25.01.2022 One of the most frequently asked questions we get as physiotherapists, is about posture at the office. Here is a great graphic about some of the most important ...posture tips we give to our patients. But remember, getting up from the desk and moving regularly (every 30-40 minutes) is even MORE beneficial to the body than perfect posture! Our bodies are built to move!! So get up and MOVE!

23.01.2022 #Repost @dr.caleb.burgess Healing Times - One of the most common issues I encounter when helping people recover from an injury or from surgery is of the healing times of various tissues... - Everyone wants to be better NOW, but this isnt realistic. Tissue healing takes TIME. We cant rush it. And its important to understand that tissues heal at different rates depending on their physical makeup and blood supply, among other things. Additional contributing factors, such as diabetes, age, poor nutrition, inadequate rest, etc can further delay the healing process - This chart shows the AVERAGE range of healing times for various tissues in the body, including different grades of tissue injury for muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It can serve not only as a guide but also a reminder that we cant force our bodies to heal faster than physiologically possible - What we can do is OPTIMIZE the healing process by rehabbing appropriately, eating high quality food, getting adequate rest, and staying PATIENT and POSITIVE throughout the journey - SAVE this chart as a reference and TAG a friend recovering from injury who could use it too!

21.01.2022 Do you suffer from recurrent headaches or migraines? Did you know that tightness through your neck and shoulders muscles or joints can be responsible for pain into the head? One of the exercises our physiotherapists regularly give out for maintenance of headaches is the "Chin tuck" (shown below). The chin tuck exercise is a great way for getting movement into the neck after sitting at the desk or computer too long. Try sets of 10 or 15 in a row, to get the best benefit! If you want to know more about contributing factors and management of headaches or migraines, come and speak to the physiotherapists at Recover.

20.01.2022 WHAT ARE SHIN SPLINTS?? . Shin Splints is an umbrella term used describe the pain associated with inflamed muscles/tendon/bone along the tibia. There are two main types. . 1. Anterior Tibial Stress Syndrome (ATSS) where the Tibialis Anterior muscle that lifts the foot is affected.... . And 2. Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) or Posterior Shin Splints involving the Tibialis Posterior muscle that lifts the arch of the foot during weight-bearing. Ongoing & untreated medial side weakness can create torsional Tibial stress, resulting in stress fractures along the shin bone. . Shin splints are generally an overuse injury caused by overtraining and/or overloading poor foot biomechanics. They are common in running and jumping athletes and those returning to sport after a long period off. . As with many injuries, there are differing phases and severities of shin splints. If you are experiencing shin pain during and after exercise, pop in to see your Physiotherapist in order to correct the problem and get you back on your feet See more

11.01.2022 We often get questions pertaining to strapping...what tape to use, the difference between k-tape & rigid tape, what direction to pull, what does it actually do? How long does it work for? . Taping can be useful in a number of ways in the management of both acute and chronic injuries. With rigid taping we can add short-term stability by blocking movement in certain directions or correct the position of a joint. Kinesiology-tape on the other hand can assist with movement and po...sitioning by working in the direction of the underlying muscles. . Here is a video of our Receptionist @_acchen (also a physio student) being guided through the application of rigid tape to @sarah_trifogli_fitness (Our physio)s Ankle following an acute Grade-1 Lateral ankle sprain yesterday. Rigid tape is used in this situation to pull the ankle laterally into slight eversion and prevent it from inverting the other way (blocking movement). This allows for the damaged ATFL ligament to start healing in a shortened position, as well as applying some slight compression and trying to add support to prevent any further distraction of the injured structures. On top of all that, with pain being a feature of lateral ankle sprains, the tape can also help with short term pain relief, confidence and anxiety about the injury! . #taping #strapping #strappingtape #physiotherapy #physio #physiotherapystudent #anklestrapping #sportstaping #anklesprain #rehab #recoverphysio See more

07.01.2022 How many times have you heard someone mention not being able to do something because theyre "too old"?? It still amazes me that even with a very strong body of evidence supporting all the advantages of strength training, balance training and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for the elderly population, people continue to opt-out of these exercise programs because they feel they are "too old" to be putting that much physical stress on their bodies. Ageism is not a valid... excuse to avoid physical activity, so to put this bluntly...you either use it, or lose it!!! The less you move, the weaker you become. Simple! Exercise such as resistance training and HIIT sessions have been scientifically proven to benefit brain health, bone density & heart health, boost metabolism & mood, reduce the risk of falls, pain and injury, and ward off some very big and fatal diseases! Of course ageing comes with some irreversible changes, including conditions such as Osteoarthritis (OA), but did you know that exercise is also the most evidence-based treatment for OA, helping in reducing both pain and the requirement of surgery? So dont let your age hold you back...get up, get moving, stay strong & stay healthy!

07.01.2022 Told you need to have surgery for an injury? Have you tried physiotherapy first? GPs refer to physios more than any other health profession. #choosephysio

05.01.2022 BULGING DISCS 101 Ive had a lot of people ask me recently about disc bulges, protruding discs and slipped discs. These are terms used quite often when people experience back pain, and the name itself can be quite scary. But what exactly is a disc bulge? The spine is made up of 24 vertebral bones, each separated by a fibrocartilage disc that absorbs load and allows for spinal movement. The inner part of the disc is a jelly-like glycoprotein that adjusts to pressure by moving......for example, if you flex forward and compress the front of the disc, the contents move to the back. Likewise if you extend backwards and compress the back of the disc, the jelly is pushed to the front. The same goes for side bending left to right. Sometimes, the wall of the disc, (the annulus) becomes weakened, and under load, movement direction allows for the nucleus to start bulging through the wall. Depending on where the bulge has occurred, it can press up against the nerves that exit the spinal foramina causing pain, pinching, muscle spasm, pins & needles, or numbness along the distributed pathway that the affected nerve travels. If the wall of the annulus tears and the nucleus is pushed out, this then becomes a herniated disc. The image below shows the difference between these. A disc bulge can occur as a result of sudden, heavy or unexpected load/pressure on the discs such as lifting heavy weight, genetic predisposition, or even accumulated micro-trauma such as poor posture and prolonged periods of sitting. Yes, you read that correctly...sitting too much can cause disc injuries!!! Sitting, standing up from sitting, lifting, sneezing/coughing, and forward bending positions are usually painful for someone with disc injuries. Meaning that treatment tends to incorporate exercises with a bias into an extension direction. Image from byebyebackpain.com

04.01.2022 Its the 1st of Feb...were already a whole month into 2019, and this is a time when physiotherapists start to get busy! Why you ask? Because some people go all-out with their attempts to kick start the new year with a New Years resolution to get fit and lose weight...often overloading themselves into a state of overuse injury pain! . An overuse injury occurs usually with a sudden increase in load (eg, going from no activity to running 5km every single day), without allowing ...for sufficient adaptation to occur. Muscles, bones, ligaments & tendons gain strength through a remodeling process of progressive breakdown and build-up, and if you dont give yourself the recovery time to build you constantly break-down faster that you can restore and recover. This can lead to common overuse injuries such as tendinopathies, bursitis & stress-fractures. . This picture shows some of the most common tendinopathy injuries that result from overuse trauma. At Recover, we see a lot of rotator cuff issues in the shoulder, Patella tendon pain in the knee, tennis elbow and Achilles tendon injuries in the ankle. They can be painful, stiff, swollen and tender to touch, with a varied healing time depending on what phase of tendinopathy youre in. Tendons need mobility and load for healing, so Physios can assist you with proper diagnosis and the most appropriate rehab program suitable for your type of tendon injury to ensure you get back to your activities strong & pain free as quickly as possible. . #tendinopathy #tendonitis #overuse #physiotherapy #physio #rehab #pain #tendonpain #exercise #therapy #recoverphysio See more

02.01.2022 Hey runners, are you getting hip pain when you run? It could be your TFL! Tensor Fascia Latae (TFL) Pain... The tensor fascia latae (TFL) is muscle of the hip and gluteal region, positioned on the outside of the hip, attaching to the iliotibial band (ITB). The TFL functions to flex the hip and rotate it inwards. It is also an important stabiliser if the pelvis and hip. Symptoms Associated with TFL Pain TFL strains are very common among runners. It usually starts with pain or tightness at the outer hip. It can also present as pain in the outer knee due to its attachment to the ITB. When running, the TFL is used significantly as it stabilises the hip and pelvis - especially on the weight bearing leg. Should the runners gluteal muscles not be working in tandem with the adjoining muscles, it can lead to an overload of the TFL. This can lead to tightness and tenderness in the TFL. Ways to Relieve TFL Pain - TFL Stretching Stand with the sore leg crossed behind the good leg. Lean your weight over your good leg. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds. - Trigger Point Successful results can be gained by lying your sore side on a massage ball, moving until your painful spot is apparent. Maintain the pressure for 10 to 15 seconds or until tenderness subsides. - Glute Strengthening (Bridges) Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Push through your heels to lift your bottom off the floor. Hold for three seconds. Repeat 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions IMPORTANT: Your primary goal is to stop any activities that aggravate your condition - this may include running. Stop any activities that worsen your tenderness.
