New research suggests that stable, supportive shoes (with cushioning and structure) may help reduce knee pain when walking compared with very flat, flexible shoes. In one clinical trial, people with knee osteoarthritis who wore supportive footwear experienced significantly greater pain reduction over six months than those wearing flat shoes.

Supportive shoes help by absorbing impact and improving lower-limb alignment, which may reduce stress on the knee and hip joints during walking.

What to look for in a good shoe if you have arthritis:
• Good cushioning
• Stable, supportive sole
• Comfortable fit with adequate arch support

If you have persistent hip or knee pain, getting the right footwear advice and exercise plan can make a big difference.

📍 If you’d like help with arthritis management, feel free to speak to our team at Acland Street Physiotherapy.

Until now, health experts have assumed stable and supportive shoes are the best for people with osteoarthritis. But a new study shows this isn’t always the case.

Proud to see our own principal physio Barry Nguyen featured in the latest InMotion discussing the responsible use of AI in physiotherapy.

As AI becomes more common in allied health, one thing remains unchanged: clinicians are fully accountable for every document submitted under their name.

“Technology should support clinical judgement, not replace it.”

Barry is a member of the APA’s new AI Advisory Group and shares practical insights on where AI helps, where it doesn’t, and why appropriate oversight matters.

James delivers a structured, evidence-based, and individualised approach, combining hands-on therapy with targeted strength and running-specific exercises. He prioritises education and progressive load management to support a safe, confident return to running and long-term enjoyment of the sport.

For our runners - and those getting back into it 🏃‍♂️

Our Principal Physiotherapist Barry Nguyen is now an Athletics Australia accredited Recreational Running Coach.

This means clearer return-to-run plans, better injury prevention, and more structured guidance for anyone starting, restarting, or building consistency with running.

Same care. Even stronger support for runners at every stage.

We’re pleased to welcome James Le to the extended OMSC family.

James has recently joined the team at Acland Street Physiotherapy, where he’s being mentored by Barry, and brings with him a strong background as a former elite sprinter and newly qualified physiotherapist. He’s also playing an important role in supporting the setup of Melbourne Running Clinic. You’ll likely see James around the club this season, so be sure to make him feel welcome.

With pre-season approaching, it’s a great time for players to check in with Barry, James and Shirouz to ensure they’re in the best shape heading into the year.

🏃‍♀️‍➡️ Why Middle-Aged Adults Should Add Sprinting To Their Week

Sprinting isn’t just for athletes. Even short bursts of 5–10 seconds deliver major health benefits, especially for adults in their 40s and 50s.

Here’s what the research shows sprinting can do:
• Improve insulin sensitivity and heart health
• Reduce visceral fat
• Preserve fast-twitch muscle fibres that decline with age
• Boost testosterone and growth hormone
• Increase VO₂max and running performance
• Strengthen bones
• Improve cognitive function via BDNF
• Support longevity by maintaining power and gait speed

If you’re active and want to stay strong, lean and sharp as you age, sprinting is one of the highest-return exercises you can do.

If you’re unsure how to start safely, our physios can help you build a personalised sprint or interval plan based on your current fitness and injury history.
