✨ 5 Signs You Need a Circus Physio ✨

Flying, flipping, bending, and hanging push your body beyond the usual limits. But sometimes your body is sending you signals it needs extra support. Here are 5 red flags every circus & aerial artist should watch for:

1️⃣ Persistent shoulder pinch or instability — especially in hangs or inversions.
2️⃣ Wrists that won’t settle — grip-heavy acts leaving pain long after class.
3️⃣ Back pain with deep bends — bridges and chest stands shouldn’t feel like a battle.
4️⃣ Hamstring or hip tightness that never improves — stretching alone isn’t cutting it.
5️⃣ Pain limiting your creativity — when you start avoiding tricks or skipping training.

💡 Circus physio isn’t just about injuries. It’s about:
✅ Building resilience in high-demand joints
✅ Supporting mobility without losing strength
✅ Keeping you training, creating, and performing with confidence

👉 Don’t wait until pain steals the show — your body is your art form.

Sauna, cold plunge, and that crisp mountain air = the recovery we didn’t know we needed 🌲🔥❄️

Yesterday we took some proper time to downregulate at the Blue Mountains Sauna — and it was a reminder:

Recovery isn’t just about what you do in the gym. It’s about how well your nervous system can switch off and reset.

What it supported:
🧠 Nervous system regulation
💤 Sleep + recovery quality
💪 Muscle relaxation & circulation
🧘‍♀️ Mental clarity and stress relief

Whether you’re rehabbing, training hard, or just feeling drained — this kind of recovery is essential, not optional.

📍Highly recommend if you need a full-body (and full-brain) reset.

🎥 Things I Would Never Do as a Physio (And What to Do Instead)

Because prevention > rehab every time.

❌ 1. Sit for 8 hours without moving

🟢 Instead: Set a timer every 45–60 minutes to stand, stretch, or take a quick walk. Your spine, hips, and brain will thank you.

⸻

❌ 2. Ignore shoulder pain for weeks

🟢 Instead: Address it early. Small aches can turn into chronic issues if left too long. Early physio = faster recovery.

⸻

❌ 3. Stretch only when I’m injured

🟢 Instead: Make mobility part of your weekly routine. Think of it as brushing your teeth — small, regular habits > big fix later.

⸻

❌ 4. Train hard without recovery

🟢 Instead: Recovery is training. Sleep, hydration, and rest days are part of performance — not a break from it.

⸻

❌ 5. Chase “cracks” or “clicks” as treatment

🟢 Instead: I focus on movement quality, strength, and long-term results — not short-term fixes.

⸻

✨ Aerialist Strength Series: Scapular Control, Grip & Pulling Power 💪✨

In the world of aerial, it’s not just about flexibility — strength and control are key to staying injury-free and performing at your best.

🔹 Scapular Control: Think wall slides, push-ups, and hanging shrugs. Solid scapular mechanics = smoother transitions + less shoulder strain.
🔹 Grip Strength: Whether you’re on silks or lyra, grip endurance can make or break a routine. We test it with hang time or a dynamometer squeeze.
🔹 Pulling Strength: Chin-ups and isometric holds help us assess your pulling capacity — essential for straddle-ups, beats, and clean climbs.

📌 Small imbalances here often lead to overuse, fatigue or injury — but with the right assessment and targeted rehab, we can rebuild smarter. 👏

📍Come get assessed in our new space! DM to book or learn more.

Unlocking a Dancer’s Turnout: Mobility, Activation & Control 🔥

Turnout is essential for dancers, but forcing it beyond your natural hip capacity can lead to injuries and compensations. True turnout comes from the hip joint, supported by activation, mobility, and control—not just stretching!

Understanding Turnout 🤓

Turnout relies on the deep external rotators of the hip (like the piriformis and obturator muscles), as well as the glutes, adductors, and core. If these muscles aren’t properly activated and engaged, dancers may compensate through the knees, ankles, or lower back, increasing injury risk.

Common Turnout Mistakes

❌ Forcing the feet outward without proper hip mobility
❌ Letting the knees or ankles compensate
❌ Weak glutes, core, or deep rotators leading to instability

How to Improve Your Turnout

✅ Hip Activation Drills – Banded clamshells, seated turnout pulses, isometric holds
✅ Resistance-Based Exercises – Side-lying turnout with a resistance band, standing banded turnout, arabesque pulses with resistance
✅ Core & Pelvic Stability – Single-leg balance with turnout, controlled pliés engaging deep rotators
✅ Active Mobility Work – 90/90 hip transitions, controlled hip CARs (controlled articular rotations)

Turnout isn’t just about range—it’s about how well your body controls and sustains it. Prioritizing activation and resistance-based training over passive stretching will help you maximize your natural turnout safely and effectively.

Need help optimizing your turnout? Here at Raw Element we can assess your movement patterns and provide a tailored plan to enhance your technique while keeping you injury-free. Train smart, dance strong!

Happy Friday 🔥🔥🔥
The weekend is approaching and the weather is perfect for a run. Here is our 3rd and final tip from Adrian:
The Right Shoes Matter! 👟
Wearing the wrong shoes can lead to discomfort, pain, and injuries. Adrian’s expert tip? “Your running shoes should match your foot shape, running style, and training needs.”

✅ Choose shoes that fit your foot shape & running gait
✅ Replace them every 500-800 km
✅ Get fitted by a professional if you’re unsure!
