Sudden back pain?

Whether you've gone a little too hard playing with the kids, hurt yourself while exercising or just moved too quickly, acute back pain is a common complaint.

No matter how you injure yourself, it's best to treat it sooner than later.

Here are some tips that can help you get some relief:

• Active rest - Try to keep your back moving within your pain limits

• Avoid aggravating activities - sitting and driving are often the worst positions

• Heat - Every hour place a heat pack on the sore area for 10-15 minutes

• Medicine - Take paracetamol for immediate pain relief

• Massage - Gentle massage is okay, as long as it is not painful

• Make an appointment - see your physiotherapist for assessment, treatment and advice

Is your summer cycling hurting your hips?

Here are some tips that can help!

1️⃣ Work on your hip and trunk muscle control
Clinical exercise or Pilates can really help with this.

2️⃣ Maintain your hip flexibility
Stretch your hip flexors.

3️⃣ Stand up
Most of us spend too long with our muscles contracted, give your sitting muscles a break and get the opposing muscles working instead.

4️⃣ Avoid the "low tuck" position
Leave that for the elite athletes. The further forward you are, the greater your risk for potential injury.

5️⃣ Get a good bike fit
Your position on the bike can make a massive difference to performance and injury prevention.

If in doubt, ask your physio!

Aussie summer is heating up, which means one thing for many Aussie families: cricket. 🏏

Whether playing in the backyard or watching on television, it's a national obsession.

One of the most devastating cricket injuries is fast bowler's back, which can cause lower back pain and even stress fractures. ⚡

The repetitive extension and side bending of the spine as you bowl can put immense pressure on the bony structures of your spine.

Australian cricketer Cameron Green is currently recovering from this type of injury.

For young fast bowlers in particular, managing their load and number of overs bowled in training and in games is crucial.

Are you experiencing pain in the lower back due to repetitive bowling actions?

It's a good idea to review your bowling technique and speak to your local physiotherapist for treatment and advice!
