25.01.2022 People always ask why we don’t share their posts to our story? . Unfortunately, as a healthcare professional, physios aren’t allowed to share testimonials . Our code of conduct means that we CANNOT have someone else brag about how good we are ... . Most people don’t realise this . We can comment and like but not share . This is also why Facebook and Google reviews are BLOCKED for True Physio and you won’t find any of them for us . So, you’ll just have to take my word for it . In saying that, sharing our posts goes a long way for helping us to help other people out - just saying See more

24.01.2022 Yep, over 500% . It’s super important to let our bodies recover from training . We only benefit from the training we are actually recovering from ... . Anyone can train hard . We need time to recover from the training stimulus to actually drive us to adapt . Ref - Ristolainen et al., 2013 . Note - this study looked at endurance sports but can be applied to other sports See more

24.01.2022 Doesn’t mean that it’s normal . So in typical Kira fashion, missed women’s health week last week - thanks to Thomas for breaking his hand and needing surgery in Launceston . Anyway, let’s continue on as if it is still women’s health week ... . There are some SHOCKING statistics out there . Did you know that 84% of women in CrossFit have experienced some level of incontinence? . Read that again . ANY leakage is not normal . Read that again . It might be common... but it’s not ok . Read that again . If you have ANY leakage, get it checked out . Sooner rather than later . A small leak now can develop to more leaking later in life and it generally doesn’t get better alone . High impact and weight lifting exercise in women is too important to not to do it . Get in touch if you need help here .

22.01.2022 Ready for another handstand progression? . This week, we’re working towards getting to an actual handstand . We’ve still got that couch as a little safety net (both in front and behind us) ... . Remember, this is mainly about building confidence . Keep those arms straight . Lift one leg in the air (same as last week) . And then do little bunny hops to get that bottom leg OFF the couch . Worst case, you go too far and land on the couch . As you get more confident here, you can kick the other leg up to meet your top one - and voila, you’re in a handstand . Yes, it annoys me that my bottom foot isn’t pointed .

20.01.2022 Still me . Just a friendly reminder that your physio is also your receptionist and as such, my ability to answer the phone is quite limited . I promise I will get back to you; it just might take a few hours at times ... . Remember, our preferred method of communication is text message . Instagram or Facebook messages are easy too See more

20.01.2022 The next progression - full range . Again, control is key . Start with those arms locked out overhead and aim to keep them there ... . It’s easier to keep our shoulders at a constant angle than to try to work it out once upside down . Let us know how you go with this one .

17.01.2022 The top of the bottoms up kettlebell press . This will test your shoulder stabilising muscles even more . Mainly because the kettlebell is further away from our bodies ... . Want to make it harder again? . Press between the two positions without the kettlebell falling over . And/or try to walk while keeping the kettlebell balanced overhead . Or if you’re getting really fancy, try an overhead squat while keeping the kettlebell like this .

16.01.2022 This is my most hated message to receive . With a broken phone recently, I’ve realised I’m hopeless at setting boundaries . Please do not ask quick questions via text or direct messages ... . It is really really hard to give specific advice on injuries that we haven’t seen . If you’re a current client, your friendly physio also does not need a daily update on your pain . We will chat about it in depth in your appointment . Just because the clinic number is a mobile number does not mean that we’re accessible 24/7 . Messages will be replied to during business hours . I do not reply to text messages at 9pm on Saturday night, whether work-related or not, because nana is already in bed See more

14.01.2022 Ok, so how do we start getting used to swimming?! . Just start . Seriously. Go to the pool ... . It sounds so simple and it really is . If we want to get better at something, the answer is to do it more . As we’ve said before, to a point but still - getting in the pool is the easiest way to start getting better at swimming . Start once a week with a short session - think 20 minutes; swimming is hard . If you’re not confident in the pool at all - start by simply putting your face in the water and walking in the shallow end . OR grab a kickboard and kick - get the confidence in the water before having your face under all the time . How do you build confidence in the water? .

13.01.2022 . There are 3 reasons why people train . 1. Performance - aka to be the best in their sport ... . 2. Health - aka to be able to do things regularly such as play with grandkids, not have pain, etc . 3. Ego - aka to lift as heavy as they possibly can to make themselves feel good . The biggest problem happens when WHY we train doesn’t align with the way we train . If we’re training for performance (or ego), we have to accept that we WILL get injured at some point in time . We cannot push our bodies to their limits of their capacity and expect to never have injuries - it’s just how it is . If we’re training for health, however, we should NOT be getting injuries - we’re trying to be healthier, right?! . If you’re getting injured regularly and you’re just trying to be a healthier version of you, it might be worth analysing how you’re training . Probably WITH your healthcare professional and trying to figure out how to train without being sore all the time... . We can’t expect things to change if we don’t change them .

13.01.2022 I see you, getting a little cocky with your handstands now . This week, we’re taking one of the parts of the couch away AND moving our backs away from the couch as well . For some people, this progression will actually be easier than the last one ... . For others, this is waaaaaay harder . Keep those arms as straight as possible . One thing we see A LOT in people trying to learn how to handstand, particularly in CrossFit, is that people kind of wind up for their handstand . Start with your hands ON THE GROUND until you get more confident . And even when you do, control is KEY . Tighter is lighter . And yes, it annoys me that my toes aren’t fully pointed .

13.01.2022 Recreation day . Thanks, Tassie, for an extra day to get outside . Extra long weekend here with an extra day off ... . All calls and messages will be returned on Wednesday . Enjoy your recreational activities See more

12.01.2022 This is true whether it’s your training . OR your rehab . If we really want to get better at something, the answer? Do it more ... . To a point obviously . We need rest days and we need time to recover BUT if you want your training or rehab to work, it’s about following the plan and not skipping sessions . And well, having a plan in the first place . Getting stronger takes a hell of a lot longer and a lot more work than anyone ever realises . It’s about consistently putting in the work, day after day . Not about one specific exercise . Something to think about on a Monday . This post is not a replacement for seeing a healthcare professional and should not be used in place of specific advice See more

11.01.2022 A friendly reminder that we don’t have a waiting room . Please wait in your car and I’ll come out for you . Remember, sometimes people walk here or get dropped off so there won’t always be another car ... . Please don’t just knock and knock and knock See more

09.01.2022 The bottoms up kettlebell press . Most people have pressed a kettlebell with it leaning back and resting on their forearm . But have you tried the opposite way - as in, balancing it upside down ... . This is a killer way to test out the stability of our shoulders . Starting with a hold with the kettlebell close to our body is an easier place to start . The reason goes back to high school physics and lever arms . The shorter the lever arm, the closer the weight is to the joint and therefore, the easier it is to keep it still . After a shoulder dislocation, this is a great exercise to retrain your proprioception - which is reteaching your joint to know where it is in space . For an ankle injury, we work balance exercises; this is a little harder for our shoulders . Start with practicing some holds with the kettlebell close to your body .

07.01.2022 Sprained your angle recently? . Probably would not suggest the Mt Amos track for retraining your proprioception . Proprioception basically refers to our joints knowing where they are in space ... . When we sprain our ligaments, we lose some of that ability as these sensors are in our ligaments . It’s a big reason why your physio should be giving you exercises to work on your balance, such as standing on one leg or walking in unstable surfaces . Rocks can be good for this butttttttttt . Believe it or not, this is one of the easier sections of the track .

04.01.2022 The kettlebell windmill . Another killer exercise to test out those shoulders . This one requires decent control, range, stability, and concentration ... . It’s a great warm up for anything involving overhead movement . LOOK at the kettlebell for the entire movement . Go slower on the way down . Start lighter than you think . This post is not a replacement for seeing a healthcare professional and should not be used in place of specific advice See more

02.01.2022 A friendly February reminder . Remember, I’m also your receptionist and I can’t, or rather won’t, answer calls when with clients . If you prefer to call, please be patient as I’ll call you back when I’m not treating - which could be a few hours ... . As always, our preferred method of communication is text message . Facebook or insta messages are great back up options See more
