25.01.2022 Alexey Lutsenko of the Astana Pro Team forged clear of the days early break to become the winner of Stage 6 atop Mont Aigoual, after smashing out the category 1 ascent of the Col de la Lusette. The tough finale saw Lutsenko make ground rather than lose it, while the chasing leaders swapped between Powless, Herrada and Van Avermaet.

25.01.2022 For all our ISC Hockey players who are constantly in hip flexion and putting pressure on those hips and lower back, this stretch not only targets those areas of overuse but stabilises them too. The rear foot elevated hip flexor stretch can also translate into the bulgarian split squat, where more strength work can be done. @westsillawarrahockey @falconshockeyassoc @seacliffhc @uow_hockey_club @avondalehockeyclub @illawarrasouthcoasthockey @illawarra_academy_of_sport #hockey #nhl #sports #hockeylife #sport #playoffs #hockeyplayer #hockeyplayers #nhlplayoffs #hockeymemes #hockeyislife #fitness #hockeygame #goalie #hockeystick #hockeyfan #stretching #pilates #warmup #stretchtherapy

25.01.2022 Let's talk Rechelle Hawkes! (Because it's the ISC Hockey finals and we're excited about hockey this weekend!) Hawkes was captain of the Aussie Womens Hockey Team (known as the Hockeyroo's) for eight years. She became the second woman after Dawn Fraser to win three Olympic gold medals at three separate Olympic Games. Hawkes had the honour of reading the Athlete's Olympic Oath at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.... In 1989 she was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia, and was made a member of the Order of Australia in the 2018 Australia Day Honours. Hawkes was one of our hockey greats! @westsillawarrahockey @falconshockeyassoc @seacliffhc @uow_hockey_club @avondalehockeyclub @illawarrasouthcoasthockey @illawarra_academy_of_sport #hockey #nhl #sports #hockeylife #sport #playoffs #hockeyplayer #hockeyplayers #nhlplayoffs #hockeymemes #hockeyislife #fitness #hockeygame #goalie #hockeystick #hockeyfan #rechellehawkes #playlikehawkes #rechellehawkesfans #oneofthegreats

23.01.2022 Box jumps are a plyometric exercise used to build muscles in your quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves. The jumps train these muscles to react quickly to explosive movements, such as the starting block launch or each push off the wall. The beauty of the box jump is you can adapt it to your varying performance needs, doing low reps of a higher box to improve your power or doing high reps of a lower box to deal with the lactic acid that comes with a quick-repeat, loaded movemen...t. You can start by choosing a box around the same height as your shins, lowering into a quarter squat, swinging your arms behind you and bringing them forwards quickly as you jump! Make sure you are landing with both feet flat on the box and both arms out in front, in motorbike stance. This will ensure you remain balanced and firm throughout the movement. #swimming #swim #pool #triathlon #swimmer #swimmingpool #fitness #sport #summer #love #beach #swimbikerun #water #training #gym #swimlife #ironman #swimmingpools #triathlontraining #sea #swimmers #swimsuit #sports @ias @wiaqteam @mckeonswimming

23.01.2022 Saturday Sports Bio Time! In honour of it being finals time for ISC Hockey here's one the Aussie Allstar hockey players - Jamie Dwyer. Jamie was recognised in 2012 as Young Player of the Year by the International Hockey Association by winning silver medal at the World Cup and a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games!! Jamie also played for our national team (The Kookaburra's!) until 2012. Jamie's most famous for scoring a goal during extra time at the Athens Olympics in 2004,... which saw Australia win gold and Dwyer take the title of best player in the world. So to our ISC Hockey players....player like Jamie this weekend and next! @westsillawarrahockey @falconshockeyassoc @seacliffhc @uow_hockey_club @avondalehockeyclub @illawarrasouthcoasthockey @illawarra_academy_of_sport #hockey #nhl #sports #hockeylife #sport #playoffs #hockeyplayer #hockeyplayers #nhlplayoffs #hockeymemes #hockeyislife #fitness #hockeygame #goalie #hockeystick #hockeyfan #jamiedwyer #jamiedwyerfans #playlikejamie

22.01.2022 Bib No. 33 - FRA. The french climber Cosnefroy hold the title of best climber, and sports the polka dot jersey. He now holds the most points in the first five stages since 2002, coming in at 23pts. Christophe Mengin held the previous record of 29pts. Cosnefroy's grip on the polka dot jersey is controversial however after leader Anthony Perez crashed during the stage. #cycling #tourdefrance #phyxitphysio #physio #physiotherapy #sportsphysio #sport #cyclingfans

20.01.2022 What better way to click into gear than plunging into the winter ocean...definitely not for everyone! But there are benefits for those who do. Other than getting fitter, stronger and tougher, cold water swimming is said to supercharge your metabolism and help your immune system. Cold water immersion develops 'brown fat', a type of fat we acquired in hunter gatherer days but not so much now. Brown fat keeps you warmer, raising your temperature and burning calories at a muc...h higher rate. Your immune system will be boosted by the activation of a specific antioxidant which helps to regulate all other antioxidants within the body. Greater immunity! Not to mention as you swim in open water you will interact with many more germs and build immunity naturally as you go. The benefits of open water swimming! The colder the better...!!

18.01.2022 A Short Guide to Burning Obliques: - Make sure your back isn't rounding when you assume starting position. Keep your torso long and raise from the waist. - Begin with your feet flat on the ground, as you progress, you can raise your feet to float - but maintain stability. - Unlike the lady in the picture...extend your arms for maximum core work! Like the picture in the bottom right :) - When you twist, move your whole upper body to the side rather than only your arms. Tip: where your eyes go, there your body will follow!

16.01.2022 According to Runners World, the Bulgarian Split Squat is the perfect exercise to build the muscles that propel you forwards during running. It also challenges your core and increases stability in smaller muscles that may get overlooked in a basic squat. TECHNIQUE: Start standing facing away from a bench or chair. Place the top of your right toes on the bench or chair with slight bend in right knee. Place hands on hips for balance. Bend left knee to lower right knee to floor. Press through left heel to return to starting position.

16.01.2022 Georgia and Dani can't wait to see you! Our lovely massage team is keen to help in whatever way possible, contact us on the above number for more information between 7am and 7pm, Monday to Friday. #massagemonday #massage #sportstherapy #sportsmassage #massagetherapy #physio #physiotherapy #sports #therapy

15.01.2022 Dani is back at the end of September and we're looking forward to having her smile around again! Lovely Georgia is still practicing in the mornings for all our early birds.

15.01.2022 The sprinters jersey is currently worn by Sam Bennett (Bib 43 - IRL) - winning the maillot verde is dependent on the course that day, whether its mainly flats or hills, and where the rider places as they cross the finish line. The first 10-25 collect points that move them towards a jersey! #cycling #tourdefrance #phyxitphysio #physio #physiotherapy #sportsphysio #sport #cyclingfans

15.01.2022 Wishing the best of luck to all the ISC Hockey teams playing in the semi-finals this weekend!! Can't wait to hear the results - play hard! From the Phyxit Crew @westsillawarrahockey @falconshockeyassoc @seacliffhc @uow_hockey_club @avondalehockeyclub @illawarrasouthcoasthockey @illawarra_academy_of_sport #hockey #nhl #sports #hockeylife #sport #playoffs #hockeyplayer #hockeyplayers #nhlplayoffs #hockeymemes #hockeyislife #fitness #hockeygame #goalie #hockeystick #hockeyfan

14.01.2022 While Dani is away, Georgia is open for bookings! Come in and receive a relieving massage today for all sports and everyday related muscle pain. We're here to help! Give us a call today on 4228 9299.

12.01.2022 Swimming is back! Squads have been up and running for a number of weeks now, and public pools are good to go. If you haven't swum for a while, make sure you're not over-training muscles that have deteriorated during isolation or are fatigued after the sudden activity. Correct stroke mechanics during training is important to keep an eye on too, most injuries come from a misuse of repeated movements, and in a sport where repetition lays the foundation there is high potential ...for this to occur. Lastly, but most importantly, strength training is key! Not all swim training is done in the water. Increasing stability during gym sessions including shoulders, quads, hip and core muscles will be the difference between success and an injury. Come in and see us at Phyxit to make sure you're on the right track and fit to swim. Give us a call on 4228 9299 and visit today! @mckeonswimming @westsillawarra @wiaqteam

11.01.2022 Emma McKeon is one of Australia's most decorated athletes in the pool - hot on the heels of Ian Thorpe. After winning six medals at the 2019 World Champs, she's got all of Australia's attention heading into Tokyo 2021! Not to mention she's a local here in Wollongong...Go Emma!! Emma McKeon has the reputation of being a multi-event athlete, entering EIGHT races at the recent World Champs. Her Coach Michael Bohl said in the Sydney Morning Herald that legends like Michael Phelps... have been the source of her inspiration along the way, winning record golds in a variety of events. "You learn from people like Michael Phelps in Beijing. He did a very good job. In 2008, his heats were measured, the semis he was stronger and the finals he was awesome," Michael Bohl told the Sydney Morning Herald. Guess we know her game plan for Tokyo! Outside the pool Emma can be found studying a bachelor of Health Studies at Griffith University. @emmamckeon <3 @mckeonswimming @swimmingaustralia

11.01.2022 Wooohoooo! Phoebe and Tom got married! We were so excited to see them all dressed up at Bulli Beach last weekend after watching their ceremony livestream Exciting times. - - Thanks @jamesdayweddings for the awesome photo!!

11.01.2022 Muscles targeted: Rectus abdominus, transverse abdominis, obliques, triceps, pectorals. Relation to Swimming: Good core strength helps you to keep your hips and body high in the water, minimising resistance and increasing speed. Like every other muscle group, your core will fatigue over time, so strength exercises like this are a must!

10.01.2022 The"Iron Cross" can be used as either a static or dynamic stretch to lengthen the muscles in your lower back and release tension. Start by lying on your back with your arms out and legs together and extended - making the letter 'T'. Keeping your legs extended, raise one of them and take it across your body towards your outstretched arm - make sure you're not 'log rolling' your body along with it! The aim is to keep your chest open, hips and back flat against the floor. #stretching #stretchtherapy #hipflexor #lowerbackinjury #physio #physiotherapy #recovery

09.01.2022 Meet Bronte and Cate - a home-grown Olympic swimming duo! The Cambell's grew up in Malawi, South Africa, and moved over to Australia while still under the age of ten. Both quickly decided to pursue swimming after witnessing the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. In 2012 Bronte and Cate became the first siblings to qualify for the Olympics in the same event - the 50m freestyle. The sprinters were both part of the gold medal-winning 400m freestyle team in London. ... Currently, both sisters are training with Simon Cusack at Knox Grammar School and Pymble Ladies College, with sights set on the Tokyo Olympics, interviews have said they have not been phased by the set back. Bronte and Cate are also advocates for R U Ok movement as well as other mental awareness campaigns that support the public but also the wellbeing of elite athletes such as themselves. Legends! We love the Campbell's <3 @mkeonswimming @wiaqteam @ias @ausswimming @olympicchannel #swimming #swim #pool #triathlon #swimmer #swimmingpool #fitness #sport #summer #love #beach #swimbikerun #water #training #gym #swimlife #ironman #swimmingpools #triathlontraining #sea #swimmers #swimsuit #sports

09.01.2022 You could say, that during all the uncertainty and cancelled sport, individual sports like trail running thrived. When the Illawarra escarpment is your backyard, the kilometres clocked up for many, not down! There were many record-breaking climbs of Sublime Point, some non-stop over days and nights. There were influxes of people joining local trail running groups, and trail adventure stores have never seen better days! What better sport to jump into to appreciate the beautif...ul part of the world we live in? Most people have thoroughly done our local coastline, but why not take to the hills this August to escape the wind...? Remember to always make room for dynamic stretches and warm-up jogs to make sure those knees, hips and ankles are ready for the uneven surfaces of the trails. But if you do get injured out there, call us on 4228 9299!

09.01.2022 Just had this statement from our Physiotherapy board and registration body. "Thank you for continuing to provide these vital services where and when you can."

07.01.2022 The maillot jaune, the yellow signature jersey of the Tour De France!

03.01.2022 Peter Haddock - legendary rugby league halfback and the founder of the sport of Oztag in Australia. He and Chris Parkes introduced Oztag as a non contact version of Rugby League, which is now played by over 100,000 people in organised leagues across the country. Perry first used the game as a training tool for the Under 21's St George Team, with all the movements of Rugby League and easy-to-follow rules that made for an exciting social game! #oztaghistory #oztag #tagleague #...rugbyleague #perryhaddock #stgeorge #stgeorgedragons #physio #physiotherapy #sportsphysio #sportstherapy @nrl_dragons @nsw_oztag

01.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW: A study in Research Quarterly For Exercise And Sport found that skipping for 10 minutes a day delivered the same cardiovascular benefits over six weeks as jogging daily for 30 minutes?? It's a full body exercise, incorporating your core, ankles, pelvic floor, legs, arms and shoulders - and helps to correct your posture by pulling you out of the hunched position you find yourself in while working from home... Skipping is steadily transitioning from a school yard... activity to a primary focus for cross-trainers, celebrity workout schemes and even boutique workshops! At first, a slightly heavier rope is good to use as the rotation will slow down making jumping easier. This will set you up for success with a lighter speed rope! Then, when you've mastered that, go back to heavier ropes and push your body against the resistance. #physiofriday #physiotherapy #fitness #fitnessgoals #crosstraining #jumprope #skipping #fitnfast #physio #therope #sportstherapy #sports #sportsphysio
