Neck Pain 😔 😠 😡

❌️ Poor sleep quality and reduced levels of physical activity can be predictors of neck pain more than 'text neck' posture.

❌️Too much focus on posture ( based on the belief that spine is fragile and to be careful) can be maladaptive and lead to hypervigilience.

❌️Persistent pain with a focus on posture can also lead to catastrophising and excessive tone in trunk muscles.

❌️Chronic neck pain also affects the way we walk and move in general!

🤔So sitting slumped isn't "bad" and sitting upright isn't "good". Changing of posture regularly is better for overall pain and wellness.

🤔Pain with prolonged postures may be due to poor conditioning or accelerated exposure to prolonged postures. Therefore work on graded exposure to build up tolerance.

✅️Applying a patient centred approach with a balanced and active lifestyle is also so important.

✅️Focus on patient self efficacy - concentrate on staying active with movements you enjoy so that you are encouraged to keep moving!

✅️We need to promote the belief that the body is strong and adaptable!

PLANTAR FASCIOPATHY 🦶

Do any of the above statements ring true for you?

Plantar fasciopathy involves irritation of the plantar fascia, a band of fibrous tissue that runs along the underside of the foot and inserts onto the heel bone. It provides structure and support to the foot and helps with efficient movement as it tightens.

This condition can be extremely frustrating and debilitating...as it can affect your ability to move pain free from the moment you get out of bed. In the inital stages, the pain can settle after a few minutes of walking, but as the condition progresses, you may limp or hobble with prolonged walking and standing and performing exercise or sport involve running, jumping etc can be painful and irritating.

Age, foot posture, the amount you stand, load placed through the heel for sport and work, tight and weak calf and foot muscles, stiffness in the ankle and big toe, can all contribute.

This condition can become prolonged but working with a physio can make it more manageable.

Supportive footwear and taping, release of tight ankle and foot muscles and joints, strengthening, load management, relative rest can all aid in recovery.

Suffering from heel pain? Call us on 9446 3833 for assessment and management.

HAVING TROUBLE STICKING TO OR STARTING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM?

The thought of performing regular exercise can be daunting and tricky at the best of times, but it can be made even trickier for a variety of reasons.

A 2025 study by Grande et al (see link below), managed to narrow down the main reasons for people not being able to exercise to a therapeutic level (to improve pain, mobility, strength, social engagement, capacity for work and home duties etc) -

🙀 Fear and confusion about the actual injury or pathology.
😟 Worry that exercising might actually make the injury worse.
🥱 Feeling bored by the exercises and/or how repetitive they are.
😞Not having support from friends and family.
💰 ⏰️ Financial and time constraints.

So, how do we minimise or eliminate these barriers!?

✅️ EDUCATION!
✅️ Reassurance that pain doesn't always = damage and that sometimes our internal alarm system for pain needs a service/recalibration!
✅️ FIND EXERCISES OR MOVEMENT MEANINGFUL TO YOU!
✅️ Work around your work and home schedule and finanical constraints to allow best adherence. I.e. provide basic home equipment instead of a gym membership.

Let us help you understand your injury and provide you with meaningful and practical movement!

HAPPY WORLD MENOPAUSE DAY!

Sounds like an odd thing to be 'happy' about, WORLD MENOPAUSE DAY.

Truth is though, the more information we share about this time in the lives of our friends, mums, sisters, aunties etc, the more empowered we become to understand how this time can affect our WHOLE BODY and how we can implement changes to our sleep, diet and exercise regimes.

How we can incorporate help from our GPs, psychologists and physiotherapists to make it through this stage of life with the least amount of negative impact to our mind, bodies and lives.

How to stop feeling scared, ashamed, embarrassed or confused.

The time before menopause (menopause is actually one day, 12 months after our last menstrual period. Every day before that is when we are in perimenopuase and,every day after is,when we are postmenopausal) is when we start to experience many of the symptoms associated with menopause related hormone changes.

One of the biggest factors impacting us is the marked drop in estrogen.

Oestrogen is a part of or regulates a lot of our bodily functions and processes.

A drop in oestrogen is one of the reasons,why many women at this stage start to experience whole body/joint and muscles aches and pains, injuries such as Gluteal tendinopathy, rotator cuff issues, plantar fasciopathy and frozen shoulder.

It results in an accelerated loss in lean muscle mass and a resultant drop in bone density. This can leave us feeling weaker and can make us more prone to fractures if we fall.

So, what can we do???

Firstly. Coneect with a GP or Allied Health professional if you feel you may be entering their stage *swipe across to see a check-list from the wonderful *.

Hormone check and possible individualised menopause hormone therapy may be helpful.

Speak to your GP about access to a psychologist for mental health support if feelings of depression, anxiety, rage, brain fog are an issue.

Connect with your Physiotherapist to address any musculoskeletal issues and to develop a safe,and progressive muscle strengthening, power, balance and functional fitness.

Protein. Sleep. Stress. Address this too.

Let us take back control❤️

Ready. Set. Goal! 🏃‍♂️

Sometimes, exercise and movement can feel like groundhog day. Same routine. Day in day out. Week in week out.

To add meaning to your movement, it can be helpful to attach it to a goal.

The video above shows walkers/runners and joggers from all walks of life, attending the weekly at Lake Monger.

Events like these, where you can monitor and build on your run time, can help you to stay motivated. The challenge of the event itself, coupled with the energy and motivation from the other runners, can put fire in your belly to push your efforts.

If you have a fitness or health based goal, let us know, and we can tailor your rehab and treatment towards that goal. ❤️
