“But their training hasn’t changed…”

Exactly.
But growth has.

Growth = higher energy demands.
No fuel = slower recovery and higher injury risk.

Pain isn’t always a training error.
Sometimes it’s a fuelling problem.

If rehab isn’t sticking, let’s look at the full picture.

Training hasn’t changed.
But pain has. ⚠️

During growth spurts, young athletes need more fuel just to keep up with what their body is doing internally — before training even starts.

If nutrition doesn’t match growth + sport, we often see:
• Knee pain
• Heel pain
• Shin pain
• Ongoing niggles that won’t settle

It’s not always overtraining.
Often, it’s under-fuelling 🍽️

As physios, we can cover basic nutrition considerations where growth, load, and recovery overlap — but we don’t replace sports nutrition experts. 👥

🎄 Staff Christmas Party 2025 — Axe Throwing Edition! 🎯🪓

Nothing brings a physio team together like… throwing sharp objects at a wall?

We kicked off our Christmas celebrations with an afternoon of axe throwing, plenty of banter, and just enough competitive spirit to make things interesting — followed by dinner at Foghorn to refuel after all that “athletic performance.” 😅

🔥 Highlight of the day:
Maddy (Matt Koch’s partner) officially taking out Most Improved, then somehow — through a deadly combo of technique, determination, and a LARGE dose of luck — knocking out the favourites and claiming 1st place!

A true Christmas miracle. ✨

The rest of us? We had a blast, shared plenty of laughs, and walked away with all fingers and toes still attached, which honestly feels like the biggest win of the night.

Big thanks to the whole crew for another amazing year. ❤️💪

Now… back to helping our patients throw things less dangerously.
