Now we are doing 180s 🤯 No stick, no help!

Andy also managed to negotiate 2 footpaths with curves, 90 degree turns and hills!! We couldn't get a video as we both had to stand very close for that but it was amazing and he didn't need any physical assistance! 🔥🛹

Watch this space as we up it a level in the new year post bone density scan and protective equipment acquisition. 💪

If you're going to skate, you're going to fall. 🛹

This takes practice to fall properly, to not injure yourself badly.

Here we are starting to practice falling on to the strong side and doing a roll motion to absorb the kinetic energy to prevent broken bones.

Next we will practice on a large trampoline area then on yoga mats on the grass (once we get the bone density scan back to ensure it is safe to do so). 🙌

If you're a skating pro we would love any feedback or suggestions to make this safer or to try. 😁

Do you train falling with your clients? 🤔

Every session... I am so impressed by Andy!

Look at this legend continuing to absolutely smash it! 🛹🎉

Yesterday I was problem solving how to replicate the lateral movement and "slip"of the skateboard when stepping on and off and steering. Something not quite as difficult as wheels, but harder than rubber tubes gripping the floor.

I decided to use a slide sheet, folded over underneath the tubes.

This is a very slippery material designed for reducing friction on the surface and is commonly used to assist to move people in the bed who cannot move themselves, but we use it a lot for therapy as well. ✨️

This was the perfect addition! 🎉 It was quite challenging but the perfect next step to continue to work toward independent skateboarding. 🛹🙌

Please note this exercise is definitely only to be done with the physio for now.

He did it!! 🎉🎉🎉

Today we did a trial run on an actual skateboard on the cycle path and Andy absolutely crushed it. 💪 He surprised us all and himself by being able to balance on the skateboard, propel himself with his hiking pole and steer to stay on the left side of the path! 🤯 He needed help stabilising the board to get on safely and we had the Gait Belt on (with safety loops to grab) just in case he was to fall or lose his balance. We also had to do a fair bit of prep work including some release on the grass as his calf and quads were quite tired from the pool yesterday. 💪
So excited to see Andy progress with his skating goal! 🎉🙌🛹

Even a “mild” concussion is still a brain injury.

Early assessment can rule out serious complications and help you recover faster. 🧠

If in doubt, get checked! Your brain will thank you later.

What is Dystonia?

Dystonia happens when the brain sends the wrong messages to your muscles, causing them to contract or twist involuntarily. It can affect any part of the body; most often the neck, face, or hands.

It’s not weakness, stress, or “just tension.” It’s a neurological movement disorder that changes how your brain communicates with your body.

🇦🇺 In Australia, cervical dystonia (affecting the neck) is the most common type seen in clinics. Research here shows many people live for years before getting a diagnosis, partly because symptoms vary and can mimic other conditions.

There’s currently no single cure, but treatment is about retraining communication between the brain and the muscles. That’s where neurological physiotherapy can help!

At The Brain Physio, we focus on:
• Re-educating movement patterns and improving motor control
• Using sensory feedback and relaxation strategies to calm overactive signals
• Helping you manage fatigue and postural discomfort

The goal is to teach your brain to send clearer messages so your body can move more freely.

🧠 Want to understand how neuro rehab can support dystonia recovery? Book a consultation or learn more on our website.
