25.01.2022 One of the all time great people. Thanks for everything Ginna

24.01.2022 Overuse in Junior Athletes- @athleteorigin provides a great explanation about load management: One of the main concerns with parents is that their child is already doing a lot of sport. . Ive had some kids come in with extremely sore knees/shins/backs, which have stemmed from too much sport, leading to overuse injuries from their bodies no longer being able to tolerate the demand. Its always important to consider why your child is getting injured, or constantly sore, in ad...dition to how you can assist in stopping it. . The More is better approach is the belief that adding more sport, or different sports, will strengthen and stop a childs injury. However, a planned exercise program is the best way to raise the threshold of what your child can tolerate in sports. Structured strength and conditioning for nearly all juniors provides an increased level of strength and coordination to their sport and reduces injury rates. See more

22.01.2022 Compex Muscle Stimulator The Compex uses electrical muscle stimulation to facilitate muscular contractions- a great rehab tool post surgery to maintain muscle strength and reduce detraining effects.

18.01.2022 How much does seat height matter? Seat height can influence the activation of your stabilising muscles during cycling. As you can see in the photo, our patient Reeven has his seat height set too high which creates an excessive flexion (or curve) in his lower back. Bending itself is not an issue, but sustained and repetitive bending without adequate strength can be. This can also lead to muscle imbalances. Make sure that you are fitted by a reliable bike fit specialist to prevent cycling injuries and optimise your power on the bike. Call us on 0481 059 400 or click the link in our bio to book a bikefit with our Bikefit Specialist, Leon

17.01.2022 With Round 1 of the WAFL season starting this weekend, we will be introducing another new recovery device, the Normatec Recovery System. It is shown that dynamic compression can decrease nerve sensitivity, therefore reducing pain. The Normatec uses dynamic compression technology to mimic the muscle pump in the legs which promotes fluid circulation. It is a great post-game recovery tool for any player with muscle soreness. Book into our Injury Clinic this Sunday and see the benefits for yourself

16.01.2022 Pain is one of the most common reasons that people come to physiotherapy. It is perceived differently by every individual, and may have an impact on function or daily life. The six core concepts of pain explain some of the science behind why and how we feel pain. As physiotherapists, our role is to help educate you about your pain and treat the cause from a whole person perspective, along with the latest scientific evidence and research to help you get back to your goals.

15.01.2022 Part 1/3 of our recovery device series, where we talk about our new devices that you can book in to use throughout the week or during our Sunday Injury Clinic This is the Gameready unit, used in many medical and professional sporting areas. The Gameready utilises active cold and intermittent compression technology which is shown to help decrease pain by increasing blood flow to targeted areas, without increasing edema (swelling). It can be used for post-operative rehabilitation or as a recovery tool

13.01.2022 ACL INJURY + FATIGUE This study looked at soccer players who had just completed a 1 hour training session. Players who had an ACL reconstruction showed a higher reduction in movement quality compared to non-ACL injured players. Movement quality was assessed using video analysis of a double leg counter jump, and the LESS (landing error score system) was used. ... ACL injury or not, injury prevention plays an important role in keeping you doing the activities you love. By understanding the injury profile of all sports our Physiotherapists are able to identify common injuries and implement strategies to prevent their occurrence.
