🌀 Let’s twist again… but not like this 🌀

Scoliosis isn’t just “a bit of bad posture” — it’s a complex, three-dimensional curvature of the spine that can rotate as well as bend. Instead of standing tall in a straight line, the spine takes on an “S” or “C” shape when viewed from behind.

While some cases develop in childhood with no known cause (idiopathic scoliosis), others result from neurological conditions, muscle imbalances, or degenerative changes as we age. Symptoms can range from uneven shoulders and hips to stiffness, back discomfort, or even altered breathing mechanics in more severe curves.

Physiotherapy aims to help by working to improve muscular support around the spine, enhance posture awareness, and maintain flexibility and mobility - all tailored to the individual’s needs.

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 St Leonards Physiotherapy on 9438 1782 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 St Leonards Physiotherapy on 9438 1782 to make an appointment.

📚 Word of the Day: Gait /geɪt/ 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

A simple word that describes something you probably don’t think about much - how you walk.

The term gait comes from Old English gæt or g*t, meaning “a way of going” or “a step.” It’s been used for centuries to describe the unique pattern of movement each person uses to get around.

In physiotherapy, analysing your gait helps us understand how your muscles, joints and nerves are working together…or not, to keep you moving efficiently and pain-free. Small changes in gait can signal injury, weakness or imbalance.

So next time you take a step, remember: your gait is your body’s signature on the move. ✨👣
