✨EXTENSION BEFORE ROTATION

Most people twist first and wonder why their back still feels blocked.

At O2 Active and Eric St Physio, we always restore thoracic extension before rotation.

Why? If your upper back is stuck in flexion (rounded), your body will “cheat” by rotating through the lower back or ribs instead of the thoracic spine.

✅ Step 1: Gentle thoracic extension (foam roller / half swan)
✅ Step 2: Supported seated rotation with pelvis locked
✅ Step 3: Functional rotation in standing

This sequencing is how gold-standard clinical Pilates and exercise physiology differ from generic “stretch classes.” Every move has a reason, and every reason is about your function.

🔹 Want your rotation to actually improve (not just “feel nice” for 5 minutes)? Book with our clinical team at our

🩰 Posterior Ankle Impingement in Dancers
This common ballet injury, often caused by repetitive plantarflexion (like pointe work), can lead to pain and stiffness at the back of the ankle.

At O2 Active, our Exercise Physiologists specialise in managing dance-related injuries conservatively through targeted strength and mobility training.

🎓 Our Director, Caitlin Hunt, also Co-Director of Eric St Physio, brings deep insight into dance rehabilitation. With over two decades of ballet experience, Caitlin danced with The Perth School of Ballet for 21 years and originally founded Silhouette Dance Studio before it grew under Michelle’s leadership into what it is today. Her dual expertise in elite dance and clinical rehabilitation provides dancers with truly tailored support.

With the right program, we can:
✔ Reduce impingement and restore range
✔ Improve ankle stability and alignment
✔ Strengthen key muscle groups for pointe work
✔ Support injury prevention and return to stage

Conservative rehab through exercise physiology addresses the root cause—not just the pain—so dancers can build resilient ankles and extend their performance longevity. 🦶

Celebrating more than just milestones—we celebrate our amazing community!

We were so inspired by our client Jenice’s recent words, calling her time with us a “lifelong commitment.” Moments like this photo capture what that truly means to us: building lasting relationships and supporting each other on every step of the health journey.

Whether it’s through our group classes, Clinical Pilates, or one-on-one Aged Care Exercise Physiology sessions, our goal is to provide exceptional, hands-on coaching in a supportive environment.

We are so grateful for every member of our O2 Active family.
