🏃‍♀️ Strong Ankles = Better Balance, Fewer Injuries! 🦶

Your ankles do a lot more than you think — they stabilize every step, jump, and landing. Weak or stiff ankles can increase your risk of sprains, balance issues, and knee pain.

Here are 2 simple exercises to build ankle strength and stability:

1️⃣ Calf Raises
Stand on both feet, rise up onto your toes, and slowly lower down.
Want a challenge? Try one foot at a time or add a step for extra range.
Repeat 10–15 times.

2️⃣ Ankle Alphabet
Sit with one leg lifted.
Use your big toe to “draw” the alphabet in the air.
Great for improving ankle mobility and control!

💡 Tip: Do these daily to boost ankle strength, balance, and prevent injury — especially if you’re a runner or play sports!

➡️ Not sure if your ankles are moving as they should? Book an assessment with our physio team — we’ll help you move stronger and steadier.

🌀 Let’s Talk About the Thoracic Spine – The “Middle” of Your Back! 🌀

The thoracic spine sits between your neck and lower back, connecting to your ribs and supporting your upper body posture. It’s often overlooked — but when it gets stiff or irritated, it can cause pain between the shoulder blades, tightness with deep breathing, or even contribute to neck and shoulder discomfort.

Unlike neck pain (cervical spine), which often affects mobility and headaches, or lower back pain (lumbar spine), which can cause stiffness and nerve pain, thoracic pain is usually linked to poor posture, prolonged sitting, or rotational strain.

💪 Here are 2 simple exercises to help keep your thoracic spine happy and mobile:

1️⃣ Thoracic Extension Over a Foam Roller
Sit on the floor with a foam roller across your upper back.
Support your head and gently extend backward over the roller.
Hold for 3–5 seconds, roll slightly, and repeat for 8–10 reps.

2️⃣ Open Book Stretch
Lie on your side with knees bent and arms together in front of you.
Slowly open your top arm across your body, rotating your upper spine until you feel a gentle stretch.
Return to start and repeat 10 times per side.

💡 Tip: These moves help improve posture, mobility, and relieve that “mid-back tightness” many desk workers feel!

➡️ Still struggling with thoracic or upper back pain? Our physiotherapists can assess your movement, identify the cause, and get you moving comfortably again. Book your assessment today!

💡 What Is Your Pelvic Floor & Why It Matters – Our New Physiotherapist Can Help 💡

Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the base of your pelvis that supports important organs like your bladder, bowel, and the va**na. Just like any other muscles in your body, they need to be strong and flexible to work properly.

🩺 When things aren’t working right, you might notice:
• Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, run, or laugh
• Trouble controlling wind or bowel movements
• Pain during s*x or tampon use
• Pelvic pain or erectile dysfunction in men

📊 Did you know?
Around 70% of women will reduce or completely stop leaking with proper pelvic floor muscle training!

🏃‍♀️ How to take care of your pelvic floor:
• It’s not just about doing “Kegels” — get assessed to see if you need strengthening, coordination, or even relaxation
• Avoid sudden changes to your exercise routine
• Modify activities if you experience symptoms
• Be mindful of posture, weightlifting, and prolonged standing if you have issues like prolapse

👩‍⚕️ When should you seek help?
If your symptoms are getting worse, impacting your lifestyle, or you’re unsure how to engage the right muscles, it’s time to see a specialist pelvic health physio. They can help tailor a plan just for you.

👉 Don’t suffer in silence — pelvic floor issues are common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of.
