The Olympics just unlocked a whole new exercise library 🇨🇦

Tier 2 introduces higher patellofemoral loading primarily through increased force output, faster loading rates, and greater unilateral demand compared to Tier 1.

🎥 Here we look at double and single leg jump variations (from lowest to highest knee load):

1️⃣ Two-leg repeated lateral jumps
2️⃣ Two-leg repeated forward jumps
3️⃣ Sports-movement jumps
4️⃣ Two-leg maximal forward jump
5️⃣ Two-leg countermovement jump
6️⃣ Alternating split jumps
7️⃣ One-leg repeated forward hops
8️⃣ One-leg repeated lateral hops
9️⃣ One-leg maximal forward hop
🔟 One-leg countermovement hop

These exercises increase eccentric demand and rate of force development, preparing the knee for higher-load jumping and landing tasks in later stages.

The drop jump is a key late-stage rehab test because it loads the stretch-shortening cycle and reveals deficits that strength and hop distance tests often miss – especially post-ACL.

With phone-based 2D-to-3D movement analysis, we can quantify:
• Jump height
• Ground contact time
• Reactive Strength Index (RSI)
• Eccentric-to-concentric ratio
• Side-to-side asymmetry & landing mechanics

Asymmetries here often reflect inadequate plyometric exposure, even when traditional return-to-sport tests have been “passed.”

If you want to know whether you're ready for explosive sport demands, this test is a strong option.

Birthing position can influence comfort and movement during labour.

Our physiotherapist, Katie, highlights two alternative positions that can be used during delivery.

Pelvic health labour prep sessions can help expecting parents understand positioning, breathing, and pelvic floor relaxation ahead of time – so nothing feels unfamiliar when the time comes.

A little (s)elf-care before the year-end chaos. 🎄

Research on patellofemoral joint loading across 35+ weight-bearing exercises provides a clear ranking of movements from lowest to highest load. Tier 1 represents the lowest joint loading and is often used in early rehabilitation or during higher symptom irritability.

Tier 1 Exercises:

1️⃣ Walking
2️⃣ Low step-up
3️⃣ Partial squat (to ~60°)
4️⃣ Low step-down
5️⃣ High step-up
6️⃣ Two-leg repeated lateral jumps (fast)
7️⃣ One-leg repeated forward hops (fast)
8️⃣ Two-leg repeated forward jumps (fast)

These movements form the foundation for gradual, controlled exposure to load before progressing to higher-demand tiers. Keep an eye out for the tier 2 and 3 exercises soon.
