What causes an ACL injury? 🤔🦵

Your ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is a key stabiliser in the knee — and it’s especially vulnerable during fast, high-impact movements.

Most ACL injuries happen during sport — but surprisingly, many are non-contact and caused by poor movement mechanics and female athletes are more at risk, due to biomechanics and neuromuscular control differences.

Here are the top causes of ACL injuries:
⚡️ Sudden changes in direction or pivoting
🛑 Abrupt stopping or slowing down
⛷️ Landing awkwardly from a jump
❌ Poor strength or control through hips, glutes & core
🧠 Fatigue or poor technique under pressure

The good news? ACL injuries can be prevented — and if you’ve had one, recovery is absolutely possible with the right plan.

At Flex Sports Physio, we assess how you move, build strength, and guide you from injury prevention through to full recovery.

📍 Book in with our team if you're experiencing knee pain — or help to reduce the risk of ACL injuries.

🤲 Manual Therapy vs Exercise Therapy – What’s the Difference?

At Flex Sports Physiotherapy, we use both manual therapy and exercise therapy to help you recover faster and move better. Here's what they include and what they are used for:

Manual Therapy
✅ Hands-on techniques (massage, joint mobilisations, dry needling)
✅ Reduces pain, releases tight muscles, improves mobility
✅ Great for early-stage recovery or when movement is limited

Exercise Therapy
✅ Targeted exercises to build strength, flexibility, and control
✅ Helps correct movement patterns and prevent re-injury
✅ Key for long-term results and performance

Used together, they deliver the best outcomes—relieve pain, restore function, and get you back to doing what you love.

Understanding EPCs for Physiotherapy

Did you know you can use an EPC (Enhanced Primary Care plan) to get Medicare rebates for your physiotherapy sessions?

An EPC is a government plan designed to help people with chronic or complex conditions access allied health services, like physio, at a reduced cost. Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Visit your GP who will assess your condition and create a Care Plan if you qualify.
2️⃣ Your GP refers you to Flex Sports Physiotherapy under the EPC program.
3️⃣ You can receive up to 5 subsidised sessions per calendar year.
4️⃣ We claim your rebate directly in clinic after your physiotherapy sessions

If you’ve been managing a long-term condition or injury, an EPC can make your treatment more affordable and help you get moving again! 💪

Got questions? Give us a call to discuss your options or chat with your GP about an EPC today!

What is Thoracic Spine Pain?

Your thoracic spine is the middle part of your back — it runs from the base of your neck down to your lower ribs. This area supports your ribcage and helps keep your posture upright.

When you spend lots of time at a desk, slouching or hunching forward can strain the muscles and joints in your mid-back, leading to pain and stiffness. You might feel:
🔹 A deep ache or sharp pain between your shoulder blades
🔹 Tightness or stiffness, especially after sitting for a long time
🔹 Difficulty twisting or bending your upper body comfortably

This discomfort often gets worse when sitting or moving the wrong way, but can improve with stretching, movement, and better posture.

If thoracic spine pain is holding you back, our physiotherapists at Flex Sports Physio can help with hands-on treatment and exercises tailored to you — so you can get back to feeling your best.
