24.01.2022 How to trap bar deadlift Our favourite cue here at Peak Physio for a trap bar deadlift is to imagine you are picking up a pair of grocery bags by your side. ... If you want to start learning how to do a deadlift the best place to start is having the weight by your side rather than in front of you. We are lifting things off the ground all the time in life, why not train for it? #happydeadlifting #peakphysio #trainforlife #physioexercises #getstronger
22.01.2022 Unfortunately, rehabilitating an injury is not a simple straight upwards trajectory. There will be peaks and troughs, however the important thing is that those ups and downs still create an upwards trajectory as indicated by the red line. This means that it’s okay for you to have tough days with your injury. It doesn’t always mean it’s going backwards or not getting better. The key is too zoom out and look at the overall change over time. #rehabjourney #biggerpicture #upsanddowns #peakphysio #wang #benalla
22.01.2022 The weather is looking up, which means it’s time to get your running efficiency up to scratch. Try this running drill before your next session. It aims to promote striking your foot underneath your body instead of striking in front of you. This is beneficial to improve your running economy. When striking out in front of your body, you essentially need to put the ‘brakes’ on rather than propelling your body forward. This can increase risk of injury and reduce your running spe...ed. Give it a go and drop us a comment to tell us how you went Happy Friday! #runningeconomy #energyefficiency #forwardnotbackwards #physiodrills #runlikethewind #peakphysio

20.01.2022 Myth Busting Monday’s Squat technique - hips or knees first? Squatting seems like such a natural movement but it is the most common movement we see that’s done terribly. A squat is a complex movement pattern that is great to strengthen your legs, but if done poorly leads to training the wrong movement patterns increasing your risk of injury. ... A common cue we hear is to sit your bum back or push your bottom backwards. This cues your hips to move first then your knees. However this will increase load on your spine rather than your legs. Time to change your cue! Try bending your knees first and imaging you’re spreading the floor with your knees and thighs. Your hips and back will follow. Compare the first sets of Abby’s squats to the second where she is bending at the hips first versus when she bends are knees first. Give this a go and would love to hear what differences you feel in your squat technique! #qualityoverquantity #squatsfordays #physiostrength #peakphysio #wangaratta #benalla
19.01.2022 Do you want to run so fast that the camera catches you blurry? To bump up your PB’s and reduce risk of injury, check out our runners program. We assess your running, movement patterns and screen for any risk of injury and we then use that information to create a personalised strength and conditioning program. email us for more info! ...

19.01.2022 Footy preseason is in full swing. Preseason is the time to strengthen and condition your body for the season ahead. It is especially important this time round because we missed out on a 2020 season! That means our body will be more out of shape. Now is also the time to refine any niggles or twinges that are popping up. The worse thing is missing even one game of footy in season due to injury. Preseason is the time to prevent and manage any injuries so the season is smooth sa...iling. Make an appointment with us if you are wanting to refine your preseason training and/or resolve any injuries.

18.01.2022 THE PUSH UP! Everybody knows what a push up is - but does everyone know how to do one well? One of the most common technique problems for a push up is what part of your body you are aiming to touch the ground or box. ... Most aim for their face to get as close to the box or ground as possible. If you watch the first round of push ups our Physio Abby completes, you’ll notice that by trying to get her nose/face to touch the box there are some technical problems: 1. this puts her upper back in a rounded position making it hard to produce force through her shoulders and back. 2. Her neck is not stable - it’s moving forward and back, putting strain through her neck. Both of these technical problems can lead to shoulder, upper back and/or neck pain. To prevent this all you need is a slight change - focus on aiming for the bottom of your chest to touch the box or ground. By watching the second round of push ups Abby completes you’ll see this rectifies those technical errors. Push ups are a fantastic and easy setup exercise to strengthen your upper body, but that doesn’t make them an easy movement to master. Give this simple change a go and we’d love to hear what you think! #strongshoulders #pushupsfordays #qualityoverquantity #peakphysio #wangaratta #benalla
16.01.2022 Toddy’s favourite exercise! The single leg hip extension Why? Todd loves it for those wanting to improve their running and sport performance, as well as for anyone with knee, hip or back pain. A single leg hip extension focuses on strengthening your Back extensors-Glute-Hamstring complex in a lengthened state. It mirrors the role these muscles play in running, jumping and lifting.... Stay tuned for a no gym equipment version of this! #worktheglutes #running #sportperformance #hipextensions #peakphysio
15.01.2022 Todd’s favourite exercise with no gym equipment! The single leg good morning exercise is one of the closest exercises that mirrors the single leg hip extension. Both focusing on your hamstring and glutes in a lengthened state while keeping a nice long back. We only need a theraband to setup the good morning! Scroll to a previous post to see the gym equipment version of the single leg hip extension. ... Happy Friday! #hipexercises #glutehamstringraises #goodmornings #nogymequipmentneeded #peakphysio
14.01.2022 THE LUNGE One of your least favourite exercises, but one of the most important. It’s not often that we are moving at a fast pace on two legs in any sport or even when simply walking. This means single leg training is super important to get a functional translation in your sport performance. The lunge is a good place to start and can be done in many different ways. Starting with a stationary lunge is best to reduce balance limitations and where the weight is placed will sl...ightly alter the dominant muscle groups working. Here, Todd has a barbell on his back, putting the weight behind him to focus more on the glutes. Happy Lunging for your Friday #lungesfordays #sportperformance #physiogym #peakphysio #wangaratta #benalla
13.01.2022 WORKOUT BUDDIES! Working out with a friend, doggo or human, can help you stay accountable to your goals and simply to show up and move your body! It is recommended that adults complete 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity 5 days a week to prevent the onset of chronic conditions including soft tissue injuries! ... During the COVID-19 lockdown, we have seen a large reduction in how often we move our bodies. However, things are changing and now is the time to get back into your physical activity goals. Getting back into it is always the hardest to begin with, making workout buddies a great way to push you along! Who’s your workout buddy? Pictured is Abby’s border collie, Wally. #workoutmotivation #stayaccountable #pupperdoggo #workoutbuddies #peakphysio
13.01.2022 What is strength? Often we associate strength with a specific type of activity such as lifting weights. Strength is more than an activity though. Strength is simply the ability to complete a movement without causing pain, fatigue or dysfunction. ... There are lots of different ways to get strong, but we know you need to be strong to be able to complete a task you once were unable to do due to pain. That is one of our role’s as Physios. To help you find your favourite way to get strong and build your strength in a smart way to increase your loading capacity. Come check out our gym! It is so much more than lifting iron. #getstrong #staystrong #morethanweights #physiogym #peakphysio
11.01.2022 Abby’s favourite exercise! The deadlift Why? It’s versatility! There are many a ways to complete a deadlift as Abby shows you here. You can change the equipment you use, your foot position, your leg position, and this will alter what you strengthen. The deadlift is also a functional movement you can train that will translate to your everyday bending and lifting tasks. ... Happy Monday #deadlifttillimdead #deadliftfordays #strengthtraining #physiostrength #peakphysio
11.01.2022 ACHILLES PAIN Your Achilles is such an important tendon to create a spring in your running. It is what boosts you off the ground when you jump. Achilles pain is one that can creep up on you. It’s there when you warm up then eases up once you get into your running session. You may feel it the day after a session and it’s tender to touch. Don’t let the pain get to the point when you need to stop running or competing in your sport. ... The longer you leave Achilles pain, the longer it takes to return to your sport. Tackle it when you notice those signs and symptoms, and we can have back to running in no time! #achillespain #achillestendonitis #achillesrupture #noticethesigns #peakphysio

05.01.2022 Knee pain and lunges Lunges are a great exercise for the quads and glutes, but it’s a common exercise that most people avoid due to it flaring up their knee pain. Lunges are a great exercise to actually strengthen the knee, which when done well can help resolve knee pain! ... Lunges can come in many different ways - the best place to start for those with knee pain is a stationary lunge with a 3 second hold at the bottom as Abby shows you here. The stationary aspect helps to simplify the movement and the hold can help to settle knee pain. To nail a lunge, the most common movement problem is uneven hips which ends up placing more load on the knees. From front on, Abby uses her hands on her hips to give her feedback as to where her hips are sitting in the movement. The aim is to keep your hands even together. It’s time to bring back the lunge into your workout routine! #lungesworkout #stationarylunge #qualityoverquantity #kneepainrelief #kneepainexercises #peakphysio
02.01.2022 The most common question we get is why? Why am I injured? It all comes down to our understanding of the load we chose to put on our bodies and the capacity our body actually has to complete the task. If your capacity is greater than than the loading task then we have no problem. ... But if the load is greater than your body’s ability to take the load, that is when we get a problem. Subjecting our body to this repetitively is what can lead to overuse injuries which can seem very subtle injuries brewing over time. This phenomenon is also what we use to rehab the injury. We build your body’s capacity so that it surpasses the load you require from it, which also prevents any future injuries. Book in for an initial assessment to build your body’s capacity #loadoverload #injuryrecovery #injuryprevention #peakphysio #wangaratta #benalla
