Sharp, stabbing pain in your calf while running, jumping or accelerating? 🏃‍♀️

You may have sustained a calf muscle strain or tear.

A calf strain occurs when the muscle fibres in your calf are overstretched or torn, often during sudden bursts of movement like sprinting or pushing off.

✅ Why it happens:
Overstretching, poor flexibility, fatigue, previous injury or inadequate warm-up can all contribute.

✅ What to do:
Early management using RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and avoiding HARM (Heat, Alcohol, Running, Massage) helps limit damage.

✅ How physio helps:
Your physiotherapist can assess the severity, guide safe recovery, and design a progressive strengthening and stretching program.

✅ Return to activity and sport:
Calf strains generally recover well with appropriate rehabilitation; the key is managing them early and properly to avoid re-injury.

Back Pain: Rest? or Get Moving? 🤔

Back pain is one of the most common conditions, with 4 out of 5 people experiencing it at some stage in their lives.

While your first instinct might be to rest, the best thing you can often do is get moving!

Here’s what you need to know 👇

- Back pain is often caused by strained joints, muscles or ligaments, not serious damage.

- Many people recover within a few weeks with the right advice and activity.

- Staying active with gentle movement like walking helps speed up recovery.

- Physiotherapy and exercise together provide the best long-term outcomes.

If back pain is holding you back, our physiotherapists can assess, treat, and guide your return to normal activity safely and effectively.

Shoulder pain is a common issue that many swimmers and surfers can face 🏊‍♂️🏄

The term "swimmer's shoulder" is a broad label encompassing a range of shoulder-related problems. Therefore, providing an accurate diagnosis and identifying the underlying cause is crucial.

Typically, the pain associated with swimmers' shoulder occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff or the bursa (a sac filled with fluid that reduces friction) under the shoulder's arch are pinched 🤏

Several factors contribute to swimmers' shoulder, including:

☑️ Incorrect posture
☑️ Tight muscles
☑️ Excessive mobility of the shoulder joint
☑️ Rigidity in the neck or back
☑️ Lengthy training sessions
☑️ Poor technique

Our expert team of physiotherapists can help diagnose and treat your shoulder pain.

Feeling the pinch in your hips?

From sitting at your desk to crushing squats at the gym, we spend a lot of time with our hips in a flexed position. All that time can lead to tight hip flexors without us even realising it! 😬

Tight hip flexors don’t just stay in the hips - they can spark lower back pain, hip discomfort, or even groin pain, especially for cyclists and runners 🏃‍♂️

It’s only when we start stretching that we notice just how tight they’ve become.

If your hips are feeling the strain, let the experts at Eramosa Physiotherapy help with exercises that can bring relief and prevent further pain.

Feeling a little off-balance or dizzy lately? You might be dealing with vertigo! 😵‍💫

A common type is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), which happens when tiny crystals in your inner ear get disrupted by sudden movements.

Did you know BPPV causes about 50% of dizziness in older adults? These dizzy spells can last minutes, hours, or even days! 🫤

What triggers it? Vertigo episodes are often set off by quick head movements like looking up, tilting your head, rolling over in bed, getting up too fast, or bending down.

What are the signs? The telltale signs of BPPV include dizziness, feeling faint, trouble with balance, nausea, and even vomiting 🤢

Can Physiotherapy help? Absolutely! Physiotherapists use specialised exercises to help reset your inner ear, restoring balance and reducing the intensity and frequency of vertigo spells.

Ready to find your balance again? Book a session with our expert team at Eramosa Physiotherapy ➡️ https://www.eramosaphysiotherapy.com.au/ or call (03) 5977 6590.

Elbow Pain Hitting Your Game? Understanding Golfer's Elbow! 🏌️‍♀️

If you're between 40 and 60 and feeling pain on the inside of your elbow, especially when gripping or picking up objects, it could be Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylosis).

Despite the name, this overuse injury isn't just for golfers! It commonly affects people involved in:

✅ Sports: Tennis, squash, weight-lifting, or gymnastics.

✅ Activities: Painting, building, or repetitive manual tasks.

The pain results from wear and tear on the tendon connecting your forearm muscle to the inner elbow bone, often due to unaccustomed load, poor technique, or changes in equipment.

Don't let this ni**le become a chronic problem! Early physiotherapy treatment can significantly reduce your pain and stop it from impacting your work and sports life.
