Australian Open season is here! 🎾
But “tennis elbow” usually has very little to do with tennis.

It’s most often a load-related tendon issue caused by repetitive gripping and wrist use; at work, in the gym, or during everyday tasks.

The best approach isn’t complete rest.
It’s smart load management + progressive strengthening, sometimes supported by hands-on treatment to help you tolerate rehab.

If elbow pain has been lingering longer than it should, it’s worth getting it assessed!

Massage feels good - but there’s a reason why ⬇️

It can help reduce pain sensitivity, ease muscle tension, and calm the nervous system - which often makes movement feel easier and safer in the short term.

That’s why massage works best as part of a bigger plan.
Hands-on care can open the door… movement and rehab are what make the change stick.

Think of massage as the reset, not the whole solution.

Happy New Year 🎉

Here’s to fewer “I’ll deal with it later” moments and more proactive energy in 2026!

No pressure to be perfect.
No need to start from scratch.
Just small decisions that add up over time.

Strength work is one of the biggest competitive advantages a runner can give themselves. 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

High-quality research shows that strength training:
• Improves running economy in distance runners (Balsalobre-Fernández et al. 2016; Blagrove et al. 2018)
• Reduces overuse injury risk when done consistently (Lauersen et al. 2014)

If you’re only logging kms, you’re missing half the equation.

Think your “shin splints” will just go away if you push through?
Here’s a real example of why early assessment matters.

A recreational runner came in with what they thought was just overtraining soreness. Focal shin pain, worse with impact, random night pain… and a positive hop test.
MRI confirmed a tibial stress fracture.

So what actually happened next?

👉 The injury was a low-risk posteromedial tibial stress fracture
This matters because low-risk sites usually recover well with smart load management and don’t always need a boot.
(Yes - we considered one. It wasn’t required because walking was comfortable and load could be controlled.)

👉 We stopped running, but didn’t stop training
Bike, pool running and targeted strength allowed fitness to stay high while bone load came down.

👉 We fixed the underlying issues
Calf/soleus strength deficits, recent speed-session spikes and energy availability were all addressed.

👉 Return to running was graded and criteria-based
Pain-free walking → pain-free hopping → walk–run intervals → continuous runs → speed.

Outcome:
Back to 5 km continuous running by week 7 and full training by week 10 with no flare-ups.

If you run, here’s the big takeaway:

Pain that is focal, progressive or doesn’t settle with rest is NOT “normal running pain.”
Early assessment changes the timeline.

Does running ruin your knees?

Research says probably not - recreational runners actually have lower rates of knee OA than non-runners.

Most “runner’s knee” pain comes from poor training load.

To keep your knees happy:
• Build volume gradually
• Add 2x/week strength training
• Mix surfaces + pace
• Get niggles checked early

Running isn’t the problem, load management is.

Some snaps from our sports trainer and new grad physio strapping and taping course we ran on Saturday, a great turn out and an even better feedback from our attendees! We are delighted to be giving something back to our young Physio’s and sports trainers coming through the ranks. We are looking forward to building on this course and delivering it again later on in the year for those on our waiting list who missed out! 🙌

•This course is designed to make 3rd & 4th year physio students proficient at taping and feeling confident in a sports trainer role or team setting. ⛹️‍♀️

•Aimed at bridging the gaps seen in new grad and second year Physio’s in the application of various taping techniques for a number of pathologies that can be immediately implemented into treatment planning making new grad and young Physio’s more comfortable in the clinical setting.🧑‍⚕️

•Explaining and understanding the various types of tape, their applications, biomechanical considerations and clinical reasoning for and when applying it.👨‍🔬🤓
