25.01.2022 We are closing for the public holidays but open in between Christmas and New Years for all your physio needs! Back to normal trading hours from Jan 4th

24.01.2022 http:// SQUAT BASICS // . The humble bodyweight squat - a great functional exercise that combines work through your glutes (butt muscles), quadriceps (muscles at the front of the thigh) and hamstrings (muscles at the back of the thigh). Young or old, if you're wanting to build up some strength in your legs, you should be including squats somewhere in your exercise program. . The first video shows a hip dominant squat. Movement is initiated by bending at the hips, butt goes backw...ard and upper body comes forward. Knees stay over the ankles. . The second video shows a knee dominant squat. Movement is initiated by bending at the knees. Upper body stays upright and knees come forward past the ankles in line with your toes. . So which one should you be doing? In theory there's nothing wrong with knee dominant squats but they do bias your quadriceps and put more load through your knees. If you're getting pain with squatting or have a history of knee injury, try switching your technique to a more hip dominant style. . If you're dealing with a current knee injury or have specific rehab goals its a good idea to check in with a physio for a tailored and specific exercise program. . (Ps: Remember when it was warm enough to wear t-shirts outside? Ah the days) See more

19.01.2022 http:// CLOSED FOR 6 DAYS // The official advice from the Chief Health Officer has come through and due to South Australia's Covid 19 circuit breaker restrictions we will not be conducting any face-to-face physiotherapy appointments during the next six days.

12.01.2022 http:// UPDATE // At this stage there are no new restrictions on the operation of physiotherapy practices and we are open and running as we have been for the last few months! We are continuing to implement a strict cleaning regime in the clinic to ensure client safety.

Group exercise classes - GLA:D and Core Strength and Balance will continue to run over the next fortnight and remain capped at four people per class. We kindly ask that you call to cancel your appointment if you are feeling unwell.

10.01.2022 http:// Mental Health and Pain // . 2020 has been a year where most people have had increased feelings of stress, anxiety and isolation and as a result our mental health is likely to be suffering. . Mental health and physical health are closely linked. Being in a low mood can amplify pain signals in the brain and mean that you experience pain more intensely than you otherwise would.... . But physical activity and exercise can release endorphins, helping to reduce pain levels and boost your mood! . Here are some other simple activities you can include in your day to help boost your mood. Make sure you're taking some time today to look after yourself. See more

10.01.2022 http:// RESISTANCE TRAINING // Did you know that you should be aiming to perform resistance training (exercise that strengthens your muscles) at least twice a week? No access to a gym at the moment and no equipment at home? Not a problem! A lot of your large muscle groups can be trained through simple bodyweight exercises, such as the humble squat.

06.01.2022 The Pt Elliot Physio team would like to say a big thank you to all our clients for the extra steps you have all taken over the last few months to keep us, yourselves and the community safe during this pandemic! . Thankyou to everyone who has sanitised their hands before walking through the clinic front door, kept their space from other clients in the waiting room and taken that extra step back from our reception counter. . Thankyou for being patient while we take a little bi...t of extra time to make sure the rooms are cleaned between patients. . Thankyou to everyone who has called to cancel an appointment if they've been showing symptoms of illness. And a big big thankyou to everyone who has gone and gotten tested and self-isolated until they recieve a negative test result back! . We are living in uncertain times and it is easy to get fatigued but we encourage everyone to please keep doing all of the above! See more

05.01.2022 http:// CLASSES ARE BACK // . Our small group exercise classes are back up and running!

01.01.2022 http:// Stretching and Myofascial Release // . Got a little extra time in your day now you're staying at home? Now is a great time to dust off that sheet of stretches your physio prescribed you (the ones at the bottom of the drawer you'd completely forgotten about doing anymore ), and start working on some flexibility! . We're working on bringing you some video content for how to stretch, foam roll and release trigger points at home. Got any problem areas or injuries you'd like to see covered? Let us know in the comments!
