24.01.2022 Our lovely administration legend, Megan, delivers a lovely quote on this lovely Friday afternoon! Have a great weekend everyone!!

23.01.2022 I dont want you to give me exercises, I just want you to fix me! Its tough to keep compliant with the exercises our physios give us to prevent injury, especially as life gets in the way! After we see our physios in the clinic, where youll likely receive some hands on treatment, in parallel with some other fun stuff (taping, dry needling etc), usually clinically prescribed exercises are a VITAL part of your treatment! A common mistake is when patients rush into their ex...ercises when their pain flares up. The idea is to try to keep compliant with exercises when youre feeling GOOD in order to REDUCE the chance of flare up and hence having to see your physio! The key thing is to have these exercises become a regular HABIT(easier said than done I hear you say!). I could write a novel about how to turn behaviours into positive habits, but for now, start to try to LINK your physio exercises to a: 1. Time - at 8am every day, do your 20 squats. 2. Location whenever you walk into your bedroom, do your neck stretches and shoulder exercises. 3. Preceding activity when I walk in the door from work, do your calf raises. 4. Person meeting a trainer at the gym to perform a workout, organising to meet your best friend for a biweekly walk. 5. Good/healthy habit youre already doing when you walk the dogs, perform your pelvic floor exercises. You get the idea! Try these as a start and chat to your physio about ways to improve compliance and accountability with your exercises, so they become a HABIT and not a CHORE!

19.01.2022 Happy Birthday to our legendary physio's, Julian and Rob!! Have a great day guys!!

19.01.2022 So you're frustrated that your gym has closed and you don't have access to adequate weights? What seems like the next best thing? Running? I'm seeing a lot of people coming into the clinic, starting to get knee pain because they've ditched the weights to pound the pavement. Now, I'm not saying running isn't good for you, in fact there are plenty of studies out there suggesting that runners do not have a greater prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) than nonrunners (https://w...ww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28145908) so don't let that scare you off, but, what I'm saying is, it is super important to continue to parallel your strength work with your running! Check out this blog for more detailed information about how best to avoid that pesky "Runner's knee"! http://www.southperthphysio.com.au/the-biomechanics-of-runn Remember, we are open and here to treat those pesky knees so come and chat to one of our physio's today!

18.01.2022 We all know that a good ergonomic set up when working from home can help in the prevention/reduction of back and neck pain but did you know, it's more about getting moving that's the real secret. Benjie hasn't done a great job of setting up his work station but he's taking regular breaks nonetheless. Benjie says, "your best posture is your next posture!". Ask us about the best way to treat those pesky necks and backs today!!

17.01.2022 Congratulations Fay!! Fay has just completed her 200th Over 55s Strength and Conditioning class at our clinic!! GO FAY!! We are SO PROUD!!

16.01.2022 South Perth Physiotherapy is closed today and Monday but open for business first thing Tuesday morning! Have a safe weekend everyone! Lest We Forget

10.01.2022 Funky sock day at SPP!

08.01.2022 Yesterday was National Admin and Support Services Appreciation Day! Our admin team has been working tirelessly and continue to do so during this time! We would not be able to deliver such excellent services without our INCREDIBLE front desk team!! Thankyou

08.01.2022 "TREAT THE (WO)MAN, NOT THE SCAN!" When you have a scan (MRI, CT, xray or other), you may read a pile of scary words. These changes can be present in asymptomatic individuals, are often not the reason for your pain and most of the time, won't change your plan of treatment. So when you obtain your scan results... DON'T panic... DO consult your physiotherapist so they can give you a CLEAR explanation of what those long, confusing words mean! Remember, pain doesn't necessarily mean damage! Findings on a scan DO NOT correlate with an individuals pain! Anatomical abnormalities found on a scan are actually NORMAL! See more

06.01.2022 Congratulations Joan!! Joan completed her 200th Over 55s Strength and Conditioning Circuit Class today and we are SO PROUD of her. She attends Tuesday and Thursday classes consistently, every week!... GO JOAN!!

06.01.2022 Do you suffer from neck pain, which, when your neck is treated, never seems to go away? Do you have pain down your legs that seems to get worse when you stretch/strengthen your legs? You've gone for your 100th shoulder massage for your shoulder pain and symptoms are just getting worse? You are likely dealing with REFERRED PAIN!... Our job as physio's is to find THE spot(s) that your symptoms are coming from. That leg pain may be coming from nerves in your back, so it's the BACK, the underlying cause that needs to be addressed. That pesky shoulder pain may be caused by a super tight mid back and THAT is the thing that needs to be addressed. That horrible knee pain you're feeling when you run may be due to weak muscles in the leg, or may be due to muscle imbalance on that side from a shoulder injury you sustained years ago!

05.01.2022 Time to meet the real heroes behind the scenes at South Perth Physiotherapy! Meet Lucy!! Lucy joined us in the 2nd half of 2019 and has been a vital part of our admin team since. Here are a few things about Lucy you didn't know!... 1. Where is your favourite place in the world and why? Favourite place in the world is Hamilton Island as its so relaxing and there are so many fun things to do there. 2. What's one thing about you that staff and patients wouldn't know? I love singing. 3. What's your pet peeve? My pet peeve is that I get so frustrated when big groups of bike riding groups of 15 or 20 take over the lane instead of staying to the left. 4. Who inspires you? My son ALEX inspires me every day, with all his challenges, he gets up each morning and doesnt complain if he is in so much pain and brings so much laughter into our house.. I love his motto dont worry be happy !! 5. Who would you most like to swap places with for a day? Why? I would like to be a politician for one day to see if I can bring up issues and make a difference in the community.

03.01.2022 "Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the affected knee joints revealed that those who had undergone early surgery experienced a greater loss of kneecap cartilage a key cause of arthritis. These findings challenge existing beliefs that reconstruction surgery is required to prevent early arthritis in young adults following ACL injury, says Dr Culvenor." https://stories.scienceinpublic.com.au//for-knee-injurie/

03.01.2022 At South Perth Physiotherapy, did you know that your first mat pilates class is FREE!? Pilates is a mind, body, and spirit practice with benefits that include improved posture, better coordination and balance, increased lung capacity, improved concentration and focus, increased body awareness, stress management, and injury prevention. Exercises not only can build in difficulty, but every exercise can be modified to decrease or increase the level of challenge. Practicing Mat P...ilates helps build a strong, balanced body and increases flexibility. As you progress in your practice you will notice improvements in breathing, focus, stress management, and body awareness. For more information, check out our website southperthphysio.com.au or call our friendly front desk on 93686599. Note: Pilates classes don't involve cute doggies

02.01.2022 Posture tip! Whether you're sitting in your car, on the sofa or in a chair at work, try to use the chair/seat/sofa as much as possible to support your pelvis and optimise your posture. Lift up your "bum bones" and place them as FAR back as you can on the chair/seat/sofa. This will improve the support of your pelvis and hopefully lessen the amount of work your muscles have to do, hence lessening fatigue and pain. Note: no pigs or dogs were harmed in the preparation of this photo

02.01.2022 So youre stuck indoors, you have no motivation to continue that home exercise program or your gym closed down and you cant fathom lifting baked bean cans for weights when youre used to bench pressing 40kg. You gotta keep going somehow, you gotta keep your strength, flexibility and cardio up. But how? When Netflix is calling 20 metres away and that chocolate bar in the fridge seems to whisper your name, just how?? The answer: ACCOUNTABILITY. ACCOUNTABILITY. ACCOUNTABILITY....Continue reading
