Physiotherapy Insight 🌿

Pelvic floor challenges can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and sometimes even isolating — but you’re not alone.

The science? The levator ani group and deep core muscles like the transverse abdominis work together to maintain internal pressure, stability, and control. If one part isn’t activating correctly, others compensate, which can lead to fatigue, discomfort, and reduced bladder or core function.

Specialised physiotherapy targets these muscles, retraining strength, timing, and coordination. Even subtle improvements in muscle activation can make a meaningful difference, helping you regain confidence, comfort, and function in daily life.

If you’re noticing changes in your pelvic floor or need postnatal support, call Hunters Hill Physiotherapy on 02 9816 5092 💚

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.

Jump Your Way Through December! 🦘✨

Add a little lift to your day - literally! Jumping isn’t just for kids or kangaroos. It strengthens your calf muscles, quads, glutes, and core, boosts bone density, and improves balance and coordination. Each jump also gives your cardiovascular system a workout, helping circulation and heart health.

The rapid muscle contractions during jumping use what’s called the stretch–shortening cycle - training your muscles and tendons to store and release energy efficiently. This enhances balance, coordination, and power, which all help protect joints and prevent falls.

And don’t forget the heart! That burst of movement boosts circulation and cardiovascular fitness, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues more effectively.

So skip, hop, or jump rope your way through December, and your bones, muscles, and heart will all thank you.

What’s your favourite way to add bounce to your routine? Tell us below or call Hunters Hill Physiotherapy on 02 9816 5092 to keep your step springy this season! 💪

UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities 🌍

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of people of all abilities. It’s a day to recognise the barriers many face, and to reflect on how we can create more inclusive, accessible, and supportive communities.

Every person’s journey is unique, and small changes, from physical accessibility to understanding and empathy, can make a big difference in participation, independence, and well-being.

Word of the Day: Joint 🦵

Etymology: From the Latin junctus — “joined” — the past participle of jungere, meaning to join or connect. The word passed through Old French (joint) before settling into Middle English with its modern spelling and sense.

Historically, “joint” described any point of connection, whether in carpentry, conversation, or anatomy. In physiology, it refers to the meeting place between two or more bones, the marvel of mechanics that makes movement possible.

There are three main types: Fibrous joints (immovable, like the skull), cartilaginous joints (slightly moveable, like the spine), and synovial joints (freely moveable, like the knee or shoulder).

Physiotherapists focus on keeping these joints strong, stable, and supple, ensuring that every connection in your body moves in harmony.

🧊🔥 The Truth About Ice vs Heat: What Should You Use?

Still icing that chronic back pain? You might actually be slowing your recovery. ❌

Here’s the science:
🧊 Ice works best in the first 48 hours after an acute injury (like a sprain or strain) because it reduces swelling and numbs pain.

🔥 Heat is more effective for persistent or chronic pain, such as stiff backs or arthritic joints, as it boosts blood flow and relaxes tight muscles.

Using the wrong one can delay recovery or even worsen symptoms! But like anything, recovery journeys look different for everyone. So if in doubt, shout! Give the clinic a call if you’ve injured yourself and we’ll let you know the best first steps before coming in for your initial appointment.

Knee Osteoarthritis: Keep Moving, Keep Strong!

Knee osteoarthritis can make daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even standing up uncomfortable.

So, it’s game over on sports, dancing and getting around without moaning and groaning? Right? No way!

Our physiotherapists here at the clinic often prescribe targeted strengthening exercises for the quadriceps and glutes to support the joints and use joint mobilisation techniques to help improve range of motion and ease stiffness.

Research shows that combining exercise with guidance on pacing and load management helps protect the knee while maintaining function and mobility.

Makes leg day a bit more appealing, doesn’t it?!?

Are Your Shoulders Doing All the Heavy Lifting? Or maybe you feel the weight of the world on them, literally?

Your shoulders are complex joints, relying on muscles like the rotator cuff, deltoids, and scapular stabilisers to stay stable while allowing a huge range of motion. Pain, stiffness, or weakness can result from overuse, poor posture, or previous injuries, and can affect everything from lifting at the gym to typing at a desk 🖥️.

But help is at hand. Our physiotherapists prescribe targeted rehab exercises to help strengthen rotator cuff and scapular stabilisers, use manual therapy to help reduce joint stiffness and muscle tension, and provide ergonomic guidance to help prevent strain during work or sport. Early intervention can improve recovery and reduce the risk of chronic shoulder issues.

Is this post speaking directly to you? You’re not alone. Let’s work on your shoulder health together! Contact the clinic to make an appointment and we’ll see you soon.
