Balance matters for everyone! 🧘‍♀️

Good balance helps you move confidently, prevent falls, and stay active in daily life, whether that’s walking, gardening, or playing sport.

In this video, our physio Jonno demonstrates three simple balance exercises you can try at home to start improving your stability.

✨ Make sure you’re doing them in a safe environment, with a sturdy support nearby (like a chair or bench) if needed.

💪 Small, consistent practice can make a big difference over time!

Stay tuned for our next post, where we’ll share more about our Falls Prevention and Balance Class here at the clinic which is perfect for anyone looking to build confidence in their balance and prevent falls!

🏃‍♂️💨 Getting stuck into training, spring projects, or ramping up your routine? Whether it’s a run, a gym session, or a day in the garden — remember: most injuries come from doing too much, too soon.

✨ Tip of the week: Always warm up before you dive in. Why?

🔥 It increases blood flow to your muscles
🦵 Prepares joints for movement
🧠 Switches your body + brain into “ready” mode
🚫 Reduces the risk of strains and sprains

Think of it as priming your body for performance. Just 5–10 minutes of dynamic movements can make a massive difference.

🦵 Knee pain when going up stairs?
🚶‍♀️ Aching during or after a run?
🪑 Pain after sitting for too long?

You might be dealing with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS).

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome - often called “runner’s knee” - refers to pain around or behind the kneecap (patella). It happens when the patella doesn’t track properly in the groove of the thigh bone (femur), causing irritation of the surrounding tissues.

It’s not limited to runners - we also see it in office workers, teenagers, gym-goers, and postpartum women!

🔍 Common Symptoms:
• Diffuse, aching pain around or behind the kneecap
• Worse with stairs (especially going down), squatting, kneeling, or running
• Discomfort after sitting for long periods
• Clicking or grinding sensation
• Pain usually comes on gradually - no obvious injury

Why does it happen?
It’s often due to overuse, muscle imbalance or poor alignment of the hip, knee, or foot and is more common in females.

What can be done?
Luckily, our physios have great experience working with PFPS! So if this sounds like your knee, call or book in for an assessment and management plan, and get back to doing the things you love without pain.
