19.01.2022 Windy Hill Physiotherapy is partnering with Latrobe university to lead GLA:D (Good Life with Arthritis), an education and exercise program for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common lifestyle diseases in individuals 65 years and older and can also effect individuals as young as 30. Despite the usual focus on surgery for treatment in Australia, GLA:D offers a safer and easier alternative. Not only can you improve joint stability in group training sessions, GLA:D helps you apply the exercise to everyday activities by strengthening and correcting daily movement patterns and in turn preventing symptom progression and ultimately reducing pain. To find out more about GLA:D and how it can help you call our friendly reception staff on 9375 4000 or visit the GLA:D website, https://gladaustralia.com.au/.

11.01.2022 We had heaps of fun going through the Netball Australia knee program with Essendon Thunder. It helps to enhance movement and prevent injury.

09.01.2022 Unfortunately one of the downsides of sport is injury. At Windy Hill Physio we recognise the importance of injury prevention programs in not only reducing the risk of injury but maximising performance. The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is becoming increasingly common and is often devastating for athletes. Such injuries often occur due to sudden changes in direction or landing from a jump. This means the implementation of training that improves the mechanics ...of landing, take off and change of direction is essential in minimising the risk of ACL injuries. Netball Australia has developed a Knee program, which is an on court warm up designed to enhance movement efficiency and prevent knee injuries. No matter if you are the coach of your child’s netball team, a high performance coach or parent the program is designed to keep your players on court for longer and to maximise their efficiency when playing. https://knee.netball.com.au/ The AFL and AFLW have teamed up with experts in coaching and sports medicine to create two injury prevention programs. Both FootyFirst and Prep to Play support athletes of all levels with the aim to improve skills, strength, athletic performance and ultimately reduce injury. AFL Footy First-http://www.aflcommunityclub.com.au/index.php?id=906 AFLW Prep to Play- https://coach.afl/prep-play-skills Our physiotherapists are accredited providers of the Netball Australia Knee program and experienced with injury prevention programs at the elite and community level.

06.01.2022 In this really confusing and scary time we just wanted to inform you that the Windy Hill Physiotherapy clinic is still open and we are more than happy to see you and continue your physiotherapy care. Your health and safety is of optimal importance, therefore we have increased our already high hygiene protocols at the clinic. There are currently hand sanitisers in every room and at the reception desk, alcohol wipes in every room that are being used to clean equipment between ...patients or classes. This includes wiping down massage beds, gym and pilates equipment and any other resources we may use. In addition we are screening our patients before they attend the clinic to minimise the chance of virus exposure to any personnel, staff or clients. We are also asking you to help us out by washing your hands before and after visiting the clinic to help protect other patients and prevent the spread of germs. This is asked of both clients and those accompanying them. In addition if you are experiencing any symptoms such as a cough, fever or shortness of breath please notify us and seek clearance from a doctor. Remember to stay calm and wash your hands. We look forward to seeing you in the clinic soon :) If you want more detailed information on the virus, below is a link to the World Health Organisation information page. https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus
