If you’re a regular exerciser you will know how much harder it is to hit your targets in this intense summer heat.

Hydration plays a huge role in muscle performance, coordination, temperature regulation and recovery.

Here’s how to stay safe and moving well in this heat:

Hydrate strategically:
🔷 Aim for 2–3L/day on hot days
🔷 Increase intake if training outdoors
🔷 Start hydrating before you feel thirsty
🔷 Spread water throughout the day, not all at once

Use electrolytes where appropriate:
🔷 Long-duration exercise (>45–60 minutes)
🔷 High sweat-loss activities
🔷 Training in peak heat
🔷 Look for options containing sodium, potassium, magnesium.

Train smarter:
🔷 Exercise early morning or late afternoon
🔷 Reduce intensity on extreme heat days
🔷 Incorporate more rest breaks
🔷 Keep sessions shorter but more frequent
🔷 Watch for early signs of heat stress (dizziness, nausea, sudden fatigue)

Support your body with strength and mobility:
🔷 Calf and hamstring mobility
🔷 Glute and core strengthening

🍎 What you eat influences how well you recover 🥦

What you eat affects how your body heals, performs and feels, especially when you’re recovering from injury or starting a new exercise program.

Anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense foods support muscle repair, tendon health and energy levels.

Proper nutrition can help:
🔷 Reduce inflammation
🔷 Support tendon, ligament, and muscle repair
🔷 Improve energy for training and daily life
🔷 Aid overall recovery from exercise

Some key nutrients for recovery:
🔷 Protein: meat, fish, eggs, dairy, tofu, legumes
🔷 Omega-3: salmon, sardines, chia seeds, walnuts, flaxseed
🔷 Antioxidants: berries, cherries, citrus, spinach, kale, broccoli
🔷 Vitamin C: citrus fruits, capsicum, berries, bone broth, collagen supplements

If a particular exercise is causing you pain, mobility restrictions or reoccurring injuries, you might be inclined to seek advice from your personal trainer (PT).

While your PT may be able to adapt exercises to accommodate your condition, it’s vital you see a physio for an accurate assessment.

Physios can assess biomechanics, guide rehab and build a strong foundation so your training is safer and more effective.

And we love working in tandem with PTs to ensure you receive the best care possible.

✨ Setting goals that really stick ✨

It’s vital to set health and fitness goals that you can measure and maintain. But how do you do this? Here are our top tips…

🔷 Start with one or two clear priorities:
Avoid trying to change everything at once. Focus on the areas that will make the biggest impact (e.g., mobility, strength, pain reduction, cardiovascular fitness).

🔷 Make your goals measurable:
Swap vague goals (i.e. get fitter) for specific ones, such as ‘walk 30 minutes 4 days per week’ or ‘complete my home exercises 3 x per week’.

🔷 Choose goals based on function, not just aesthetics:
Think ‘climb stairs without knee pain,’ ‘improve balance’ or ‘lift 10kg safely’ rather than weight-focused goals.

🔷 Break big goals into small weekly behaviours:
For example:
- Week 1: 10-minute walks
- Week 2: Add 5 minutes
- Week 3: Add gentle strength exercises

🔷 Check your baseline with a physio:
A professional assessment helps you understand mobility limitations, strength imbalances and a realistic starting point.

🔷 Plan for barriers before they appear:
Ask: “What will I do on busy weeks?” or “Where can I train if it rains?” When the plan is flexible, the goal stays achievable.

🔷 Track progress regularly:
Follow a simple weekly check-in:
- Pain levels
- Strength improvements
- Step count
- How you feel moving

🔷 Celebrate improvements that aren’t visible:
More energy, better sleep, fewer aches, better movement patterns - these are major signs your body is adapting.

🔷 Aim for consistency over perfection:
Missing a day doesn’t derail you. The goal is to keep moving forward, not start over.

🏃 Start slow to condition your body 💪

January motivation is amazing but going from 0 - 100 can lead to strains, tendon overload and general injury.

It’s a better idea to start off your new health and fitness goals slowly and build up over time.

It’s also essential to identify what your health and wellness goals are and build a sustainable plan around achieving them. That way once February and March roll around, you’re still consistently sticking with your attainable plan.

If you need some support, a physio-guided plan can help you return to movement safely and build strength without flare-ups.

Did you know most private health funds reset on 1st January? Which means now is the perfect time to book your physio assessment and start working toward your 2026 health and wellness goals.

Whether it’s pain, posture, strength or injury rehab, small steps now result in big changes later on.

When it comes to menopause most women expect the physical symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness). What women are sometimes surprised by is the insomnia, mood swings, anxiety and depression that menopause can bring.

But we don’t need to be fearful about this stage of life.

Physiotherapy modalities, such as yoga, pilates, walking, massage and reflexology can all make a huge difference to menopausal symptoms.

These interventions are non-hormonal, making them a valuable tool in your menopause toolkit.

At Balance Physio, we tailor specific exercise programs, gentle manual therapy techniques and movement-based therapies to improve sleep and mental wellbeing – as well as keeping your body happy and functioning optimally.

Talk to our team about creating a plan for you.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

🙋‍♀️ Physiotherapy for perimenopause 🙋‍♀️

Hormonal fluctuations in perimenopause can influence tendon health, increasing injury risk. Pelvic floor issues can also become common at this stage of life.

Declining estrogen decreases collagen production, which can make tendons weaker and less elastic. You might start noticing more stiffness and pain in areas like the shoulders, hips and Achilles.

Pelvic floor symptoms such as urinary leaking and urgency, pain during in*******se and vaginal heaviness can sometimes occur with this stage of life too.

Interventions such as strength training, lifestyle adjustments for better sleep and nutrition, and pelvic floor-specific exercises can all go a long way to making this transition into menopause smoother.

Talk to our team about how we can help you.

Returning to high-impact activities such as sport, weight training and running after birth requires careful planning to prevent injury.

Physiotherapy can guide progressive return, focusing on pelvic floor, core stability and safe loading.

At our clinic, we can help create a postpartum rehab plan to match your goals and ensure you can keep doing what you love.

Here are some tips for women returning to exercise after birth…
