17.01.2022 Congratulations David! David turned to Saunders Physiotherapy for help with a chronic groin problem and has recently won a major ballroom dancing national championship in Wollongong! After being unable to dance due to chronic groin pain, David has been working with Alex to correct strength imbalances, resolve chronic tendon pain and build up his fitness. ... This management program has involved visits to the clinic gym for rehabilitation three days a week. David said the win was "especially satisfying after a long layoff through injury". "I injured my left groin 10 months ago, and was unable to dance or even walk properly for about seven months," he said. "Miriam and I have been dancing for many years and together for about two years. We were married last year. "I previously danced with my late wife and was ranked Number 2 in Australia for five years. Our goal is to become Australian Masters Champions."

17.01.2022 Have you seen these colourful spikey balls in the clinic? They are a very handy tool to have at home! A spikey ball can be used to perform self-massage exercises and help release tight muscles.... Here is how you use them: 1. Place the spikey massage ball in the required area, slowly move your body forward, backwards and side to side allowing the spikey ball to massage the area 2. Breathe normally with your body relaxed 3. Repeat for 15-90 seconds provided it is comfortable and does not cause pain 4. You can also apply pressure to a particular tight spot for periods of up 15-60 seconds or until the muscle relaxes www.saundersphysiotherapy.com.au #saundersphsyio #sportsphysio #massage #physio #spikeyball

08.01.2022 Measuring the strength of the hamstring after an injury is important, however not all hamstring tests are the same. Strength with the muscle at a short length can return quickly, but deficits in strength in outer range can persist for much longer. This is why we use a variety of tests as a part of our hamstring rehabilitation protocols. ... We can better determine when our clients will be ready to progress to the next phase of their rehab and eventually return to sport. Check out the video to see Alex perform some of our hamstring tests! #saundersphysio #sportsphysio #hamstring #KangaTech

08.01.2022 More great research around the importance and function of the calf muscles now out of Marquette University. Authors Kristof Kipp and Hoon Kim recently published a paper concerning the relative contributions and capacities of the lower limb muscles during vertical jumping. The results may surprise you! They demonstrated that soleus, then gastrocnemius and finally quadriceps in order show highest potential to contribute to acceleration of the centre of mass during jumping. Int...erestingly the gluteus maximus muscle demonstrated relatively low contribution to jumping. Furthermore, they found that the soleus muscle operates at near maximum compared to the quadriceps operating with some reserve during vertical jumping. This further highlights that the maximal strength of the calf complex is an important variable in sports involving jumping.
