“How to fight neck pain 👊”

Your neck holds up a 5–6kg head all day - no wonder it gets tired, tight, and sore.

Most people stretch it… but forget to strengthen it.

Try this:

🟩 2-second banded isometric holds - teach your neck to stabilise under load

🟩 Shrugs - build the traps and postural muscles that support your neck

Do 5–6 quick holds each direction before your shrugs.

You’ll feel stronger, more supported, and far less tight.

📍At Physio Athletic, we fix the cause — not just the symptoms. Book an appointment via the link in the bio.

“Do all ACL tears need surgery?”

Here’s a case that challenges that belief 👇

One of my clients tore his ACL and meniscus, but through structured rehab we’ve rebuilt him to the point where he can now:

✅ Jump and land with control
✅ Bound, turn and lateral hop pain-free
✅ Outperform his non-injured leg in strength tests

He’s back to running and wakeboarding - with no instability or pain.

This shows that not every ACL rupture automatically needs reconstruction.

With the right assessment, structured strength and neuromuscular control, and progressive criteria-based rehab, some individuals can regain full stability and function naturally.

It’s important to note:

🔹 Not every ACL tear will heal or cope without surgery
🔹 Tear pattern, activity level, and knee stability all matter
🔹 You need structured testing and expert guidance before making that call

At Physio Athletic, we use objective testing (VALD force plates + dynamometers) to track progress and guide decision-making - so recovery isn’t just based on “feel”, but real performance data.

If you’ve been told you “need surgery” - get assessed properly first.

The right rehab approach might surprise you.

Lymphatic drainage - more than just relaxation.

This gentle, rhythmic technique supports one of the most important (and often overlooked) systems in the body - the lymphatic system.

By stimulating lymph flow, it helps your body clear excess fluid, waste, and toxins more efficiently. The result?
• Reduced swelling and inflammation
• Faster recovery after injury or surgery
• Improved circulation and immune function
• Relief from tightness, heaviness, or water retention

And beyond the recovery benefits, it also has noticeable aesthetic effects - reducing puffiness, improving skin tone, and giving the body a more defined, contoured appearance.

Whether you’re recovering from training, managing post-op swelling, or simply want to look and feel lighter - lymphatic drainage can make a real difference.

👉 Book your session at Physio Athletic and experience the benefits for yourself.

Achilles Rehab - 4 Things You Must Do to Return to Sport

Rehab isn’t just about doing calf raises - it’s about rebuilding strength, control, and elasticity through every stage of recovery.
Here’s what needs to be in your plan 👇

1️⃣ Heavy Isometric Holds (Toe Press on Leg Press)
Short, heavy holds (3–5 seconds) help reduce pain by desensitising the tendon and building early load tolerance. They safely activate the calf complex while the tendon heals, preparing it for heavier work.

2️⃣ Heavy Slow Eccentrics (Smith Machine Calf Lowering)
Controlling the lowering phase builds true tendon strength and stiffness - essential for absorbing high forces during running, jumping, or pushing off. Eccentrics realign tendon fibres and improve load capacity.

3️⃣ Co-Contractions (Soleus Slouch)
These train your calf and ankle muscles, hamstrings and glutes to fire together under controlled tension. This improves joint stability and control during deceleration, balance, and direction changes - the bridge between strength and dynamic work.

4️⃣ Plyometrics
Explosive jumping, hopping, and skipping reintroduce the fast, elastic qualities your tendon needs for sport. This is where strength turns into performance - reactive power, stiffness, and resilience.

⚠️ It’s important to get an assessment with a physiotherapist to ensure the right exercises and progressions are prescribed - not every exercise shown here will suit every stage of recovery.

At Physio Athletic, we use VALD technology to objectively measure strength and guide your rehab progressions safely and effectively.
