Ever wondered what actually happens during a proper back assessment? 👇

At Applecross Physiotherapy, we don’t rush. A thorough assessment means understanding your story, watching how you move, testing your strength and control, and using hands-on techniques to pinpoint the true source of your discomfort.

This gives you:
✅ Clarity on what’s causing your pain
✅ A personalised exercise plan
✅ Confidence in your recovery
✅ A clear roadmap back to pain-free movement

If your back has been bothering you lately, or you’ve had recurring flare-ups, a detailed assessment can make all the difference.

You’ve stretched, foam-rolled, and even swapped shoes — but that ache still won’t quit? 😣

Pain isn’t always caused by where you feel it. Here are 3 sneaky reasons it could be hanging around 👇

1️⃣ Compensation patterns:
When one muscle or joint underperforms, another picks up the slack — often leading to pain elsewhere. (Think: hip weaknesses causing knee pain.)

2️⃣ Lifestyle load:
Long drives, desk jobs, carrying kids — even how you sleep can overload certain muscles. Small, repetitive habits create big changes over time.

3️⃣ Stress & tension:
Yep — mental stress changes how we move and breathe. Tight shoulders and jaw clenching are classic examples.

Take a quick body scan right now — unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders, breathe deeply into your belly.

Sometimes the simplest reset is the most effective!

We’re not crying, you are 😭

Ever wondered if dry needling is just acupuncture with a new name? 🤔

Let’s clear up a few myths we hear all the time 👇

Myth 1: It’s the same as acupuncture.
🔹 Nope — acupuncture follows traditional Chinese medicine principles.
🔹 Dry needling targets specific trigger points in tight or overactive muscles to help reduce pain and restore movement.

Myth 2: It’s only for athletes.
🔹 We use it for all sorts of people — from office workers with tight necks to new mums with shoulder tension.
🔹 If you’ve got a muscle that feels “stuck” or won’t relax, dry needling can help release it.

Myth 3: It should hurt a lot to work.
🔹 Some mild twitching or ache is normal, but sharp pain means the needle needs adjusting.
🔹 Afterward, you might feel like you’ve had a workout — not an injury.

Next time you have a stubborn knot or tension that massage can’t quite fix, ask your physio if dry needling might help alongside your rehab exercises.

Did you know only 8–9% of sports medicine research is female-specific, despite the huge rise in women & girls competing in sport?
physio-network.com

That means training programs, rehab protocols, and even our assessments are often based on male-dominant models — which may not work well for female anatomy, hormones, or life stages.

Key things female athletes often miss:
• How hormonal cycles can affect injury risk & recovery.
physio-network.com

• The changes and challenges of adolescence & puberty for girls (higher ACL risk, needing strength & agility early).
physio-network.com

• What happens during perimenopause / menopause — body composition, strength, recovery can shift, and often get overlooked.
physio-network.com

If you’re a female athlete (or support one), your training should reflect you, not just what’s easiest or most studied.

💬 Tag a female athlete who deserves care designed for her.

Lost your confidence? 😔

At Applecross Physiotherapy, we often see two patterns with hamstring strains:
⚡ Rushing back: athletes or active people returning to running or intense activity too soon.
💭 Overlooked confidence issues: fear of re-injury, not trusting the muscle, or avoiding movements altogether.

Most repeat hamstring injuries happen because the root cause isn’t fixed, things like poor load management, muscle imbalance, or missing the right strength progressions💪

At our clinic, we do things differently:
✅ Assess your movement, not just your pain
✅ Rebuild strength through all ranges
✅ Restore confidence step by step

Don’t let a recurring hammy strain hold you back. Let’s get you back moving stronger, faster, and without fear🏃‍♂️⚡

Hamstring strains are super common, but resting alone can actually make things worse. What if you could start rehab without losing fitness or confidence?

Here’s what early-stage recovery should look like:

🦵🏼 Gentle, pain-controlled movement day one (even if it hurts a little)—don’t wait weeks.
🦵🏼 Keep your heart rate up with low impact stuff: short marches, skipping, or easy bike/assault-bike intervals.
🦵🏼 Isometric holds like hamstring bridges to protect the tissue while maintaining strength.

👣 Save this post so next time you pull up tight, you know what the first week should feel like.
