Many people think osteoarthritis (OA) is simply “wear and tear,” and that using their joints will speed up damage. In reality, strengthening the muscles around a joint helps absorb more force, reducing stress on the joint itself, meaning better support.

🔄 Movement circulates synovial fluid, keeping the joint lubricated and more mobile. Joints that move regularly tend to feel less stiff and function better than those that are over-rested.

🧠 Regular exercise can reduce pain sensitivity by calming the nervous system and rebuilding confidence in movement, helping settle symptoms over time.

🏋️Staying active also supports healthy body weight, reducing overall load through weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees.

The key isn’t avoiding activity; it’s finding the right type and dosage. If you’re unsure where to start, our clinic runs the GLA:D program which is an evidence-based education and exercise program designed specifically for people with hip and knee OA. Our programs are carefully tailored to your needs, and will be supervised by our physios to help you move with confidence.

Following up on our last post about Achilles pain, here’s what to keep in mind:

🚫 Don’t do complete rest- gentle movement helps healing 🚫 Don’t push through pain- it can make things worse 🚫 Avoid aggressive stretching- this can irritate the tendon

✅ Reduce load but keep moving- modify activities, don’t stop completely ✅ Manage pain early- try icing in the early stages ✅ Progressively load your calf- gradually build strength to support recovery

Achilles pain is common but manageable! The right approach now can prevent long-term issues and get you back to your sport faster! 🏃‍♂️🎾

🎾 With the Australian Open underway, one injury we see a lot in tennis and many other sports is Achilles tendinopathy.

Quick changes of direction. Explosive push-offs. Repeated loading.

Your Achilles tendon takes a big hit whether you’re playing tennis, running, doing gym classes, or weekend sport.

Common signs we see:
• Pain or stiffness first thing in the morning
• Tenderness just above the heel
• Pain that eases as you warm up, then flares later
• Reduced power when pushing off or jumping

🚩 Don’t ignore it! Early Achilles pain is much easier to manage than a long-term tendon issue.

How can we treat it
✔️ Early pain management
✔️ Smart load management (not complete rest)
✔️ Progressive calf strengthening
✔️ Manage training load
✔️ A gradual, structured return to activity

Treatment involves manual therapy such as remedial massage techniques, dry needling, cupping and pain management advice.

‘Whether it’s calming inflammation, reducing muscle tension, restoring movement, or establishing long-term management plans, treatment is always tailored to meet you where you’re at.’

As we have just entered the month of December, it means summer is finally here! With the warmer weather approaching comes an increase in running and outdoor activity 🏃‍♀️☀️

With this rise, we often see more patellofemoral pain, one of the most common causes of front of knee pain.

Patellofemoral pain occurs when the load on the knee exceeds what the tissues are ready for.

This can show up as:

• Pain around or behind the kneecap
• Pain that worsens with running, stairs, hills, squatting or prolonged sitting
• Stiffness or aching after activity

Research shows the most effective management includes:

✔️ Strengthening
✔️ Gradual load progression
✔️ Running technique adjustments
✔️ Footwear review
✔️ Education on pacing and recovery

A small change now can make a big different to your summer running 💪
