ReAct Physiotherapy

12/08/2021

Notice of upcoming close of business.

Hi clients, friends and family of ReAct Physiotherapy. As many of you have heard ReAct will be closing up by the end of August. It has been a difficult decision to make, but ultimately Brian and myself are unfortunately unable to continue the many roles we undertake at ReAct whilst working multiple jobs and both with young families.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to pass on many heartfelt thanks to all those who have supported us over the years! Please get in touch if you have anything we can help you with during this transition period.

Many thanks and all the best, Jane and Brian from ReAct Physiotherapy

Covid-19 Update - Yes, we are still open!
Our physio Jane currently has appointments available on Monday and Thursday evenings, and Saturday mornings.
To ensure the safety of both clients and staff (and our families and friends) React Physiotherapy has made a few changes in the way we operate:
1. We are no longer using towels or pillows in our treatments. Please feel free to bring your own if you feel you need them.
2. We will provide hand sanitizer on entry and exit for all clients.
3. Online bookings will be closed earlier in the day. However, please call if you would like an appointment at short notice.
4. And of course, please do not come into the clinic if you are experiencing any cold or flu symptoms, have recently travelled interstate or overseas (within the past 14 days), have come into contact with a known case of Covid-19 within the past 14 days, or have tested positive for Covid-19 yourself.

Thanks everyone! Stay safe and healthy and we hope you all have a very happy Easter! 🤗

**Hi all, Jane from ReAct Physiotherapy here 😊 A lot of you know that my husband Mat and myself are excitedly awaiting the arrival of our second baby girl mid-November, and as such this will be my last week of work before taking a few months off for maternity leave. There are still a couple of appointments left for this week if anyone needs, but for all I don't see, I look forward to seeing you next year and in the meantime know that Brian will take great care of you all! I expect to be returning around May 2019 but will keep you all posted closer to the date! Have a safe and happy end of 2018 everyone!**

Excellent post regarding ACL injury prevention. Drop in to see us for a structured exercise program you can do at home :)

Preventing major knee injuries such as ACL injuries should be a priority in many sports, especially those characterised by jumping, pivoting and hard cutting movements.

Below is a short summary of some research related to ACL injury prevention. They are mostly handball and football (soccer) specific, but likely relevant to other level 1 (jumping, pivoting and hard cutting) sports.

In a study by Myklebust et al, a five-phase neuromuscular training programme was tried out among approximately 1,000 female players in the top three divisions in Norwegian handball. The intervention resulted in a substantial reduction in the risk of ACL injuries.

Myklebust G, Engebretsen L, Braekken IH, Skjolberg A, Olsen OE, Bahr R. Prevention of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in female team handball players: a prospective intervention study over three seasons. Clin J Sport Med 2003; 13:71-78.

In the study by Petersen et al, 10 female handball teams (134 players) took part in a prevention programme to prevent ankle and ACL injuries. They achieved a non-significant reduction of ACL injuries with 5 vs 1 ACL injuries in the control group compared to the intervention group.

Petersen W, Braun C, Bock W, Schmidt K, Weimann A, Drescher W et al. A controlled prospective case control study of a prevention training program in female team handball players: the German experience. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2005; 125:614-621.

A high quality study design was used in the first randomised controlled trial in handball by Olsen et al among youth female and male players. It gave a highly significant reduction (50%) in the rate of acute lower extremity injuries among players in the intervention group.

Olsen OE, Myklebust G, Engebretsen L, Holme I, Bahr R. Exercises to prevent lower limb injuries in youth sports: cluster randomised controlled trial. BMJ 2005; 330:449.

The FIFA 11+ program decreased the overall incidence rate of ACL injury by 77% in competitive collegiate male soccer players.

Neuromuscular training programmes should be included in the warm-up routine to reduce major knee injuries.
