PHYSIOTALK with Caitlin is here! Perfect timing in the lead up to pre-season training 🏀⚽🏐🏏🏉🏑

Have you noticed kids quitting sport sooner than expected? Or returning injured season after season? In Australia, nearly one-third of young people drop out of organised sport between ages 10–14; a period when physical skills, confidence and social bonds can flourish, but often don’t. For years, research has shown that kids who participate in regular youth sport receive a variety of benefits including better physical health, teamwork skills, self-esteem and social connections. So why are we seeing such a high dropout rate?

Well, growing evidence shows that one of the underlying drivers of this trend, is repetitive training and early specialisation in a single sport without adequate variety or rest. Research shows that young athletes who focus year-round on just one sport, especially at high training volumes, are at a greater risk of overuse injuries compared to kids who play a range of sports throughout the year. These injuries aren’t just painful, they can lead to burnout, extended time away from play, and ultimately contribute to early dropout from sports altogether.

This means it’s not just what your child plays, but how and when they play that counts. Mixing different activities and scheduling regular breaks isn’t just “nice to have”, it’s an evidence-based strategy that supports long-term engagement in sport and physical activity.

Engaging in multiple sports helps broaden a child’s movement skill base, supports balanced muscular development and can even improve neuromuscular control. This means better body awareness, coordination and a lower risk of injuries. Exposure to different sports disciplines also tends to keep kids motivated and engaged because they experience variety, new challenges, and different social groups, all of which encourage lifelong activity.

Another important piece of the year-round sport puzzle is rest. Kids aren’t just training like adults, they’re growing at the same time, which means rest and recovery are even more important. Encouraging a break at the end of the year, rather than continuous training, gives muscles, joints and minds a chance to recover and adapt. Rest periods help reduce accumulated stress on growing tissues, lower the likelihood of overuse injury, and can boost enthusiasm for the next sporting season.

As local physiotherapists, we’re here to support families with tailored advice on safe sport participation, injury prevention and healthy development. If you have questions about your child’s sporting load, injury concerns or want help planning a balanced activity year, please reach out to us at Physique. We love to help kids stay active, strong and injury free.

Physiotalk with Neil - Merry Christmas!🎄🎄🎄

Physique has had another wonderful year looking after our community.

Every single day in the clinic we are reminded of how special Tamborine Mountain is and reflect on how blessed we are to be a part of this community. Physique wouldn’t be able to provide the care we do without our ridiculously incredible team, and I’d like to thank all of them here.

Thank you to Caitlin for stepping up and out of your comfort zone to become a leader within the clinic and for your patients. You have excelled all year and have been incredible with your level of knowledge, courage, love and commitment. The way you care for your clients is truly a blessing.

Thank you to Jacqui for continuing to bring the joy to Physique. Your smile lights up the mountain and it has been wonderful having you back.

Thank you to Annie for your caring and loving nature that you bring to Physique and the community. Your level of connection with your patients is legendary and the whole mountain has fallen in love with you.

Thank you, Emily, for your calm, caring and character. Your commitment to your patients and your growth as a clinician is a wonderful thing and every patient that sees you comes away much better for it.

Our front desk team are the absolute best in the business. Led by our amazing Front Office Leader, Kylee, you have shown courage, compassion, love, generosity, kindness, hospitality and just the right amount of “getting stuff done.” Thank you, Kylee, Bron, Janina and Jade. You are incredible and don’t fully realise the impact that you have on the world.

Thank you, Ingrid. This year has been wild. You are an incredible Practice Manager. You are an incredible friend, and you are an incredible person. We thank God that He brought you into our clinic and into our lives. You bless the entire mountain with your kindness and professionalism.

Thank you to Hayden and Jess. You are my very dear friends, and I am so very grateful to have you as business partners. You are both incredible parents to Harriet and Finn, wonderful mentors to all our staff and amazing clinicians for our patients. I love you both and the mountain can not thank you enough for all that you have done for this community.

Thank you to Bec. This year marks 15 years since we opened the doors of Physique. You are a wonderful physiotherapist who is kind, caring and gifted clinically. You are an incredible, fantastic and fabulous wife and mother. Thank you for all that you do at home and at Physique.

Physique wishes you all a merry Christmas and we hope that you have a pain free and wonderful New Year. And, of course, because pain doesn’t take a holiday, we are open every day except the public holidays. Be sure to drop in, say hello and share a choccie with us.

Emily is our physio with an extensive background in dance and ballet. Here are some exercises she ran through with the lovely Priyanka demonstrating some key foot and ankle exercises when first starting pointe work, how exciting! This skill and control required for Pointe work is remarkable. Make sure you book in for your pre-pointe assessments to ensure you’re ready to start pointe work 🩰
