18.01.2022 Cervicogenic Headache A cerviogenic headache is one that originates from the cervical spine and there are many contributing factors that can set one off. These include; prolonged postures, stiff upper cervical joints, reduced thoracic mobility, whiplash, severe stress and muscle trauma / injury. What you may experience:... Pain and discomfort influenced by moving your neck Neck stiffness The upper 3 neck joints are sore to touch Typically feel worse in the mornings Sensitivity of the surrounding muscles (upper traps, levator scapulae and suboccipital extensors) Clinical Presentation: One-sided without side-shift Pain location is from the occipital to fronto-parietal and orbital Chronic and episodic Moderate to severe intensity Throbbing and sharp pain commonly starting in the neck Decreased range of neck motion Triggered by neck movements and posture Associated symptoms are usually absent but can mildly experience nausea, vomiting, visual changes and sensitive to light and sound Physiotherapy - Assessment and Treatment: Treatment is multifactorial and can include pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions guided by your Doctor. It is common for pain to travel and move around, therefore the role of the physiotherapist is to investigate where the pain is coming from! Commonly where you feel the pain may not always be where the source of problem is! A thorough assessment of the Cervical Spine, Thoracic Spine and Posture will provide evidence in offering you with the most effective pain reductive strategies and exercises, aimed to reduce symptoms and restore range.

17.01.2022 CLICKING in the Shoulder . Why...... Overall there are many reasons as to why shoulders make these weird noises . Usually it's pain free and completely normal ... . Here are 5 reasons as to why it happens: 1.Tendons moving / flicking over bony structures within the shoulder. . 2. Air bubbles forming in the glenohumeral joint and then escaping . 3. A normal part of cartilage wear and tear and thus, a bit more rubbing of the joint surfaces may occur . 4. Muscle tightness can cause friction and rubbing over the bone . 5. Non optimal humeral head centering into the glenoid . TAKE HOME MESSAGE: . A catching / locking and popping that is accompanied by swelling, pain and loss of shoulder function SHOULD BE REVIEWED by a Qualified Health professional . Whether Acute or Gradually Onset... A review remains warranted .

14.01.2022 ATTENTION DANCERS Symptoms of BURNOUT and how to manage it It's Mid November and your load begins to increase in prep for your End of year Showcase / Grad !!! Symptoms of irritability, stress, anxiety and fatigue seem to be a common occurrence. Time to take charge of your body and make sure your performance remains optimal.... Here are some HACKS 1. Understand the difference between pain from overuse verse pushing the physical boundaries. Stay in tune with your body! Know when to self manage and know when to ask for help. Constant pain that does not dissipate after 1-3 days of reduced physical exertion, could be more than just a case of muscle soreness. 2. Replenish your body! Nutrition and Hydration. A balanced diet will aid in muscle recovery. Crash diets can leave you feeling tired, fatigued and irritable. Reduced energy availability can result in headaches, loss of coordination and balance all of which are critical for dancers. 3. Water fuels power and aids in various bodily functions. Drinking small amounts often can help prevent dehydration. 4. Adequate recovery and cross training: Whether it be in the form of foam rolling, trigger point release work, deep core work, pilates, low level strength and conditioning etc, etc. Your body needs some diversity otherwise those routines that are cleaned and detailed over and over will start to take a toll on you. 5. Don't skip the REST DAYS! Give your body a chance to recover. Check in with how many hours you are actually sleeping per night. 6. Relax and enjoy the journey! You have worked so hard despite an extremely unusual year. Time to put in a few more weeks of hard work and then we can celebrate! If you feel like you are suffering from symptoms of Burnout or Overtraining chat to us now and make a booking! Time to Take charge of your body. <3 Raw Element rawelementphysiotherapy.com .

12.01.2022 Trying to nail those Double or Single Knee Hangs This will need to involve strengthening the muscles of the Hamstrings Long and Short head of Biceps Femoris... Semitendinosus Semimembranosus There are so many ways to strengthen a muscle. But put simply, it is beneficial to strengthen muscles through range (proximal and distal strength), with variable speeds, progressive load and different types of muscle contractions such as: 1 isometrics - a held contraction where muscle length does not change 2 isotonic - constant tension as the muscle length changes 3eccentrics - muscle lengthens under contraction 4concentric - muscle shortens under contraction So let’s get those Hamstrings Firing with Nordics!! evidence-based exercise reduces frequency of hamstring related injuries eccentrically, increases fascicle length and greater eccentric peak torque Check out our Physio’s Stephanie and Cecilia practicing an assisted eccentric Nordic with a cheeky smile in between A scheduled, individualised and progressive hamstring strengthening program is fundamental for enhancing performance / specialised tricks and preventing injury. Check in with one of our Physio’s to learn how to progress hamstring strength and train specifically for your goals #rawelementphysio #circusphysio #dancephysio #strengthandconditioning #hamstrings #nordics #aerial

11.01.2022 Feeling the urge to get physically active throughout the Holidays?? . With the Festive Season in full swing we wanted to reach out and provide some simple tips on how to stay or get physically active throughout the holidays in a safe way! ... . Managing load and one’s physical activity can have a very different meaning to each individual, based on whether you are thinking of taking up a completely new activity or if you are in a maintenance phase and on break from your normal training load. . Load Management External load = the act of physical work, such as training volume, intensity and frequency Internal load = the body’s response to the amount of physical work (physiological, psychological, and perceptual response) . Simple Tips for Holiday Physical Activity Write up SMART goals - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound Take it easy - ensure activity is graded, meaning if you are thinking of taking up running start slow and small, assess your body’s response and then progress if appropriate Lock in some rest days - allow for active recovery Change Postures - avoid sitting or any sustained postures for long periods of time Take regular breaks - if you are driving for long hours don’t forget to have a break and stretch it out Maintain current capacity - if you have a current strength and conditioning program, schedule in some time to stay compliant Stay motivated - call up a buddy to join you Change it up - from cardio to strength training such as swimming, body resisted exercises, bike riding, bush walking, roller blading Keep it fun - get creative with your exercise type, location and do something you enjoy Don't ignore pain - Raw Element Physiotherapy is open over the Christmas period. We are here to provide advice and recommendations regarding load management and help you stay active but safe . #rawelementphysio #dancephysio #holidays #trainingload #simpletips #loadmanagement #rosbery #circus #festiveseason #christmas #physicalactivity #safeactivity

07.01.2022 Posture there is no one correct posture or perfect posture the body will continuously adjust to different positions and movement throughout the day ... Something that we see often at @raw.element.physio is Anterior Sway Posture - shown on the left side of the photo: pelvis tucked under hips in extension forward translation of the pelvis sunken ribs centre of mass is behind Why this may be important If someone stands with anterior sway posture, it is likely that they will move in this way too and in result overload and underuse structures, leading to injury. Example: A dancer who prepares and stands in first position at the barre with anterior sway posture is then likely to move through their plie’ in a way which promotes poor movement patterns, limited turnout and overload of structures. Key Points acknowledge posture in a way that does not encourage obsession or fear avoidant behaviour use simple postural cues recognize how sustained and repetitive postures can influence pain and dysfunction Thankyou for the blog post @physionetwork and @dralisongrimaldi who clarified clinical reasoning, implications and more in detail regarding Standing Posture, Hip Joint Loads and the Management of Hip Pain
