Did you know dizziness, vertigo and unsteadiness can affect kids too??

Recent research has shown kids who have had cochlear implants, head injuries and even attentional deficits can have issues with their inner ear function. This can have great impacts on their balance, ability to play and participate in activities. The associated dizziness is not very pleasant either!

At Shoreside Physio, the Vestibular assessment and treatment is tailored appropriately to the child's needs to get the best outcome.

How to Perform a Split Squat:
1. Stand tall and take a large step forward with one foot, then step your back foot back into a staggered, split stance, keeping your feet hip-width apart and pointing forward.
2. Keeping your chest up and core engaged, bend both knees, lowering your back knee towards the floor.
3. Ensure your front knee stays directly over your ankle, not extending past your toes, and your shin remains nearly vertical.
4. Push through your front foot and drive back up to the starting standing position, maintaining your split stance.
5. Perform all reps on one side before switching, or alternate legs.
Hold dumbbells at your sides to increase resistance.
Benefits of a Split Squat Exercise:
- Allows you to progress quad and glute strengthening from double leg to single leg without need for equipment
- Adds a balance component to the exercise
- Trains functional movement patterns to assist with daily tasks such as getting up from the floor
- Can be progressed easily by adding weights, raising the back leg to transition to a Bulgarian split squat, or by going further into range

A week ago Joe had the privilege of giving a talk to the local garden club on falls and balance.

This gave a great opportunity to discuss risk factors for falls, how to get up from a fall and exercises to improve your balance and general strength.

Chronic condition management plans (GPCCMP) (previously called Enhanced Primary Care plans and Chronic Disease Management Plans) help patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions access allied health services through Medicare. Eligible medical conditions are present or are likely to be present for 6 months or longer.

Eligible patients can use 5 services per calendar year. The 5 services may be either: one type of service, for example 5 physiotherapy services or a combination of different types of services, for example one dietetic and 4 podiatry services.

Referrals under a GPCCMP are valid for the timeframe stated in the referral (usually 12 months).

GPCCMP allow patients to access a rebate for allied health services, this helps to cover approximately $60 of the consult fee.

If you have been referred to Shoreside Physio under a GPCCMP, let us know at the time of booking, and make sure to bring along your referral form and Medicare card to ensure you can access your rebate.

How to Perform a Single Leg Romanian Deadlift (RDL)

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in one or both hands. If you're new to this exercise, begin with just your body weight.
2. Shift your weight onto one leg, keeping a slight bend in the knee of the supporting leg.
3. Begin the movement by pushing your hips back. Keep your back straight and core engaged.
4. As you hinge forward, lower your torso towards the ground while simultaneously lifting the non-weight-bearing leg straight back behind you. Your torso should lower until it is almost parallel to the floor.
5. Keep your hips and shoulders square throughout the movement. Avoid letting your hips rotate upwards.
6. Focus on feeling the stretch in your hamstring and glute of the supporting leg.
7. Press through the heel of your supporting leg to return to the starting position. Engage your glutes and hamstrings as you rise back up.

Benefits of Single Leg RDL:
1. Strengthens Posterior Chain: Targets the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back, improving overall strength and stability.
2. Enhances Balance and Coordination: As a unilateral exercise, it helps improve balance and proprioception, which is beneficial for athletic performance and daily activities.

Did you know that we offer Dry Needling at Shoreside Physio? Michala completed the APA Dry Needling and Acupuncture for Physiotherapists course back in 2019 and has used it as part of her treatment ever since.

Dry Needling is an evidence-based treatment strategy that involves the insertion of needles into trigger points in specific, tight muscles to assist with pain management. The evidence suggests dry needling can help to reduce muscle tension and decrease by:

💥 Increasing blood flow & promoting the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals in the painful area

💥 Decreasing the overactive electrical activity coming from the spinal cord which can in turn decrease the high resting tone of the muscle

💥 Changing the way your brain interprets pain by desensitising the painful area.

If you’re looking to try Dry Needling or have an injury or ni**le, book in for an appointment with Michala by giving us a call or booking online.

Glute strengthening - important for higher level sporting activities as well as day to day tasks such as walking up stairs and stability while walking.

Studies looking at muscle activation have recommended some of the best exercises to activate the 3 gluteal muscles. Adding weight to these exercises increases the amount of muscle activation.

For gluteus maximus a split squat at 12 rep max showed best activation, for gluteus medius a body weight side plank, and for gluteus minimus a single leg Romanian Deadlift (RDL) at 12 rep max.

Adjusting these exercises to suit individual needs and goals is where we can help!
