Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis - be Painfree!

Heel pain when you first get out of bed or after sitting a while? 🦶🌅

It could be Plantar Fasciitis—one of the most common causes of heel pain. While you feel it in the foot, the drivers often sit higher up the posterior chain: tight calves, hamstrings and glutes can all load the plantar fascia. Our team looks at the whole lower body to find the real cause, not just the sore spot. 🔎

In our latest blog we explain what the plantar fascia does, why it gets irritated, and how to settle symptoms and stop flare-ups. You’ll learn simple stretches (calf, hamstring, foot roll-outs) and strengthening work (towel scrunches, calf raises, glute bridges, core) to restore support through the arch and improve mechanics. We also cover footwear choices 👟 and when to see a podiatrist—so you can walk, run and live without that sharp morning sting. 🚶‍♂️💪

Breathe easier with the right exercise 🫁💪

Chronic respiratory disease (like asthma and COPD) can sap energy, limit activity, and affect quality of life. The good news: smart, structured exercise can help you move more, breathe better, and feel stronger. Research shows aerobic work, resistance training, intervals, and even aquatic exercise can lift fitness, improve lung function, and reduce breathlessness. 🚶‍♂️🏊‍♀️

Start with a plan that matches your capacity, then build gradually: short walks that feel “somewhat breathless,” simple strength circuits, and mobility work on most days. Add rest when you’re unwell, and pause if you notice warning signs like chest pain, severe dizziness, or an irregular heartbeat. For some people, using prescribed oxygen or bronchodilators during training can make sessions more comfortable and effective. ⚠️

Training on unstable surfaces—worth it? Short answer: yes, when you use it smartly. 🏋️‍♀️⚖️

Bosu balls, wobble boards and Swiss balls can boost core strength, balance, proprioception and functional movement. They’re great as accessories to your program—think added stability work for athletes and everyday gym-goers alike. Just remember, instability complements heavy lifting; it doesn’t replace it. 🧠

Best ways to use it: start with moderate instability, focus on technique, choose dumbbells/kettlebells/bodyweight over barbells, and progress gradually from simple to complex moves. Try Swiss-ball hamstring curls, Bosu squats, single-arm DB press on a Swiss ball, slider body saws, and lateral lunges with sliders. 💪

Exercise Physiology Balwyn for Improving health, strength, rehabilitation and wellbeing!

It can be tough to stay active when winter hits, but it's more important than ever for your physical and mental health! ❄️ Keeping active boosts your immune system, sharpens your brain, and lifts your mood, helping you fight off those winter blues.

Here’s how you can beat the chill and stay moving: ⛹️

Set Goals: Reflect on your current activity levels and set achievable goals based on the Australian Department of Health's guidelines (30 mins moderate or 15 mins vigorous activity per day).

Move Indoors: Take stretching breaks, walk around your home, or try online workout videos for strength and flexibility.

Incidental Activity: Opt for the stairs, walk to the shops, or park further away to get extra steps in!

Stay Accountable: Use wearable trackers or a paper-based system to record your progress.

Seek Support: If you're struggling, consider speaking with an accredited Exercise Physiologist for a tailored routine.

Don't let the cold stop you from feeling great! For more details and strategies, check out the full blog post on our website.

The Muscle-Mind Connection: How FOCUS Can Boost Your Results 💪🔥🧠

Ever been told, “Think about the muscle you’re working”? That’s the muscle-mind connection in action. By focusing on the muscles you’re engaging—whether you’re squatting, curling, or working on rehab—you can increase activation, improve strength, and reduce injury risk. Research shows this mental focus pays off big time for muscle growth, performance, and overall movement quality.

Slow down your reps, visualise which muscles you’re targeting, and feel the difference. It’s not about lifting the heaviest weight; it’s about lifting with intent. By being mindful, you’ll activate more muscle fibres and get better results.

Ready to tap into the power of the muscle-mind connection?
