25.01.2022 Good News for the public. Wise choice of health funding, improving the integrity/effectiveness of primary health care services!

24.01.2022 As cricket and golf seasons kick into high gear it's important to highlight the importance of shoulder stability in throwing and swinging! A client of mine sustained a muscular strain of his rhomboid musculature recently. The rhomboids (major and minor), trapezius and serrated anterior are responsible for decelerating the shoulder girdle after you've put everything into throwing a ball or swinging a club.... So how much force is in your throw? Up to 81% of your Body Weight passes through your throwing arm! thats a lot of weight moving real quick! As you can imagine a robust breaking system is needed! I'll be posting an easy exercise to throw (pun intended) into your warm up or gym routine to train this fundamental movement function Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3445080/

23.01.2022 Hey folks, I've put together a short exercise video series targeted at energizing the core whilst sitting at work ...stay tuned

22.01.2022 Woaaahhhhhh.... Check out the PROPRIOCEPTION on this fella.... Proprioception: "perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body" Proprioception is sometimes called the "Sixth Sense", it's our ability to synthesis all the information coming in from our body's sensors, to synthesise this information and give us a reading of where we are in space and time...... PROPRIOCEPTION is essential in everything we do, and doing it safely! Try walking in a straight line with your eyes closed for 10m. Open your eyes, how did you go??? Thats a great test of your proprioception on a basic level, taking away our visual field and relying only on our proprioceptive and vestibular (balance) systems.

18.01.2022 Another STS variation. This time with an adductor loading tweak. So good at giving that pelvis some freedom allowing you to sit for longer and move better! Give it a go! drop a comment HAPPY FRIDAY! #physiosydney #physioalexandria #sydney #physiotherapy #adductors #workoutatwork #coreworkout #sidelunge

18.01.2022 Knee pain associated with ageing can be overwhelming! However "wear" can be REPAIRED! Therapeutic land-based exercise is the gold standard treatment for knee O.A/degeneration. It works to improve stability and strength as well as chemically alter joint fluid and cartilage! flushing away the nasty chemicals and stimulating release of nourishing chemicals so you can get back to doing what you do after a solid 8 week exercise program Sources - https://bjs...m.bmj.com/content/49/24/1554 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/12681951/ See more

17.01.2022 What a way to start the day! Getting pushed by @suntouched.yoga on maroubra beach I've recently been getting back into yoga hard! So much to gain

17.01.2022 Get Up & Move!!! This is a great one to energise so many areas of the core Try and do it Standing on 1 leg but if balance is an issue, stand on both feet Really engage those lats by pushing down into the chair as well as rocking the chair forward, if you have a wheely chair, just roll it forward Try 5 of these on each leg... Let me know how you go! See more

17.01.2022 Exercise of the week!!! Are you someone that doesn't feel fully confident in your shoulder function, Do you get pain/tightness in overhead movements? . . Quite often, stiff and sore shoulders have an element of instability. ... What causes this is a lack of control in which the 4 rotator cuff muscles don't work together as a team properly. This lack of control causes the shoulder joint to function at below optimal and may cause some surrounding structures to get tired and angry So, one of the most effective ways to resolve this issue is to help "wake up" those muscles which aren't pulling their weight. We can achieve this by adding in some extra forces to a simple movement such a shoulder flexion. . . In this exercise the extra forces: 1. pulling out on the band 2. pushing into the wall = Help to energise the rotator cuff for smooth pain free movement... so, GIVE IT A GO!!

14.01.2022 Relieve your neck pain You load your shoulders, hips and knees in the gym to get strong and avoid injury... SO...

Doing this exercise every day or so over a 6 week period will inherently improve posture, control, resilience and injury prevention ...

13.01.2022 Max force output through max torque and kinetic recoil. This is one of the 3 different types of shoulder strikes in Chen Style Tai Chi.

10.01.2022 Don't forget to do some moderate intensity exercise whilst you're quarantining, especially if your local sports comp or weekly physical activity routines have been put on hold!! Exercise is great at boosting your immune response in defence against virus. I'm still working as normal at this point and happy to take any messages and questions around exercise and health. It's often unknown that physios are expertly trained at assessing and treating respiratory illness as well.... You can exercise you're lungs as well! Here is a study which notes the benefit of exercise when virally infected... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//PMC2803/pdf/nihms-139640.pdf "In summary, we found that moderate intensity exercise following influenza infection reduced lung inflammation by inducing a shift from Th1-type inflammatory response to an anti-inflammatory Th2-type response and this was associated with a reduction in morbidity and mortality." "This article has provided evidence to support the hypothesis that moderate intensity exercise reduces inflammation and improves the immune response to respiratory viral infections. We hypothesize that acute and chronic moderate exercise induces a level of stress hormones that down-regulates excessive inflammation within the respiratory tract and aids in activating innate anti-viral immunity shifting the immune response towards a Th2 profile (Fig. 4), thereby balancing the Th1/Th2 responses to prevent an excessive Th1 immune reaction to these pathogens"
