Luckily this trend is fading 😅
More patients realise the value of healthy lifestyle changes and taking responsibility for their health - yes that does include doing their prescribed exercises during rehabilitation.

Teamwork is crucial!

You don't need fancy equipment!

You need to stop waiting for the “perfect setup”
and start showing up with purpose.

So funny! The story usually starts with "so we were at this party/wedding/event/braai and I wanted to show the guys my party trick from 1990..."

The best posture is your next posture!

🧍‍♂️ PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 🧍‍♀️

❌ Myth: “Good posture means sitting up straight all the time.”
✅ Fact: The best posture is your next posture! 🔄

Holding any position for too long — even a “perfect” one — can cause discomfort. Physiotherapists recommend frequent movement and posture variation to keep your body happy and pain-free.

So yes, sit tall — but also shift, stretch, and stand often! 🪑➡️🧍‍♀️➡️🧘‍♂️

Osteoarthritis is not only due to wear and tear! You have more controll than you think❗️ 💪🏊‍♀️🏌💃🏾🚴🧘‍♀️🤼‍♀️🤸🏃🏼‍♀️

We used to think osteoarthritis was “wear and tear.”
But it turns out it’s more than mechanics. Much more than mechanics.

It’s genetic.
It’s metabolism.
It’s inflammation.
It’s systemic.

Your joints don’t break down from movement.

Our joints break down more from not moving.

That means you have more control than you think.
Improve your habits. Improve your health.
Your joints will thank you.

💡 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!

Lack of sleep can impair performance and increase injury risk 😴

Sleep is a key component of physical and emotional recovery and yet is often neglected by athletes and patients during recovery.

Whether you are recovering from surgery, an injury, or training for an event - remember to get those zzzzzz's
