PCL Rehab ⚽️

Unlike the ACL, the PCL has a better capacity to heal conservatively, so rehab often focuses on quadriceps strengthening to compensate for posterior laxity and prevent excessive stress on the ligament.

Key principles include:
• Protecting the PCL: Avoiding posterior tibial translation (e.g., deep squats, hamstring-dominant exercises) in early rehab.
• Strengthening the Quadriceps: The quads help counteract the backward pull of the tibia, reducing strain on the PCL.
• Gradual Progression of Load: Emphasizing closed-chain exercises, controlled range of motion, and proprioceptive training.
• Avoiding Aggravating Movements: Such as open-chain hamstring curls, which can increase posterior tibial translation.
• Sport-Specific Training: Ensuring proper mechanics before returning to high-impact activities.

This is for my existing clients:

Thank you for trusting me with your body and the rehab journey in the past 5 years. I’d like to share something that’s very special and important to me.

In the past 6 to 12 months, I’ve been gradually coming out in my personal life as a transman. And I’d like to continue to build genuine and honest connections with all my clients who come to Breathe.

My wish is that everyone can live a life that’s true to themselves so I must start by being true to myself. I’d like you to see me as he/him. Most importantly, I’m still the Winnie you know and I’m always open for any chats.

Late Stage ACL Rehab

Return to running, agility, jumping and hopping are the main focus in the phase 3 of the ACL rehab protocol with continual progression doing strength training (aiming x1.8 BW for SL press and squat) in the gym.

This is where the player commences change of direction training and supervised modified game play.

The knee should also be relatively swelling and pain free and the importance of correct deceleration and landing techniques from a jump is emphasised.

A good reminder to rest and recover during this phase as many of the exercises require eccentric contraction of the lower limb muscles.

Shirley: these are my lovely client's 'before and after' shots. Swipe to see when she first started in June. This is after 30 sessions of one on one Pilates. I'm so proud of her hard work 🌟👍🌟👌🌟

🌟 Being a Pilates instructor is not just about teaching your clients the latest cool exercise on the Reformer. In fact it's completely the opposite: we start from the most basic and 'boring' movements like activating the core muscles, keeping a neutral spine, activating the gluteal muscles, hip hinges, thoracic extension, etc etc

And the tiniest change to your feet placement, the curve of your spine and the angle of your wrist, the way you breathe can make a huge amount of difference to muscle activation and control.

We observe your movements with a keen eye - we change the way we cue each exercise to appeal to the way you absorb information - it all starts with these small but important details.

🏆🏆🏆 We all get to be part of a team at some point in our lives. Often teams are formed from strangers who come together to achieve a common goal. It's not the easiest thing to do, and needs organisation, leadership, but most of all, motivated individuals who act for the greater good.

Winnie was part of such a fantastic indigenous football team - SEQ Serpents - again this year in the First Nations Indigenous Football Cup. Good job everyone!😀

[Taipei 2020. Shirley & Winnie's grandma.]♥️

I was speaking to a 74yo client the other day, and she said "It is only when I started to have these health problems that I realised - health is everything. And you gotta look after your health no matter what." ♥️

When I first met Winnie's grandma, she's a fierce but kind lady who openly accepted everything about her grandchild. Sadly, grandma now lives with dementia. We will never get another moment like this when she's totally lucid. ♥️

So look after your health, because there's nothing more precious or important.♥️
