Rich River Physio's Friday Focus

Did you know the way you breathe affects your nervous system?

Your body has two main modes it operates in:

💚 Parasympathetic – rest, digest, repair
❤️ Sympathetic – fight, flight, or freeze

When breathing is slow, controlled, and relaxed, your body shifts into a calmer state:
✔️ Lower heart rate
✔️ Reduced blood pressure
✔️ Relaxed muscles
✔️ A sense of “no worries” and ease

But poor or shallow breathing can keep your body stuck in stress mode:
⚠️ Increased tension
⚠️ Raised heart rate and blood pressure
⚠️ Heightened anxiety, irritability, and fatigue

This is why breathing plays such a big role in:
• Stress and anxiety
• Pain and muscle tension
• Recovery and healing
• Overall wellbeing

At Rich River Physiotherapy, we don’t just look at injuries — we look at how your whole system is functioning. Breathing retraining can be a simple but powerful tool to help your body move from red alert back to calm and in control.

If stress, pain, or tension feels like your “normal”, it might be time to start with your breath.

Concussion

If there’s one thing we’ve learned through years of treating concussions, it’s this: every patient with a concussion also has a neck injury.

Why? Because the forces involved in a concussion don’t just affect the brain - they affect the entire body, especially the neck.

Here’s a quick comparison:

• A concussion requires 70-120 g-forces to occur.
• A neck sprain or strain only requires 4.5 g-forces.

This means that any impact strong enough to cause a concussion will almost certainly affect the neck as well.

Physiotherapy plays an important role in concussion rehab and the treatment of the cervical spine following a head/concussion injury.

If you’ve had a concussion or head injury, contact our clinic on 03 5480 1655 to arrange an assessment or book an appointment online at https://www.richriverphysio.com.au/

Rich River Physio's Friday Focus

Headers and impact on brain injury (Concussion)

Header - head to ball
-is intentional
-strategies should focus on technique acquisition
-limited but emerging evidence that well executed headers are ‘safer’ headers

Unintentional headers -ball to head impact
-Not a skilled based action
-Strategies should focus on reduction and elimination

Heading is a complex skill
There are differences seen between the way women head the ball compared to men. Women tend to close their eyes earlier, and can be seen to header from the top of their heads more, men seem to use their forehead and upper body more, and appear to have more control with where the heading happens.

Important—Head to ball, not ball to head
Reduce the number of headers per practice per month, but concentrate on technique

If you have concerns about concussion, heading technique, or head injury management, please contact our clinic to book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists on 03 5480 1655 or you can book online at https://www.richriverphysio.com.au/

High Ankle Sprain

A high ankle sprain is an injury to the ligaments that connect the tibia and fibula bones above the ankle joint, caused by excessive rotation or force. This is different from a typical ankle sprain and is more serious, often involving pain, swelling, and a longer recovery time. Initial treatment includes RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation), and recovery can take several weeks to months, potentially requiring physical therapy or, in severe cases, surgery.
