PSA: your body doesn’t know it’s Christmas…
but your physios do 🎄😅

Our holiday hours are on screen 👆
If you’re planning on doing all the things over the break — sport, travel, backyard cricket, gym PRs — make sure you’re sorted beforehand.

We’ll be recharging too, so bookings are limited around the holidays.

See you before the break (or fresh in January).

One thing we don’t talk about enough in rehab…
is that we’ve been here too.

Every physio in our clinic has dealt with injuries.
Tendinopathies.
Flare-ups.
Setbacks that didn’t follow a neat timeline.
We’ve iced things.
We’ve rested things.
We’ve taken time off…
only to feel the pain return the moment we loaded back up.

Not because we did something wrong —
but because rest alone doesn’t rebuild capacity.
The difference came when we stopped asking,
“Is it settled yet?”
and started asking,
“Is it actually ready for load again?”

That shift — from avoiding pain to building tolerance —
is the same process we guide our clients through every day.
This isn’t theory for us.

It’s lived experience.

And it’s why we care so much about doing rehab properly —
not just getting pain down, but getting confidence back.

“If you always do what you’ve always done… you’ll always get what you’ve always got”

Most athletes know this.
Very few actually act on it.
Today’s session was a reminder that change doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from doing what you’ve avoided, ignored or never realised was holding you back.
Hiko came in with recurrent shoulder pain that kept showing up during overhead work and HSPUs.
The easy option? Train around it.
The honest option? Test it, understand it and change the inputs.
When you finally face the weak links — the asymmetries, the mobility gaps, the habits you’ve built under fatigue — everything starts to shift. Strength. Power. Confidence. Longevity.
Small changes.
Different choices.
Better outcomes.
Because nothing changes… unless you do

Tendon pain doesn’t just make training hard.
It gets into your head.
It makes you second-guess every step, every lift, every movement that used to feel effortless.
It makes you hesitate.
It makes you wonder if you’re pushing too far… or not far enough.
It makes you scared of repeating the same cycle again.
And the hardest part?
You can feel fine for days…
until one moment of load, and it’s back.
And suddenly you’re frustrated, confused and wondering if your body is failing you.
But it’s not.
Your body isn’t fragile.
You’re not broken.
You’re not “too old”, “too worn out” or “past it.”
What you’re dealing with is a tendon that’s lost a bit of its tolerance —
not its potential.
And tendons don’t heal by being protected.
They heal by slowly being reminded of what they’re capable of.
Not perfectly.
Not pain-free.
Not all at once.
But gradually… consistently… honestly.
We don’t preach about rules or restrictions.
It’s about giving you clarity when you feel stuck.
A way forward when everything has felt like another setback.
A reminder that progress doesn’t always feel good in the moment —
but it counts.
Every rep.
Every small win.

We may not talk about how much we love Christmas….. but there are signs ❤️

Most running setbacks happen because people base their return on symptom resolution alone, not tissue capacity.

Running produces 2–5× bodyweight of ground reaction force with every step.
Over a 5km run, that’s 6,000–7,000 high-load repetitions.

Pain tells you how something feels.
Load tolerance tells you what your tissues can handle.
These are not the same thing.

A safe and effective return-to-running plan considers:
1. Tissue Capacity
Muscles, tendons and bone adapt to load through mechanotransduction.
When load is reintroduced too quickly, microdamage exceeds repair = irritation, inflammation, flare-ups.

2. Strength Thresholds
Research shows that deficits in calf, quad, hip and trunk strength increase running-related injury risk.
Strength must meet the demands of impact loading before running begins.

3. Impact Management
Factors like cadence, stride length, footstrike and running surface influence loading rate.
ie - A higher cadence (165–180) reduces tibial shock and joint loading.

4. Progressive Loading
Your tissues respond best to gradual, predictable load exposure.
Alternating walk–run intervals, spacing recovery days and tracking RPE all help manage cumulative stress.

5. Symptom Behaviour
We expect some discomfort.
What matters is:
* Does it settle within 24 hours?
* Is irritability low?
* Is there increasing tolerance week to week?

Pain ≠ damage.
Capacity ≠ comfort.

Running readiness sits in the interaction between the two.

A structured return-to-running plan isn’t conservative —
it’s scientific stress dosing to rebuild durability, reduce recurrence and keep you running long-term

Behind the grind 🏋️‍♂️

Prepping for comp isn’t always pretty — it’s sweat, setbacks and small wins stacked daily

This is where champions are built
🔹 Movement screens
🔹 Load testing
🔹 Performance prep
🔹 Physio + mindset dialled in

At Daisy Hill Physio, we’re not just about injury recovery — we’re about performance delivery

👟 Rocker Shoes & Your Walking Mechanics – Do They Really Work? 👟

You’ve probably seen them — shoes with a curved sole, designed to change how your foot rolls through each step.
But do they actually help… or are they just hype? 🤔

Here’s what the latest research says:

✅ They can change how you walk – shifting pressure away from certain joints and tissues, which may help if you have arthritis, plantar heel pain or forefoot issues.

⚠️ They’re not a magic cure – without addressing underlying strength, mobility and movement patterns, the benefits may be short-lived.

💪 Best results? Pair them with a targeted physio program focusing on strength, mobility and gait retraining

Stuck lifting the same weight in your squats?

Let’s fix that

Here are 3 things we always check when progress stalls:
1️⃣ Are you maxing out too often? Constant 90%+ efforts with no structure = burnout or plateau.
2️⃣ Recovery game strong? Your gains come from rest, not just the grind.
3️⃣ Missing key accessories? Weak glutes, poor core, unstable knees — these matter.

Not sure where you're going wrong?
We’ll help you break through the ceiling.
