1-2 sets of 5-10 reps Side Plank Holds 2-3 sets for 30+ seconds each Air Squats with Resistance Band Attempt to press the knees out as you squat to activate the lateral hip muscles 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps Speed Skaters 2-3 sets of 5-10 reps each Single Leg Deadlifts 2-3 sets of 5-10 reps each Include these exercises into your PreHab for the next 4-6 weeks and see how much of a difference it makes for you! . #rehabilitation #prehab #kneepain #acl #aclrecovery #aclrehab #buildingathletes #afl #aflw #movementismedicine #sportsmedicine #myoactive
