Blood flow restriction training has some amazing benefits in an injury or post surgery rehab setting. It mimics high intensity exercise while working with lighter loads. When pain, injury or post surgery restrictions force you to work with lighter loads BFR training can help you to maintain your strength and muscle mass while minimising the risk of injury. If you aren’t injured then you’re still far better off working with heavier loads. But sometimes that’s just not on the cards for you!

Happy Birthday to our amazing physio Cassie! We hope you had a great day!!

The cross-education effect is a phenomenon whereby training one side of the body results in increased strength of the OPPOSITE side of the body. That’s right, train the left limb and get some strength gains in the right. More importantly, in a rehab setting you can minimise strength loss and muscle wasting of your injured side by continuing to train the other. In a study by Farthing et al. they casted one arm of the participants and split them randomly into either a group that performed resistance training of the opposite arm, or a group that performed no resistance training. Once the cast was removed, muscle strength changes were tested. There was a 14.7% decrease in strength of the casted arm of the group who received no training, but NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE in the strength of the casted arm in the trained group, those who received training on the opposite side. The cross-education effect is driven by your nervous system, and to increase the neural drive enough to benefit from this effect you’ve got to keep exercise intensity high - heavier weights, fewer reps. #physio #rehab #beachlife #injuryrecovery

Happy birthday to our physio Dane!

Hip pain in children can be caused by various factors, and it's important to see your physio for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Here are some causes of hip pain in children: 1. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) 2. Perthes disease 3. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) 4. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) 5. Trauma or injury 6. Infection 7. Periostitis 8. Overuse injuries It's crucial to consult a physio if your child has hip pain lasting more than a few days. More often than not the condition can be evaluated, diagnosed and treated by the physio, but in certain cases we will refer you on to the appropriate specialist.

Why do you need Grip Socks? For Yoga and Pilates they are great to avoid slipping, keeping feet warm and clean!

Manual therapy (hands-on treatments) can provide the following benefits: ✅ Pain Relief: Manual therapy techniques can help alleviate pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions. These techniques can target specific areas of pain, reduce feelings of muscle tension and promote relaxation. ✅ Improved Range of Motion: Manual therapy techniques can help improve joint range of motion, muscle tissue flexibility and restore comfortable movement patterns. ✅ Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Manual therapy techniques can have a calming effect on the nervous system. This can help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve overall well-being. The effects of manual therapy are often immediate, and may last for hours, days or weeks. When coupled with exercise based treatment the benefits are more significant and longer lasting. At BeachLife Physio we offer a range of manual therapy techniques as well as dry needling to help you feel better and move more comfortably, while guiding you on the exercises that will help you to become stronger, more flexible and more resilient. The combination of manual therapy and exercise can optimise the benefits of both modalities and support your journey towards recovery and improved physical well-being.

Warmup is an essential ingredient for success! #warmup

The snow season can bring about a lot of injuries if proper care isn't taken. Here are a few tips for preventing these injuries allowing you to have the best possible time on the snow!

Physiotherapists can play a valuable role in supporting individuals who train and compete in Jiu Jitsu: Injury Prevention: Physiotherapists can assess an individual's movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and biomechanics to identify areas of potential vulnerability or imbalances that may increase the risk of injuries during Jiu Jitsu training. They can provide personalised exercises and guidance to address these issues, improving overall body mechanics and reducing the risk of injuries. Rehabilitation: In the event of a significant injury, physiotherapists provide rehabilitation services to facilitate recovery and a safe return to Jiu Jitsu training. They can assess the injury, develop an individualised treatment plan, and use techniques such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities to promote healing, reduce pain, restore range of motion, and rebuild strength and function. Performance Enhancement: Physiotherapists can work closely with Jiu Jitsu athletes to optimise their physical capabilities and performance. They can develop exercise programs to improve strength, power, endurance, agility, and mobility specific to the demands of Jiu-Jitsu. By addressing any movement limitations, weaknesses, or imbalances, physiotherapists can help enhance an athlete's overall performance on the mat. Recovery and Injury Management: Jiu Jitsu training can be physically demanding, and athletes may regularly experience fatigue, muscle soreness, or minor injuries. Physiotherapists can provide guidance on proper recovery strategies, including techniques for managing muscle soreness, optimising recovery and sleep, and incorporating appropriate stretching or mobility exercises to aid in recovery between training sessions. It's important for jiu-jitsu practitioners to consult with a qualified physiotherapist who has experience working with combat sports athletes. Alex Barr is a physiotherapist and Jiu Jitsu black belt, coaching out of the Manly MMA gym.

We can help you filter through the myths & misconceptions around back pain, provide evidence-based advice and guide you toward the most effective treatment options for your back problems.

Reduce your risk of running injury! Although there a multiple physical and mental benefits from running you are placing a large amount of repetitive load on your body. It is estimated that about 80% of running injuries are actually overuse injuries - that is from doing too much soon and placing an excessive amount of stress on your body that it is not fit to handle at that given time. From this we can see it is imperative that we manage this load effectively by planning out your training and optimizing your recovery. Using the tips in the post above can significantly reduce your risk of injury and help you manage your running load while you are injured. We perform comprehensive running assessments at Beachlife physiotherapy where we analyse your running technique and ask a detail history about your training load. From this we work with you to construct a program tailored specifically to you that will help reduce your risk of injury, return to running from injury and improve your overall performance. Call 9970 7982 to book now!
