🦵⚡ Staying ahead with the latest brace technology!
Our team recently had an inservice with Whitely Allcare, learning about the newest knee and ankle braces, including the ZAMST knee and ankle brace, as well as the latest Air Moonboots.
💡 Why does this matter for you?
Braces like the ZAMST knee support can help manage symptoms during running or sport, providing extra stability and reducing strain on the joint.
Unlike traditional braces (e.g., MULLER), ZAMST braces are designed with lighter, more flexible materials that allow better movement while still offering targeted support. This makes them especially popular with athletes who want protection without sacrificing performance.
Ankle braces and moonboots can support recovery from injuries, helping you return to activity safely.
✨ Did you know?
ACC can cover up to $138 towards a knee brace under relevant injury claims. They also cover the cost of moonboots and up to 2 weeks of crutch hire. At Physiomechanics, your physiotherapist can help arrange this for you if it’s suitable for your recovery and needs — making the process simple and affordable.
By keeping up to date with the latest products, we can give you the best recommendations to support your recovery, performance, and confidence in movement.
Big thanks to Whitely Allcare for sharing their knowledge with us 🙌

When it comes to running, efficiency and technique 🏃‍♀️⚡ matter just as much as endurance. Good biomechanics help you:
✅ Reduce your risk of injury 🤕
✅ Improve running performance 🏅
✅ Make every step feel smoother & more natural 🌿 Focusing on how you run, not just how far, sets the foundation for safer, stronger, and more enjoyable running.

If you’re eyeing spring or summer running goals — whether it’s a race, a fitness milestone, returning from injury or just getting back into a consistent routine — starting NOW gives you the best chance to build real momentum.
Here’s why early prep matters:
✅ Build a Strong Foundation
Jumping into high mileage or intense workouts without a base is one of the fastest routes to burnout or injury. Starting now allows you to gradually increase your volume and intensity, while reinforcing proper form and movement patterns. Lowering the chance of running related injuries!!
✅ Injury Prevention Starts Early
When you ramp up too fast, you risk overuse injuries. This month is the time to focus on mobility, strength, and movement quality so your body is ready for the demands of the season ahead.
✅ Consistency Over Intensity
Spring prep is about laying bricks, not building castles overnight. A consistent routine built now will make higher-level training feel easier — and more enjoyable — later on.
✅ Better Weather, Better Habits
Mild temperatures and longer days mean better conditions for outdoor training and habit formation. Get in the groove now so when life gets busy or race day approaches, the hard part’s already done.

⚠️ Common Running Injuries & How Physios Can Help You Bounce Back 🏃‍♂️💥
Running is simple — but not always easy on the body.
With every stride, your muscles, joints, and tendons absorb high loads — and without the right support, overuse injuries can sneak up quickly. The good news? Most of these are preventable and treatable with the right physio guidance.
🏥 Here are some of the most common running injuries we see:
🔹 Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain)
Pain around or behind the kneecap, especially after hills or long runs.
🔹 Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
That dull ache along the front or inside of the shin — often caused by ramping up too quickly.
🔹 ITB Syndrome
Outer knee pain caused by friction of the iliotibial band — common in runners with weak hips or poor movement patterns.
🔹 Plantar Fasciitis
Heel pain that hits hardest in the morning or after long periods on your feet.
🔹 Achilles Tendinopathy
Pain or stiffness in the Achilles tendon — especially first thing in the morning or after speed work.
💡 How Physiotherapy Helps:
✅ Accurate Diagnosis
A physio doesn’t just treat the symptoms — they identify the why behind the injury: movement imbalances, overtraining, poor footwear, or mobility restrictions.
✅ Hands-On Treatment & Rehab
From manual therapy and dry needling to tailored rehab programs, physios provide a step-by-step plan to reduce pain and rebuild strength.
✅ 3D Running Analysis & Gait Scans
Tools like our 3D running assessments, and Biomechanical assessments can pinpoint how your body moves — and what needs adjusting — to prevent future flare-ups.
✅ Strength, Mobility & Movement Coaching
Physios help retrain your movement patterns, improve load tolerance, and develop strength in the right areas (hello, glutes and calves 👋).
💬 Struggling with a ni**le that just won’t go away? Or want to stop a small issue before it becomes a big one?
A running-focused physio can be the difference between resting and racing.
