Gluteal Tendinopathy:

Refers to pain on the outside of the hip that has often worsened over time due to reduced load tolerance of the gluteal tendons. Sometimes, there can be some associated bursitis as a secondary condition due to the friction caused by the tendon creating pressure over the bursa on the lateral hip. The goal of rehab is adjust the aggravating load on the tendon, build up the strength and tolerance of the tendon, then strengthen the muscles that support the hip globally.

Try these 3 exercises at home!

🟢 Hip Hitches
Hold 3x 30–45s

🟢 Side Plank on Knees
Hold 3 x 30–45s

🟢 Single-Leg Step Down
3 x 6–8 reps each leg

If pain persists or worsens, individualised assessment is key to getting you on track with your pain.

Book in with PEAK to tailor your rehab to align with your goals and return you to pain-free movement!

Pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain 💗💗

Pelvic girdle pain is one of the most common causes of pain and discomfort during pregnancy. It is most common towards the end of pregnancy with up to 60-70% of women experiencing this type of pain, however it is also not unusual for symptoms to occur earlier than this.

It is defined as pain generally at the back of the pelvis however it can also be felt at the front of the pelvis, lower back, and back of the thighs. The intensity of symptoms can range from mild to severe and are commonly aggravated with standing/walking for long periods, standing on one leg and rolling in bed.

While there can be the expectation that being pregnant, particularly in the later stages is associated with pain and discomfort this does not have to be the case. There are a number of strategies that can be utilised to improve and manage these symptoms such as pregnancy support belts or leggings, prescription of pelvic stability exercises, taping and education. Getting on top of these symptoms sooner rather than later is encouraged to keep you the most comfortable during pregnancy.

If you are pregnant and are experiencing these symptoms we would love to help you at PEAK. Reach out and we will be able to direct you to the appropriate coaches to help you along your journey 🤰🤰

Success Story from Everest Base Camp! 🏔️

We’re incredibly proud to share an amazing update from one of our athletes Julian, who has just returned from a gruelling 15-day return trek to Everest Base Camp and Lukla — all after undergoing meniscus repair earlier this year!

Julian shared that his knee handled the entire journey without any setbacks, despite continuous ascents and descents and a total elevation gain of 3,800m.

A huge shout-out to Liam for his ongoing support, guidance, and encouragement throughout the rehab process. 🙌
Hearing that this achievement checked off a major bucket-list dream is exactly why we do what we do!

🌟 Congratulations to Julian, and thank you for trusting us with your journey back to adventure!

If you have your own goals — big or small — we’re here to help you reach them

The Running Muscle You’re Probably Ignoring 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻

Meet the soleus: The true Running Muscle.
Every step you take when running sends 6.7–8.7× your body weight through this powerful, quietly working calf muscle 💪🏻

That’s hundreds of kilos of force absorbed with every stride.

If your soleus isn’t strong?
- Calf tightness / tears
- Achilles overload
- Early fatigue
- Slower running economy

But when it is strong?
- Better propulsion
- Smoother, more efficient stride
- Fewer lower-leg niggles
- Bigger running engine

That’s why strengthening your Running Muscle is non-negotiable for pain-free running and performance that lasts.

Swipe for 4 must have exercises in your program that build a bulletproof soleus and get you running stronger than ever.

- Single-leg Seated Calf Raises
- Standing Single-leg Bent Knee Calf Raise
- 2 Up, 1 Down Eccentric Calf Raises
- Pogo Jumps

🟢 NEW BLOG POST 🟢

For most people with an uncomplicated pregnancy, physical activity is safe, highly beneficial, and one of the best things you can do for your body and your baby. Recent research has consistently shown that appropriate exercise during pregnancy improves physical and mental wellbeing, reduces the risk of complications, and supports faster recovery after birth.

Coach Highlight 🤍💚

At PEAK Sports and Spine Centre, we believe in pushing boundaries and creating experiences once thought impossible — and no one embodies this more than Tommy Jarrard.

Tommy, one of our physiotherapists recently took on the ultimate personal challenge: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Standing at 5,895 meters, the journey tested endurance, resilience, and mindset.

The hike was extremely successful, with no injuries or altitude sickness, and completing it alongside his mum made the experience even more meaningful. Tommy’s favourite momenets was watching the sunrise after the final summit push was an overwhelming moment of relief, pride, and gratitude.

Returning home, Tommy feels even more energised to coach and support his athletes toward their own dream big experiences, whatever they may look like. He believes everyone deserves the opportunity to train for something transformative.

Tommy’s accomplishment reflects discipline, determination, and the power of stepping beyond your limits. We’re incredibly proud of him! His journey reminds us all to push further, dream bigger, and reach new heights.

How Tendon Pain Actually Starts……

Tendon pain rarely comes from a single moment. It usually develops when the tendon is exposed to more load than it’s currently prepared for. Four common reasons this happens:

1. Sudden spikes in training load. Jumping from 2 sessions a week to 5, adding heavy volume quickly, or returning after a break can overload the tendon faster than it can adapt.
2. Repetitive movements without enough recovery. Doing the same high-volume tasks — like running, jumping, lifting, or gripping — without spacing out recovery days can irritate the tendon over time.
3. Weakness or under-conditioning of surrounding muscles. If the muscles that help control force are weak or fatigued, the tendon ends up absorbing more load than it should.
4. Poor load tolerance from long rest periods or inactivity. After a break (holidays, sickness, injury), tendons lose capacity. Jumping straight back into normal training makes them more reactive and sensitive.

→ If tendon pain has been hanging around, don’t wait for it to “settle on its own.” Early guidance and the right loading plan can help you get on top of it faster — reach out and one of our coaches at PEAK to start your journey back to performance.
