THE BIG V💙🤍 Dr Steve Saunders had the privilege of travelling with the Vics, working alongside and getting to know some of the competition’s best players.
It was a fierce hit out, with both teams attacking the contest hard from the first bounce.
Proud to support athletes performing at the highest level and keeping them ready to compete when it matters most. Congrats to the players, coaches, and the AFL.

Achilles tendon pain holding you back? 🦶
Henry has been seeing a lot of patients lately with Achilles tendinopathy. Often that stubborn ache or stiffness at the back of the ankle, especially during or after activity. If running, walking, or even getting out of bed feels uncomfortable, you’re not alone. The good news? It’s very treatable with the right approach. Watch this video for guidance on exercises that can help, and come see Henry or any of our physios if you’ve been feeling similar symptoms and want to get back to moving pain-free. 💪

Dr Steve Saunders developed the EZR to deliver deeper, more precise treatment for joint and muscle pain, while also reducing strain on therapists’ hands. Trusted by elite athletes and everyday movers alike, it empowers patients to understand, assess, and treat their own bodies between sessions. When combined with exercise, the EZR can improve flexibility, reduce pain, speed up recovery, and help prevent injury across a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Back into running for 2026 and getting shin pain? Or just starting out?

That aching or sharp pain along the shin isn’t “just soreness”.
👉 It’s often shin splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome), one of the most common running injuries we see in running athleetes.

Why assessment matters
Every runner is different. That’s why we utilise:
a. Thorough clinical assessment from experienced clinicians

b. KangaTech – to assess lower limb strength and neuromuscular control

c. Force plates – to quantify and describe asymmetrical and inefficient loading patterns

d. Vuemotion – to analyse running mechanics and movement efficiency

Together, these allow us to identify why your shins are overloaded, not just where it hurts but WHY!

How we fix shin splints:

1: Smart load modification (not complete rest)

2: Targeted calf, foot & hip strengthening

3: Myofascial release to the medial soleul aponeurotic bridge

4. Shock wave therapy to the medial tibia and surrounding soft tissues

5: Running Technique & movement retraining

6: Progressive return-to-run programming that can. Improve your performance in the long term

7: Soft orthotics (when appropriate) to improve lower-limb mechanics and reduce stress on the medial shin
👉 Yes! We assess, prescribe and fit these in-house.

Ignoring shin pain can compromise running performance and progress to bone stress injury

Pain is a form of feedback but prevention is an even better strategy. The sooner mechanics and load are optimised, the faster you get back to pain-free running.
