Are you bendy, flexible, double jointed, or been called ‘hypermobile’? If so, it is important to keep your muscles strong to support your ‘bendy’ joints. Dr Charlotte Ganderton has recently completed a study in circus performers with shoulder instability and found that 12-weeks of exercise significantly reduced shoulder pain, improved their shoulder movement, function and improved their strength, as well as their performance and balance in handstand. Call 95293333 to book in and see Charlotte if you would like your shoulder, or performing arts injury assessed and treated.

Do you have pain at the side of your hip, or have been diagnosed with hip ‘bursitis’ or ‘tendon tears’? You may have a completely manageable condition called Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (or Gluteal Tendinopathy). Dr Charlotte Ganderton has studied this condition extensively, undertaking a large clinical trial as part of her PhD. She looked at the effect of an exercise and education program on pain and dysfunction of the hip, and found very positive results for both interventions, but in particular education. This may involve learning about the potential causes for your hip pain, as we as strategies to decrease your pain. Call 95293333 to book an appointment with Charlotte or one of our Hip and Groin Clinic Team members.

We know that running provides us with great health benefits but variances in running technique can alter certain tissues and therefore alter your performance. A running assessment is a great tool used to assess the way in which each individual walks or runs. A Physiotherapist will look at the biomechanics of your gait, looking at posture, range of joint movement and muscle length and strength. The method used for this assessment will give the physiotherapist insight into any biomechanical faults that could potentially cause injury or impede performance. Whether you’re a first time runner or athlete looking to improve performance, a running assessment is highly beneficial and rewarding. To book in for an assessment please call 03 9529 3333.

Running is something that the vast majority of us have done at some point in our life, whether that be playing in the playground to running competitively. What sets it apart from every other sport is that there is this assumed knowledge that everyone knows how to run.
Compare it to the other childhood skills such as reading, writing, riding a bike, and swimming. All of these are complex skills that require a degree of practice and rehearsal before mastering. Very few people take the time to master their running mechanics although there is clear evidence that there can be significant performance outcomes in running velocity, economy, and efficiency. As well as this, there are certain biomechanical traits that can increase your risk of certain types of injuries.
Each and every one of us are individuals and we will all have our own unique ways of doing things dependent on our physical make up and abilities. For example a flexible person may be able to touch the ground without bending their knees. Peoples strength, flexibility, bone and joint geometry, tissue compliance, and neural control will all alter the way that someone performs a task. For this reason when looking at runners, even at the top end, there are unique characteristics that set apart two different runners as a means of finding their own most efficient pattern.
BUT there are characteristics that are common among faster runners that separate them from slower runners. Such as shin angles, vertical force projection into the ground (horizontal if accelerating), swing mechanics, and lower limb stiffness. This is what is trainable.
Therefore just as a golfer will spend countless hours practicing their golf swing so as they can lower their handicap, why don’t we refine and perfect our running technique so we can run faster and perform better? Whether it is for your next fun run, for your speed and endurance within ball sports, or you’re rehabilitating from an injury and trying to remaster the movement patterns, it makes a lot of sense, and while you’re at it you might find you get rid of those recurrent niggles and find greater enjoyment in running.
