✨ Meet Lucy — Our Pelvic Floor Physio! ✨
Booking a pelvic floor appointment can feel daunting, but Lucy creates a private, supportive space to help you feel comfortable and in control.

🌿 What happens in an 80-minute assessment?
Your session starts with a conversation about your symptoms, bowel and bladder habits, childbirth history (if relevant), prolapse symptoms, sexual health, medical history and daily life. This helps Lucy create your treatment plan.

💛 Internal and/or External Exams (optional and with your consent)
If appropriate, Lucy may perform external or internal assessments to check pelvic floor strength and coordination. You are always in control, and privacy is guaranteed. Any communication with other health professionals happens only with your permission.

📝 Personalised Plan
Based on your assessment, Lucy will create a tailored plan with exercises, hands-on techniques, lifestyle guidance, and rehabilitation strategies to improve pelvic floor function and confidence.

✨ Your comfort comes first
Lucy’s priority is to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your pelvic health journey.

📞 Book your pelvic floor assessment today via the link in our bio or call 9316 1186!

If you think pelvic floor care is just for new mums… think again.

Your pelvic floor is working for you all day, every day - whether you’ve had children or not.

It supports your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, and connects directly with your core, posture, and breathing.

Here’s why pelvic floor care matters for everyone:
✅ Athletes: High-impact training and heavy lifting can over-tighten pelvic muscles.
✅ Men: Pelvic tension and leakage can occur - especially after prostate surgery.
✅ Women in menopause: Hormonal changes affect muscle tone and control.
✅ Anyone under stress: Chronic clenching or shallow breathing keeps the pelvic floor tense.

So if you fall into any of these categories then a pelvic floor assessment isn't something so far fetched!

Comment "PELVIC FLOOR" if you want to know more about it.

That ache that just won’t go away? It’s probably not your muscles.

Tendon pain can linger for weeks - even when you’ve stopped training - and here’s why 👇

Muscles recover fast. They love short bursts of load and bounce back quickly.

Tendons? Not so much. They’re built for the long run, not sudden change. When overloaded or irritated, they remodel slowly - which is why rest alone doesn’t fix the problem.

Here’s what to do instead:
✅ Don’t stop moving - gradual, heavy, slow loading helps tendons rebuild strength and tolerance.
✅ Skip the “complete rest” trap - it only makes the tissue more sensitive.
✅ Be patient - progress happens in weeks, not days.

Save this if your tendon flares up over the holiday season!

You’ve been told it’s sciatica… but what if it’s not?

Sciatica is one of the most overused (and misunderstood) labels in healthcare — and it might not explain what’s actually happening.

“Sciatica” is actually a symptom, not a specific condition. It describes irritation of the sciatic nerve - causing pain, tingling, or weakness down the leg. But here’s the catch 👇

There are many structures that can mimic it.

Here are just a few!

“Ah, it’s just old age.”

👎 Nope — knee pain isn’t an inevitable part of getting older.
In fact, your knees can stay strong and mobile for decades with the right approach.

Here’s what the research shows 👇
✅ Strength training — especially for your quads and glutes — reduces knee pain and stiffness.
✅ Movement nourishes cartilage and improves joint health.
✅ Even with osteoarthritis, consistent exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage symptoms.

Try these exercises today to start strengthening your knees!

1️⃣ Sit-to-stand from a chair 10–15 times. Make sure the movement is controlled and slow.

2️⃣ Stand on one leg. Balance is essential when it comes to keeping your body strong and durable!

3️⃣ Take the stairs, not the lift! Getting your legs to be more active in everyday movements can add to overall joint health.

Remember: pain doesn’t always mean damage. Your knees respond to how you use them, not just how old they are.

Keep them moving, keep them strong, and they’ll keep showing up for you.

Struggling with dizziness or vertigo?

A thorough assessment with Andrew can help you get to the root cause and regain control 💪

At Applecross Physiotherapy, we don’t just treat symptoms but we take the time to understand what’s causing them. During a vertigo assessment, Andrew may:

🔹 Discuss your symptoms, triggers and medical history
🔹 Conduct balance and coordination testing
🔹 Use eye movement and positional tests to help identify conditions like BPPV
🔹 Assess neck mobility and posture
🔹 Screen for other conditions or red flags to ensure safe and effective care

Following this, treatment may include:

✨ Canalith repositioning techniques (such as the Epley maneuver) for BPPV
✨ Vestibular rehabilitation exercises to retrain your brain and body
✨ Balance and coordination training to restore stability and confidence

If vertigo is holding you back, you don’t have to just “wait it out.” Support and effective treatment are available.

📞 Call 9316 1186 to book your assessment with Andrew today!
