24.01.2022 With gyms across the country beginning their return to normality, you might find yourself with an unwelcome injury if you go too hard, too early. Tim Dettmann, APAM, says that your muscles are likely to have shrunk over the past few months, and will consequently be more susceptible to injury. https://bit.ly/3cREoPL

20.01.2022 Do you need new shoes for all the walking and running you're doing at the moment? Head on down to Shoe Guru today!

20.01.2022 Yesterday was World Osteoporosis Day. It's estimated that 924,000 Australians have Osteoporosis, about 3.8% of the population. Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones become fragile, weak and brittle, leading to a high risk of fractures from minor bumps or accidents.... It's a largely a preventable disease and EXERCISE is proven to help prevent, treat and manage Osteoporosis. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Osteoporosis, it's important to be guided in exercises that help build bone strength and reduce risk of fracture. Physiotherapists are highly qualified exercise prescription specialists, who can guide you in safe and effective ways to exercise to improve your bone density and balance and reduce your risk of a fall or an osteoporotic fracture.

19.01.2022 The mental health discussion is more important than it has ever been with everything going on around us in today's society. How do physiotherapists best take care of their own and their patients' mental health? APA Mental Health Group leaders from across Australia have come together and identified five key facts that could help you look after your mental health in times of stress and uncertainty....

19.01.2022 Chalkboard inspo for your Tuesday morning.

18.01.2022 Ready to get back to the gym post-iso? Be sure to follow these tips from physios around Australia to make your return without injury as smooth as possible. Warm-up and cool-down properly using stretching, foam-rolling and icing techniques to aid in your recovery. Drop your pre-iso weight by 20-30% and gradually increase the weight over four-eight weeks depending on your age and fitness level. Get your form checked by a professional and ensure you are controlled and slow... in your repetitions. Don't go too hard, too early! Build up to your pre-iso levels as your muscles and tendons will have likely shrunk, making you more susceptible to injury. Check in with your local physio to avoid injury and manage your return to full capacity. For more recommendations from APA Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist Julie Campbell, MACP, and Brooke Patterson, APAM, on returning to the gym, head to https://ab.co/2XPA3Z6 #StayFitSaturday #gym #choosephysio #weekendworkout St Ives Physiotherapy and Sports Therapy Centre St Ives Shopping Village Body Shape Gordon #sportsphysio

06.01.2022 National Reconciliation Week 2020 Do you know about Aboriginal Heritage in the Ku-ring-gai area? The Darramuragal or Darug people have been in this area for thousands of years, long before the arrival of European settlers.... They lived from Newcastle down to Sydney, mostly along the foreshores of the harbour. They fished and hunted in the waters and harvested food from the surrounding bushland. Spending much of their time developing a rich and complex culture, this included a distinctive language, customs, spirituality and law - the heart of which was their connection to the land. For more information check out this page on the Ku-ring-gai Council's website: http://www.kmc.nsw.gov.au//History_her/Aboriginal_heritage #NRW2020 #reconciliation #shareourpride St Ives Shopping Village Ku-ring-gai Council St Ives Physiotherapy and Sports Therapy Centre
