💥 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 💥

❌ Myth: “Physiotherapy is just massage and exercise.”
✅ Fact: Physiotherapy is so much more! 🙌

Physios are movement and health professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions — from sports injuries and chronic pain to neurological, respiratory, paediatrics, and pelvic health issues.

💡 Think: rehabilitation, prevention, education, hands-on techniques, and personalised care — all rolled into one profession!

🧠 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 🧠

❌ Myth: “You need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist.”
✅ Fact: You can go directly to a physiotherapist without a referral! 🙌

Physios are first-line practitioners – trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions. Early access = faster recovery. Why wait?

💡 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 💡

❌ Myth: "If you have back pain, you should rest and avoid movement."

✅ Fact: Movement is medicine! 🚶‍♂️💪 Gentle activity and targeted exercises can actually help reduce pain and speed up recovery. Complete rest can sometimes make things worse by causing stiffness and weakness. If in doubt, consult a physio!

🔥 Movement Monday: Chair Squats for Strength & Stability! 🔥
Looking for a simple yet effective way to build lower body strength? Try chair squats! 💪🏽🏋️‍♂️

✅ How to do it:
1️⃣ Stand in front of a sturdy chair with feet hip-width apart.
2️⃣ Lower yourself slowly as if sitting down, keeping your back straight & knees aligned.
3️⃣ Lightly touch the chair, then push through your heels to stand back up.
4️⃣ Repeat 10-15 times.

🔹 Great for leg strength, balance, and mobility—perfect for all fitness levels!
🔹 Modify by using arm support or reducing depth if needed.
