So the verdict is in….

I have a torn medial meniscus and evidence of a baker cyst and its rupture.

My thoughts are the baker cyst was a result of the impact on the knee and then it ruptured whilst we were away- more specifically going up the stairs on the cruise. Its rupture is a good thing as it didn’t get infected and it actually started to feel better the more I moved it.

Each week I’m able to do more… in terms of knee bend and movement but I still think it’s going to take a few more weeks of trying to heal the tear without having to get surgery.

Netball starts again next week but I reckon I might remain a scorer and bench motivator and I’m ok with that.

This is a very old post (it came up on my memories)…. But I thought I’d reshare as it’s talking about cupping on scaring- in particular a c-section scar 🙂

You can have cupping (safely) around the 6-8wk after your cesarean depending on how it is recovering.

I noticed a huge change in sensation and a huge decrease in painful pulling of where the sutures were.

Let me know if you want to give it a try.

My holidays over 😩😩😩
As always it came and went so quickly!!

We had the best time! Lots of food (and a few additional kgs coming home), beautiful 30 degree weather everyday, lots of swimming, some thrill seeking activities and just a whole lot of fun 😊

But as I said… holidays are now done and it’s back to work to round out an already busy and successful year 💪

➡️ Back in the Massage Room and next week, before getting back out there with EMP for some big events requiring medical and first aid.

✈️ I’m interstate with the SA Crowns Netball team early November and looking forward to restarting work with the A-League traveling teams around then too.

✂️ So it’s time to cut these nails back to a working length and get back to it.

See you all soon 🙌 😃

Soo…. I played my GF 🙌
Not to the standard and capacity I would’ve loved to, but I got my knee good enough in the 2wks since hurting it to be able to run, jump and change direction and at about 80%… so that’s a win!

So what happened? And how did I manage it?

Basically landed on my knee.. but not on the tibial aspect. I landed on the top of the patella and essentially the space between the patella and the femur. Weird spot really.

It hurt like F*** but was able to play on.

When I got home I started RICER straight away and for the next 3 days couldn’t bend it or put pressure on it… and fair enough.

By the Monday the swelling has reduced but felt nervey and super sore in 1x particular spot! Fracture?!?

All tests say no fracture but I’d never done this before so had to rule it out.

Xray was negative to fracture but inconclusive in one section due to the amount of swelling still present.

Until my game, my priority was the management of swelling so when I could I got off it and either iced it or got the ultra sound machine to it.
I did this daily 2-3x per day and was diligent with it. A life saver!!

On the day of the final I taped my knee early to get used to movement and it worked a treat.

I’m still not sure what the prognosis is… and I’ve now gone backwards in progress now the swelling and nerviness has returned but I’ll just continue icing and using the machine even when I go away and hope for the best.

MRI is booked for when I get back… hopefully I don’t need it though 🤞

The Suns never won a game when I worked for them (they still haven’t won in Adelaide)…. But that win against Freo just at now was something special!

What a game! What a story!
Get behind the underdog… ❤️💛

Diary is open for sports and event work from October!

With a comprehensive amount of experience working with soccer, cricket and basketball athletes over the last 15yrs, I look forward to working with a variety of teams when they come into Adelaide.

(I am taking a break from Sept 15-Sept 27 so may not respond straight away)

Found this little gem from 3years ago…

And he’s eyeballing his dad to get out of the way of the TV so he can have optimal viewing while he gets his legs worked on 🙃

Check this out…

I bought both of these pairs of shoes AT THE SAME TIME ( 8-9mths ago) 🫢

1 pair I wear everyday; walking to and from school, 6hrs in the massage room and if I go for a run I wear these (prob shouldn’t but I do).
The other pair I wear only for netball: so 1-2 games a week for 90mins.

Which one do you think are my netball shoes and which are my everyday shoes???

If you’re thinking white are my netball shoes you’re wrong 😳

Just goes to show the wear on the soles from sharp pivots and hard landings and why you should definitely have a sport specific pair of shoes too… the wear and tread is completely different.

A song comes on over my sound system….. and client goes;

“have you heard of Disturbed? (as they did a cover of the song that was playing)”

And I go….

“ yeah!!! I’ve worked for them!”

Client then almost jumps up off the table with “ whaaaat?!?!” 😆 😆

My little massage room in my house, is where I do spend most of my working hours…. But every now and again I pick up a cool gig that takes me somewhere completely different and very very cool!

Ive done a few bands now since Disturbed, and really hope I get the opportunity to work with another band coming into Adelaide again soon 🤞

If your junior athlete is getting taped before every game, my question to you is;what is the tape helping them gain or avoid?

In the off season, it is probably time to work on ways to eliminate the tape!

- Can you spend time improving stability and control? 🤔
- Could ex*****on and technique be fine tuned?
- Could they benefit from a rest from running volume and load?

Don’t be tempted to have them just merge into the next season and/or sport if they’re finishing up this season in tape.

Seek advise and find ways to prevent the need for tape when their young- they shouldn’t need it… yet

And just like that tonight is the game of the season for my daughter’s netball team.

This season I took on the role of coach for her 11&U team and wow I have learnt a lot about the young netballer 💪 🥰 🏃

- Irrespective of height, they all have super tight calves with some developing foot or knee pain.

- They still don’t know how to jump properly and only load from their calves and ankles not their quads (probably why they also feel their calves so much)

- There’s a very fine line with pushing them to work harder… but like us adults if you can find it you then are witness to some remarkable efforts and performances

- Everyone prefers playing in summer over winter…. Especially when it’s as cold and wet as it’s been.

Elsy and I are still on good terms 😉 … we haven’t butted heads much- she was brilliant actually with all the additional pressure that comes with being the coaches kid 🥰

Looking forward to coaching break and looking forward to seeing what the next season has to offer… for her and if I’m coaching again.

Last Sunday this legend and her friend completed the full distance Federation Trail run from Monarto to Murray Bridge (56km)!!

Both came in for a pre run flush and then a post run recovery session on the Monday!

I was expecting them to crawl in from the car to the table on the Monday but they both walked in and only complained of fatigue and stiffness!

How AWESOME is that…. And at that point I was sore from doing only a 5km run the day before 😬🤨

I have so much pride for these two ladies and what they are achieving this year with their goals and events!

It’s taking hard work and discipline to get it done…. But they’re getting it done!
