For the Breast cancer survivor 💗
Reclaiming strength, one stretch at a time.

Focused on easing chest tightness, improving shoulder mobility, and rebuilding posture—because healing isn’t just about recovery, it’s about feeling strong and confident again. ✨

Every small movement is a step forward.

Early gait training after ACL reconstruction surgery is an important component in post surgical rehab 🦵
Emphasis is placed on achieving normalized gait pattern while respecting post surgical precautions.

Key points:
- ✅ Reduction of compensatory patterns
- ✅ Symmetry step length
- ✅ Cueing for proper heel strike and toe-off
- ✅ Gradual progression from brace use to normal free movement

Plantar Fasciitis isn’t just a foot problem — it’s a strength & control problem. 👣🔥

If you want lasting relief, you need to load, mobilize, and retrain your foot — not just stretch it.

Try this sequence:

1️⃣ Toes Elevated Heel Raises
Build strength through the plantar fascia while improving tolerance to load.

2️⃣ Knee + Ankle Rocks (Dorsiflexion Mobilization + Tibialis Raise)
Unlock ankle mobility and activate the front of your shin for better foot mechanics.

3️⃣ Arch Control Balance (Band Pull)
Train your arch to resist collapse — this is where real stability starts.

4️⃣ Toe Piano
Independence = control. Control = less strain on your plantar fascia.

💡 Aim for 2–3 sets of 10 reps each, and 30 seconds for balance
💡 Slow, controlled reps > rushing
💡 Consistency is what actually fixes this

• Spanish Squats 🏋🏻‍♀️ • Slant Board Squats 📐🦵 • Wall Sits ⏱️ • Bulgarian Split Squats 🏋🏻‍♂️
Focus on slow tempo ⏳, controlled depth ⬇️, and progressive loading 📈. Tendons respond best to progressive strength—not complete rest.
Save this for your next knee rehab or lower body session 💪

Active Mobility: Hamstrings 🦵

Hamstring mobility can be progressed by increasing the stability and control demands of the position. This helps in creating sustainable functional mobility.

1️⃣ Supine Active Knee Extension
🛏️ Simple starting position
⚖️ Low lumbopelvic stability and muscular effort required

2️⃣ Seated Active Knee Extension
🪑 Maintain an upright posture
💪🏻 Greater effort to control the leg position

3️⃣ Standing Active Knee Extension
🧍 High lumbopelvic stability demands
⚖️ Greater balance and control required
🔥 Higher effort to maintain position of stretch

Headline: The science of staying on the field. 🧬
Non-contact muscle tears aren’t just “bad luck.” They happen when the demand exceeds the tissue’s capacity. Here is how to build a more resilient athlete:
1️⃣ Dynamic Warm-Up: Static stretching is for recovery. Use dynamic movement to increase core temperature and tissue elasticity before high-intensity efforts. 🌡️
2️⃣ Heavy Eccentrics: Training the muscle while it lengthens (like Nordic Curls) increases fascicle length. This allows your muscles to handle significantly higher tension at long lengths. 🏗️
3️⃣ Neuromuscular Training: It’s about motor control. Refining how your brain recruits muscles ensures stabilizers fire in sync, protecting the primary movers during chaotic movements. 🧠
4️⃣ Load Management: Stay in the “sweet spot.” Overtraining leads to fatigue-related failure, but undertraining leaves your tissue fragile. Use the pre-season to introduce max-velocity sprints—building a ceiling of resilience before the first whistle. 📈
Train for the demands of the game. 🚀

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.
