Coming back from injury can be tough — and just because you’re pain-free doesn’t always mean you’re ready for sport. Far too often, athletes return to play without fully addressing the strength, control, and movement deficits that caused or resulted from their injury. That’s where objective testing makes the difference.

At Manning Physio, we use advanced return-to-sport assessments to measure key indicators like strength, symmetry, power, and landing control. This data-driven approach removes the guesswork, giving you and your physio clear insight into whether you’re truly ready — not just “feeling better.”

By identifying hidden weaknesses and correcting them before you step back on the pitch, court, or track, you’ll reduce your risk of re-injury and build the confidence you need to perform at your best.

Be sure to congratulate Matt when you see him in the clinic!

Following up on World Physio Day's theme of "healthy aging", let's talk about a crucial component: Heart health. A strong heart is key to a vibrant and active life, and one of the best ways to keep it in top shape is through resistance training.

It's not just about bulking up; it's about building a foundation for long-term well-being. Regular strength training not only builds muscle but also significantly boosts your cardiovascular health. It can help improve blood pressure, lower bad cholesterol, and increase overall heart efficiency.

Manning Physio's Exercise of the Month: The Hopping Movement 🤸‍♀️

This month, we're spotlighting hopping movements! Hopping exercises are an invaluable tool at Manning Physio, serving a dual purpose in lower limb rehabilitation. We use them as a test for readiness to return to sport and as a key component of our rehab programs.

Hopping is a fantastic way to measure a patient's progress and ensure they can handle the demands of their sport safely. By moving from simple on-the-spot hops to more complex multiple hops with changes in direction, we can progressively improve a patient's lower limb function. These movements are specifically designed to improve strength, enhance balance, and restore neuromuscular control, all of which are critical for an athlete to perform at their best and reduce their risk of re-injury.

In the photo for this post, you can see Scott, our physio, performing the hop-and-return test on our force decks. These decks are a sophisticated piece of technology that allows us to precisely measure deficits and improvements in a patient's lower limb function. The hop-and-return movement is a mid-level challenge where the person starts on one leg, hops to the side (e.g., right leg hopping to the left with the right foot), and then quickly hops back to the starting position, "sticking" the landing with control. This gives us crucial data on their power, stability, and symmetry between legs, helping us to guide their rehabilitation with precision and confidence.

September 8th marks World Physiotherapy Day, and this year's theme is "Healthy Aging." Healthy aging is a proactive approach to managing your health by implementing lifestyle habits and routines that help you look after your body and stay mobile for longer. It's about taking steps to reduce the impact of age-related changes, such as the loss of bone mineral density, muscle mass, and balance. It also involves caring for your heart, lungs, and so much more.

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in helping you age well. With our expertise in treating musculoskeletal injuries and conditions like arthritis, and our knowledge of exercise programs, we can help you maintain and improve your balance, muscle strength, and bone density.

This day isn't just for the elderly—it's for people of all ages. We all get a day older every day and are constantly aging. Healthy aging starts today.

If you would like to learn more about how you can look after your health and well-being, why not book an appointment to see a physiotherapist today on World Physiotherapy Day?

📢 Part 5 of 5: National Road Victim Month 🛑

For the final post in our series, we are looking at specific injuries that can result from a car crash: seatbelt sign and seatbelt syndrome.

While wearing a seatbelt is the most effective safety measure to significantly reduce the risk of death or serious injury, the immense force of a collision can still cause injuries where the seatbelt is located. A seatbelt sign is a visible bruise or abrasion, and its presence is a key indicator that significant force has been applied to the body. More serious underlying issues are known as seatbelt syndrome.

After a significant motor vehicle accident, it is crucial to be checked out at the Emergency Department or by your GP. Early detection and appropriate management are essential for the best outcomes. If there is pain and/or visible bruising over the neck, chest, or abdomen, scans may be needed to check for underlying trauma to your organs, nerves, or bones.

It's also important to be aware that signs and symptoms can sometimes be delayed. If you've been cleared and discharged but later develop increased pain, or experience bleeding in your urine or stool within 24 hours, it's vital to return to your doctor to be rechecked.

For many, injuries are mild, involving soft tissue bruising of the muscles and skin. These can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy, ice, gentle movement, and time. Our team at Manning Physio is here to help you recover from these injuries and get back to normal function.
