25.01.2022 How long will it take to get better Phys? This is a question we get asked multiple times a day, every day. Firstly, every injury is different, as is every patient. It is not one size fits all or one magic potion. In saying that though, most injuries have similar patterns of recovery and rehabilitation.... The first stage of physiotherapy is usually to decrease pain and inflammation and address any neuromotor deficits (like balance or coordination). This will be followed by regaining range of motion and increasing neural mobility if a deficit was present. This may take 1-2 weeks. Or even longer in severe and complex cases. I can assure you, you will feel great and even forget about the injury once the pain has eased. But wait!, not too fast there. Rehab is not over and re-injury is common without ticking the next few boxes. This is the fun and hopefully pain free part of physio and sometimes the more important part. This is where you learn to stop re-injury and take home a tool box of techniques that will allow you to recognise and strengthen before the same pain arises again..which it may if tissues are not strong enough. Pain may even sneak back at times in a lesser way in your rehabilitation journey. This is completely normal. We will correct biomechanics and increase stability with specific muscle activation and lengthening techniques. Yes you guessed it, stretching and exercises. Exercises are so so SO important. It is at this stage that recovery times are lengthened from slacking off, and weakened structures are compromised. Last and probably the most fun is regaining proprioception regaining balance and joint awareness and including sport specific function into rehab if that is what you need for a full recovery. So how long is recovery? Well soft tissue averages at 6 weeks to heal. Ligaments take on average 3 months. Thats not including the second stage of rehab. So some rehab will average from 6 weeks to 3 months depending on some injuries and others take up to 12 whole months.

24.01.2022 Wry neck is best described as neck pain and stiffness, which is often accompanied by spasm of the supporting neck muscles. This causes neck pain and an inability to turn your neck through its full range of movement. The onset of symptoms can often be sudden (ie; wake with a stiff and sore neck) and therefore can be often called acute wry neck. Wry neck is a very common condition, which can be quite disabling as the sufferer can experience constant severe pain with simpl...e neck movements. However, treatment is normally very successful and can work relatively quickly to resolve symptoms. Wry neck is most common is younger population. Older wry neck sufferers tend to have a more gradual onset. Whats really going on inside Wry neck is thought to have many causes. However, it is believed that the pain and reduction in range of movement is due to either; Facet Wry Neck caused by locked facet joint. This is the most common cause of wry neck. Discogenic Wry Neck caused by cervical disc injury Facet joints are located at the back of your spinal column and allow, guide and limit the movements of the neck. They are intended to allow smooth gliding movements between the adjacent vertebra. Wry neck pain is due to the numerous nerve endings that are located in the facet joint itself and the surrounding tissue. How a physio can help A physiotherapist can utilise a range of low risk joint mobilisation techniques and soft tissue massage to normalise your facet joint function. You may experience some residual muscle spasm and swelling after treatment due to the trauma. Similar to how a sprained ankle swells, neck joints will also become inflamed but it wont be as visible. Most patients get some immediate relief from treatment however the residual effects can last up to a week or two. It is also important to normalise your neck muscle and joint function to prevent recurrence, which unfortunately commonly occurs without correct treatment.

21.01.2022 Remember the blue sky With self-isolation and social distancing, its easy to find yourself losing motivation and feeling a little lost. You may be experiencing pain or feeling like youre creating new problems with prolonged time spent at home. Keep moving and exercising as best as you can, since this will stimulate endorphin production and give your mood a lift, while also maintaining strength and fitness to help prevent other problems forming later down the line! ... Remember, this is temporary and sometimes you have to be patient and let the clouds pass by to see the blue sky again. But its always there! Lastly, dont hesitate to reach out. We are always happy to help. Whether you would like to check in for a quick chat, need some modification of your program or need help otherwise, physio-related or not, we are all ears!

21.01.2022 When can I go back to sport after spraining my ankle? Its the question we most often hear. Its a very relevant question, but one that will generally require a thorough assessment and treatment plan from a physiotherapist. In general, guidelines dictate:... Grade 1 sprain: 2-4 weeks Grade 2 & 3 sprain: 6-8 weeks However, general timeframes are just that.general and are not individualised to the level of strength, balance, functional control and demands of an individualssport/work. The decision to return to sport is a little more complex, with multiple factors that we take into account to help determine when it is safe to return to play. Cant pain just tell me when its fine to return to play?Unfortunately not, quite the opposite in fact. Pain is actually an extremely poor indicator of the state of the tissues and relying on pain to guide recovery leads to an increase in recurrence of ankle injuries due to returning to early. How can I tell when to go back then .Im glad you asked. Fortunately, we use various performance measures (not just pain) focused around strength, balance, &control we use in clinic that guide us in determining when youre ready to go back and be your best on field or at work. Whats the risk in returning too early? Returning to sport too early or without the proper rehab puts you at a very high risk of injuring your ankle again. Which will not only delay your return further, but may also cause more damage than the initial injury. Key takeaways!! Dont just leave it Early rehab for first sprain = back to sport quicker, safer and better Pain = poor indicator of readiness Let us help #anklesprain #rolledankle #anklepain #returntosport #physiotherapy #rozelle #rozellephysio #rehab #physio #physicaltherapy #sportsinjury #sportsmedicine

20.01.2022 Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a complex condition in which nerves of the brachial plexus or subclavian vessels are compressed as they exit the thorax can often be a difficult condition for clinicians to diagnose and therefore manage as they can present as vascular or neurogenic.

18.01.2022 Rib stress fracture (RSF) is one of the most hotly debated and least understood of all rowing injuries. It has recently been stated that the pathology and prevention of rib stress fractures will be one of the most useful areas of research in rowing injuries. Rib stress fractures (RSFs) are injuries frequently sustained by elite rowers with an injury rate of 8-16% over the course of a rowing career, resulting in negative effects on training and performance. A review conduct...ed by D'Ailly and others in 2016 aimed to describe time to return to sports, summarize potentially preventive measures and appraise the evidence on risk factors. The search resulted in 124 studies, of which 17 were included: Ten reported on return to sports, 17 reported on risk factors and nine on preventive measures. For return to sports, nine studies mentioned a loss of training of 4-6 weeks. The shortest period was one week and the longest 16 weeks. For risk factors, insufficient or conflicting evidence was found for changes in the training program, incorrect rowing technique, female gender, low bone mineral density, inadequate equipment, and training type. For prevention, gradual changes in the training program, alertness on the part of coaches and clinicians, and supplementation of diet and hormones are suggested as effective measures. However, no effect studies have been found. The main outcome of this review on RSFs is that little evidence is available on return to sports, risk factors and preventive measures. Coaches and clinicians should carefully guide and assist rowers suffering from RSFs in off training and in the subsequent training period to regain their pre-injury level. See more

17.01.2022 Thoracic Pain Thoracic spine pain is highly correlated to poor posture. Increased and sustained postural loading, particularly sitting positions, exerts prolonged force on the thoracic joints. Posture can be re- trained with the use of a posture brace, support or taping.... Cole and others conducted a study in 2013 on the use of thoracic braces in overhead athletes. By using a thoracic brace, overhead athletes demonstrated improved shoulder posture and shoulder blade muscle activity, both predisposing factors to thoracic spine pain and stiffness. Braces address poor control in the mid and upper back and shoulders during the initial phase when you have no or little postural awareness. As your posture improves with your posture exercises to address muscle strength and endurance you can transition from a heavy to lower support posture brace. Kinesiology taping may be used help achieve the final transition to perfect posture without a brace or taping being required. When used in conjunction with manual therapy techniques, postural exercises and regular physical activity, postural braces, supports and taping are effective ways to improve postural awareness and prevent future injury.

17.01.2022 Weve all been there: You wake up in the morning and theres a crick in your neck. You can only turn it right, not left. All day long, you walk around like a zombie, the slightest turn of your neck sending sharp pains down your back. What causes that, anyhow? Below, your questions about neck pain are answered. Where does neck pain come from? Usually neck pain is caused by muscle strain or tension such as sleeping in an uncomfortable position. It can be the result of poor post...ure, straining to see your computer monitor if its too high, bending over a desk for hours, or twisting your neck in a jarring way while exercising. But, neck pain can also come on as after an accident, such as a fall or a car accident. Medical conditions, like arthritis, a ruptured disc, spinal stenosis, or cancer involving the spine are also some causes of neck pain. How can I get rid of neck pain? Minor neck pain can be treated at home with over-the-counter pain medications, a heating pad or ice pack and rest. Gentle massage can also help as can slow range-of-motion exercises move your neck up and down and side to side, to gently stretch the muscles. Should I stop exercising when I have neck pain? Its always best to take every precaution. If youre experiencing neck pain, reduce your activity for a few days. Avoid activities that require you to twist your neck or back such as golf or jogging. You should also avoid activities that involve heavy lifting such as weight training. How do I know if my neck pain is an indicator of a more serious problem? If your neck pain is accompanied by a fever or a headache, or your neck is so stiff that its difficult to bend your chin down toward your chest, this may be a sign of meningitis and requires immediate medical attention. Likewise, if youre experiencing other symptoms with neck pain like shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, vomiting, or arm or jaw pain, you could be having a heart attack. Call 911 in either of these cases. If youre not having any of those symptoms, but the pain doesnt subside within a week of at-home care, or if you have swollen glands, any numbness, tingling or if you have difficulty swallowing, make an appointment to see your primary care physician. How can I prevent neck pain? Use good posture when sitting at your desk and make sure things you readdocuments or your computer monitorare at eye level. If youre frequently on the phone, use a headset. Make sure your pillow and mattress provide adequate neck supportyou may need to switch to a special neck pillow or a firmer mattress. Make an effort to stretch every day, especially before and after exercising.

16.01.2022 Here are answers to seven common questions about posture: 1. What is a posture muscle? Posture muscles help to fix or stabilize a joint; they prevent movement, while other muscles create movement. They are composed of muscle fibres that have a particular capacity for prolonged work. For instance, as a person leans forward slightly to walk up a flight of stairs (the movement), the posture muscles surrounding the spine help to prevent the upper body from falling too far forward...Continue reading

11.01.2022 Do you even lift? Whether youre a powerlifter, manual labourer or a new mum, Im betting you probably need to lift things every day. Keep your back straight, use your legs, bend your knees are phrases we hear all the time as conventional wisdom (unfortunately, from many physios too). Conventional wisdom is not always the wisest of advice it seems, especially when it comes to backs. ... Mythbusting There is this huge misconception in the general population that backs are structures that need to be wrapped in cotton wool protected to the point of not using them for what they were specifically designed to do i.e. bend and lift. Backs truly are a feat of incredible evolutionary engineering. Have a think of what we ask of our backs on a daily basis. Twisting, bending, lifting or even all three combined (imagine adding an unruly 2 year old to the mix!!), its no wonder that sometimes they can get a bit sensitive and painful. Yet the advice above stays as prevalent as ever in manual handling training, trickling into public perception.Youtube every heavy deadlift video from present day to the advent of humankind and one common thing prevails. a flexed lower back!!!!!..BUT, BUT people say you shouldnt bend your back when lifting. Its interesting that the way these giants lift, bears a striking resemblance to how we are not supposed to lift, yet the sport is extremely safe in actual fact approx 1-4 injuries /1000 hours, 3x safer than soccer and AFL. Riddle me that!!If backs were fragile things in need of protection I doubt they could cope with lifting up to 500kg with a flexed spine just a tad bit more than the average toddler Loading What it comes down to then is not so much the HOW we actually lift, but how familiarised (or adapted) the back is to doing the task. Which brings us to one of my favourite words Loading. We are adaptable creatures capable of doing amazing things if loaded in a paced way; adding little bits at a time...

08.01.2022 60-year-old female referred to physio for treatment of chronic mid/lower thoracic pain. She was referred with a medical diagnosis of trapezius/rhomboid myofascial pain. The patient previously participated in a course of 18 physical therapy sessions at another provider without longstanding relief of pain or improvement in the functional use of the left upper extremity. Medical history: The patient experienced intense pain along the inferior aspect of the left scapula after com...pleting 4 hours of yard work and using a lopper. The patients medical history included bunion surgery, kidney stones and generalized vasospastic disorder. Subjective complaints: The patient complained of chronic pain along the inferior aspect of the left scapula and the inability to wear a bra since the injury. The patient avoided the use of the left upper extremity and used bracing at the side to minimize pain. She was unable to walk her dogs, cook, eat with her left hand, perform her job responsibilities, drive comfortably or turn pages of the newspaper. Treatment: Manual therapy including targeted stretching/left lower rib mobilization/soft tissue work to left latissimus Movement analysis/re-training Chest expansion exercises Left upper extremity functional activities Postural education Instruction in self-management strategies/home exercise program. The patient was seen for a total of 9 outpatient sessions. Her pain was completely resolved, and she had no functional limitations. She was able to resume wearing a bra. The left shoulder end range flexion was restored, and the mobility of left lower thoracic ribs was normalized. Manual muscle testing of left latissimus was pain-free, and the patient was completely independent with a home exercise program/ self-management techniques.

08.01.2022 Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a complex condition in which blood vessels and/or nerves are entrapped or compressed as they exit the thorax. Laulan et al. (2011) proposed four main causes of TOS which they have suggested can be interrelated. These are;... 1. Congenital Abnormalities: these are often reported and can include: Boney Anomalies: such as a cervical rib or prolonged transverse process Fibrous Anomalies: including transversocostal and costocostal Muscular Anomalies: including scalenus anticus muscle and sickle-shaped scalenus medius Whilst these abnormalities are often detected in those with true cases of TOS, they do not cause TOS, they are simply one of many predisposing factors. 2. Post-traumatic Causes: trauma, either macro or micro, seems to account for up to 2/3 of cases in some series (Roos, 1987; Ellison, 1994). Such causes include; Neck and shoulder trauma such as whiplash injuries Upper limb trauma. Scalene muscle injury and subsequent fibrosis. 3. Functional Acquired Causes: as previously suggested these are the most controversial and frequently seen. These causes are associated with dysfunctions or imbalances of the musculature of the neck and shoulder region. There are 2 main features: 1. Hypertrophic muscle morphotype of the cervicoscapular region 2. Dropped Scapular morphotype or dyskinesis. This is discussed further below as a dropped scapula can lead to a dysfunction of the normal scalenus anterior muscle (Ellison, 1994, Watson et al., 2009). 4. Other Acquired Causes: whilst other causes are rare, they are important to be aware of, and they include: Tumours Hyperostosis Osteomyelitis Generally, conservative management is accepted as the first form of management (Sharp et al., 2001). Research conducted by Lo and others in 2011 found that patients with TOS can benefit from physiotherapy modalities including soft-tissue massage, joint mobilisations, postural exercises and education for effective pain reduction in a short period. While less than half of the cases have reported a complete cure, most of the studies have showed a long period of follow-up as well (greater than a year). Therefore, physical treatments for TOS should be maintained for at least 6 months to ensure the effect of the treatment

05.01.2022 Exercises to treat Thoracic outlet Syndrome focus on: decreasing symptoms improving posture returning to more normal function... 1. Neck Stretch Look straight ahead. Bend your right ear to your right shoulder, without looking down or looking up. If your physiotherapist says it is ok, turn your chin down or up. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. 2. Shoulder stretch Start with your elbows or arms low or with your arms straight by your side. Lean your body weight forward until you feel a stretch in the front part of the shoulder or chest. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. 3. Shoulder blade squeeze Squeeze your shoulder blades together. As this exercise becomes easier, you can increase the number of squeezes.

03.01.2022 Headbanging Could Cause Serious Injury But There Are Ways To Protect Yourself! Oh no, not headbanging! While the risk of permanent injury is low, it's still there: The rapid and aggressive flexion-extension coupling that occurs at the cervical spine during headbanging is similar to a whiplash injury mechanism. Theres even a term for it headbangers whiplash. So outside of just chilling at a concert, which would be really boring, youre probably going to have a stiff neck... after the metal show. Luckily we can offer advice on how to avoid injury while headbanging: Any neck stabilization exercises would be super-important to strengthen the deep neck flexor and extensors and to take the strain off of the scalene and the sternocleidomastoid muscles. If people are having neck pain due to headbanging, then theyd have to get into a daily neck stabilization exercise routine. In the long term, generally staying in shape will help strengthen your back muscles. Doing exercises to activate the posterior chain and core are always a good idea. I personally prefer weightlifting because when done correctly, it promotes excellent spinal alignment, core strength, and hip/ankle mobility. In terms of pre-concert prep we recommend a warm-up: You could do some mobility work pre-concert to loosen up the muscles around the upper and mid-back area. I use foam rollers and tennis balls to get to those hard-to-reach, ouchie spots. Keep these handy because youll probably want them after the concert.

02.01.2022 Pain in the chest can sometimes be referred from the back. Pain will be felt in the chest but the cause of the problem may be in the thoracic spine. Symptoms of referred chest pain Symptoms include pain in the chest which comes on without a traumatic injury to the chest area. Pain may be made worse by taking deep breaths, coughing, sneezing etc. The upper back area may feel stiff. Upper back muscles may feel tight and tender.... Pain in the chest or rib area can sometimes be referred from the thoracic spine. This is the area of the spine which runs between your shoulder blades and down the mid-back. This is a common cause of chest pain in young athletes. Referred pain is when pain is felt in one area but does not originate there. Instead it it caused by a problem elsewhere. Referred pain usually starts at a point higher up than where the pain is felt. In the case of referred chest pain, it can originate from many areas, with the most common being the facet joints or zygapophyseal joints of the thoracic spine. It may also originate from the Costovertebral and costotransverse joints, where the ribs attach to the vertebrae. Muscular tightness and trigger points can also develop, increasing the referred pain. Treatment of referred pain Treatment of referred chest pain will depend on the cause of the pain, but commonly used treatments include deep tissue massage which releases tension in muscles which in turn reduces pressure on any nerves which are referring the chest pain. Spinal manipulation to restore full range of movement to the joints in the spine. Stretching and strengthening exercises may also be recommended for the upper body, upper back and core to regain full movement and strength.
