5 Simple Stretches to Relieve Back Pain 🧘‍♂️💪

Back pain doesn’t have to slow you down! These five simple stretches target the lower back, hips, and shoulders, helping to ease tension and improve mobility:

🐱 Cat-Cow Stretch – gently mobilises the spine and eases stiffness.
🦵 Knee-to-Chest – releases tension in the lower back and hips.
🔄 Seated Spinal Twist – improves rotational mobility and posture.
🧸 Child’s Pose – stretches the back and shoulders for relaxation.
🤲 Shoulder Rolls – relieves upper back and neck tightness from desk work.

Posture matters too — keep your spine supported and avoid slouching during stretches. If pain persists, it’s always wise to seek professional guidance.

💬 Have you tried these stretches before? Which one helps you the most? Let us know in the comments!

Importance of Stretching: Prevent Injury with Simple Daily Routines 🤸‍♀️🦵

Stretching isn’t just for athletes — it helps everyone! Regular gentle stretching keeps muscles like the hamstrings, calves, hip flexors, and shoulders flexible, improves joint mobility, and helps your body move more efficiently.

Even simple daily routines, like reaching overhead, bending to touch your toes, or rolling your shoulders, can reduce muscle tightness, improve posture, and lower the risk of strains or overuse injuries.

📞 Call 02 9838 3030 to make an appointment with one of our physiotherapists at Philip Wood Physiotherapy. We’re here to help you move safely and feel your best.

Word of the Day: Humerus 😄🦴

We promise this isn’t going to get too humerus… okay, maybe just a little! The humerus is the long bone in your upper arm — the real MVP of lifting, reaching, and flailing dramatically when your favourite song comes on.
Without it, your arm would be bone-idle, your biceps would be out of work, and your rotator cuff would be left hanging (literally). So yes, the humerus really raises the bar!

But when things go wrong — tightness, strains, or rotator cuff issues — it’s no laughing matter. That’s where physiotherapy comes in, helping the muscles around the humerus work properly again so you can move freely and comfortably.

💬 Got a favourite pun or “humerus” moment? Share it in the comments below — we could all use a laugh while we work on our upper arm health!

Knee pain cramping your style? 🦵😩

Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp twinge, or that “why is it clicking like that?” moment, knee pain is one of the most common complaints we see, and it doesn’t just affect runners or athletes.

Pain can come from irritated joints, overloaded tendons, muscle imbalances, or old injuries that never quite healed. The good news? Physiotherapy helps identify what’s really going on and gets you moving again with less pain and more confidence.

We don’t just treat the knee. We look at how your hips, feet, posture and habits all play a role.

Call Philip Wood Physiotherapy on 02 9838 3030 if your knees need a bit of TLC. Or tell us in the comments what's been bugging your joints lately!

Is it sciatica… or just a pain in the bum? 🍑

Sciatica isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a symptom. It refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. The result? Pain, tingling, numbness or weakness that travels from your lower back down the back of your leg, sometimes all the way to your foot.

It can be caused by a number of issues, like a disc bulge, tight muscles (hello, piriformis), or joint dysfunction. That’s why physiotherapy focuses on finding the cause, not just treating the pain.
We’ll assess your movement, identify the source of pressure on the nerve, and create a plan to ease symptoms and improve function.
Need help with that radiating pain? Call Philip Wood Physiotherapy on 02 9838 3030 to make an appointment.

Protein talk: what’s “complete” really mean? 🍗🐟🥩

A complete protein contains all 9 essential amino acids, the ones your body can’t make on its own. These are the building blocks your body needs to repair muscle, support recovery, and keep things running smoothly.

You’ll find complete proteins in foods like fish, poultry, and red meat, but also in eggs, dairy, and some plant-based combos (like rice and beans -and no you don’t need to eat them together to get the benefit!)

Getting enough protein is especially important if you’re recovering from injury or building strength.

Stat of the Month 📊

❤️ More than half a billion people worldwide are living with cardiovascular disease. In 2021 alone, it was responsible for 20.5 million deaths.
That’s not just a number, it’s a global wake-up call.
Cardiovascular health isn’t just about your heart, it’s about your whole system working in sync: blood flow, oxygen delivery, and the way your body moves every day.

Regular physical activity, even something as simple as walking or stretching, plays a powerful role in protecting your heart. Physiotherapists help you stay active in safe, sustainable ways, whether you're managing a condition or trying to prevent one.

Need support staying active and heart-healthy? Book in with one of our physios today.

Today is R U OK? Day 💛

It’s a reminder that a simple question “Are you OK?” can start a life-changing conversation. Mental health and physical health are deeply connected. When we’re not coping mentally, it can show up in our bodies… and when we’re in pain, it can take a toll emotionally too.
As physiotherapists, we often hear the stories behind the injuries. We know that what hurts in the body can sometimes run deeper.

So today, take a moment to check in - with your loved ones, your colleagues, and yourself. And if someone isn’t OK, just listen. You don’t have to fix it. Just being there matters.

💬 If you’re comfortable, share one small thing that’s helped you feel better in the comments below.

Happy World Physical Therapy Day! a.k.a ‘World Physio Day’! 🌍🦵💪

Every year on 8th September, we celebrate the vital role that physiotherapists, also known as physical therapists, play in helping people move better, feel stronger, and recover from injury.

Depending on where you are in the world, the profession might be called physiotherapy or physical therapy, but the goal is the same: to restore movement, reduce pain, and support lifelong health and function.
Here’s to all the physios and physical therapists making a difference one step, stretch and squat at a time.
