✨Your Calf Muscles Are Your Second Heart — Here’s Why 🦵❤️

Most people think heart health is all about cardio workouts and diet. But did you know your calf muscles, especially the gastrocnemius and soleus, play a vital role too?

Every time you walk, fidget, stand on tiptoe, or rise up on your toes, your calf muscles contract.
This action creates a muscle pump that helps push blood upward against gravity, aiding in what’s known as venous return circulation.

Without this calf pump working properly, your legs have a hard time sending blood back to your heart.
That’s when problems start:
• 🩸 Poor leg vein health
• 🩸 Blood starts pooling in your lower limbs
• 🩸 Increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• 🩸 Swelling, fatigue, and even vascular strain

💡 This is why physiotherapy often targets circulation.
It includes specific exercises that stimulate blood flow in the lower limbs — especially important for those who sit for long periods or have limited movement.

If you use a standing desk, sit for long hours, or deal with limited mobility, this message is for you.

Even small, daily movements can bring big improvements in calf function. This not only improves leg comfort but also supports your entire cardiovascular system.

🔍 Your vascular health isn’t just about your heart — it’s also about how you move.

Let this be your functional anatomy reminder of the day:
Your second heart (your calves) need to move. 🙌👌✨

✨🪑 Is your posture silently reshaping your body and causing pain?✨
⠀
This powerful image reminds us just how much prolonged sitting can affect your whole body — not just your spine. Hours spent hunched at a desk, slouched on the couch, or bent over your phone could be teaching your body all the wrong lessons. Over time, your muscles and joints begin to believe this is your “new normal.”

At BM Physio, we see this every day — people walking in with:
✔️ Back stiffness
✔️ Hip tightness- limiting your mobility and altering how you walk or train
✔️ Neck strain
✔️Poor leg circulation – causing swelling, heaviness, and muscle fatigue
✔️ Reduced mobility and energy levels

But the good news? You can change it — and we’re here to help.

💡 What we do at BM Physio:
🔹 Hands-on release for tight hip flexors and lower back
🔹 Tailored rehab programs to activate your core and glutes
🔹 Postural retraining and ergonomic advice
🔹 Mobility sessions to unlock your spine
🔹 Movement coaching that fits your real lifestyle

✨Small shifts in movement can lead to BIG changes in how you feel. You don’t have to accept pain as part of your daily sitting routine.

📍Book an assessment and let’s help your body move freely again.

✨A thought-provoking read. 🧠🔍✨

This study led by respected orthopaedic surgeon Prof. Stefan Lohmander and colleagues challenges long-held assumptions about ACL management. It shows that a fully ruptured ACL can demonstrate natural healing capacity — and, notably, that patient-reported outcomes were better in the non-surgical cohort compared to those who underwent reconstruction.

Definitely worth a read for clinicians and anyone facing the decision between surgery and conservative management.

✨💚 Meet the Founder – Bruna I. Manzoli 💚✨

Principal Physiotherapist & Owner of BM Physio

Bruna is the heart behind BM Physio – a space born from over 13 years of hands-on experience in RM and physiotherapy, a deep passion for movement, and a love for helping people move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.

This month marks one year 🥳🥳🥳 of fully dedicating myself to this project, and I couldn’t be happier or more fulfilled. After years of working across different clinics and settings, I made the leap to focus solely on this space—my dream, my passion, and my commitment to you.

With a special interest in hip and shoulder rehabilitation, my approach blends functional strength, manual therapy, dry needling, and education – empowering clients to take charge of their recovery.

Over the years, I’ve worked across diverse settings – from remedial therapy and aged care to clinical rehab. It took four years of perseverance to have my physiotherapy degree recognised in Australia, and I’ve now been practicing as a registered physio here for three years. The past year has been all about building BM Physio with heart and purpose. 🥳

Outside the clinic, I’m a proud mum of two boys and a cheeky fur baby 🐶. I’m passionate about fitness, yoga, running – and still dream of catching waves again one day 🏄‍♀️

⸻

My key interests include:
🟢 Hip and shoulder injuries
🟢 Movement re-education & strength rehab
🟢 Postural pain and tension
🟢 Dry needling and hands-on therapy
🟢 Sports injuries and return to sport
🟢 Women’s health and postnatal recovery
🟢 Holistic management of injuries and chronic pain
🟢 Nutritional support in rehab

⸻

At BM Physio, I blend clinical care with compassion – helping every patient feel seen, supported, and stronger than before. 💫

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 💚

✨💉Dry Needling & Upper Traps & Rotator Cuff: Releasing Tension, Restoring Function ✨👌

Our upper traps and rotator cuff muscles work hard—whether we’re lifting weights, reaching overhead, sitting at a desk, or pushing through daily tasks. Overuse, poor posture, and repetitive movements often lead to tightness, inflammation, and pain in these areas.

That’s where dry needling comes in.👌🙌

By targeting trigger points deep within these overworked muscles, dry needling helps:
• Relieve muscle tension
• Reduce local inflammation
• Restore normal movement patterns
• Improve performance and recovery

This approach is not just about pain relief—it’s about creating space for the muscles to activate properly and work more efficiently.
