Not all recovery tools are created equal — some feel great short-term, others actually help your body recover long-term.
🌀 Foam roller: 6/10
⚡️ Spiky ball: 5.5/10
🎯 Trigger point ball: 5.5/10
🧴 Deep heat / DP: 2.5/10
😴 Sleep: 10/10 (the gold standard)
💆♂️ Massage: 7/10
Relief vs recovery matters.
Use tools wisely — and don’t sleep on sleep!
Save this for your next sore day.

Back pain isn’t just an adult problem — it’s surprisingly common in older kids and teens. While some factors are out of our control, many aren’t.
From posture and long hours sitting, to carrying heavy backpacks the wrong way — small daily habits can add up.
The big takeaway:
✔️ Keep backpacks around 10% of body weight
✔️ Use both shoulder straps
✔️ Encourage regular movement + simple strength & mobility

Earlier this week Luke had the privilege to participate as physio at Kooyong Tennis Club (former location of the Australian Open) for the International Tennis Club.
Players receive invitation to the International Tennis Club with the key requisite having previously played as professionals in the major slams. The Australian players competed against players of other nations with the Australian team coming up trumps over the two-day tournament.
Luke assisted with a player in the lead up to the tournament to provide relief from a hamstring problem. Another player sought Luke’s guidance for a suspected Achilles injury sustained during their first match which was confirmed as an Achilles tendon rupture requiring orthopaedic surgeon input.
Many thanks to the Event Organiser Shane Scrutton for inviting Luke to participate as physiotherapist. Shane is the coach of our sponsored club Eaglemont Tennis club and head coach of Yarra Tennis. 🎾

At Continuum, we use force plate technology trusted by professional leagues like the AFL, NFL and NBA to measure how your body produces and absorbs force — from balance and power to asymmetries and landing control.
In just seconds, this gives us objective data you can’t see with the naked eye.
The result? Smarter rehab, clearer return-to-sport decisions, and training programs tailored precisely to your body.

Ankle sprain? Don’t brush it off 🚫🦶
Ankle sprains are one of the most commonly re-injured issues — especially if rehab stops too early.
Do the right things early: manage swelling, reduce load, and get assessed.
As you build back, strength, mobility and balance matter, not just rest.
Rushing back before your ankle can run, cut and jump confidently is a fast track to another sprain.

Tennis player Marta Kostyuk unfortunately rolled and injured her ankle. Watch as physio Tom breaks down this common tennis injury.
She managed to return with heavy strapping but scans later confirmed a ligament tear, likely ending her tournament and a few weeks of play.
If you’ve rolled your ankle — whether it’s sport, running, or just stepping off a curb — don’t guess the severity. The right assessment and rehab can make all the difference for stability and preventing repeat sprains.
