25.01.2022 We’re super excited to be one of the sponsors of the St Thomas' Art & Craft Show this weekend! Have a look at all the fun attractions for the whole fam! 27-28th October, Horsley Avenue Willoughby ... https://www.stthomas-artcraftshow.com.au/

25.01.2022 Awesome exercise by physios in the U.S. to prevent ankle and knee injuries in NBA players See how many distractions you can cope with!

24.01.2022 A sentiment we can all relate to, especially on a rainy Monday morning

24.01.2022 Happy New Year! We hope you had an enjoyable holiday period. Now is the perfect time to get on top of those niggling injuries before the sporting season starts back up for the year . Feel free to book online or give us a call today on 9958 7935.

23.01.2022 Have you done your calf raises this week? Calf strength is important for most sports, particularly for running. We know that one of your calf muscles (your soleus) produces 6.5-8x your body weight in force every single step when running, and needs to be up to the task! We also know that your calf push-off strength decreases by 1% per year as you age.... Time to fight back! Get started with both straight-knee and bent-knee calf raises today!

23.01.2022 With two weeks left till Christmas we would like to wish all of our patients a very happy holiday season! Our open hours are outlined below: Christmas Day & Boxing Day - closed Wed 27 Dec - Fri 29 Dec - open Sat 30 Dec - Sat 6 Jan - closed... We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable break. We shall see you all in the New Year from Monday 8 January, 2018!

22.01.2022 If you're heading to the snow this year, get started with some specific exercises before the ski season is really underway. http://sprintphysio.co.uk//s/prepare-to-ski-exercises.html

22.01.2022 We’re looking for our next physio to join the team!

19.01.2022 Now introducing Real Time Ultrasound at our clinic, an imaging technique which allows visual feedback of deep core muscle contractions! This machine allows accurate assessment and helps in creating a targeted exercise program to strengthen the inner core. Real time ultrasound is useful for conditions like low back pain, pelvic pain, hip pain, or women’s health issues. If you require an assessment or are interested in learning more about your core strength give us a call on 9958 7935 or book online at wssphysio.com.au. Check out how real time ultrasound helped fix a teenagers slumped posture at the following link: http://www.heraldsun.com.au//5ebb4ae0ea78ea54fa2c4bfc5e7ab

19.01.2022 A lot of you have heard of the drinking bird exercise. It’s the perfect exercise and it challenges everything from ankle stability to hamstrings, glutes and core. BUT have you tried the throwing bird (AKA serving bird)? This variation is tailored to our overhead throwing athletes with sore shoulders. We often see tennis players , cricketers, softballers or baseballers, whose shoulder pain can be explained by weakness in their opposite standing leg. Give this exercise a go at home. Pick a light weight, because you’ll rarely be throwing more than 500grams at a time, and slowly build up the speed to a more explosive throw. If you don’t have dumbbells, a tennis racquet, cricket ball, or full water bottle works great!

18.01.2022 Great exercise for throwing/overhead athletes with shoulder pain towards the end of their rehab! https://twitter.com/Shoulder_PT/status/972092258857160705

18.01.2022 Hardest pilates class everrrrr Happy Halloween everyone!

17.01.2022 We are looking for a friendly and reliable receptionist for our physio practice on Mondays and Thursdays. If you are interested or know someone that is looking for a job please give us a call on 9958 7935 or send an email to [email protected] Prior experience would be highly valued but full training will be provided. Would ideally suit a uni student or parent looking for local part time work.

16.01.2022 An interesting read on the '10 000 steps a day' phenomenon. http://www.abc.net.au//2/10000-steps-is-it-enough/8532768

12.01.2022 An impressive example of strength and control!

12.01.2022 Reducing Football Injuries The FIFA 11+ warm-up programme has been shown to reduce injuries by up to 39%. More specifically, it has been shown to reduce injurie...s in the four most commonly injured regions in footballers: hamstrings, hip/groin, knee and ankle injury by 60%, 41%, 48% and 32%, respectively. As a result, this form of warm-up routine should replace historical, uneducated and/or thoughtless routines such as running laps around the field, which are to often seen in today's practice. In response to critics, although this routine is a "cookie cutter" programme and may not target the specific needs of each individual, it does however provide a easy-to-implement programme for coaches to administer who don't have the access (e.g. budget) to performance specialists. If you're a football coach and would like to know more about this programme and how to implement it, then visit the links below. TAG a COACH who needs to watch and read this. http://f-marc.com/11plus/home/ http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/51/7/562

10.01.2022 Last week David got the opportunity to train with Mel from Studio 84 Health and Fitness. If you’re looking for an amazing workout suited to your goals then give them a call- it’s always a good time to start exercising!

07.01.2022 "The best type of exercise is the type you'll actually do." Great work by local and international researchers on the effects of exercise on mental health! http://www.abc.net.au//exercise-can-prevent-depres/9716886

07.01.2022 Coming into the finals for winter sports, make sure you're doing everything you can to prevent a season ending injury. Prevention programs are becoming more important as we see the rates of ACL injuries climb each year, regardless of age. If you've had an ACL injury in the past, you can also see how an ongoing program can be vital! Give us a call on 9958 7935 or book online at wssphysio.com.au to have an assessment and get started on a program before the season ends!

07.01.2022 A timely reminder after the Christmas break to gradually increase your exercise load and avoid the dreaded tendon pain!
