Meet Molly! is an artist and maker that finds herself contorted in all sorts of weird positions while working on sculptures and relief prints. Today Molly came in about a quad muscle that felt like it was going to snap after any sort of squatting. Physio Arnout assessed and proceeded with the following treatment:
 
First came shockwave therapy to stimulate and promote healing within the muscle. IMS needling followed, and the session ended with TENS. The treatment provided deep tissue release and pain relief. Molly left the office with a delightfully loose left quad, some exercises to help her gain strength, and she felt ready to take on her next art project 🎉
 
At Twin Rinks Physiotherapy, we treat everyone with the same quality of care as high performance athletes. Phone or check out our website to book your appointment today.

Working muscles at different lengths matters.

🔷 Longer Muscle Lengths
✅ More mechanical tension
✅ Supports strength and flexibility

🔷 Shorter Muscle Lengths
✅ Stronger, more efficient contractions

Biceps Example 👇🏻

🕷️ Spider Curls
* Emphasize a deep stretch in the biceps

📖 Preacher Curls
* Emphasize a fully shortened, hard contraction

Train both ends of the range for stronger, healthier muscles.

DESK DISCOMFORT? LET’S FIX IT! 🪑➡️💪🏼

Hours of sitting can leave your shoulders stiff, your upper back tight, and your posture paying the price. These exercises are designed to restore mobility, activate key stabilizers, and get your body moving the way it’s meant to.

The routine:
1️⃣ Banded Openers + Windmill – Open up the chest and shoulders while restoring smooth thoracic rotation. Think tall posture and controlled movement.
2️⃣ Thread the Needle + Band – Improve upper-back mobility while challenging shoulder stability through range. Move slow and stay connected.
3️⃣ Banded Quadruped Protraction – Wake up the serratus and build shoulder control to support better posture at your desk and beyond.
4️⃣ Kettlebell Screwdrivers – Build rotational strength and shoulder endurance to keep your joints resilient, not cranky.

👉 Try 2–3 rounds, 6–10 reps per side, focusing on quality over speed.
If desk work has you feeling stiff or sore, we can help. Have questions? Give us a call or book an appointment with us.

Bulletproof Shoulders 🔥
Build mobility, stability, and strength. These 4 moves prep your shoulders to move better, and stay injury-free. 💪

1️⃣ Thread the Needle (with slide)
Opens your upper back, improves shoulder mobility, and builds rotational stability as you control the reach and slide.
Reps: 3 sets of 8–10 each side

2️⃣ Serratus Wall Slides (with roller)
Lights up the serratus + teaches your shoulder blade to move the way it should for pain-free pressing.
Reps: 3 sets of 10–12 slow slides

3️⃣ Bus Drivers (band)
Builds endurance in small stabilizers that keep humeral head centred. Rotational tension = rock-solid shoulder stability.
Reps: 3 sets of 10–12 each direction

4️⃣ Dynamic Arm Bar
Trains shoulder stability under load improving scapulohumeral rhythm and challenges proprioception.
Reps: 3 sets of 6-8 with medium load

3 Inner Core Progressions 💥

Your deep core deserves more than crunches. 😉

1️⃣ Isometric Dead Bug – build foundational deep core control.
2️⃣ Dead Bug with Dynamic Arms & Legs – challenge stability while moving the limbs.
3️⃣ Dead Bug + Leg Lift with Head/Shoulder Raise – increase load, coordination, and anterior core demand.

These progressions help train the inner core to stay stable while the body moves — a key skill for low-back health, posture, and injury prevention.

✔️ Move slow
✔️ Keep ribs down
✔️ Breathe through the reps

Lumbar disc rehab 💥

1️⃣ Cobra Pose (Prone Extensions)
Opens the front of the spine and reduces disc pressure.
Start low → press up only as far as your back allows without pain.
2️⃣ Sciatic Nerve Floss
Smooth, controlled glides to reduce nerve tension — NOT a stretch.
Move slow. No aggressive pulling.
3️⃣ Bird Dog
Core + lumbar stability.
Keep your hips level and your spine long.
Quality > range.
4️⃣ Traction
Can help decompress the lumbar discs and calm irritated nerves.

✨ Go slow. Stay consistent. Stop if symptoms increase.
✨ Always follow your clinician’s guidance if you’re recovering from a disc injury.

🧘‍♂️ Struggle with sitting cross-legged?
Try these two simple movements to improve comfort and mobility.

✨ 1. Cross-Legged Sit with Spinal Rotation
Sit tall and lengthen your spine.
Use your arms to gently assist rotation.
Take 8-10 deep nasal breaths per side.

✨ 2. Active Cross-Legged Sit
Sit tall with your spine long and pelvis slightly forward.
Keep your trunk upright and gently pull your knees toward the floor.
Take 8-10 deep nasal breaths here too.

💡 Tip: Sitting on a yoga block makes both positions easier and helps you maintain posture.
