We’ve been taught that if something hurts more, it must be working.
More sweat.
More pain.
More grind.
But intensity without direction is just noise.
In rehab and training, progress isn’t about how hard a session feels —
it’s about whether the stress applied actually moves you forward.
You can suffer without adapting.
You can work hard without getting better.
Effort matters.
But intent matters more.
Don’t overtrain yourself into low energy or an injury

Most people think confidence is something you feel before you act.
In reality, it’s something you earn after.
Every tough rehab phase you didn’t quit.
Every session you showed up for when motivation was low.
Every setback you adapted around instead of avoiding.
That’s evidence.
When someone tells me they’ve “lost confidence,” it’s rarely true.
They’ve just forgotten their own receipts.
You don’t need a new mindset.
You need to remember what you’ve already survived.

Athletes don’t need “rest-only” rehab.
They need rehab that respects the sport they’re returning to.
When rehab matches demand,
confidence returns — and so does performance.

Motivation is unreliable.
Momentum isn’t.
This is one of the biggest reasons people struggle to return to training after injury, time off or Christmas breaks — they wait to feel ready.
In rehab, confidence doesn’t come before movement.
It comes from movement.
We see it in our clients.
We’ve lived it ourselves.
You don’t need a perfect plan or a huge restart.
You need a small, repeatable step that builds momentum again.
That’s how confidence returns.
That’s how pain settles.
That’s how people actually move forward.

Still powering through 💪

While most are winding down after the Christmas chaos, our team is still here — showing up, supporting and keeping our clients moving strong.

Whether it’s recovery, training or just getting through the week, we’ve got your back (and knees and shoulders... you get it 😅).

Grateful for this crew who always put care first — even during the “quiet” week

This time of year brings a lot of unnecessary anxiety.
People worry that a few weeks off over Christmas will undo months or years of hard work — especially if they’re already managing an injury or have had time away from training.
The research tells a different story.
Training leaves a biological imprint.
Your body keeps a form of “memory” of past effort. Fitness may dip, but the foundation remains.
We see this every January in clinic.
And we’ve lived it ourselves.
As clinicians — and as people who train — we’ve had injuries, breaks and imperfect seasons. What surprises people most isn’t how much they’ve lost… it’s how quickly their body responds when they return gradually and with intent.
Christmas isn’t a reset button.
It’s a pause.
January isn’t starting from zero.
It’s continuing from a base you already earned.
Trust the work you’ve done.
Your body remembers

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.

👟 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
