Is your growing athlete complaining of pain at the bottom of their kneecap?

It could be Sinding-Larsen-Johansson disease, a common overuse injury in teens, especially during growth spurts. Boys tend to be affected more, likely due to higher sports participation ⚽

Symptoms include dull, localised pain, tenderness, and discomfort with running, jumping, squatting, or kneeling. The pain may linger after activity, and the area can be sore to touch 🤕

Treatment focuses on reducing stress on the knee: rest from aggravating activities, ice after exercise, gentle stretches, and supportive taping or physiotherapy.

At Peninsula Sports Medicine Group, our team of physiotherapists can provide the right diagnosis and tailored plan to get your athlete back on track 🦵

Corked thigh slowing you down? 🦵

Quadriceps contusions - better known as corkies - are one of the most common sports injuries, usually caused by a direct impact or collision. Painful, frustrating, and definitely not the kind of cork you want to pop 😂

The good news? They almost never need surgery 🙌

At Peninsula Sports Medicine Group, our physiotherapists treat corkies every day, helping athletes recover and get back into it faster.

Got a corkie? Don’t push through the pain. For bookings 📲 https://www.lifecare.com.au/psm-group/

Elbow pain holding you back at the gym?

If your elbows ache after lifting, pulling, or pressing, you’re not alone 🤕

Elbow joint pain is common among gym-goers and strength athletes but that doesn’t mean you should just “push through" 🚫

Repetitive strain, poor technique, or overtraining can irritate the tissues around your elbow, leading to stiffness, tenderness, or pain that lingers beyond your workout.

Watch for signs like 👇

➡️ Ache on the inside or outside of your elbow

➡️ Pain during or after grip-heavy exercises (think pull-ups, kettlebell swings, snatches)

➡️ Reduced mobility or grip strength

➡️ Swelling or ongoing pain in daily life

If elbow pain is limiting your training, book an appointment with Peninsula Sports Medicine Group today. Let’s keep you strong, moving, and doing what you love - without the ache 💪

💪 Performance: Slower recovery, higher injury risk, reduced muscle repair

🫀 Long-term health: Greater chance of heart disease and diabetes

🆙 Pain & mood: Heightened pain sensitivity and increased risk of mood disorders

Ever wondered, “Why do my joints ache more when it’s chilly?” You’re not alone ❄️

Many people with arthritis notice their pain worsens in winter - but is it fact or just a myth? 🤔

The truth? It depends. For some, cold weather can increase joint pain, but not everyone feels it.

Research suggests it could be due to physical changes, reduced movement in winter, or even psychological factors 🫤

Either way, many people do notice arthritis flare-ups in the cold and there’s some truth to it.

Your best defence? Keep moving! 💪 Exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage arthritis.

At Peninsula Sports Medicine Group, we take a holistic approach to joint health, offering:

➡️ Physiotherapy to relieve pain, improve mobility, and build strength

➡️ Exercise physiology to create safe, effective movement plans

➡️ Myotherapy to release tight muscles and ease soft tissue tension

➡️ Sport & exercise medicine for expert diagnosis and advanced treatment options

➡️ Dietitian support to help reduce inflammation through smart nutrition choices

No matter the season, our team helps you move better, feel better, and live better.

That sharp ache in your elbow after gardening, lifting, typing, or playing sport?

It could be golfer’s elbow or tennis elbow – and despite the names, you don’t need to swing a club or a racquet to get them!

Both are common overuse injuries caused by repetitive strain on the forearm muscles and tendons.

The key difference is WHERE you feel the pain 👇

🎾 Tennis Elbow – pain on the OUTSIDE of the elbow

🏌️‍♂️ Golfer’s Elbow – pain on the INSIDE of the elbow

Left untreated, they can make even simple daily tasks – like opening jars or shaking hands - surprisingly difficult.

In our latest blog, we cover how to tell them apart, the most common causes, and the best treatment options 🔗 https://www.lifecare.com.au/blog/golfers-elbow-vs-tennis-elbow/

· TRADIES HEALTH MONTH ·

August marks Tradies National Health Month (TNHM) - a time to shine a spotlight on the wellbeing of tradies everywhere, whether you are one, work with one, or love one 🛠️

Launched by the APA in 2012, TNHM raises awareness of the vital role physiotherapists play in helping prevent and manage the aches, pains, and injuries that come with physically demanding trades.

Research shows many tradies across Australia live with ongoing pain, which can affect their quality of life, reduce work performance, shorten careers, and contribute to the ongoing shortage of skilled tradespeople.

You can read the APA’s full media release here:

This month, let’s make health and safety on the tools a priority. Stay strong, stay mobile, and stay pain-free - book your appointment today 📲 https://www.lifecare.com.au/psm-group/

Who else was on the edge of their seat during the recent Suncorp Super Netball Grand Final, watching our Melbourne Vixens claim the championship? 🏆

Hamstring Injury? Here’s What You Need to Know...

Hamstring strains are one of the most common reasons athletes miss game time, especially in fast-paced sports like AFL. But not all hamstring injuries are the same.

They’re typically classified into three grades:

👉 Grade 1 - Mild Strain
A little tightness and minor pain. You’ll feel stiff, but walking is still okay.

👉 Grade 2 - Partial Tear
Moderate pain, swelling, and daily activities (like bending down) become a challenge.

👉 Grade 3 - Complete Tear
Severe pain, heavy bruising, and usually no weight-bearing. Ouch 😣

Recovery can range from 3️⃣ weeks to 3️⃣+ months, depending on how serious the injury is. Your age, fitness level, and injury history all play a part too.

The best first step? See a Physiotherapist EARLY. An accurate diagnosis and a personalised rehab plan with Peninsula Sports Medicine Group will get you back to what you love - faster, safer, and stronger 💪
