25.01.2022 Disc injury & phases of healing - Part 1 An understanding of how exercise influences biological tissues can enhance a clinician's exercise prescription through staging of healing. During phase 1 the objective is protect and eliminate excessive mechanical stresses on the spinal segment in order to prevent further exacerbation and provide a safe healing environment. ... Perhaps the cornerstone intervention to the therapeutic treatment of disc injury is the use of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), commonly known as directional preference, or the McKenzie Method.
24.01.2022 Disc injury & phases of healing - Phase 2 Another example of an exercise to help stimulate mechanotransduction. An isometric contraction or anti-movement abdominal brace to stabilise the spine. The unilateral farmers walk targets anti-lateral flexion and provides a nice stimulus to a painful low back
20.01.2022 Achilles tendinopathy truths 1. Tendons HATE to be stretched 2. Tendons HATE to be foam rolled 3. Tendons HATE spiky balls... 4. Tendons HATE to be taped 5. Tendons HATE to be massaged That’s because pathological or irritated tendons don’t like compression. So don’t do these silly things for your tendon pain Instead... Apply progressive load. This exercise is an isometric contraction for a reactive insertional Achilles tendinopathy.
20.01.2022 Neck and arm pain Cervical radiculopathy is a compression of a nerve as it exits the neck, often called a pinched nerve. Symptoms include arm pain, numbness, burning, pins and needles, diminished reflex and weakness in the arm or hand. A common test that can be applied is Spurling’s test that attempts to provocate the compressed nerve. The test can involve cervical extension combined with ipsilateral rotation and when consistent with patient history, practitioners should us...e a combination of Spurling’s, axial traction, and an Arm Squeeze test to increase likelihood of a cervical radiculopathy. Ref: Thoomes E, et al. Value of physical tests in diagnosing cervical radiculopathy: a systematic review. The Spine Journal 2018; 18, 179-189.

19.01.2022 3 weeks post high grade ankle sprain injury - ATFL avulsion to be precise. Just add load.
15.01.2022 Disc injury & phases of healing - Phase 2 During the early stages of the repair phase we include anti-movement trunk (abdominal) exercises. The isometric contraction or abdominal brace reinforces the skill of utilising the entire abdominal wall (TA and obliques) to stabilise the spine.... It also teaches the spine and discs to absorb force and appreciate pain-free load. We particularly target anti-rotation
10.01.2022 We are expanding and looking for a great physiotherapist to join our team! We believe in high quality care, a consistent approach and get pretty obsessed with research supported interventions. So no stretching, no foam rolling, no spiky balls and no gimmicky BS! Getting results for our patients and enjoying life away from work is what the great focus is on. Our next physiotherapist will:... Appreciate what high quality care means to us. Evidence-based. Likes research supported interventions and uses them well. Looking for long-term career building opportunities. Wants a flexible working week - if you like to gym at 9am and start work at 12pm or prefer early mornings to eat dinner with the kids then we can find a way! Be happy to work hard if needed and enter a bonus scheme after 6 months. The position is part-time/casual and between 20-30 hours per week, an additional opportunity to work alongside GP's is also on offer. A huge opportunity for growth to full time and extra earning potential. We are a team of passionate and hard-working fellas (at the moment) who work really hard to be the best at what we do while having a life balance that is important to us. For me (Toby) this means taking Friday's off to be with my young family (soon to be 3 kiddies under 2), to ride my bike , drink red wine and restore an old school in Bathurst All we need is someone else who wants to be brilliant, hard working and enjoys life away from work. If this sounds like you, send your expression of interest to [email protected]
08.01.2022 Frog leg view for hip pain If you’ve been properly assessed at having an intra-articular issue causing hip pain (this means inside the hip joint), then a natural progression to help understand the origin might be with a x-ray of the hip to assess for things like: joint space... flattening of ball or socket (dysplasia) increased depth of acetabulum CAM or pincer type impingement (FAI) There are a set of specific views and positions that the hip can be placed in to get a more accurate look at these structures - one being the frog view to assess for CAM or pincer type bony growths. Our physiotherapists ask for a number of specific views so nothing is missed Another example of high quality care.
05.01.2022 Leg Length Discrepancy It can be found in approximately 70% to 90% of the population - making it more normal then abnormal right? And generally it’s not due to trauma to the epiphyseal endplate prior to skeletal maturity or other structural nightmares.... Most often it’s functional, such as from: Shortening of soft tissues Joint stiffness or immobility Ligamentous laxity Muscular weakness A good place we start is with hip joint motion (especially rotation) and quadratus lumborus endurance (muscle on the side of the lower back). Simples.
01.01.2022 High load for plantar heel pain Plantar fasciopathy, characterised by plantar heel pain, affects one in ten in a lifetime. Heavy-slow resistance training is an emerging treatment, but it often takes considerable time before the effect starts to manifest. Combining heavy-slow resistance with a corticosteroid injection (known for its short-term pain relief) could potentially improve outcomes in both short and long term.... A heel or calf raise with toes in extension is a way of increasing load across the plantar fascia to encourage greater gains in this tissue.
