21.01.2022 EXERCISE OF THE WEEK! Do you want to improve your core, shoulder, and upper back strength? This week's exercise is the Bird Dog Row!... This is a great exercise for improving your core stability and upper back strength while focusing on an anti-rotational movement. To complete this exercise: 1. Kneel with knees hip-width apart and hands about shoulder-width apart on a box or on the ground. 2. Set your spine into a neutral position with a gentle contraction of the core. 3. Slowly extend one leg out straight behind and perform a single arm row with the opposite arm. 4. Maintain a neutral spine throughout* while performing a squeeze between your shoulder blade with each row. *Do not allow your body to rotate while performing this exercise.

21.01.2022 ‘Tis the season Christmas can be a very busy, stressful time of year. But including regular physical activity can significantly improve your ability to cope with the stress. Structured exercise like strength training at the gym or going for a moderate intensity walk are ideal, but don’t neglect the benefits of physical activity that include the family. This could be going to the beach for the day, taking the kids to the park, a game of cricket on Christmas Day, helping y...our kids ride their new bikes, and so much more!

20.01.2022 ARTICLE OF THE WEEK! This week’s article of the week is titled ‘The evidence of benefits of exercise training in interstitial lung disease: a randomised control...led trial Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a debilitating group of chronic lung conditions. ILD can often be associated with significant shortness of breath, fatigue, reduced exercise capacity and a reduction in health-related quality of life. Previously there have been some questions surrounding the efficacy of exercise training in individuals with ILD. Researchers in this study wanted to establish the impact of exercise training in patients with ILDs. They found significant improvements in both 6 Minute Walk Distance and health-related quality of life following 8 weeks of supervised exercise training.

12.01.2022 ARTICLE OF THE WEEK - FROM OUR TOOWOOMBA CLINIC! This week's Article of the Week was titled Skeletal Muscle Power: A Critical Determinant of Physical Functioning in Older Adults Muscle power declines earlier and more steeply with aging than compared to muscle strength. More recently, peak muscle power has also come out as an important predictor of functional limitations in older adults. Power is the amount of force that can be produced in the quickest amount of time. ... This article was a review of the current literature. Overall, it summed up that training for power in older adults, whether it is a high or low loads, showed modest to significant improvements in walking speed, chair stand time, stair climbing, and balance. So, whether it be a ball slam or even just the intent to stand up as quickly as possible, this could lead to more positive outcomes in function. Ask your Accredited Exercise Physiologist if power training might be right for you!

03.01.2022 Looking to improve upper body posture and back tightness? This week’s exercise of the week is a TRX thoracic rotation. This exercise is a great way of opening up your thoracic spine, which can assit with posture, overhead mobility and back pain. This can be done with a TRX or can be done with normal power bands. ... To do this exercise you simply do the following; 1. Raise your arms to shoulder height, push your bottom out and hip hinge until your back is at a 45 degree angle. You want to keep your back neutral and you should feel a stretch in your lats. 2. Bring one arm out to the side until you feel a squeeze in your shoulder blades. Ensure your head follows through the movement and that you don’t twist at the torso 3. Bring the arm back to starting position and alternate to the other arm. Progressions of this exercise include using a heavy resistance band but if this exercise is too difficult, a kneeling thoracic rotation is suitable as it takes out the hip hinge segment of this exercise. As always, check with your exercise physiologist before attempting this exercise.
