Ankle sprains are commonly under-treated.

Moonboot for 4–6 weeks… then off you go.

But 40–70% of people will re-sprain within a year.

Even if scans show ligament damage, research shows rehab is usually the best path.

Surgery has a role sometimes. If I think it’s needed, I’ll connect you with the best surgeon for your specific condition.

Most people unknowingly load the ankle in the same risky pattern that caused the injury.

If you don’t have time for this ankle sprain — let alone the next one — comment “ANKLE” below and I’ll reach out to help.

If I’m not the right person for you, I’ll point you to the next steps to recover faster and reduce your risk of reinjury.

“No Surgery, No Problem 👇”

Did you know many people recover from ACL injuries without surgery?

✔️ Faster return to movement
✔️ Less risk of surgical complications
✔️ Proven outcomes with the right rehab plan

At Elite Physio, we tailor your recovery to your goals — not just your scans.

Let’s rebuild your strength, stability, and confidence — without going under the knife.

Why most ACL rehab programs miss the mark...

It’s not enough to just strengthen the knee.

✅ Quad strength? Important.

✅ Range of motion? Essential.

BUT…

What about how you move? You know those ugly “unsafe” positions you need to get into?

How you land under pressure?

How you pivot, cut, or recover from an awkward fall?

Most ACL rehab fails by focusing only on the injury — not the athlete.

👉 It forgets about the whole body.
👉 It skips preparing you for the real demands of sport.
👉 It doesn’t build the resilience you need to land ugly and get back up strong.

At Elite Physio, we look beyond the knee.

We train patterns, not just parts.

We rebuild confidence in the chaos — not just control in the clinic.

🎯 Ready for rehab that actually gets you game-ready?

Let’s get to work.

🍑 “My glutes must be weak.”

Sure, strong glutes help — but they’re not the whole story.

Your glutes are part of a team.

If the hips, pelvis, trunk or even your feet aren’t doing their job, the glutes might get overloaded or shut down.

It’s not about hammering glute bridges — it’s about getting the whole system working together again.

👣 Let’s find out what’s really holding your glutes back.

🪑 “I’ve just got bad posture…”

Posture gets a bad rap. But here’s the truth:

You can have “perfect” posture and still get back pain.

You can slouch all day and be totally fine.

The issue isn’t posture itself — it’s the lack of movement and adaptability.

Your body doesn’t need to sit like a robot — it needs to move, shift, and tolerate load.

Let’s stop obsessing over the shape of your spine and start improving how it functions.

💥 “It’s my disc… my posture… my glutes… my core… my mattress…”

We hear it all the time — but are these really the cause of your back pain?

At Elite Physio, we see back pain every day — and most people have already been told what’s “to blame.” But often, those reasons are just scapegoats. They sound convincing, but they distract you from what’s actually going on.

In our latest blog, we break down the 5 biggest scapegoats of back pain — and why understanding the full picture is the key to lasting relief.

Still feeling “off” after a concussion? You’re not imagining it — and you don’t have to wait it out.

Lingering dizziness, neck pain, or headaches weeks after a concussion can be signs that your body needs more than just rest.

At Elite Physiotherapy Mackay, we treat post-concussion symptoms by looking beyond the brain — assessing how your neck, vestibular system, and nervous system are functioning.

The result? Faster, more complete recovery.

✅ Headache & neck pain relief
✅ Balance & dizziness treatment
✅ Graded return to work, study, or sport
✅ Individualised plans that work with your body

If your concussion symptoms are still hanging around, it’s time to get answers — and real solutions.

Weekend sport is back — and so is my physio brain. 😅

Since finishing our lap around Australia, my kids are into basketball and soccer, which means I’m now spending most weekends on the sidelines watching training and games.

And while I love cheering them on, I can't help but notice how many kids are running in a way that holds them back — and might even be setting them up for pain.

👉 Stiff arms
👉 Flat feet or heavy strides
👉 Struggle to be ready and agile on their toes

These poor running habits don’t just impact performance — they’re often behind things like heel pain, shin splints, knee pain, and even back pain in growing kids.

That’s why I wrote this blog: to help parents know what to look for and how to get help early.
