25.01.2022 CHRISTMAS/NEW YEARS TRADING HOURS Hello all! After a busy few months of getting Summit up and running, it’s time for a little break over the festive season. Please see above for clinic hours over the next 2 weeks! ... Spots are limited at this stage, so please email/call the clinic if you require an appointment and we will do our best to accommodate you!

24.01.2022 Why train like an athlete? - some words of wisdom from our own EP Mat Goodwin! Who comes to mind when you think of an athlete? Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Dustin Martin, Usain Bolt? What do they all have in common?... The question forming this topic should really be changed into a statement: We should all train like athletes. Why? Think about it, what does an athlete need to be able to do? Move, and move well. This means they should be able to walk/run, jump, maintain their balance and lift objects. Of course, within these parameters is the specific movements of their sport. However, these aspects of movement also apply to us! We also need to be able to walk (perhaps also run and jump) and lift things! Whether we play sport or just want to keep fit and maintain a healthy lifestyle, being able to move well improves the quality of our lives! Even if it’s simply lifting shopping bags or a child, going for walk or run with a friend; we should be able to do these things well without any risk of injury or hurting ourselves. Not to mention all the physiological and psychological benefits associated with exercise! If you think you’d like learn more about training this way, get in contact with the team at Summit Health Performance Centre on 5144 2552 or email us at [email protected] #trainlikeanathlete #strength #conditioning #healthcare

23.01.2022 Now that we know the difference between Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy - let’s look at EP as a discipline of its own An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a health professional who specialises in exercise for populations of all ages with chronic conditions. These conditions can range from pulmonary, cardiac, musculoskeletal, neurological, oncological and metabolic backgrounds. AEP’s provide exercise prescription and delivery, as well as education on the impa...ct that exercise can have on improving chronic conditions. AEP’s also have training in motivational interviewing in order to assist people in helping to break down barriers that may be preventing them from participating in exercise. An AEP will generally also have an undergraduate degree in exercise science, meaning they also have a broad knowledge in strength and conditioning training for athletes. #exercisephysiologist

21.01.2022 So, you may have noticed we have a gym space..... but what do we use it for?? We use this space for a number of treatment options here at Summit, but today we will touch on Strength & Conditioning training What is Strength and Conditioning training?... Do you have a physical event coming up this year or next? Think you may need to train for it? Or simply want to improve your performance to make everyday life easier? Here at Summit Health Performance Centre we offer a form of training known as strength and conditioning. But what is it? How does it differ from the typical form of personal training? Strength and conditioning is a form of training that incorporates science and physiology to produce better movement. That is, depending on their training goals, using these parameters within the body’s energy training systems to improve performance. Unlike typical personal training, where the common goal may be to finish an exercise session feeling exhausted, this training is tailored for the individual’s purpose. Strength and conditioning training is commonly utilised by elite athletes to improve their sporting performance, but it should also be used by us! Whether it’s training for a long hike, improve sporting performance, decrease chance of injury, or to simply be able to get out of a chair more easily; this type of training is applicable for everyone of all ages. If you think this form of training interests you or if you have any further questions, get in contact with the team at Summit Health Performance Centre on 5144 2552 or email us at [email protected] #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining #movement #exercise #movewell #healthcare

18.01.2022 Postnatal & Posture So we’ve explored prenatal, so let’s look at postnatal! A common posture seen throughout this time is a forward flexed posture, where our shoulders start to round. Outlined is the main muscle groups that may become affected. ... Do you have that pesky shoulder pain that won’t budge? Tight upper back? Neck is sore and headaches?? This could be why Muscles like our Lat Dorsi, serratus and rhomboids can refer pain up and under the shoulder, as well as sometimes down the arm - no thank you! Commonly with our rotator cuff group, pain under the blade and through to the armpit can be seen. And don’t even get me started on upper traps and headaches - geeez. Question! Where else may this posture start to appear? - if you said desk workers and those involved with technology (tech neck), than you were correct! You can benefit from this week too Follow along with us this week to see how you can stand tall #posture #postnatal #techneck

08.01.2022 So what is Exercise Physiology? And how does it differ from Physiotherapy? Another great question! Within their scope of practices, there are many aspects which overlap between a Physiotherapist and an Exercise Physiologist. Both work with populations with chronic conditions to help improve their quality of life through movement. A major difference between the two health professions is how they treat their clients. A Physiotherapist typically use a hands-on approach, usin...g aspects such as massage, palpation or manipulation, or dry needling to treat clients. Conversely, an Exercise Physiologist does not usually provide any hands-on therapy, instead purely using exercise as a means of treatment; or medicine. Another difference may also be found in their stage of rehabilitation treatment. Although not always the case, a Physiotherapist typically provides rehabilitation for the acute side of an injury, for example, providing rehabilitation to a stage where a person is back on their feet. From there, an Exercise Physiologist specialises in providing long term rehabilitation and exercise advice so that an individual can return to their previous function to make all physical aspects of their life easier! Additionally, the two professions also differ slightly in their study qualifications. Physiotherapists specialise in injury rehabilitation, whereas an Exercise Physiologist comes from a background in Exercise Science, meaning while they provide treatment for a range of chronic conditions, they also have a broad knowledge in Strength and Conditioning training If you have anymore questions please contact us at the clinic #exercisephysiology #exercisemedicine

06.01.2022 Postnatal upper back mobility & release - (also relevant to desk workers) During these times, if you are spending a lot of time in a flexed position, it’s time to spend some time in gentle extension. 1. Foam Roller Thoracic Extension: laying with knees bent up, slowly and gently lay back with foam roller under thoracic spine. Relax over the roller, extend arms out to side if this feels comfortable. Wiggling the foam roller around to different levels of the thoracic spine t...o gain movement and stretch through different segments. 2. Table-Top: holding onto a stable surface (chair, bench, desk), start to walk the feet back until you are in a table top position. From here, grip hands slightly and pull back through the arms, whilst letting the chest drop towards the floor. Bend knees if stretch is too much load for hamstrings. Practice deep breaths and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat if needed. 3. Side lying Thoracic Rotation: laying on your side, with legs bent up. Place something under your head if needed. Extend arms and stack on top of one another. As you peel the top arm away, start to turn the head. Open arm and chest all the way to the opposite side. Hold for a few seconds. To return, circle your arm above head with gaze to return to original position. Repeat 5 times each side. Get the body moving and help alleviate your own aches and pains, right in the comfort of your own home #mobility #thoracic

04.01.2022 Postnatal/desk posture exercises Upper back/Thoracic strengthening: There are 3 stages of strengthening the upper back: Activation, isolation, integration It’s helpful to determine where you are at when choosing the appropriate exercise below. ... 1: Activation Exercise = Wall Extension - Place feet a comfortable distance away from the wall and lean back against it. Pull your ribs down and tummy in as you tuck your chin down and pull head back toward the wall. Then gently push arms back into the wall, squeezing shoulder blades together and down, away from your ears. You can hold here for 1-2 minutes. 2: Isolation Exercise 1 = Banded Scapular Reset - Standing tall in same position as previous exercise, tension the band with your arms down to your side. Squeeze shoulder blades/scapular together and hold for up to 60secs. Exercise 2 = Banded W - Stand tall, keep elbows close to your side and tension band by pulling hands apart and hold again for up to 60secs focusing on shoulders blades down and together. 3: Integration Exercise = Bent over row - one of many rowing options which loads most of the upper back muscles. Maintains a neutral spine, pull the bar toward your lower ribs focusing on pulling your shoulders and shoulder blades behind you. Move the bar slowly down and up with a load that challenges you for 12-15 reps. Mobility and strength work hand in hand (Always make sure you consult a health professional before beginning any strenuous exercise) #strength #thoracic #postnatal #deskwork
