ReReturning to sport after syndesmosis surgery isn’t just about the ankle 👣

It’s about restoring confidence, output, and tolerance through the entire chain

This athlete is back running and loading again

But the calf and foot are taking a hit as volume ramps up

So we manage it 👇

Dry needling
Targeted manual therapy
Movement re-education

Not as the solution

But as a tool
Reduce tone
Settle pain

Improve motor output and decrease inhibition

Shoulder mobility fix

I’m tight. No denying it. Always have been.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t get better.

These are the tests I’m using as a litmus test for my shoulder range 👇

• Active shoulder flexion + abduction

• Wall angels
Great for overhead range and external rotation without cheating through the low back. Also a solid look at relative thoracic extension.

• Bridge / crab
A simple way to assess shoulder extension capacity.
If you’ve got tight shoulders, give these a shot.
Track them. Retest them. Progress them.

Good news 👀

These “tests” also double as excellent starting exercises.

Let’s get better together 🤝🤣
Save this. Send it to your stiff training partner

Why people fail rehab.

Most rehab doesn’t fail because the exercises are wrong.
It fails because the mindset is.

If you believe your recovery is happening TO you, you stay stuck.
If you believe your recovery happens BECAUSE of you, things change.

That’s an internal locus of control.
The belief that your actions matter.

You can’t control the injury.
You can control how you respond.

Victim behaviour looks like waiting, blaming, and hoping time fixes it.

Progress looks like ownership, consistency, and effort when it’s uncomfortable.

People who take control get better.
People who don’t… don’t.

If you’re tired of rehab hell, this is your wake-up call.

The best template for effective training

Warm up
Stop overcomplicating it.
Get warm.
Move through key patterns.
Prime the nervous system for what’s coming.

That’s it.

Next go explosive.
Jump. Throw. Or both.
High intent only.
This is where you drive neural output, tendon stiffness, and rate of force development.

Pair that with low stimulus mobility.
Target your biggest restriction while your system is switched on.

Then into the main work.

Big blocks.
For this session, vertical push and pull supersets to build real upper body capacity.

Finish with accessories.
A hinge pattern.
Loaded mobility like reverse Nordics.
Rotator cuff work to keep the shoulders resilient.

Simple. Repeatable. Effective.

There’s a time and place for extra stimulus in training.

Just like pre workout can shift your state physiologically and mentally, other inputs can do the same.

Mindset. Music. Caffeine. Even the environment you lift in.

Physiological arousal matters.
Not in a weird way. Relax.

I’m not someone who gets fired up every session. No screaming, no ammonia, no eight coffees just to move a barbell.

And if you feel like you need that every single time you train, it’s probably worth zooming out.

That usually points to something bigger being off.

Recovery not keeping up.
Training intensity too high for too long.
Or inconsistency masked by artificial hype.

But sometimes, those tools have their place.

Today was one of those days.

Spent the morning going back and forth with my accountants, head full, patience thin. I needed to clear the noise and just lift some circles.

Turned on angry music.
Blanked the mind.
Got a little amped.

AMRAP sets are perfect for that.
One hard set. Challenging load. As many quality reps as you’ve got.

Used sparingly, stimulus can amplify performance.
Used constantly, it’s a red flag.

Train the big picture well, and you get to choose when to turn the dial up.

Why most people fail rehab

It’s rarely because the injury was “too bad.”

It’s usually because expectations don’t match effort.

Rehab only works when the plan matches the goal and the work matches the plan.

You can’t want high-level outcomes with low-level consistency.

You can’t skip the basics and expect progression.

You can’t ignore the plan and then blame the rehab.
The people who get better aren’t special.

They do the simple things, consistently.

Results are proportional to the work you’re willing to put in.

If rehab hasn’t worked for you before, this is the part worth reflecting on.

If this hits home, save it.
If you’re ready to do it properly, you know where to find us.

Congratulations to on finishing his return to sport testing today

TONS of hard work and perseverance over this process to come back over a couple unlucky injuries, including a bone infection post syndesmosis surgery

I cannot wait to see this man on the field this year tearing it up

Big things coming 👀⚡

Five years of physio in 120s

Most people aren’t broken.
They’re just following bad advice.

Pain isn’t a damage report.
Rest doesn’t rebuild capacity.

Generic rehab fails active people.
Scans don’t predict outcomes.

Hands-on work helps, but it’s not the solution.
Your body adapts to what you expose it to.

Load it well, progressively, and with intent.
If you’re stuck in a loop of flare-ups, scans, and short-term fixes, this is why.

Follow for rehab and training that actually holds up long term.

Send this to someone stuck in rehab hell.

Grateful is an understatement.

Being part of this club over the last four years has been one of the best experiences of my career.
Rugby took me places I never expected to go.
Dubai. Europe. Canberra. Noosa.

There are too many memories to choose from so here are a few that came up, I wish I had enough space to share all of the places, people, and experiences.

Every trip came with memories, growth, and friendships I’ll hang onto for life.

I’ve been fortunate to work as Head Medical across the Colts, the Women’s program, and the Men’s program, and to finish up as Medical Director for the club, along with being able to mentor and educate student physiotherapists throughout the process.

A huge privilege and something I’m incredibly proud of.

Thank you to the players, coaches, staff, volunteers, and wider community for trusting me and making it such a special chapter.

Onwards. 💚🦈⚡🏉
