What is 1RM? 💪
Your 1RM (one-rep max) is the maximum weight you can lift for a single repetition. We usually estimate it using a formula based on how many reps you can perform with a lighter weight.
For example, if you can squat 20kg for 10 reps, your estimated 1RM is about 26.7kg.
Why does this matter?
Physios use your 1RM to prescribe the right level of strength training, ensuring exercises are challenging, safe, and effective for your goals, experience, and current condition.

💪 Ever wondered what goes into measuring strength in a clinical setting? In our latest blog, we break down the different ways our therapists assess muscle strength - from hands-on manual muscle testing to advanced objective tools like dynamometers and real-world functional tasks.
➡️ We explore:
• Manual Muscle Testing: graded against resistance to see how well key muscle groups perform 💥
• Dynamometry: giving us precise, measurable force data 📊
• Functional Tasks: — real movement tests like sit-to-stands 🌟
• Weight Measures: including 1-rep max lifts to quantify strength progress 💯
Whether you’re focused on rehab, performance, or everyday function — understanding strength gives us the roadmap to help you reach your goals 🙌
Staying Strong with Parkinson’s - Supporting movement, confidence & quality of life
Living with Parkinson’s can feel daunting, but strength, connection, and meaningful movement can make a powerful difference. In this newsletter edition, we share expert insights, practical tools you can try at home, and ways to connect with the Parkinson’s community as we approach World Parkinson’s Day on April 11.
🧠 What is Sensory Retraining & How Can It Help You?
After a neurological injury or condition, sensation can be affected — things like touch, proprioception (body awareness), vibration and object recognition may not feel quite right. 👇
Sensory retraining helps your brain and nervous system relearn how to interpret these inputs, improving coordination, confidence and independence in everyday activities. It’s often used for conditions like:
✨ Stroke recovery
✨ Traumatic Brain Injury
✨ Multiple Sclerosis
✨ Parkinson’s Disease
✨ Peripheral nerve injuries and more.
📌 Through targeted physiotherapy and occupational therapy exercises - such as balance tasks, tactile stimulation, functional movement practice and fine motor activities - Neuro Junction’s therapists support you to reconnect sensation with movement and function.
Occupational Therapy at NeuroJunction: Helping You Live Life to the Fullest
At NeuroJunction, our OT's are dedicated to supporting individuals with neurological conditions to participate in the everyday activities that matter most, from personal care and household tasks to work, hobbies and community engagement. 🧠💛
OT is all about understanding you - your strengths, challenges and goals - and working together to build meaningful independence and confidence in daily life.
Our experienced team can help you by:
✅ Completing thorough assessments to understand your needs and set personalised goals
✅ Providing tailored training in areas such as upper-limb function, cognitive skills and using equipment
✅ Supporting retraining of daily tasks at home and in the community — from dressing, cooking and shopping to travel and recreation
✅ Assessing and recommending home modifications to improve safety and accessibility
✅ Recommending and training you in assistive technology and equipment that make tasks easier
✅ Educating not just clients, but also families and carers to empower your support network
✅ Collaborating with your broader healthcare team for coordinated care.
We offer both in-clinic appointments and home visits so therapy can take place where it matters most to you. This helps us tailor your strategies to your real-world environment and make rehabilitation as meaningful and effective as possible.
Whether you’re working towards greater independence, adjusting after injury or navigating the impacts of a neurological condition, our Occupational Therapists are here to help you live more fully, confidently and comfortably every day. 🌈✨
💛 Understanding POTS & How Physiotherapy Can Help 💛
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) can make everyday activities like standing, walking or even getting out of bed feel overwhelming, with symptoms like dizziness, racing heart, fatigue and brain fog. 🧠💓
The good news? Physiotherapy isn’t just about muscles, it can be a game-changer in managing POTS symptoms and improving quality of life. 🙌🏼
✨ Here’s how physiotherapy supports POTS management:
• Tailored, safe and gradual exercise programs to build strength & tolerance without triggering symptoms.
• Education on pacing, triggers & symptom awareness.
• Techniques to help the body cope with changes in posture and reduce dizziness.
• Hydrotherapy & other fun ways to stay active without overwhelm! 🌊💪🏽
• Working as part of a team with your GP, dietitian or psychologist for whole-person care.
👉 Whether you’re newly diagnosed or supporting someone with POTS, knowledge + movement with support = better days ahead. 💫

🌀 Vestibular Migraines: More Than a Headache 🌀
Vestibular migraines can affect far more than your head, they can disrupt balance, movement, and confidence in everyday life.
Symptoms may include:
• Vertigo or spinning sensations
• Imbalance or unsteadiness
• Motion sensitivity (especially with head or visual movement)
• Nausea or vomiting
For many people, dizziness is the main issue, not pain.
💡 How physiotherapy can help
Physiotherapy plays an important role in managing vestibular migraines through:
✔️ Vestibular rehabilitation (gaze stabilisation & balance training)
✔️ Functional mobility training (walking, turning, stairs)
✔️ Reducing fall risk and fear of movement
✔️ Education around triggers, pacing, and safe activity
With the right guidance, many people can reduce dizziness, improve balance, and regain confidence in daily movement.
👉 Read our latest blog to learn more about vestibular migraines and how physiotherapy can support recovery.
