💪 What Is RPE — And how do we use it in physiotherapy?

Ever heard of RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion)?
It’s one of the simplest and most effective ways to measure how hard you’re working — without needing fancy equipment or a heart rate monitor!

RPE is all about how you feel during exercise — your breathing, muscle fatigue, and overall effort. We often use this as a way to actively gauge how you're coping during activity.

Here is an example of what each level might look like:

📊 The RPE Scale (0–10):
0️⃣ — Rest
3️⃣ — Light effort (easy walk, warm-up)
5️⃣ — Moderate (steady jog, sustainable pace)
7️⃣ — Hard (you can talk, but it’s tough)
9️⃣ — Very hard (near your limit)
🔟 — Max effort (can’t continue much longer)

RPE is a self reflective measure - which can be handy when learning how far to push yourself during activity.

Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who sacrificed so much for the freedoms we have today.

Their courage, strength, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

Lest we forget.

‼️ Warmups are often something people ask us about..

Sometimes we can see people who warmup very poorly - jump straight from the carpark into heavy deadlifts without even tying up their shoe laces.

Others might overdo the warmup and spend 30+ minutes doing glute bridges in the corner before getting stuck in to their working sets.

So what’s the ‘right’ answer? 🧐🧐

My best advice is this:

🔥 1. Warmup the specific movement you are doing for your working sets in a lighter format.

- doing back squats? Try warmup the squat without weight and build into some lighter ranges before getting to your working sets.

🔥 🔥 2. Pay attention to your niggles.

- programmed to hit chest today but your feeling extra tight from your previous session? Lean into that and incorporate some chest movements in your warmup.

🔥 🔥 🔥 3. Quality reps over ticking the box!

- don’t just go through the motions. Focus on your warmup and make it count! Treat each rep like it is the only one you have to do and follow through with intent.

Hope you found this info helpful! Happy lifting 🫶

Are you someone who does a lot of overhead activity at work or as part of your sport? 🛠️🏐

Whether you’re painting ceilings, lifting at the gym, or serving on the court — your shoulders are important in our overall function.

If they often feel tight, tired, or sore, it might not just be from overuse… it could be from a lack of strength required for the demands of your lifestyle.

🔥 Strength training could be the key element you’re missing. 🔥

Building strength and control through movements like the overhead press helps your shoulders, scapula, and core work together — improving endurance, stability, and reducing the risk of overload injuries.

Progressing through a well rounded and individualised shoulder strength program is important in being resilient to overhead activity related injury.

🏋️‍♀️ The Evidence-Based Benefits of Strength Training for Women

Strength training is one of the most effective forms of exercise for women of all ages - not only for improving fitness, but also for supporting long-term health, function, and wellbeing.

Here’s what the research tells us 👇

1️⃣ Improves Muscular Strength and Function
Regular resistance training helps build and maintain muscle mass, which naturally declines with age. Stronger muscles mean better joint stability, improved posture, and easier performance of daily activities.

2️⃣ Supports Bone Health
Strength training increases bone mineral density and helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis. This is especially important after menopause, when bone loss accelerates due to hormonal changes.

3️⃣ Boosts Metabolism and Aids Weight Management
Muscle tissue is metabolically active - meaning the more lean muscle you have, the more energy your body uses at rest. This helps with maintaining a healthy weight and metabolic health.

4️⃣ Reduces Risk of Injury and Chronic Pain
A well-structured strength program improves joint alignment, coordination, and movement control, lowering the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and reducing chronic pain conditions like low back pain.

5️⃣ Supports Healthy Ageing
Maintaining strength helps preserve independence, mobility, and quality of life as we age. It’s a key factor in healthy ageing and functional longevity.

Do you ever feel unmotivated to get your rehab done at home? 😩😞

Sometimes things can seem a bit boring, so here are 3 tips to try and spice things up a bit!

1. Gamify Your Progress

Turn your rehab into a personal challenge or game.

Set small daily or weekly goals (like hitting a new rep count or holding a stretch longer).

Use apps or trackers that show your improvement over time—it’s more fun when you can see progress.

2. Add Entertainment to the Routine

Listen to music, audiobooks, or podcasts while doing your exercises.

If possible, watch a show or movie during stationary activities (like using a bike or doing stretches).

Pick content that you only watch/listen to during rehab—makes it something to look forward to.

3. Change the Environment or Routine

Move your rehab to different locations (if safe): a park, your backyard, a different room.

Try alternative movements that meet your rehab goals but feel different—ask your therapist if there are variations or fun tools (like resistance bands, balance boards, or pool therapy).

Variety helps keep your brain engaged, not just your body.
