24.01.2022 Quads are Queens Quadriceps Femoris is the most voluminous muscle of the human body! It functions as a hip flexor and a knee extensor consisting of four individual muscles: Rectus femoris... Vastus lateralis Vastus medialis Vastus intermedius Quads that are strong and efficient are associated with prevention of knee injuries and returning to sports / performing without the risk of re-injury Why is quad strength important for Performance Power for higher jumps in dance Neuromuscular control when landing from jumps, tricks and aerial apparatus Knee stability when wearing platform heels in pole Higher développé with correct muscle recruitment Controlled transitional movements: For Example Holding an Iron X - Reduce that micro bend with straddles / inverts So how can you efficiently target your quads? Open-chain exercises! Open-chain exercises such as an assisted développé on the barre or a leg extension will isolate the quadriceps and there will be no where to hide or cheat by recruiting other muscles to help out with the movement Open VERSUS Closed chain exercises; when the distal aspect of the extremity moves freely (open chain) such as a leg extension versus when the distal aspect of the extremity is fixed (closed chain) such as a squat Example: post ACL reconstruction your quads actually go to sleep due to neurological and physiological changes. Open chain exercises are safe and will help wake up the muscle! Therefore, optimizing muscle regeneration and motor recruitment Extra Bonus = building up quad strength correctly as well as training flexibility of the hamstrings will not make your legs bulky!

15.01.2022 4 Tips to ensure adequate Shoulder Health . 1. Do not forget about your shoulder blade! It needs to be trained in different positions, not just pinned down and back. Believe it or not, your scapulae are highly mobile, so training them dynamically is key to a happy functional shoulder . 2. Do you have full overhead flexion ? And is it symmetrical ? Lift up both your arms and how far do they go back? You want to ensure those handstands are even and your shrugs from the tr...apeze bar are efficiently loading your shoulder girdle and thorax . 3. Ensure your rotator cuff is strong , not just as an external rotator in neutral but also in the other degrees of freedom. The stabilisation role of the cuff is vital, it’s a humeral head compressor and is a clear winner for your shoulders feeling strong particularly in positions of instability. . 4. Do not ignore the niggles. Shoulders are clever and complex and let you know when something is wrong. Discomfort during movement, tricks or daily activities is a clear indicator that a clinical review is required to ensure everything is moving correctly . Happy shoulder training . #rawelementphysio #shoulderhealth #tipsandtricks #circusphysio #dancephysio See more

13.01.2022 Understanding Turnout 5 Factors that affect Turnout 1. Angle of femoral anteversion... 2. Orientation of the acetabulum 3. Shape of the femoral neck 4. Elasticity of iliofemoral or Y ligament 5. Flexibility and strength of the muscle-tendon unit Is Turnout all from my hips? The simple answer is No 65% = Outward rotation of the hip 20-30% = The ankle Remaining % = Tibia and knee joint Common oversights It was thought that turnout was only based on how much external rotation there is at the hip joint. It in fact also includes contribution from the foot and tibial torsion Foot placement does not demonstrate how much passive turnout a dancer has Dancers may compensate alignment at the spine, hip, knees, ankles, and feet to achieve a greater turnout than is available at the hip alone Common compensations 1) forcing turnout with excessive pronation of the foot and 2) tipping the pelvis forward in anterior tilt Compensatory patterns of turnout may increase the risk of experiencing more than one injury, especially overuse injuries What to do about it Raw Element Physiotherapy offers functional dance screenings, flexibility training programs and physiotherapy specific for dancers Understanding active VS passive turnout. 1) passive turnout is the body’s true turnout as it is assisted movement 2) active turnout is dependent on the dancer’s strength and ability to recruit the right muscles efficiently to take the joint to its end of range . Key message = get strong, don’t force Initially, practise your plie’s at the barre as it provides more proprioceptive information, helping you to control balance and learn efficient muscle recruitment for correct motor control / movement patterns To advance, practice your plies without the barre to challenge your balance control with different movement patterns in space. Are you wanting to achieve optimal turnout that is specific to your body without the risk of injury? Curious to be screened by a qualified health professional?

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

06.01.2022 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

03.01.2022 Cervicogenic Headache A cerviogenic headache is one that originates from the cervical spine and there are many contributing factors that can set one off.

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.

01.01.2022 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 .
