🎾 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

Myotherapy can assist with both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions by assessing muscular and fascial patterns that could be holding you back from achieving your goals or improving function.

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 💪

Balance matters for everyone! 🧘‍♀️

Good balance helps you move confidently, prevent falls, and stay active in daily life, whether that’s walking, gardening, or playing sport.

In this video, our physio Jonno demonstrates three simple balance exercises you can try at home to start improving your stability.

✨ Make sure you’re doing them in a safe environment, with a sturdy support nearby (like a chair or bench) if needed.

💪 Small, consistent practice can make a big difference over time!

Stay tuned for our next post, where we’ll share more about our Falls Prevention and Balance Class here at the clinic which is perfect for anyone looking to build confidence in their balance and prevent falls!
