They call him 00Cohen and he’ll take his martini dry!

Jason breaks down the benefits of shockwave therapy In short, it’s a treatment that uses targeted sound waves to stimulate healing in stubborn injuries — especially things like tendon pain, plantar fasciitis and chronic muscle issues.

It helps improve blood flow, encourages tissue repair and can get things moving again when an injury has been hanging around longer than it should.

It might sound a little intense (the name doesn’t help 😅), but it’s a well-established treatment that we use regularly for athletes and patients dealing with persistent pain.

If something has been bothering you for a while, it might be worth a chat with your physio. Book online at www.wpphysio.capetown

Back to the Monday grind… and for many of us, that also means back to tech neck.

Hours at a laptop or phone tend to overload the muscles at the base of the neck and shoulders — especially the upper trapezius and levator scapulae — which often leads to stiffness, headaches and poor posture.

Try these three simple exercises to loosen those muscles. Hot tip! It’s best to warm a muscle before stretching (use a bean bag or take a hot shower):

1. Upper traps stretch: Helps release tension in the muscles that carry a lot of the load when we sit hunched over a screen.

2. Levator scapulae stretch: Targets the deeper neck stabiliser that often gets tight with poor desk posture.

3. Deep neck flexor activation: This one is key. It strengthens the deep support muscles in the neck, which can help reduce pain and disability when trained consistently.

Happy birthday to our man Yusuf! 🎉

If you’ve ever had a sports massage at our De Waterkant practice, you’ll know exactly why he’s such a legend around here. Whether it’s tight calves, stubborn shoulders or post-training soreness, Yusuf somehow always finds the spot that needs the most attention.

Thanks for keeping everyone moving, recovering and coming back for more (even when the massage gets a little… intense). 😅

Hope you have a great day, Yusuf!

Cyclists — before race day, can you actually pass these three tests?

🚴🏾‍♂️Step Down Test: A great way to look at knee and hip stability. If the knee collapses inward or the movement feels unstable, it can highlight weakness or control issues that could show up during long rides.

🚴🏾‍♂️Functional Threshold Power Ramp Test: This test gradually increases workload until exhaustion. It helps estimate your maximum aerobic power and cycling capacity, which is widely used by elite cycling programs to monitor performance.

🚴🏾‍♂️The Talk Test: Simple but effective. If you can still talk comfortably while riding, you’re likely still within your aerobic threshold — the foundation of endurance performance.
These quick checks can reveal a lot about strength, stability and endurance before you line up on race day.

Nice one, Umar 👏

And if that’s you, well…. Glad we can help 🤣🤣

Dry Needling: More than just a "pointy" situation! 📍✨

Have you ever wondered what’s actually happening when we use those tiny needles? It might look like magic (or a very small acupuncture session), but it’s actually pure science!

Swipe through to see 3 ways dry needling helps you move better and heal faster:

1️⃣ Boosts Circulation: Getting that oxygen where it needs to go.
2️⃣ Speeds Up Recovery: Saying goodbye to those stubborn muscle knots.
3️⃣ Restores Mobility: Helping you find your full range of motion again.

Have you tried it yet? Let us know your experience in the comments! 👇
