Myth vs Fact Monday 💭

Myth: * insert exercise here * (e.g deadlifts, leg press etc) is bad for you ❌

Fact: There are no bad exercises inherently. What makes an exercise bad is if it is too hard/heavy and done too often for your current level. If done gradually with progressive overload, all exercises are good for you ✅

Big things are coming to Grafton Physio & Sport 👀

During last weeks team in-service, the team got hands-on with new VALD technology including force plates and a dynamometer to accurately measure strength, power and performance across a wide range of movements.
This means more objective testing, clearer progress tracking and even better outcomes for our patients.

We also had Lockie share key learnings from a recent course with Alison Grimaldi, focusing on evidence-based hip assessment and management to further enhance the care we provide.

Exciting upgrades ahead! 🚀

Myth vs Fact Monday 💬

-Osteoarthritis based myth-
Myth: Exercise damages joints further 🦵

Fact: Properly prescribed exercise, focusing on strength, flexibility and endurance, is safe and helps cartilage receive nutrients, with inactivity causing more harm by weakening support muscles.

Kylie, our Exercise Physiologist, is here to guide, support and educate you in managing Osteoarthritis. Alongside individual consultations, she also leads Osteoarthritis-specific classes to help you move better and feel more confident.🚶‍♂️‍➡️

Myth vs Fact Monday 💭

Myth: "Toning muscles is different from body building in the gym" 💪

Fact: Fact: A "toned" appearance comes from building muscle through strength training and having a low enough body fat percentage for that muscle to be visible. The exercises used for “toning” are no different than traditional gym exercises. 🏋🏽

Myth vs Fact Monday 💭

Myth: If you have diverticulosis, you must avoid nuts, seeds, and popcorn as they will get stuck and cause diverticular disease 🥜🍿🤔

Fact: Diverticulosis is the presence of small pouches in the colon, usually without symptoms. Diverticular disease happens only if these pouches become inflamed or infected.
Eating nuts or seeds does not increase risk and may even be protective because of their fibre and healthy fats. 👍

This week is Feeding Tube Awareness Week (1st-7th February) 🗣

Tube feeding helps so many kids and adults get the nutrition they need to grow, heal, and thrive. It may look different, but it’s just another way of nourishing a body when eating isn’t easy or safe.

This week is all about understanding, kindness, and cheering on the amazing individuals and families who navigate tube feeding every day. Feeding tubes don’t limit lives - they support them.

Check out the link below for real-life stories from those who live with a feeding tube. Let’s spread awareness, encouragement, and compassion💜

Myth vs Fact Monday 💭

Myth: "Running is bad for your knees"
Fact: "Running is one of the best things you can do for your knees. Running might hurt the knees if done too fast, too frequently or for too long for your current level, but if done gradually and slowly, it is one of the healthiest forms of exercise" 🏃‍♂️

Myth vs Fact Monday 💭

Myth: "Cardio is best for weight loss"
