24.01.2022 The sternocleidomastoid (SCM) is a muscle that runs from behind your ear to the front of your neck. When this muscle is tight or sore it can cause neck pain/tenderness and headaches. The good news however is that you can release this muscle yourself! 1. Turn your head to look away from the sore muscle 2. Hold on to the muscle near the neck 3. Move your hand back and fourth while holding the muscle for 1 minute 4. Move your way down the muscle

19.01.2022 Dead bugs is an exercise to strengthen and stabilise your core, spine and back muscles. This exercise helps teach you to keep your core stable and back protected while your legs and arms are moving. While performing this exercise keep your lower back in contact with the floor at all times. Only perform this exercise if it is pain free! A good goal to achieve would be 20 in a row for 2 rounds.

19.01.2022 It is important that your treatment for your back pain is focused on movement and exercise as this improve your function and reduce your pain whereas a treatment plan that is focused on rest, medications and manual therapy can actually WORSEN your back pain. Exercise and physical activity have been shown to be safe for individuals with back pain and DOES NOT increase the risk of future back injuries. In fact, it actually reduces sick leave from back pain as well as decreases back pain during pregnancy. If you or someone you know is suffering from persistent back pain and is ready to try one of the many types of exercise programs that can help reduce their pain then book an appointment to see one of our friendly staff at our Kellyville clinic (9672 6752).

08.01.2022 Ankle sprains are a frequent injury we see in the clinic and even more so during winter. Sports such as netball, soccer and rugby are common ways to sustain an ankle sprain. What is a sprain? A sprain refers to the tearing of ligaments around a joint. In an ankle sprain you are most likely to injure the outside 3 ligaments and occasionally you can injure the inside one too. You will typically experience pain, swelling, bruising and difficulty weight bearing. ... What should I DO if I think I have an ankle sprain? - elevate your ankle and apply some compression (tubigrip or bandage) as soon as possible - see your physiotherapist as soon as possible to receive proper management, we may put you in a cam boot depending on the severity of your injury and to promote better healing What should I NOT do? - don't continue to play if you cannot fully weight bear without limping or if you have pain - avoid taking anti inflammatory medications such as Nurofen and Voltaren - don't delay seeing your physiotherapist, you may be able to return to sport sooner and prevent further complications If you injure yourself over the weekend don't forget you can book online so that you can secure an appointment for the following week!

03.01.2022 2 Exercises to Help With Overhead Stability . We often see patients with pain when performing movements overhead/above shoulder height, be it our athletes, weightlifters, or people performing everyday tasks at home. . Patients usually present with loss of range of motion, as we restore their shoulder movement in the clinic to full range with no pain, we will begin to test their tolerance to loadings overhead. ... . The two exercises in this video are just a couple of our go to, when trying to promote strength and stability with overhead movement (a must for healthy shoulder joints), in the final phases of overhead shoulder rehab: . 1 Dumbbell + Banded Shoulder Flexion - a challenging shoulder exercise as it works different planes of motion. You have to push out against the band while raising your arms with the weights in hand. We like to cue a slow tempo here also. . 2 Kettlebell Bottoms Up Arnold Press - This is a great shoulder strengthening and stability exercise. With the kettlebell bottoms up it adds that extra unstable force to help activate your stabilizers. . Tag someone who could use these exercises! Like and save if you found it helpful!

01.01.2022 Lateral Collateral Ligament complete rupture LCL ruptures of the knee are quite rare and when they occur in isolation only account for approximately 2% of all knee ligament injuries. This patient was in fact an ACL, LCL and meniscus patient and sustained the injury while playing sport. As with all sprains they are graded from 1 - 3 (where 1 is minor and 3 is a complete rupture). The LCL is vulnerable to injury when the foot/shin is forced inwards in relation to the kne...e. The video demonstrates a positive LCL test. This patient has since had operative repair of the ligament using a hamstring graft from his opposite leg. He is doing really well with his rehab and has a stable knee. #knee #ligament #acl #lcl #injury #ppsphysiotherapy #physiotherapy #ligament #sport #rehab #surgery #kellyville #carlingford
