If you or anyone you know is suffering from a sports injury give us a call on Kellyville (9672 6752) or Carlingford (9871 2022) today!

Muscle strains are one of the most common sports injuries, often happening in the thigh or calf during activities like soccer or running. These injuries can sideline athletes for weeks and sometimes come back if not treated properly.

A recent study followed athletes with fresh muscle strains. Half began a structured rehab program just two days after their injury, while the other half waited nine days before starting.

Athletes who started rehab early returned to their sport about three weeks sooner than those who waited. Importantly, starting early did not increase the risk of reinjury.

When it comes to muscle strains, waiting around may do more harm than good. Beginning controlled rehabilitation within a couple of days can help athletes recover faster and get back to their sport sooner, without added risks. This highlights just how important early, guided movement is after a muscle injury, rather than prolonged rest or immobilization.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from hip pain give us a call on Kellyville (9672 6752) or Carlingford (9871 2022) today!

If you’ve noticed a dull ache or sharp discomfort on the outside of your hip, especially when lying on your side, walking long distances, or climbing stairs… it could be lateral hip pain. Commonly, it is now referred to as the gluteal syndrome, including the pathology of both gluteal tendinopathy and trochanteric bursitis.

Common Symptoms:
✅ Pain over the outer hip, sometimes radiating down the thigh
✅ Worse when lying on the sore side
✅ Discomfort with prolonged walking or standing
✅ Pain climbing stairs or getting out of the car

Load management is key! Complete rest is actually damaging:
✅ DO:
• Keep active with low-impact exercise (walking, swimming, cycling)
• Use a pillow between your knees when sleeping on your side
• Warm up before exercise and pace your activities
❌ DON’T:
• Cross your legs for long periods
• Sit with knees lower than hips for extended time
• Overstretch the outer hip – this can aggravate symptoms

How Physiotherapy Can Help:
• Identify the root cause of your pain
• Provide tailored strengthening programs for hip & pelvic stability
• Correct movement patterns to reduce strain on the hip
• Use hands-on therapy & education for faster recovery

"Sustained a high grade ankle sprain with near rupture to the ATFL.
Grant and the team was able to provide a clear diagnosis and effective recovery program through structured exercises and massage treatment. The improvements have been exponential since consulting PPS and I'm able to function normally after 7 weeks of physio.
Would definitely return for any future physio needs and high recommended!
Thank you PPS :)" says Tony on Google

Our physiotherapists assess the cause of your wrist pain, target weak or overloaded structures, and guide you through safe progression of exercises, from early mobility to full return to sport or work. Book an appointment at Kellyville (9672 6752) or Carlingford (9871 2022) today!

Wrist pain requires active rehabilitation through movement, strengthening, and gradual loading. This reduces pain and supports a faster return to everyday activities. Relying mainly on passive treatments such as rest, splints, or manual therapy alone can actually delay healing, prolong stiffness, and even worsen long-term outcomes.

Common causes of wrist pain:
· Tendinopathies
· Carpal tunnel syndrome
· Wrist sprains and ligament injuries
· TFCC (triangular fibrocartilage complex) tears
· Post-fracture stiffness or weakness
· Arthritis

These injuries commonly affect people who work at computers, lift repetitively, play sports, or have had a fall onto an outstretched hand.

Research published in the Journal of Hand Therapy (2021) showed that progressive strengthening and neuromuscular control training led to significant improvements in function and pain reduction in individuals with wrist tendinopathies and carpal instability. Pain and function significantly improve when rehab is tailored to an individual’s daily goals and includes sport-specific or task-specific training.
