SMOs (Supramalleolar Orthoses) 👣✨

Ever noticed your child rolling their feet in, tripping a lot, or getting tired quicker than other kids? You’re not alone—and it’s something we see all the time 💭

So, what are SMOs?
They’re small, custom-made braces that sit just above the ankle and give a bit of extra support where it’s needed—without stopping kids from moving, running, and playing 🤍

What do they help with?
• Keeping little feet in a better position 🦶
• Improving balance + confidence ⚖️
• Making walking and running feel easier 🏃‍♂️
• Taking pressure off growing feet and legs 🌱

Who might they help?
• Kids with flat feet or developmental delay
• Little ones who seem a bit wobbly or clumsy
• Kids who tire easily on their feet or have a history of low muscle tone
• Those who just need a bit of extra support day-to-day

Why it matters 💡
When movement feels easier, kids are more likely to stay active, keep up with their friends, and enjoy being on their feet 😊

Every child is different—sometimes it’s nothing to worry about, and sometimes a little support can make a big difference.

If you’re not sure, we’re always happy to have a look 👀

Is posture really the problem? 👥

The truth is, there is no perfect posture.

There is no one position your body needs to stay in all day.

The real issue is often a lack of variety.

It is sitting still for too long.

It is standing the same way for hours.

It is staying in one position without movement or support.

Your body is built to move.

It responds best when positions change often throughout the day.

We also need strength and tolerance.

Strong muscles help support different postures.

Good tolerance helps your body stay comfortable for longer.

This means the goal is not perfect posture.

The goal is having more options.

Move often.

Change positions regularly.

Build strength.

Give your body variety.

At Brisbane Physiotherapy and Podiatry, we help people reduce pain, improve movement and build confidence in their bodies.

Need support with neck pain, back pain or desk posture discomfort?

We are here to help!!

Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy? 🤰🏻

For most women, yes.

Staying active during pregnancy can be safe and highly beneficial when guided correctly.

Exercise can help improve energy levels.

It can reduce back pain and pelvic discomfort.

It may support better sleep.

It can help manage stress and mood.

It also prepares the body for labour and recovery after birth.

The key is choosing the right type of movement for each stage of pregnancy.

Walking, strength training, Pilates, swimming and mobility work are often great options.

Every pregnancy is different.

Some women may need to modify exercise based on symptoms, medical history or pregnancy complications.

This is where personalised care matters.

At Brisbane Physiotherapy and Podiatry, our WomenMs Health Physio, Kathryn can guide you with safe pregnancy exercise, pelvic floor support and treatment for aches and pains along the way.

If you are unsure where to start, we are here to help.

Strong mums start with supported movement 🤍

It’s easy to think your MRI or scan has all the answers.
But here’s the reality - it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

We often see people with “abnormal” findings who have no pain at all…
And others with significant pain, but very little showing on imaging.

Why?

Because pain is influenced by more than just structure 👇

• How much load your body is handling
• How you’re moving day to day
• Your training history and recovery
• Even things like stress and sleep

A scan can show what’s there…
But it doesn’t tell us how well your body is coping.

That’s where a proper assessment matters.

At Brisbane Physio & Podiatry, we look at the full picture.
How you move, how you load, and what your body needs to build capacity again.

Because understanding your injury is one thing…
Having a clear plan to move forward is what actually gets results.

If you’ve been told your scan is the problem but things still aren’t improving.

let’s take a better look.

Stop stretching your Achilles 🚫 — it might be making things worse.

Achilles tendon pain (Achilles tendinopathy) isn’t a flexibility problem — it’s a load management problem.

When the tendon is already irritated, aggressive stretching can:
• Increase compression at the tendon
• Delay healing
• Keep you stuck in that “always tight” cycle

What actually helps:
• Gradual loading 🏋️‍♂️
• Controlled strengthening 💪
• Patience with progression 📈

If your calves feel tight, try:
• Foam rolling
• Trigger ball work

Tight doesn’t always mean “needs stretching.”
Sometimes it means “needs strength.” 💡

Save this before your next calf stretch 📌

Most “tennis elbow” isn’t from tennis.

It builds over time — from small things that add up.

→ Too much load… or not enough capacity
→ Repetitive gripping, day after day

That’s why it keeps coming back.

Not because it’s “tight”.

Not because you need more rest.

But because the real driver hasn’t been addressed.

At Brisbane Physiotherapy & Podiatry, we look at the full picture — so you’re not left guessing what to do next.

Because when you understand your pain, you move with confidence.

Treatment matters, however clarity matters more.

You shouldn’t be left guessing.

Feeing seen and heard changes everything. When you actually understand your pain or injury. You sto second guessing every movement.

You feel in control.

Knowledge creates confidences which creates compliance in the program. Trusting the process and sticking to the plan. This is where results are made.

It’s important you understand what’s going on and why you are doing what you are doing.

To us, you’re not just another injury. You’re someone who deserves to feel understood.
