A thorough assessment, and carefully thought out treatment plan will put you on the right path to recover as quickly as possible.

Ouch! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ That's got to hurt!

I have had the privilege of assisting this young athlete on his journey after breaking his clavicle and undergoing surgical repair.

Fun fact: they don't always surgically repair broken clavicles! Every case is different but for this patient, a surgical repair was decided on given the young man's promising Judo career ahead.

Another fun fact: a fracture is often written as a hashtag ( #) in medical shorthand!

I'm very happy with how he is progressing 12 weeks post surgery- full range of motion, and gaining functional strength already ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ Super excited to give him the green light to go back to Judo ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

One of my favourite things to do as a physio is to help people return to doing what they love the most!

If you or someone you know is scheduled to have a hip or knee replacement surgery, it's vitally important that you receive the right post-operative care? โœ…

Not every hospital automatically refers patients to a physiotherapist upon discharge, so it's crucial to take the initiative and schedule an appointment with a physiotherapist within the first week after the surgery ๐Ÿ“†

This way, you can start your recovery journey promptly, rather than waiting for six weeks or more...

Rest assured, we won't push you into intense exercises right away ๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Instead, we can assist with managing swelling, early range of motion exercises, gait normalisation, assistance with walking aids, and gradually introducing appropriate graded exposure and exercise rehabilitation ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

We have helped tons of people with hip and knee replacements and we've consistently observed that those who start their rehabilitation early achieve the best and fastest results while avoiding setbacks in their recovery process โœ…โœ…โœ…

We also know that often people won't take the initiative to book themselves in right away thinking that the surgery is done and so they will be fine....only to find they are still having issues down the track due to improper post-operative management ๐Ÿ˜”

So if a loved one of yours is scheduled to have a surgery, and you want to ensure best outcomes for them, then please encourage them to book in with us ๐Ÿค— We will do our best to take care of them! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

I was shocked! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Once I treated a man in his 90's and it was his FIRST EVER physio appointment!!

I did let him know he has had a very good run, injury-wise! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Safe to say, within a few sessions he was back being pain-free and active again! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผโœ…

But it did make me realise that many people have never seen a physio, and have no idea what goes on at an appointment ๐Ÿง

Let me explain what happens, particularly in your first physio visit ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ ๐…๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ฉ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ'๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐š ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ.
This helps us get to know your relevant medical history, your physical activity profile and your specific goals for seeing a physio.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ ๐๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ, ๐ฐ๐ž ๐š๐ฌ๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐š ๐›๐ฎ๐ง๐œ๐ก ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ.
This helps us form a 'hypothesis' as to what the problem could be.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ ๐“๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ฐ๐ž ๐๐จ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ.
This is unique to every person and injury. We need to conduct a physical assessment to test our hypothesis.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ ๐“๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ข๐ง ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ & ๐ญ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ
From our assessments, we explain our findings and together we work out what the best plan of action is, starting right away! This usually involves some kind of manual therapy to immediately help reduce your pain (hands-on techniques, gliding joints, massaging muscles, dry needling, theragun, assisted movements etc.)

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ ๐“๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค (๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐จ๐Ÿ)
We let you know how to best manage your condition outside of the physio clinic. This can include lifestyle modifications and exercise prescription to rehabilitate your ache/pain/injury and help prevent it from coming back.

And there you have it! What happens at your first physio appointment with us. Of course, every assessment and treatment is tailored ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป-๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

Do you experience pain in your upper back between your shoulder blades? ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

That pesky nagging ache that no one can put their finger on! (except for a skilled clinician ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Did you know that the area of pain isn't always where the problem is? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

It's our job as physios to play detective and find out where the likely source of pain is coming from! ๐Ÿง

Some likely sources for this area of pain:
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Scapulothoracic muscles
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Thoracic facet joints
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Thoracic discs
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ And even the neck can refer to this area (and is commonly missed in this presentation!)

๐Ÿง โšก๏ธ Plus, in all cases the nervous system plays a big role in your pain and recovery!

What's important is that you get an individualised assessment and treatment from a qualified physiotherapist who can help identify the source of the pain, reduce or eliminate it, and give you advice on how you can prevent it from reoccurring.

๐Ÿง You might have Plantar Fasciitis!

Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Approximately one in ten people will experience Plantar Fasciitis in their lifetime.

Despite the โ€˜itisโ€™ in the name (which usually means inflammatory), the condition is not usually inflammatory and is sometimes called Plantar Fasciopathy instead by therapists.

You might be at risk of developing Plantar Fasciitis if you have poor ankle mobility, increased BMI, or stand for prolonged periods of time. It also tends to be more common in runners.

Most people with Plantar Fasciitis will improve within 12 months but there are some things you could be doing to help your body speed up the recovery process.

Whilst there are some common treatments, I like to assess people individually to make sure we are addressing your specific limitations which we discover in your first appointment...
