Did you know female athletes are up to 8x more likely to tear their ACL? 🚨

Swipe through to understand why — and more importantly, what we can do about it. ➡️

The 2025 FAIR Consensus (the largest evidence review of its kind) confirms that structured neuromuscular warm-up programmes can reduce ACL injuries by 61% in female athletes.

That’s not a small number. That’s a game-changer.
✅ As little as 10 minutes, twice a week
✅ Balance, strength, plyometrics & landing mechanics
✅ Works at every level — from grassroots to elite

👇 Comment “MRx” below and we’ll send you our FREE Neuromuscular Training Programme PDF straight to your DMs — a 3-level progressive plan built specifically for female athletes in change-of-direction sports.

Most people focus on how high someone jumps.

But what often matters more is how they land.

Every landing goes through three key phases:

Impact – how the body absorbs force
Braking – how the body controls the movement
Rebound – how energy is redirected into the next action

When one of these phases isn’t working well, the body often compensates.
That can mean:
• higher joint loading
• reduced efficiency
• increased injury risk

In the clinic we assess these phases to better understand how someone handles force during movement.
This helps guide rehabilitation, training decisions, and return-to-sport progressions.
Because performance and injury risk are rarely about one metric — they’re about how the whole system works together.

You don’t have to be an athlete to come here.

Yes, we work with runners and post-op ACL patients.

But we also work with parents, professionals, and everyday people who simply want to move better and stay active.

High-quality rehab and strength work isn’t exclusive.
It’s structured, supportive, and personal.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about starting because you’re “not sporty enough” — you’re welcome here.

Early motion after ACL reconstruction isn’t about rushing rehab.

It’s about doing the right things early.
Regaining full knee extension.
Managing swelling properly.
Restoring quadriceps activation.
The first 6 weeks set the foundation for everything that follows — strength, running, cutting and return to sport.
Poor early decisions create long-term limitations.

Good early structure creates momentum.
We’ve written a full breakdown of why early hands-on care and guided motion matter in ACL rehab.

Big weekend for the Movement Rx team.
Shena competed in a 10km event, finishing:
🏆 1st in her age group
🥇 4th overall female

Performance matters — and we believe in living it.
Whether it’s post-op rehab, return to sport, or chasing a personal best, we understand the demands because we train and compete ourselves.

Well done Shena 👏

A warm-up should build toward match speed.
Not stop at band work.

Before you step on court, bridge control into reactive movement:
• Ball drop and catch
• Banded ER into overhead press
• Explosive internal rotation

This prepares the shoulder for high-velocity, repetitive overhead loading — exactly what tennis demands.
Most tennis-related shoulder injuries develop from repetitive overload on tissues that weren’t fully prepared.
This is injury prevention in action.

Your rotator cuff isn’t “weak.”
It’s often just unprepared.

After mobility, you need to activate and control the shoulder complex before match speed:
• Scapular push-ups
• Prone snow angels
• Banded external rotation pull-aparts

This phase improves dynamic stability and neuromuscular timing — reducing the repetitive overload that leads to impingement and rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Skipping this step is one of the most common mistakes we see.

This is Phase 2 of our tennis shoulder warm-up.
Full breakdown on the blog.

If shoulder pain is limiting your serve or overhead power, a proper assessment makes a difference.

Phase 1-Mobility 🎾
Most tennis shoulder pain doesn’t start with the serve.
It starts with a shoulder that wasn’t ready.

Before you hit, spend 2 minutes improving mobility through the upper back and shoulder blade:
• Thoracic rotation
• Scapular wall slides
• Hand-behind-back stretch

If the thoracic spine and scapula don’t move well, the shoulder joint has to compensate — and that’s where overload begins.

This is Phase 1 of our 6–8 minute tennis shoulder warm-up designed by our physios.

Full guide now live on our website.

If you’re playing tennis in Moreton Bay and dealing with shoulder pain, don’t ignore it early. It’s easier to fix before it becomes chronic.

ACLR rehab ≠ jogging.

Change-of-direction (COD) work is a non-negotiable part of returning to court/field. The key isn’t one magic drill—it’s considered on-field coaching, clear cues, and frequent video review to refine mechanics and track progress over time. 🎥

Today’s 45° cuts focus on:
* Plant → exit mechanics (purposeful push)
* Hip & trunk control through the turn
* Shin angle → direction (avoid collapse)
* Quiet, efficient foot contacts
* Left–right symmetry before adding speed/angle

We film → review → refine each session so changes stick. When technique is clean at controlled pace, we progress to faster speeds, bigger angles, then reactive “chaos” cues.

Want an ACL running/COD plan that matches your stage? Join our Running Group or book online (Redcliffe / Moreton Bay).
DM “ACL” with your sport + timeline and we’ll point you to 1–2 priorities.

Following on from “Juniors ≠ Small Adults” 👇

Today’s reel: a 13-year-old basketballer (healthy) moving through our routine screen — warm-up (more not shown) ➜ CMJ ➜ SLJ ➜ double- & single-leg drop jumps on ForceDecks.

Why we screen during growth 📈
• Track jump height, RSI/reactive strength, braking/landing control, L–R symmetry
• Build a baseline and watch trends as she grows — not hunting for problems
• Outcome today: healthy ✅ + a couple of micro-focus areas for this term

Also (not shown): strength testing 🦵🏋️‍♀️
Targeted checks of quads, hamstrings, calf, and hip/pelvic stabilisers (abductors/external rotators + trunk). For female athletes, this is essential—it supports better landing mechanics, decel/braking, change-of-direction control, and helps manage knee load. 🧠

Gold standard = quality coaching + age-appropriate loading.
Parents: want a baseline or growth-phase check-in? DM “JUNIOR” or book online (Redcliffe / Moreton Bay). Save this for season prep. 🔖
