25.01.2022 SINGLE LEG STANCE TEST An ankle sprain is one of the most commonly injuries that does not receive proper rehab after injury. This would usually cause balance issues causing the entire body to shift to one side ... A client was having aches and pains all over his body, and in his history there were multiple incidents with ankle sprains. Using the Single Leg Stance (SLS) test (slide left for the videos), we noticed his right foot pronating and her left supinating. We further found his right peroneals were overactive and his right hip abductors under active. Also, his left tibialis posterior was overactive and his left inner hip flexors under active. Treatment involved releasing the overactive muscles and activating the under active muscles one side at a time. His SLS, although challenging, improved!!! Rehab is to mimic the session and do SLS with the corrections. Try this test at home in front of a mirror and watch carefully the balances that come up. If you need further help with your previous ankle injuries or have unresolved pains, please give us a call on (02) 8721 6534. We are always happy to help

25.01.2022 Jumper’s Knee Ezekiel came into the clinic with knee pain below the knee cap during and after games Assessments found and inflamed and overworked patella tendon which compensated for an inhibited quadraciep and glute maximus. ... We released overworked muscles and strengthened underworking muscles while putting gradual load on the patella tendon to increase tolerance. This post shows 3 exercises which can be useful for people who struggle with Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendinopathy). The exercises are shown in a gradually more demanding way, where the first variation is less demanding on the patellar tendon than the second one. 1Spanish Squat: Performed at approximately 70 to 100 of knee flexion. The first exercise shows a spanish squat at around 90 and the second shows one at around 100. It should reduce pain afterwards by reducing motor cortex inhibition of the quadriceps, which is associated with patellar tendinopathy 2Split Squat: performed between 10 and all the way to 90 of knee flexion 3 After having built up the tolerance of the patellar tendon, energy storage exercises like jumping, cutting, acceleration and deceleration were introduced with sport specific training These are just a few exercises and a small piece of a much bigger puzzle to Ezekiel’s program, but give them a shot and if you need more help with your basketball injuries, give us a call on 8721 6534. We’re always happy to help!

24.01.2022 WORKING FROM HOME We’ve had a very common theme in clinic this week - neck and/or lower back pain from sitting incorrectly at the computer.

11.01.2022 Chloe came in with various hip, knee and ankle injuries resulting from competitive basketball. After getting her out of pain, we incorporated a strength and conditioning program that was tailored to her dysfunctions. In addition to her strength and conditioning program, Chloe utilises basketball specific drills with a band to make it more effective at targeting her glutes.... Drop Step - This exercise is a great way to practice a defensive position while targeting hip and ankle mobility and strength. Drop Step with Controlled Dynamic Knee Valgus - It is definitely not favourable for the knee to go inwards during sport or daily life however, it happens. So when it does happen, athletes are better off being really good at controlling this motion. Banded Side Shuffle - While crab walks might be sufficient for the general population, athletes need speed and agility. Moving laterally quickly is important in basketball. If we focus on the trailing leg, this drill helps develop a strong concentric contraction as you push off and a strong eccentric contraction of the hip abductors as you bring the leg back to center. These are just a few exercises and a small part of Chloe’s program, but give them a shot and if you need more help with your basketball injuries, give us a call on 8721 6534. We’re always happy to help! ... @sydney_comets_basketball @noexcusesperformance @no1draftpickau
