Last season's injury flaring back up? 🔥

We get it, life gets busy and you put off the rehab of last season's injury. It might just go away, right?

Wrong! Well, usually.

Old injuries can flare because of weak muscles, stiffness, scar tissue, or even changes in how your body moves. Overuse or new activity can easily tip the balance.

At Applecross Physiotherapy, we help you get back on track with tailored rehab, targeted exercises, and hands-on care so you can move pain-free again 💪

Don’t let last season’s injury hold you back this season. Book your session today via the link in our bio! 🔗

🚫 MYTH: No pain, no gain

Let’s unpack this 👇

TRUTH: Pain is not a requirement for progress.

While some discomfort can be normal when building strength or returning from injury, sharp, worsening, or lingering pain is your body’s warning sign.

At Applecross Physio, we focus on the right load, right movement, and right progression so you improve without flaring things up. Sustainable rehab beats pushing through pain every time.

✅ Build strength safely
✅ Recover faster
✅ Prevent setbacks

If you’re unsure whether your pain is “normal” or a sign to modify, book in via the link in our bio and we’ll guide you 💪

When should you see a Sports Exercise physio? 🏋️‍♀️

Sports Exercise physiotherapists aren’t just for elite athletes, they’re here for anyone who wants to stay active, recover from injuries, or improve performance. Knowing when to book an appointment can make all the difference.

You should see a sports physio if you experience:
✅ Persistent pain or discomfort – pain that doesn’t settle or keeps coming back.
✅ Recent or recurring injury – sprains, strains, tendon issues, or joints that keep giving trouble.
✅ Limited movement or performance issues – trouble moving as usual or wanting to improve safely.
✅ Post-surgery or rehabilitation needs – guidance to regain strength, mobility, and prevent setbacks.

Why act early?
Early assessment can prevent minor injuries from becoming chronic, speed up recovery, and get you back to your sport faster.

Does this sound like you? Book in with our Sports Exercise physio Andrew McIntyre via the link in our bio 📅

🚨 Pre-season is where seasons are made (or broken) 🚨

If you’re carrying old niggles, coming back from injury, or just want to feel properly ready this year, a generic program won’t cut it.

That’s why our pre-season programs are built around you:
• your sport
• your position
• your goals
• your injury history
• where your body’s actually at right now

We look at what you need, what’s held you back before, and train you to be stronger, faster, and more resilient! 💪

Train with purpose. Turn up to round one confident.

Call us on 9316 1186 or book online to get started! 📅

26/01/2026

My shoulder hurts — why are you checking my neck?

Because the body doesn’t work in isolation.

Research in British Journal of Sports Medicine and Manual Therapy shows that...

💆‍♀️ Cervical (neck) dysfunction can change how shoulder muscles fire
💆‍♀️ Nerve sensitivity from the neck can mimic rotator cuff pain
💆‍♀️ Poor upper-spine mobility alters shoulder loading patterns

So if we only treat the shoulder and ignore the neck, we may miss the actual driver.

So what does this mean for you?

If your shoulder pain:
✅ Shifts location
✅ Feels vague
✅ Comes with headaches or stiffness
✅ Changes with posture

Then your neck is likely part of the picture — even if the pain feels “local”.

That’s why our assessments are whole-system, not single-joint.
Because fixing what hurts without fixing what feeds it is how pain keeps returning.
