🎒 Back to School, Back in Action!
It’s that time again - backpacks, early mornings, and long hours at desks. Kids aren’t the only ones feeling it; parents are helping with homework (“what’s a quadratic equation again?”), prepping lunches and hauling gear (so Mondays require two swim kits, a library bag, a soccer kit, two violins, and a euphonium - easy!)
What can you do?
🏃‍♂️ Sneak in movement breaks with a quick game of tig or musical statues before homework.
🕺 Master the latest TikTok dance with older kids - cardio and laughter all in one!
🍎 Pack nutritious snacks and stay hydrated to fuel brains and bodies.
🧘 Take a moment for mindful breathing or stretching together before bed. (Consistent sleep helps everyone.)
Small, playful habits make a big difference for posture, energy, and wellbeing for the whole family.
🦵And parents, don’t forget to bend from the knees when hauling all that gear!

🦵 Word of the Day: Knee
We know… It’s a word you know well! But here’s some facts about this small word with a long history!
The word, ‘Knee’ comes from Old English cnēow (from the proto-Germanic knewam). Back then the k was actually pronounced. The sound faded from spoken English around the 15th century, but printers kept the old spelling — and dictionaries later cemented it. So, that silent k is a little relic from our linguistic past.
The knee itself is the body’s largest and most complex joint, linking the femur, tibia, and patella. It can bear up to three times your body weight with every step — and even more when you run or climb stairs. No wonder so many knees sometimes feel like old relics themselves! (Relics in need of a little TLC.)

🍷 Time for a little liquid honesty?
Did the festive period come with a few too many grown-up drinks? You’re not alone. Between work parties, family get-togethers and kids' end-of-school concerts (fourth-grade violin recitals make even the most health-conscious want a stiff drink! 🎻🍸), and then ringing in the New Year… December can sometimes be a bit of a boozy blur. Time for a reset!
Research shows habits form faster than we realise - it can take as little as two to three weeks (aka the end of December) for that 5 o’clock glass to start feeling normal, even needed. Why? The brain releases dopamine in anticipation of reward, reinforcing the behaviour before you’ve even taken the first sip.
The good news? That urge usually peaks and fades within 20 minutes if you distract your brain. Try a stretch, a big glass of water, a chat with a mate, or a silly dance move - all help reset your reward pathways.
How are you resetting your routine this month? 👇

🦵 6 Signs You Should See a Physiotherapist (before it potentially gets worse)
Even small ni**les can snowball if ignored. Look out for these red flags:

🏃 Recurring pain – aches that keep coming back, even after rest.
🦾 Stiffness – joints or muscles that feel unusually tight or resistant.
🤸 Loss of mobility – movements that used to be easy now feel tricky.
🏋️ Post-injury recovery issues – swelling, weakness, or struggling to return to normal activity.
⚖️ Balance problems – feeling wobbly or prone to trips.
💪 Persistent muscle fatigue – muscles tiring faster than normal during everyday tasks.
Catching these early can make a huge difference. Physiotherapists can assess, guide, and get you moving comfortably again.

Your body isn’t just the patient - it can also be the pharmacy, the lab, and the willing volunteer for every dose. 💊 Stiff shoulders? Here’s a stretching shot. Achy knees? Time for a strengthening booster. Balance feeling off? A quick proprioception tonic should do the trick.
We don’t just hand out exercises like lollies - we tailor your “movement medicine” to what your body actually needs, making sure it hits the right spots and works effectively. Side effects may include feeling stronger, moving easier, and maybe even smiling a bit more.

💪 Did you know that muscle strength can start to decline after just two weeks of inactivity? (Not great news if your holiday exercise routine consisted entirely of couch surfing!) This is why we always recommend getting moving early after an injury.
When muscles aren’t used, protein synthesis slows, fibres shrink, and neural pathways controlling movement get less efficient — all of which can slow your return to full strength. Our physiotherapists can assess your injury, design a safe, tailored movement plan, and guide you through exercises that maintain strength, improve circulation, and restore function.
Don’t let inactivity make recovery harder. Call 9453 3000 to make an appointment with our physiotherapists at Frenchs Forest Physio📞.

Pain isn’t always what it seems. While it often signals injury, chronic pain can also arise when the nervous system becomes oversensitive, sending amplified alerts even when tissues are healthy ⚡. Imagine your body’s warning system as a microphone turned up too high — normal signals suddenly feel loud and urgent.
Physiotherapists help patients understand these signals, working to retrain the nervous system, improve movement 🏃, and restore confidence in the body. By addressing both the “hardware” (muscles, joints, tissues 💪🦴) and the “software” (nervous system messaging 🧠💻), physiotherapy supports lasting relief and function.
Have you ever felt pain that didn’t seem linked to an injury? Share your experience below 👇 or call Frenchs Forest Physio on 9453 3000 to explore how physiotherapy may help tune the system back down.

Everyday tasks feeling like Everest 🏔️? Physiotherapy may help you manage breathlessness and move more confidently.

It’s not a cure, but small, guided changes can make a meaningful difference in how you manage life with COPD.
