25.01.2022 Shoulder Rehabilitation Course for 2020 by Mark Goswell - https://mailchi.mp//shoulder-rehabilitation-course-for-202

The incidence of strokes is occurring in younger people more and more and people need assistance in improving their health and the EPs at ProActive Rehabilitation and Health can provide you with the most up to date scientific evidence based training. It is advisable to always get check ups and stay on top of your health and if you need any assurance come and see us. #stroke #strokeweek #rehabilitation #ep #exercise #exercisephysiology #2nurfm #radio #interview

24.01.2022 If you want to create a habit you have to start with the correct process. It takes 6 weeks to create a new habit so start with little things like putting your training clothes out the night before, train before you go home after work, make an inviting exercise space at home. Listen to my interview on 2NURFM for more advise. #exercise #2nurfm #routine #training #programming #planning

21.01.2022 Every Wednesday at 9:40am I speak on 2NURFM (103.7) about all things Exercise Physiology and today was about kids and weight training. Kids aged 11-15 should not be doing heavy Olympic based weight training, sled pushes, kettle bell swings, etc to improve performance and they can achieve amazing outcomes with the correct exercises, delivered the correct ways by just using their body weight. Save your kids from injury and train the right way. Have a listen and if you have any questions please message me. #kids #kidweightlifting #safeexercise #exercisemotivation #exercise

21.01.2022 || SHOULDER REHAB: From Assessment to Exercise Prescription || We are pleased to announce Mark is back teaching existing and upcoming EPs around the country in the later half of 2020! This course is focussed on Shoulder Rehabilitation taking Exercise Physiologists on a journey from the initial meeting of clients, how to interview and physically assess them, through to exercise prescription and delivery of the specific exercises needed to assist in the rehabilitation of shou...lder injuries. https://www.proactiverehab.com.au/shoulder-course/

20.01.2022 To all Health Professionals please choose your words carefully when you are communicating with clients. They will hold on to negative information and you are in a position of power. If you normalize their condition and let them know that they will be ok, you have achieved half the rehab battle. Keep up the great work and stay positive

20.01.2022 Time is the one component in life that people dont have enough of. Imagine if you could use your environment to rehabilitate your injuries. Motor control or motor patterning is the process of focusing on your every movement to focus on muscle control and activation to unload the affected injured area. Over the coming weeks I will show you how to use the world as your gym to rehab your injuries. If you want some help with a specific injury then please let me know #rehabilitation #gym #worldisyourgym #exercisephysiology #2nurfm #getbetter #positivity

20.01.2022 Sometimes after a hard day it’s important to walk away from the stresses in life and enjoy the beauty around you. A walk with the dog (who just wants to love you) clears the mind and centers your thoughts. Enjoy the quiet time #puppylove #quiet #stress #stressmanagement #walk #lifesgood #family

19.01.2022 And this is the view for breakfast before Matt and I take on the VW Scramble at Hunter Valley Golf Club #golf #crowneplaza #huntervalley

18.01.2022 WHO WORE IT BETTER? - Meet Callum who will be joining the Proactive Rehab team very soon. I must have known he would be a good fit for our amazing Exercise Physiology Practice when we turned up today in the same outfit, but I’d still love to know who looks better in green. #oakley #oakleyaustralia #uniform #staffuniform #golf #golffit

18.01.2022 People who deal with chronic pain know what Im talking about. Some days are bloody hard and you just need to ride them out. Just know that tomorrow is a better day and if you learn how to manage and control the beast you can lead a better life #pain #painsucks #ep #exercisemotivation #proactiverehabandhealth #exercisephysiology

18.01.2022 Sometimes with complex clients we have to use our brain and think outside of the square. The use of bands are an excellent way to re-pattern movements to create pain free ranges. Clients in chronic pain love to find ways to move pain free, achieving this helps the client break the pain cycle and also realize that there is an end in sight to the management of their condition. #lovemyjob #pain #chronicpain #exercisemotivation #motorpattern #exercisephysiology #thinkpositive #thinkoutsidethebox

18.01.2022 Marks thought of the day brought to you by me. Everyday working with clients there is a theme that occurs so at the end of the day I am going to share that theme with you and discuss my experiences. If there is something you want to know please comment otherwise stay tuned everyday and we will see what happens. #thoughtoftheday #exercisemotivation #exercisephysiology #myopinion #seewhathappens

14.01.2022 HEADACHES - these can be caused by tightness and tension to the levator scapula, which is the muscle that starts on the inside and top of the shoulder and leads up to the base of the neck. When you have this it can present as a headache that appears in the back of the eye or the forehead. If you feel you have tension in the neck (stemming from the shoulder blade) then try this exercise. Lay down with your arms down by your side and draw your shoulders back and down (without ...lifting your head off the ground as this will cause tension in the lower back). Hold this for up to 10 seconds, release for 10 seconds and repeat 10 times. Let me know if you have any questions #headaches #exerciseathome #neckpain #exerciseismedicine #exerciserelief #ep #headache

12.01.2022 If you want to develop your golf swing to improve your game it is a lot easier if you can get your body into the position it needs to be in to achieve this.

Come and see me at ProActive Rehabilitation if you want to develop your body to match the swing you need.

02.01.2022 I have been working with clients with chronic pain for nearly 20 years and one of my biggest concerns is when practitioners spend their time providing symptom relief instead of finding the cause of the issue. All increases in pain can be tracked back to a trigger. Once you know the trigger you can reverse engineer a solution. If you are a client that has been on the treatment merry-go-round and are not getting results ask your practitioner the one simple question ...... Why? ... Why are they doing that treatment? Why have I not improved? Why am I experiencing these issues? Etc, etc. they should have an explanation or be able to help you in your journey to improve your pain management. On a side note the pain is not in your head. #pain #exercise #exercisephysiologists #painmanagement #dotherightthing #why #answers #findanswers

01.01.2022 In these uncertain times I am letting all of our clients know that we remain open and can offer all of our amazing Exercise Physiology services to ensure you maintain your rehabilitation and exercise goals.
