25.01.2022 Patellofemoral pain, or kneecap pain, will affect up to 25% of the general population every year. Prevention and management of patellofemoral pain can be challenging, but we recommend: Making sure all increases in activity and training load are gradual.... Maximising lower limb strength through hip and knee exercises. Doing a variety of activities - adolescents who specialise in just one sport or activity are more likely to develop patellofemoral pain. Other interventions such as knee taping, bracing and costly insoles may be useful, but should never be prioritised over exercise.... unfortunately there are no quick fixes!! #phillipsphysio #physio See more

18.01.2022 If youre looking to ease back into physical activity, your local physio can create a personalised fitness program to prevent injuries and get you back on the green. https://choose.physio/physical-activity #choosephysio

18.01.2022 We all know the dozens of health benefits that accompany regular exercise. But what is the recommended dosage for good health? As always, the appropriate level for you depends on several factors, namely your current activity levels and co-morbidities. ‘Moderate intensity’ will be different for everyone, again depending on your current condition. A good way to gauge moderate intensity - you should be breathing harder than normal, but still able to speak in sent...ences. #phillipsphysio #physio See more

18.01.2022 Check out our latest blog post to see why exercising is so important as we get older. Being a fit and agile 90 year old isnt necessarily only down to good luck or good genes - hard work, lots of moving and a can-do attitude come into it too!! Enjoy https://phillipsphysio.com.au/f/why-getting-older-should-no

16.01.2022 RUNNING IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOUR KNEES!!! Some really interesting research that has recently been conducted.... Turns out all of that recreational jogging you did in your younger years probably wasnt the cause of your arthritic knee pain. We know that most exercise and loading is not only good for our joints and bones, it is actually protective against chronic joint conditions. Running (at the right dosage!!) is no different. Build up gradually and slowly, an...d your knees might actually thank you in 20 years time!! #physio #phillipsphysio See more

16.01.2022 Osteoarthritis is a condition that many of us have heard of, but surprisingly few know what it actually is. There are several types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis being the most common form. It is a common joint disease that usually affects middle aged and elderly people. While some people will describe osteoarthritis as wear and tear, we know that osteoarthritis affects the whole joint - the cartilage, joint lining, ligaments and bone.... Osteoarthritis most commonly affects the hand joints, spine, hips, knees and great toes. Interestingly, osteoarthritis symptoms can vary greatly among patients. Physiotherapy and exercise is very important in osteoarthritis management for managing pain and improving and maintaining joint function. #phillipsphysio #physio See more

16.01.2022 And we are back!! Just a reminder that we reopen today after our two week Christmas break.

Limited availability for the remainder of the week... contact us or book online to secure your appointment. #phillipsphysio #physio See more

16.01.2022 Here is Duran showing us how its done... he has been working diligently to rehabilitate a chronically unstable ankle and is doing remarkably well. The cone pick-up is a favourite ankle rehabilitation exercise. Cone spacing can obviously be varied to increase or decrease challenge. Not only is it a good test for the ankle, it gives the hip stabilisers and core a good test too!!... #phillipsphysio #physio See more

08.01.2022 Current research recommends exercise and weight loss (if indicated) for best management of knee osteoarthritis. Exercise has been shown to be as effective as pain relief medication in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. It is also a cheap, safe and non-invasive intervention that has a multitude of other health benefits. Contrary to popular belief, exercise WILL NOT ‘wear the knee out’ - it will enable your knee to gradually tolerate activities and loads that were previously a challenge. #phillipsphysio #physio

08.01.2022 Its hard to believe that the last few weeks of the year are here already!!

Well be working right up until December 24th before we close for a well earned break over the holiday period. ... If youre one of those that are wanting an appointment before the year is out, get in touch sooner rather than later, or book online today.... and if you cant see the time that youre chasing online dont hesitate to give us a call. #phillipsphysio #physio See more

08.01.2022 Yes, we are still open! When is Physio considered an essential service? If youve had surgery and require post-surgical rehabilitation. If youve sustained an injury that would otherwise require you to see a doctor or go to the hospital.... If youve had surgery postponed or cancelled and need help managing your symptoms in the interim. If your injury is preventing you from working, or from carrying out your normal duties at work or home. If your pain or injury is adversely affecting your mental health. If you suffer a chronic condition, and immobility or lack of treatment is likely to have a detrimental effect on your health. We are adhering to the strictest measures to ensure our clinic is a low risk environment. We are also offering Telehealth services for those who are self isolating. Contact us for more information! #phillipsphysio #physio See more

05.01.2022 The patella is a flat, inverted triangle shaped bone that sits at the front of the knee joint. As the name implies, the patella resembles a small dinner plate. The patella is a sesamoid bone, meaning it is embedded within a tendon or muscle. Babies are born without patella, but they ossify and have formed by around 3 years of age.... The patella functions like a pulley for the quadriceps muscle, increasing its strength by 35-50%. It also acts as a ‘spacer’ to protect the tendon by reducing friction and transmitting force evenly. #phillipsphysio #physio See more

05.01.2022 Most people are very surprised to hear that our fingers themselves dont contain any muscles.
