Young Athletes 🏃🏈

We love seeing active and healthy kids in the clinic but this is certainly one thing we notice, particularly around the adolescent era where kids focus on one particular sport/type of sport increases ⚽️

During childhood and adolescence sporting focus should be split across multiple types of sport (to increase balance, strength, control and longevity in sports), as well as controlled across the week with quality sleep, good quality nutrition and recovery ⚖️

If your child is old enough to play organised sport they are old enough to engage in resistance/strength training (AIS data). This can help strengthen tissues and help reduced likelihood of injury during these formative years 🏋️

Aim for hours playing sport in the week to be equal to or less than their age - ie: 10 years old, 10 hours per week ⏰

Got questions? Reach out! 📩

Stretching is not effective.
Might feel good, granted. You’re welcome to do it, however…

It will never beat intentional, challenging rehab that LOADS your tissues. This is how we adapt and improve pathological tissues causing pain, or “overloaded” tissues (read underprepared tissues).

Rehab also needs to be relevant to your life and work:
Rotational core load for a golfer with a bad back 🏌️‍♀️
Plyometrics for a runner to build fast twitch fibres 🏃‍♀️
Hinge loading for a mum (bending into the cot) 🍼
Lat Strength for a Crossfitter with overhead pain 🏋️‍♀️

Monday Mythbusters 🧨 Concussion Edition

Concussions from sport alone account for 20% of hospital admissions in Australia.

Despite growing research, media awareness and consideration at all levels of sport Concussions remain poorly understood.

MYTHS:
❌You need to hit your head to have a consussion.
❌Rest is the best way to recover (think watching TV, reading, scrolling phone).
❌No immediate signs or symptoms means no concussion.
❌If you feel okay you can return to play

TRUTHS:
✅ Concussion can occur with a whiplash and no direct head trauma
✅ Return to Learn and Play protocols should be part of recovery. Graded approaches, not just rest.
✅ The cascade of neural changes can increase symptoms hours or days later.
✅ Many factors should be considered before a full return to play.

Due to primarily effecting the nervous system and brain these systems need to be assessed and rehabilitated for the following:
🧠 Cervical joint pain and limitation of motion
🧠 Visual disturbances or tracking issues
🧠 Balance or vertigo signs or symptoms.
🧠 Learning and Memory loss or changes
🧠 Coordination and mental task management
⛹️‍♂️Physical activity guidelines need to be set and monitored
🥗 Nutrition and supplementation should be considered also. 
Have you had a concussion before? What did you feel in yourself, leave us a comment below!

Healthy Bones Week 🦴

Bone health and fighting the decline in our bone density is a conversation we have every week, it’s so important for how we age, how we function and reducing our morbidity risks.

With healthy diet that maintains calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus levels (think dairy, fatty fish, eggs, meats, legumes and nuts) as well as resistance training and plyometrics we can slow down this decline and even reverse markers of osteoporosis 🩻

If you want more guidance on how to implement lifting weights or plyometrics into your training regime please send us a DM!
