Feeling tight in your neck, jaw, or pelvis?

Chronic tension can occur when muscles and fascia remain in a heightened state of contraction over time. Stress, posture, or repetitive movements can keep them primed for “fight or flight,” making muscles feel stiff or sensitive. This may influence joint movement, circulation, and even breathing, creating a cycle of discomfort that can be felt far from the original area.

Our physiotherapists are here to help support your movement and ease ongoing tension. Visit https://www.tmphysio.com.au/ to book in today.

In the meantime, you can try gentle at-home strategies:
🌿 Massage tight spots (jaw, shoulders, low back) with your fingers or a massage ball.
🧘‍♂️ Move small joints throughout the day with shoulder rolls, neck turns, and pelvic tilts.

Anything else we should add to this list?

The phases of injury healing 🩹⏳

Recovering from an injury isn’t instant - your body follows a natural timeline. First comes inflammation, where tissues may be swollen, sore, or tender 🔴. This is the body’s way of sending reinforcements, so rest, gentle movement, and avoiding anything that aggravates the area are important.

Next is repair, when new tissue is forming 🧩. Controlled activity, light mobility exercises, and gradual strengthening can support healing safely. Finally comes remodelling, where tissues regain strength and function 💪. Progressive load, functional exercises, and sport- or work-specific movement help rebuild confidence and reduce the risk of reinjury.

Understanding these phases helps you work with your body, not against it, for a safer, smoother recovery ✨. Every injury is unique, so personalised guidance from a physiotherapist can make all the difference. Call 6282 5898 (Deakin) or 6254 9889 (Kippax) to discuss your recovery plan with one of our physiotherapists at TM Physio today!

Exercise of the Month: Glute Bridge

Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat, and arms straight, pointing towards your feet. Lift your hips until shoulders–hips–knees form a straight, diagonal line. Slowly lower, then repeat - building a bridge! And bonus - no tolls or traffic jams on this bridge! 🚧

💡 Why it’s great: Strong glutes and core can support your lower back, improve posture, and help prevent injuries.

Try 10–15 reps, 1–2 sets, a few times a week, making sure you engage your glutes and drive through your heels when you lift your hips. Feeling fancy? Pause at the top or squeeze a small ball between your knees for extra engagement.

And as always, if in doubt - check with us here at the clinic if this exercise is suitable for you.

Our physiotherapists love this one - what’s your favourite move for glutes and core? Share it in the comments 👇

🧠 Supporting recovery in neurological conditions

Stroke, multiple sclerosis, or nerve injuries can affect movement, coordination, and confidence in daily activities. Recovery doesn’t always happen automatically - the nervous system often needs guidance to relearn how to move safely and efficiently.

Our physiotherapists work with you to improve strength, balance, and functional movement, retrain motor control, and support independence. Using evidence-based exercises, assistive strategies, and personalised plans, we help you regain confidence and participate more fully in daily life.

Recovery is a journey, and every small improvement counts. Call 6282 5898 (Deakin) or 6254 9889 (Kippax) to make an appointment with our physiotherapists at TM Physio and receive support tailored to your needs.

💪 Lifestyle tip: Strength before stretch

That “tight” feeling doesn’t always mean a muscle needs stretching. Often, it’s a sign the muscle is under-loaded or lacking control, and your nervous system is tightening things up for protection.

Building strength and control helps joints feel more stable, which can actually reduce that feeling of tightness and improve mobility. That’s why adding just two short resistance sessions a week - using bodyweight, bands, or light weights - can lower injury risk and help you move more freely. Are we saying you shouldn’t stretch - emphatically NO! But stretching works best when paired with strength.

Figuring out what to strengthen, what to stretch, and when, can be confusing. Our physiotherapists and exercise physiologist can assess what your body actually needs and guide you safely.

Call us to make an appointment with our physiotherapists at 6282 5898 (Deakin) or 6254 9889 (Kippax) 📞 We’re here to help you find the strengthening and stretching routine that’s right for you.

⚖️ As we get older, small changes in strength, coordination, or reaction time can increase the risk of falls. Even minor slips can have major consequences, so preventing them is key.

The good news? Simple exercises done regularly can make a big difference.

Try these for safer movement:
🦶 Single-leg stands – hold onto a chair for support if needed, aim for 20–30 seconds each side.
🏃 Heel-to-toe walking – practice walking in a straight line, placing the heel of one foot just in front of the toes of the other.
🪑 Sit-to-stand – slowly rise from a chair and sit back down 10–15 times to strengthen legs and core.
🧘 Heel raises – lift onto your toes and slowly lower, improving ankle stability.
🌀 Gentle weight shifts – sway side to side or forward/back to challenge your balance safely.

Our physiotherapists can tailor these and other exercises to your needs, helping you move confidently and reduce fall risk.
Book a session with one of our physiotherapists at TM Physio today. Call us on 6282 5898 (Deakin) or 6254 9889 (Kippax) to get started. 📞

🪑 Desk Job Survival Guide: a physiotherapist’s top 5 mobility moves

If your job description includes “professional sitter”, this one’s for you. Humans were not designed to fold themselves into a chair for eight hours straight, yet here we are. The good news? A few simple mobility exercises can help undo some of the damage.

Neck rotations to remind your head it’s allowed to move in more than one direction. Thoracic spine rotations to counteract the slow transformation into a question mark. Hip flexor stretches because chairs love tightening them for sport. (Although we won’t judge you if you save these ones for when you’ve got a meeting room to yourself.) Shoulder rolls to reintroduce your shoulders to life outside your ears. And gentle spinal extensions to reassure your back that it still has options.

Do them lightly and often. Your body prefers regular movement snacks over one heroic stretch session at 9pm when you remember you exist.

If desk aches are becoming a daily companion, our physiotherapists can help tailor the right mix of mobility and strength for your body and your work setup.

Call 6282 5898 (Deakin) or 6254 9889 (Kippax) to book an appointment here at TM Physio 📞

Recovery is rarely loud or dramatic. Sometimes it’s one extra step without pain. Sometimes it’s lifting your arm a little higher than last week. Sometimes it’s simply showing up and trying again.

For people recovering from injury, surgery, or living with persistent pain, progress isn’t about smashing PBs. It’s about rebuilding confidence in your body, restoring movement bit by bit, and trusting that consistency beats perfection every time.
Our physiotherapists see this daily. Tiny improvements add up. Nervous systems calm. Muscles relearn. Joints move more freely. What feels small now is often the foundation for much bigger changes later.

So if today’s win feels modest, it still counts. And if you’re unsure what the right next step is, that’s where we come in. Thoughtful, personalised rehab makes progress feel possible again.

Through consistent physiotherapy, you can literally rewire how your body moves. 🧠➡️🏃‍♂️

That’s not just a motivational line; it’s neuroscience. Repeated, well-guided movement helps your brain form new neural pathways, a process called neuroplasticity. In simple terms, your nervous system learns safer, more efficient ways to move, replacing old habits that may have developed after injury, pain, or surgery.

Our physiotherapists use this purposefully. Specific exercises, gradual loading, and repetition help retrain movement patterns, improve coordination, and rebuild trust between your brain and body. Over time, movements that once felt stiff, awkward, or painful can start to feel smoother and more natural again.

If you’re unsure what your body needs right now, call [6282 5898 (Deakin) or 6254 9889 (Kippax) to make an appointment with our physiotherapists or exercise physiologist 📞 - we’ll help you move smarter, safer, and stronger.
