Shoulder dislocation is a painful injury! It can either be a straight forward dislocation where the ligaments and capsule have been overstretched or there may be other structures damaged at the same time. Proper rehabilitation and strengthening of the rotator cuff muscles to prevent recurrence is essential!

20/06/2018

We all know it, but what can we actually do to prevent injuries?

1. Proper warm up and warm down
2. Stretching
3. Regular maintenance massage
4. Hydration
5. Cross training
6. Pilates.......
Yes of course Pilates! We focus on looking at your imbalances, strengthening the right stability muscles and stretching the ones that need stretching. It really works 💪 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Getting worked out myself today. Thanks !

I’m off to conference in Perth this week to learn more about holistic health and the latest research in how what happens on the inside affects everything else. Classes and Physio treatments only available Monday. Back to normal next week. I’ll bring back loads of knowledge and inspiration.

Think you don’t need to exercise? Think again

Need a reason to exercise?

This study looked at how exercise can preserve muscle mass.
Here they compare a 74-year old sedentary man and a 70-year old triathlete, and the difference in fat and muscle tissue is extreme.

😂 true!

I’m headed to Perth next week for a conference. I’m a WA first timer. Hit me with your food and workout recommendations....... yes I’m one of those that loves to workout when I travel. Who’s with me?

10/06/2018

What?!

It’s true. I have seen plenty of extremely strong and fit people with poor strength in their core and stabilisers. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you’re strong and won’t get injured. Strength in your prime movers is important. But strength in your stabilisers takes it next level and creates that stable base for them to work from.

Still don’t believe me? Come and try a Pilates reformer class at Hands On Allied Health

Kids can complain of aches and pains too. This is my daughter who loves to do all the things us Physio’s dislike. Like rolling her ankles, sitting with her hips rotated, crazy head stands......
Active kids can do with maintenance just the same as adults. Some pains can be related to growth, others to injury and everything in between. Sometimes a trip to he Physio to figure it out is just what’s needed

26/05/2018

It might be that simple! Or not. Then you need to see a professional to decide.

Sometimes... it’s just that easy! 😊

And sometimes not 😉
Some people need to move more, some need to stop “poking the bear”.
There are a lot of factors that can influence pain. 🤓👍

The intervertebral discs are our shock absorbers for the spine. Anyone who’s ever experienced back pain will tell you how crippling it can be. Looking after the discs is so important. Learning how to move effectively, being aware of our posture and staying active all help. Talk to a health professional who can advise you what will best suit you. And of course you’d never regret PILATES.

Let’s face it, there is always something new coming out. A new fitness trend or treatment modality, a new ‘miracle cream’ or expensive new machine..... I’m not discounting any of those things. But what means more are the tried and tested things. The things that are backed by the proper research and have stood the test of time. Old is not always boring and newer is not always best......

If you haven’t tried Xtend Barre you haven’t lived! Feel the difference with the upbeat fusion of Pilates and barre. I love that it works all the bits I want to- legs, inner thighs, butt, arms, abs and everything in between. Bookings essential Tuesday 12:30

It’s in the name..... we believe in ‘Hands On’ everything. We don’t leave you laying on a machine or a hot pack or rush you out the door. Real gains are found in Hands on treatment and attention. Bookings via MINDBODY or 0418885027

Whether you’ve got a 6 pack or not, your transverse abdominis may not be strong. It’s the most important abdominal muscle. It helps support your back, aids your posture, has a connection with your pelvic floor, gives you a flat stomach among other things. Get a physio to show you how to really activate your abdominals and unlock the real power of your ABS

Everyone needs omegas in their diet. I make sure I get mine every day with a plant based omega blend. Food for my brain, heart, skin and joints.

Do you sit a lot?
The QL is a common source of low back pain. It is a back muscle, hip muscle and helps breathing but can become tight and aggravated without attention.
Have you booked your ‘maintenance’ session or preventative pilates?

What is functional training/ functional rehabilitation/ functional exercise?
It used to be that we strengthened specific muscles in isolated exercises and single plain movements. While this is still very important, functional exercise ensures that we retrain the muscles and movements in a way that is relevant to everyday life. It means that not only are you working multiple muscles at the same time, you are challenging the muscles/joints in those positions where injuries or re-injury is likely to happen. It makes the stability muscles work more and it also makes training a whole lot of fun!
All my clients know how I don’t like to leave any body parts out and there is always room for the Pilates circle! 😂
