15.02.2022 MATCHY MONDAYS Max & Nate have nailed the socks and T-shirt colour coordination today while also unintentionally matching shoes and shorts with each other Is there anything they can’t do?! ... . . #physiosmart #movebetter #movesmarter #painfreemovement #functionalmovementsystems #physioteam See more

01.02.2022 ROLLING OUR WAY OUT OF THE WEEKEND We post about rolling patterns A LOT. But it’s just because we absolutely LOVE them! A few tips to get you started ... EXTENSION ROLLING: Look at your hand!! Wherever your eyes/head go, your body will follow! FLEXION ROLLING: Pull your rib cage towards your hip on the side you’re rolling towards - this will engage your OBLIQUE muscles & most importantly - RELAX YOUR LEGS!!! The goal is for these movements come from the UPPER BODY only! Try these now or save for later!!!! . . . . #physiosmart #movebetter #coreflexion #rollingpatterns #functionalmovementsystems #painfreemovement #movementflow #upperbackpain

25.01.2022 AN ACTIVE APPROACH TO BACK PAIN If you spend a lot of time SITTING or in static postures throughout the day, this might be just what you need Our spines are designed to bend and move in all directions and dislike being stuck in one position for long periods of time! ... An active approach can restore all of the wonderful range and movement that your spine desires and can resolve pain associated with this! . . . . . #physiotherapists #physiotherapystudent #physicaltherapystudent #functionalmovement #functionalmovementscreen #painfreemovement #workingfromhomeproblems #deskworker #lowbackpainexercise #restoringmovement

24.01.2022 Back pain with sitting is almost the normal these days. Lets make one thing clear, it is not normal to be in pain while sitting, and its time to do something about it. There are many reasons a person might be experiencing pain, and it's time to learn more about why somebody might have back pain.

23.01.2022 SPIKE BALL Ever played it!? Its become a bit of a tradition / team favourite here at Physio Smart. Its SO much fun! And (fun)ctional look at those deep squats, lunges, double/single leg jumping and landings! #movebetter #physiosmart

23.01.2022 EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOW MUCH YOUR PELVIS SHOULD MOVE? Matt explains all the different movements you should be able do with your pelvis in a seated position He then demonstrates on Max how assisting a particular pelvic movement can relieve SIJ pain! Remember this will be different for everyone So give it a go... can you tilt your pelvis: FORWARDS, BACKWARDS, UP/DOWN & ROTATE IT BOTH WAYS!? If not get moving!! Anyone for a hula hoop??? ... #movebetter #physio #pelvis #pelvictilt #physiosmart See more

22.01.2022 YBT - ANOTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE The Y-Balance Test (YBT) is a great way to assess functional symmetry & measure dynamic balance in different directions. 1 We use this test for people who are not currently in pain. In these circumstances the test allows us to assess any asymmetries; as side-to-side differences are a factor for increased injury risk.... 2 We also use this test to breakdown the quality & feel of movement (as current or prior injury/pain can influence motor control). Giving us as a measurable outcome. Boom #movebetter #ybalancetest #physio #pain #functionalmovement #physiosmart See more

21.01.2022 MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE - WHY WAIT TIL WE’RE BROKEN. Matt and Jess recently spoke for Raising The Bar, a global initiative making education and innovation a part of our City’s popular culture. The Bath Hotel was transformed into an accessible and fun knowledge space for people wanting to be challenged and inspired! They discussed their shared passion for functional movement, injury prevention and making a difference in the community. Later, they delved into their ideas for a gam...e changing approach to tackle rising musculoskeletal disorders and injury rates. #physiosmart #movebetter #raisingthebar #rtbadl #health

20.01.2022 #MOVEBETTERMAY - WEEK 4 What a way to finish of the month. Everyones inability to wipe the smile of their faces said it all Props to @joshlynott for documenting the event , @octeine_coffee for fuelling us AND @therunclubadelaide + @joggersworld for the epic crew!

20.01.2022 DO YOU HAVE KNEE PAIN? THIS ONE IS FOR YOU TAKE HOME MESSAGE: If you have knee pain that is not resolving... make sure you have someone Check the movement at your HIP & TIBIA before you get started on your rehab exercises REMEMBER: the knee is a hinge joint! It’s role is to simply BEND & EXTEND. If above or below aren’t moving well you - this will place rotational forces on the knee which will make it unhappy ... If you know someone who has knee pain; make sure you tag / send them this post! so they can do something about it #movebetter #physiosmart See more

19.01.2022 BEST TEST FOR HEALTHY SHOULDERS - Do you think about your shoulders & how well they move before you’re in pain? - If you CAN’T do this: your neck, mid back or shoulder itself might be stopping you. - TEST IT OUT NOW ... - If you CAN do this - happy days If you CAN’T you NEED to do something about it #movebetter #physiosmart #shoulderpain See more

17.01.2022 RELIEF RUN What a great turn out this morning for such a good cause. 100% of entry fees went to the @redcrossau disaster relief.

Such a great feeling knowing youre running with communities from all across the globe ... #reliefrun #movebetter #physiosmart See more

HAPPY SUNDAY #seawheeze2020 #seawheeze #run #running #physio #physiosmart @ Octeine Coffee

17.01.2022 ACL INJURY watched any of the Womens AFL this year? Or maybe you are a female athlete yourself? Yeaaaah girl!! or maybe you are the proud parent of one? #goteam did you know women are 2-4 times more likely to rupture their ACL?! Experts say it comes down to two main things: 1 Anatomy and 2 behaviour. 1. ANATOMY - Females have hips that are wider (to grow and deliver babies) than men. This means their femurs (thigh bone) therefore travel at a different angle to... meet the knee (Q angle). This changes the stability of the knee. - the shape of the knee joint is different in females and there is physically less space for ligaments, meaning ACLs are smaller in size in women (intercondylar notch size). - the other big is hormonal differences. We know that women might be at higher risk of injury at different times of the month, but unfortunately women are majorly underrepresented in clinical reviews. Watch this space!! 2. BEHAVIOUR: - it is common in Australian society that when girls mature to around 13/14 years old, they withdraw from every day sport, whereas males continue to play sport at lunchtime. Now, this isnt true for everyone!! But it means that at a crucial time of ligamentous development AND a time when kids learn to jump, land and fall, a lot of females miss out. They become adults (where it is cool to play sport again ) and dont have the lived experience of how to land on their feet as well as their male counterparts. - there is less money in elite female sport! There just is it meant until recently that women didnt get the same resources as men to play at their best. Now with the amazing flood of women into the limelight it also means that we are expecting the form that mens sport displays, but with absolutely 0 years of athlete development behind the scenes. This means a lot of risking it for the biscuit and not enough long-term progressive overload which would make female athletes more resilient to injury. TAKEAWAY COMMENTS: - lets focus on what we can change!! And that is STRENGTH CONTROL ENDURANCE & MOBILITY (especially at the foot, ankle and hip). THE MOST COMMON injury to an ACL is a *non contact* twist!! SO work on those agility skills! Work on your ball skills! Be skilled and strong and safe See more

16.01.2022 ROLLING FLOW OH SO SOOTHING TO WATCH How well can you disassociate your UPPER & LOWER body ??? Nate shows us how’s it’s done using a combination of rolling patterns. Driving the movement with one half of this body whilst the other remains relaxed ... It’s A LOT harder than it looks (make sure you give it a try!) #movebetter #physiosmart #movementflow #functionalmovement See more

16.01.2022 COWABUNGA SURFS UP!!!!!!! Work hard, play hard. The conditions were too good not to get out there this morning. Absolute peelers & multiple party waves Doesn’t get any better! Straight back to the clinic for a busy afternoon #surf #physio #movebetter #physiosmart

14.01.2022 RESTORING MULTI-SEGMENTAL ROTATION See how Nate breaks down this full body movement & helps restore it! @krista_elza clocks a lot of kms during the week so its SUPER important that her body moves well! ... Full rotation ensures there is no increased stress placed on any areas of her body (which can lead to injury). In the past Krista has battled some knee pain so keeping this movement functional & non-painful for her is KEY! #movebetter #running #rotation #sfma #physio #sport #physiosmart See more

07.01.2022 LOW BACK PAIN...WHERE IS IT REALLY COMING FROM? Often the complaint of low back pain is being driven by a dysfunction elsewhere in the body Here Matt uses the example of the hips & their inability to actively extend! If the body cannot achieve this movement it will cheat and try to use the lumbar region to extend instead.... TREATMENT: An active release technique to encourage the glutes to drive hip extension > lumbar extension. Then stabilising this into a lunge pattern exercise! Works a treat! #regionalinterdependence #movebetter #physio #backpain #physiosmart See more
