25.01.2022 I will make sure I come back bigger, better and stronger than before - Vaomua (Mua) Laloifi It is never an easy day when the diagnosis of an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) rupture is confirmed, particularly when its highlighted as a season ending injury in AFLW. The diagnosis is the beginning of a 9-12 month journey involving hard work, persistence and resilience. For Vaomua (Mua) Laloifi, it was the beginning of her road to recovery, and the beginning of her comeback........

24.01.2022 Its time to get back in control . Because the gyms are closed we know it can be hard to exercise, hard to lift heavy, hard to get those big, strong, improvements. BUT! We think its the perfect time for the little guy. Its time to reduce the loads youre moving and really concentrate on moving well and moving healthy, using all of those stabilising muscles that are asleep at the wheel. ... . Over the next few weeks were going to take everyday items from home and teach you how they can help you move better. How to put stress through the right area at the right time. Were going to show you how to get your workout fix without having to load up with a lot of kgs. #physiohealth See more

Arms Arms and shoulders should relaxed and forearms parallel to floor Try and rest your elbow on your arm chair and bring your keyboard close Wrists positioned with minimal bend If you have a laptop, invest in a stand-alone keyboard and mouse! 3. Chair Ideally you should have a high back chair, or at least shoulders should have a backrest 4. Legs Hips should be slightly higher than knees, this can be achieved with a rolled up towel underneath the bottom or a postural wedge 5. Feet Feet flat on the floor and use a footrest if necessary Most importantly, MOVE! Take a short break every 20-30 minutes to have a coffee, stretch out the back or go for a walk Contact @physiohealth today to book your individualised ergonomic assessment with Dora that will have you pain free and productive in no time!

14.01.2022 Back Pain comes with many causes to many sources but two common sources are 1. Facet Joints 2. Disc Facets Joint are the joint between two vertebra stacked on top of each other. They can sprain, like an ankle or a finger. The difference is they are surrounded by slabs of muscles. ... This muscle spasms, restricts movements. You then experience pain in all directions. Supporting this muscle will encourage them to relax, the spasm settles and you can focus on restoring movement and function, exactly like an ankle sprain. Disc injuries often present more suddenly, there can be a movement within the structure that in some bad cases cause pain down the leg, nerve irritation and loss of function. These injuries also cause muscle spasm and very similar symptoms. Again once the initial pain is under control our aim is to restore function. Disc injuries are likely to take a little longer to recover, however if you feel like you suffered a disc injury dont fear. With a strong exercise program we are able to make an impact on your range of motion, strength and overall function. Which pain have you had? #physiohealth #backpain #spinecare #spine #physio #physiotherapy #melbourne #sportsphysio #strength #getstrong #rehab #rehabilitation #injuries #muscle See more

11.01.2022 Analysis conducted by Injury Surveillance and Analytics team at IQVIA, using data gathered from the NBA injury reporting found; that players that suffered an ankle sprain increased their risk of further ankle injury by 41% within the following year. This pattern of increased risk applies to BOTH the injured side and the non injured side. When youre moving through your ankle rehab be sure to complete any single leg activity on both sides, with the same intensity, and the sa...me focus. Any ankle rehab will generally involve a combination of four stages: Mobility - after a sprain there is a reduced range of motion for various factors. It is important to address those factors and restore movement. Activation - The presence of pain following a sprain will dull the responsiveness of the muscles to voluntary movement. This control needs to be restored. Proprioception - Damage sustained during a sprain often reduces the ability of the ankle to know its location in space. With practice though, these functions can be rehabilitated. Strength - Having the strength to maintain good ankle posture as well as correct any irregular ankle posture is important to prevent against further injury #physiohealth See more

The Right Space - not always obtainable, but, if you can find a quiet room with some space for activity that is a great start. The Right Clothes - choosing comfortable clothes that you can move in is crucial. With less hands on work there will likely be more activity. The WRITE questions - have a notepad ready to write down any questions that may pop up. There will be a time to ask everything but we dont want you to forget. Reach out if you have any questions about Telehealth #Physiohealth #telehealth

01.01.2022 On a recent British Journal of Sports Medicine podcast Ass Prof Daniel Bellevy from the institute of physical activity and nutrition at Deakin Uni went into detail regarding their study into Non- Specific Chronic back pain. This is pain that has lasted more than 12 weeks. It effects up to 16% population and has the greatest cause of productivity loss world-wide. In 90% of cases there is no clear diagnosis BUT a key finding found that the diagnosis wasn’t as important as the... type of activity you do to get better! So, if you’re feeling down and out because you can’t seem to find out what is happening with your back, know that a guided program involving progressing exercises will, in most cases be the best thing for you, regardless of the diagnosis. #physiohealth
