24.01.2022 Can you speed up the recovery process post surgery? Yes! - PREHABILITATION, or more commonly referred to as PREHAB is how you do it. - Have you heard this term thrown around? Do you know what it means? Read on to find out... - Prehab refers to undertaking rehabilitation before it is necessary. Makes sense, right? - Why do prehab? To speed up rehab after surgery and to prevent injuries in everyday life. - Before surgery: Research shows time and time again that patients who strengthen relevant muscles and joints BEFORE they have surgery, will have a better recovery afterward. A study by John Wiley & Sons showed that those with six weeks of an exercise program before joint replacement surgery reduced their risk of needing to be sent to an inpatient rehab facility after surgery by 73 percent. Getting at least several weeks of prehab before surgery can reduce inflammation in the joint. It can improve blood flow in the area, strengthen the muscles supporting the joint and allow a greater range of motion. The better the joint is functioning before surgery, the stronger your recovery is likely to be after the operation. Patients who are more fit prior to surgery may have shorter hospital stays and may be discharged and sent to outpatient rehab, rather than to a rehab facility for inpatient therapy. They also have fewer outpatient rehab sessions, says physical therapist Steve Sylvester, PhD, assistant professor of health and human performance at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Patients can more quickly do recommended exercises at home, with follow-up on an as-needed basis, whereas those who havent had pre-hab need more hands-on sessions, he says. The best approach to pre-hab is having individual sessions with a physiotherapist before your surgery and completing the prescribed at-home exercises. - In everyday life: Prehab helps prepare the body for the physical demands of exercise and life. Doing mobility drills, warming up and cooling down at the gym AND more importantly developing good positioning habits in the gym and in other activities of daily life that promote long-term health of ones body will prevent future injuries. - You know what were going to say next... of course this is something our physiotherapists can help you with. We want to help you!

23.01.2022 Closed Easter Weekend & Meet Shae Phipps - https://mailchi.mp/physicaledgehealth/easter2021-meet-shae

23.01.2022 Group Physiotherapy is back! To keep in line with the government recommendations we have made some small amendments to ensure the safety of both our clients and our staff members moving forward. Classes will resume with only 3 people per class to 1 physiotherapist to allow extra space between clients. This will occur on a first in best-dressed basis. We will do our best to fit everyone into classes. We endeavour for classes to return to 4:1 ratio as soon as viable.... Classes will still run on the hour, however we may have to finish classes 5-10mins early to allow adequate time for a class to be conducted safely with respect to cleaning of equipment after each single client use. We ask that you kindly bring your own towels to help prevent any transfer of fluids between our equipment. This will also allow our lovely reception staff to not be overwhelmed with washing. Furthermore, we ask that you respect our space and the safety of all staff members by not coming into the clinic if you have any flu-like symptoms as per the governments recommendations. If you would like to book a class or resume your usual class times please call the clinic on (02) 4268 4884 or email [email protected]. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our amazing clients for sticking by us during these unpredictable times and we look forward to seeing you all in the clinic soon. #pilates #physiotherapy #physicaledgehealthcare #thirroul #wollongong #exercise #reformer #reformerpilates

03.01.2022 Its the last day of Womens Health Week today! Being a clinic that offers Womens Health Services we wanted to share some quick womens health facts to educate you all: 10% of all women suffer from urinary (bladder) incontinence. 1/3 of women who have had a baby have urinary incontinence. Heavy menstrual bleeding is experienced by 25% of women. From 20 years old onwards women should do monthly breast checks to ensure they are familiar with the way their breasts look a...nd feel so that differences can be noticed. Endometriosis frequently goes undiagnosed, but affects 1/10 women of reproductive age with an estimated 176 million women worldwide having the condition. Physical activity simulates bowel movements. Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility by causing hormonal changes and ovulation problems. You can see Erin or Jess at Physical Edge for all of your Womens Health needs. Book online via our website or call (02) 4268 4884 for an appointment.
