24.01.2022 Knee Braces for Osteoarthritis! Osteo-arthritis usually affects one side of the knee more than the other... Xrays and clinical testing are a reliable means of determining this... ... The 'UnloaderX' or 'Unloader1' deload the painful degenerative compartment of the joint and reduce pain... Noosa Sports and Spinal is an authorised practice for supply and fitting...by @hoggyphysio #kneeosteoarthritis #arthritis #kneebrace

24.01.2022 ANKLE SPRAINS Taping and/or bracing an ankle that has recently had a lateral ankle sprain reduces the chance of the ankle regressing into a chronic ankle instability condition by 62%... Experts are of the opinion that protective taping remains applicable in both games and training for up to six months...... (Doherty et al, 2016) #ankletaping #anklebrace #anklesprains See more

23.01.2022 Geoff Henke Olympic Training Centre - Last week was the official opening of the facility...Sports ministers, AOC officials, Olympic Winter Institute officials, past and current athletes attended the event to thank and honor Geoff Henke for persisting with the concept and funding of the centre...It will assist in training future winter Olympic champions...Respect!

22.01.2022 Cupping... It is purported that cupping reduces toxins but research does not support this... The kidneys and liver filter the blood....Perfusion into the muscles is increased by metabolic activity and not negative pressure from cupping...... There is no clear evidence that cupping improves recovery or performance in any way... #cupping #releasetoxins #recovery

22.01.2022 STATIC LUNGE HOLDS Yet another challenging exercise which emphasises the concept of "time under tension" as an ingredient of strength acquisition... by @hoggyphysio #acl #physiorehab #strength

20.01.2022 Groin Stretches Stretching the long adductors of the hip can improve hip mobility and reduce the incidence of back pain... Physiotherapists provide simple mobility programs that can be performed at home... by @hoggyphysio #groinstretch #adductorstretch #hipmobility

20.01.2022 Recovery from Sport... There are a number of well accepted principles of recovery after sport : 1. Sleep and planned rest... 2. Hydration 3. Nutrition 4. Active warm down 5. Compression garments 6. Ice-baths 7. Massage By @hoggyphysio #sportsmedicine #recoveryfromsport #recoverytime

19.01.2022 SINGLE LEG HOP TESTING The target according to studies is : Males 90% of their height / Females 80% of height....(Davies and Zilmer, 2000)... How do you fair? A battery of tests rather than relying on one test is important for determining return to sport following injury...by @hoggyphysio #returntosport #injurytesting #kneerehab #lowerlimbinjury

19.01.2022 ACL REHAB The strength and conditioning phase of rehab definitely requires load progression pending on your presentation and findings... Experienced physiotherapists have a variety of exercises to achieve more - some of the exercises can utilise inexpensive equipment and be performed at home or while on the road...By @hoggyphysio #kneerehab #kneeexercises #kneephysio

18.01.2022 Archies footwear are now available at Noosa Sports and Spinal Physio....The additional support in the longitudinal arch can reduce foot and lower leg pain. ..Come in and try them... A great product for summer and beach holidays... #archiesfootwear #footcare #archsupport

17.01.2022 OA AND KNEE Weight loss has a significant benefit on both function and pain - research reveals for 10% reduction in bodyweight there is 50% improved function and 50% less pain... (Messier et al, 2005) by @hoggyphysio #osteoarthritis #kneepain #weightloss

16.01.2022 REPEATED COACHED TRAINING REAPS REWARDS Confidence can be achieved with practise...Think of the energy systems and load variables you wish to challenge - here is a simple drill incorporating change of direction, absorption and take-off power... by @hoggyphysio #kneerehab #kneetesting #training

14.01.2022 Quads extensions and ACL... In the past open chain quadriceps drills were thought to increase graft laxity... Recent research challenges this and cites:... 1. Open chain exercises are safe and there is limited evidence of increased graft laxity 2. Open chain quadriceps isolate the muscle well for strength purposes 3. Increased quads strength is linked to better knee function, return to sports and less OA risk (Noehren et al 2020) by @hoggyphysio #quadriceps #aclrehab #kneefunction See more

14.01.2022 Swimmers Shoulder 30 - 60% of elite swimmers will have shoulder issues that have a mechanical impingement issue as underlying cause... Screening for injury risk is important because the findings can be rectified before significant tissue damage occurs...... Screening can also lead to corrective programs that enhance performance... There is a battery of tests that Sports Physiotherapists have expertise in...#injuryprevention #swimmersshoulder #swimminginjuries #injuryscreening by @hoggyphysio

13.01.2022 Knee Rehab Our physio team works hard capturing images and videos of effective exercises...We can share the most appropriate exercises with patients to allow the rehab to be simple and well organised....by @hoggyphysio #kneerehab #rehabexercises #rehabprogram

13.01.2022 MEDIAL HOPPING This activity and later to be used as a part of a test battery is sensitive and can differentiate the well trained athlete from the athlete needing more work... By @hoggyphysio #knees #rehabideas #ligamentstrains

11.01.2022 KNEE REHAB Adding a resistance band to increase genu valgum creates a realistic challenge to an athlete with these issues... The strength stimulus activates the hip muscles to increase contribution of control...... Left unchallenged the biomechanical issue can continue into impact/absorption phases easily...#qualityrehab #knees #targetyourweakness by @hoggyphysio

09.01.2022 LATERAL ANKLE SPRAINS There is good evidence to support that high dosages of exercise (900 mins total) will reduce the risk of a lateral ankle spraib becoming a recurrent instability concern... If rehab included 5 days of 30mins a total of 900hrs will be reached in 6 weeks...(Doherty, 2016) The exercises are available by consulting our physiotherapy team...phone now to book an appointment...link in bio by @hoggyphysio #anklesprain #ankleinjury #anklerehab

08.01.2022 Dusty Martin kicks back after a stellar game in the AFL Grand Final. He kicked four critical goals and was the recipient of the Norm Smith medal for best on ground. He can relax today and soak up this epic effort - maybe check in with the Richmond sports physio team tomorrow...by @hoggyphysio #aflgrandfinal #richmondtigers #sportsphysio

07.01.2022 PES ANSERINE BURSITIS There are three tendons that attach near the medial aspact of the knee - sartorious, gracious and semitendinosis... The bursa deep to these can become inflamed...The pain can mimic medial menisci issues but an experienced physio can differentiate based on palpation and testing...... Research into treatment is limited but strength and stretching of these muscles is recommended...(Helfenstein and Kurumoto, 2010) Nsaids and ice can help...Massage to the inflamed area will irritate it further...Optimal management of this condition is not simple as it challenges the patient to develop better biomechanics and a good training load... by @hoggyphysio #bursitis #kneeinjury #medialmeniscus

06.01.2022 Plantar Fascitis A progress strengthening program where the first toe is extended has revealed improvement in pain and function when compared to traditional stretching... Performing progressive and specific strength exercises every second day for 3 months was best (Rathleff et al, 2014)... Enquire for more specifics on equipment and exercise progression...by @hoggyphysio #plantarfasciitis #healpain #exerciseprogression

06.01.2022 SHOULDERS - The glenoid (socket) is very shallow and functionally facilitates movement...One of the common issues linked with many of the shoulder presentations is a lack of stability...There are some very effective exercises to deal with this...by @hoggyphysio #shoulders #shoulderpain #shoulderfunction

05.01.2022 DOES NECK MOBILITY DRILLS AFFECT SHOULDER PAIN? Repeated neck retraction and rotation exercises improves 70% of shoulder pain for those with a cervical(neck) history and 30% of shoulders without a cervical component... An experienced physiotherapist can assess whether the neck is contributing to shoulder pain based on three key behavioural components of the pain and a number of objective tests including Spurling's test and manual testing.

02.01.2022 Golf X- Factor The X-factor of the golf swing refers to the degree of rotation between the hips and the shoulders... A larger X-factor is related to longer distance and accuracy...Longer hitters have an x-factor in the range of 38 degrees where as shorter distance drivers have only 24 degrees rotation...... There are programs that a Sports Physiocan provide to maximise the angle and subsequent power...(McLean, 92) by @hoggyphysio #golfswing #xfactor #golfbiomechanics

02.01.2022 AGILITY Healthy males and females can perform 55 and 41 hops respectively with the 30 sec lateral hop test. (Gustavsson et al, 2006).. By @hoggyphysio #agilitytesting #speed #contacttime #hopping

01.01.2022 Kinesio Taping and Shoulders Kinesiotaping does not affect shoulder strength, proprioception or kinematic control in healthy or painful shoulders...(Keenan et al,2016 - PhysThSport) by @hoggyphysio #shoulders #kinesiotaping #sportstaping #shouldertaping

01.01.2022 Sleeman Freestyle Sports Centre had its official opening today...the centre is an excellent training venue for aerial and mogul skiing acrobatics...the air-rated water reduces injury risks...our Olympic sports physio @hoggyphysio enjoyed catching up with all the athletes and officials after an extended break due to covid...#auswintersports #freestyleski #aerialskier #snowaust

01.01.2022 Kinesiotaping - How you apply kinesiotape has no different effect... 'Sham' taping techniques verses kinesiotaping methods made no difference with respect to musculoskeletal conditions. (Ramirez et al, 2019) by @hoggyphysio #kinesiotape #kinesio #tapingtechniques
