25.01.2022 What’s the difference? And how or why does it matter? Rest: is the cessation of activity or movement in order to relax, sleep or recover strength Recovery: processes or actions towards a return to a normal state of health, mind or strength... They sound similar and have a similar goals. Yet their process is completely different. Is one better? This depends on what you just did. A balance of both rest and recovery is optimal for returning to your normal state and gaining the most from smashing it at the gym or that huge bike session you did at Glen rock Active recovery involves intentional movement or activity. Post-endurance recovery between sessions sitting around 60-75% of HR for that workout for 10-30mins at low aerobic intensity. Post-strength recovery between sessions are lower intensity and involve similar movements to the workout session Its always easier to look at how and when by simply looking at sleep. Everyone needs it and getting enough QUALITY sleep (more on this coming soon) is important for not only recovering physically but mentally. Sleep disruption and not getting enough can have big effects on your recovery and bodies ability to adapt for your next workout. How much? Ideally, around 8 hrs of sleep (especially after a heavy day at the gym or game day ) anything less than 6hrs is not enough for just general recovery from a normal day, and getting too much can actually have the same effects as not getting enough. So after your next workout, lighter intensity movement around 10-30mins can help your body adapt to your training and get ready to kill it in the gym, in the water or where ever your smashing them goals! #physicaltherapy #rest #recovery #rehab #rehabilitation #strengthtraining #cardio #workout #workoutroutine

25.01.2022 You may have an injury BUT that doesn't mean you have to stop doing all the FUN stuff!

21.01.2022 All the best to Killer Mike Michael Holt from Cornerstone S and C this weekend as he completes an epic Ultraman. Massive respect to walk the walk in such a fashion, and for his relentless efforts to make a difference in people’s lives. May the sun be forgiving and the finish line beers be frothy.

19.01.2022 PAIN STORY 4 years ago Sam hurt his back when he picked up something that weighed about 20kg. His back was painful ... Then he hurt it lifting 8kg His back was very painful For the next few years he avoided lifting anything heavier than 8kg. Makes sense, right? He also stopped doing everything he enjoyed and modified every aspect of his life. For 4 years....... Today, he picked up 24kg. He makes it look easy, but this was not easy. Rehab for persistent pain is not easy. It is hard, can be scary and requires overcoming real and difficult barriers. But it is possible. Especially if you focus on getting MORE of your activity, meaning, enjoyment and LIFE back. Sam just bought himself a new pair of skates and is planning on cutting sick this weekend- so WATCH OUT!!! He will be getting radical somewhere out there.

17.01.2022 The ultimate 4 letter word R.E.S.T When it comes to rehab you want to be thinking about what you can do - until you can do what you can't do...

13.01.2022 This is Indianah Indi loves dancing especially tap and ballet When she isn’t pirouetting or shuffling down the dance floor, she loves to jump and run rings around her parents Indi came in with a sprained ankle and when she was ready we started to work on building her confidence and strength in her legs She made a super speedy recovery back to dance and is now working on plyometrics to help build some capacity around her ankle. This will help to help reduce the c...hances of this stopping her from doing what she loves Go Indi!!!! #rehab #rehabilitation #physiotherapy #strength #plyometrics

12.01.2022 LADIES, LISTEN UP! This Sunday, 20th of September, I'm running a workshop at @mindbodynewcastle on all things pain science & how to overcome barriers of the female athlete! This is relevant to you ALL, to better understand what pain is, why we experience it and how to manage it in or outside of a training setting. ... Secondly, I'll be addressing issues that too many women have to deal with and don't know how to overcome when exercising. It's such a grey area, even in research, so too many women are left hanging without being able to be physically active. The aim of this workshop is to give YOU the tools to be able to manage niggles, pain and overcome barriers in training so you can perform at 120%! Make sure you get tickets! Limited spots available.

09.01.2022 Most training and competitions are winding down as we all are with work or school. It’s a great time to take a break from our normal routines and spend time with the people that matter and doing the things that matter to us Rest and recovery are essential to any training program or schedule. It’s actually one of the main factors to how we adapt to training loads It just depends on how much. Research shows that prolonged periods of inactivity of more than 2-3 we...eks should be avoided to reduce the risk of detraining. Even within those periods small bouts of training at moderate to submaximal intensity are enough to help reduce the chance of detraining. Whether that’s on the track, on the field, or in the water for you something is better than nothing. So you can get back into the new year feeling fresh and ready to rock and roll in 2021! See more

08.01.2022 Overhead Squat It's a great way to test the movement across your whole body. It involves a lots of components of powerlifting and weightlifting movements. In terms of athletic performance and sports, it probably has good carry over to a variety of sports. If you've never done it before, give it a go as a warm up ... Start with a dowel before using a barbell Hands are placed outside shoulder width, if this is hard try in a snatch grip. Hold the dowel over your head a standing position, locking your elbows in extension. Squat down as low as you can and hold. Maintaining the overhead position, push through your heels up to the standing position. 1 3 Reps X 3 Sets, Tempo 2:10:1 ( 2 sec down: 10 sec hold: 1 sec up) Let us know how you go! #physicaltherapy #physio #squats #overheadsquat #strength #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #weightlifting #powerlifting #exercise #movement #movementismedicine

03.01.2022 Speed Going fast involves lots of factors. One is your ability to cycle through your gait as efficiently as possible. Small time spend in contact with the ground and being efficient with your limb movement are important in getting the most out of each step. The simplest way to do that is to sprint more. If you want to run faster, here are some things you can work! Place an down agility ladder or whatever you can find (Eg. Sticks or socks) 40cm apart. At the end place a ma...rker 4-5m away. After running through the ladder sprint towards the marker and walk back for recovery. 1 Forwards single foot in each square 3x1 2 Lateral single foot in each sqaure 3x1 (left and right) Give it a go!
