Chronic condition management plans (GPCCMP) (previously called Enhanced Primary Care plans and Chronic Disease Management Plans) help patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions access allied health services through Medicare. Eligible medical conditions are present or are likely to be present for 6 months or longer.

Eligible patients can use 5 services per calendar year. The 5 services may be either: one type of service, for example 5 physiotherapy services or a combination of different types of services, for example one dietetic and 4 podiatry services.

Referrals under a GPCCMP are valid for the timeframe stated in the referral (usually 12 months).

GPCCMP allow patients to access a rebate for allied health services, this helps to cover approximately $60 of the consult fee.

If you have been referred to Shoreside Physio under a GPCCMP, let us know at the time of booking, and make sure to bring along your referral form and Medicare card to ensure you can access your rebate.

How to Perform a Single Leg Romanian Deadlift (RDL)

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in one or both hands. If you're new to this exercise, begin with just your body weight.
2. Shift your weight onto one leg, keeping a slight bend in the knee of the supporting leg.
3. Begin the movement by pushing your hips back. Keep your back straight and core engaged.
4. As you hinge forward, lower your torso towards the ground while simultaneously lifting the non-weight-bearing leg straight back behind you. Your torso should lower until it is almost parallel to the floor.
5. Keep your hips and shoulders square throughout the movement. Avoid letting your hips rotate upwards.
6. Focus on feeling the stretch in your hamstring and glute of the supporting leg.
7. Press through the heel of your supporting leg to return to the starting position. Engage your glutes and hamstrings as you rise back up.

Benefits of Single Leg RDL:
1. Strengthens Posterior Chain: Targets the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back, improving overall strength and stability.
2. Enhances Balance and Coordination: As a unilateral exercise, it helps improve balance and proprioception, which is beneficial for athletic performance and daily activities.

Did you know that we offer Dry Needling at Shoreside Physio? Michala completed the APA Dry Needling and Acupuncture for Physiotherapists course back in 2019 and has used it as part of her treatment ever since.

Dry Needling is an evidence-based treatment strategy that involves the insertion of needles into trigger points in specific, tight muscles to assist with pain management. The evidence suggests dry needling can help to reduce muscle tension and decrease by:

💥 Increasing blood flow & promoting the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals in the painful area

💥 Decreasing the overactive electrical activity coming from the spinal cord which can in turn decrease the high resting tone of the muscle

💥 Changing the way your brain interprets pain by desensitising the painful area.

If you’re looking to try Dry Needling or have an injury or ni**le, book in for an appointment with Michala by giving us a call or booking online.

Glute strengthening - important for higher level sporting activities as well as day to day tasks such as walking up stairs and stability while walking.

Studies looking at muscle activation have recommended some of the best exercises to activate the 3 gluteal muscles. Adding weight to these exercises increases the amount of muscle activation.

For gluteus maximus a split squat at 12 rep max showed best activation, for gluteus medius a body weight side plank, and for gluteus minimus a single leg Romanian Deadlift (RDL) at 12 rep max.

Adjusting these exercises to suit individual needs and goals is where we can help!

Walking may be an effective strategy in reducing recurrence of low back pain!

A recent study in 2024 looked at walking as a strategy to reduce low back pain recurrence and found it was successful in reducing recurrence by 28%. This demonstrates a potential low cost, relatively accessible, and safe method of reducing your chance of an episode of low back pain. Gradual progression, ideally guided by a qualified health care professional is recommended.

Our calf muscles are an instrumental muscle for many activities including walking, running, jumping, and reaching.
Calf raises are an easy, low-impact method for strengthening the two muscles of our calf – the gastrocnemius and soleus. Strong flexible calf muscles result in better stability and balance. There are many ways to progress this exercise, a simple starting point is a bilateral calf raise on the edge of a step to target strength through the full range of motion.
Exercise Instructions:
1. Stand up straight on a step, holding onto a supportive surface.
2. Walk your feet back so that your heels are off the edge of the step.
3. Keeping your knees straight, drop your heels down as far as you can, then raise your heels up as high as you can.
4. Control the movement as you lower your heels back down again and repeat the movement.
5. Keep the speed slow and steady.
*(Remember to always seek individual advice for your circumstances)
