The benefit of being strong as you age
Muscle importance for seniors. Bone density for elderly people. How physiotherapist and exercise physiologist can help.
Understanding chronic pain is the first step to recovery
Understanding chronic pain. If you are experiencing pain that has lasted for more than a year, chances are your nervous system has been wired to become more sensitive to pain. Whilst our physiotherapists are able to help you with effective pain-relief, it is important for you to understand that sometimes the pain intensity does not equate to your injury severity. Understanding this helps giving you perspective, and will give you the much needed courage to continue improve.

Core stability and control
How core muscles are protectors of your spine, and how do you make sure that their natural muscle tone supports your posture. The key is not to consciously keep your core activated - that is a very outdated. The key is to have that core muscle tone so it supports you without thinking about. That is core stability and core control!
Barefoot strengthening helps you to conquer the distance
Your foot and ankle can be strengthened with safe barefooted activities. Provided that the environment is right, the intrinsic muscles underneath your feet can work very hard for you and subsequently serve to support your foot arch. This has the benefit of injury prevention.
Meniscus injury may not require surgery
Certain exercises can support knee meniscus health by strengthening surrounding muscles, improving joint stability, and enhancing mobility. Targeted movements for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles reduce stress on the meniscus, promoting better knee alignment and resilience. These exercises aid in pain management, prevent further injury, and support long-term knee function.
Correct squat lifting technique helps you to stay strong
Using correct squat lifting technique not only strengthens your muscles and bones but also boosts mental health. Loading through the body stimulates bone density, reducing injury risk, while releasing endorphins that enhance mood and reduce stress. Practicing safe, effective squat techniques builds physical resilience and supports overall well-being.
Sacro-iliac joint pain
A high percentage of lower back pain originates from the sacroiliac joint (SIJ), a common but often overlooked source of discomfort. The good news? SIJ-related pain is highly treatable. With targeted assessment and therapy, our physios can help relieve your pain and restore comfortable movement.
Upper cross posture from long screen time
Upper-crossed posture from long screen time leads to forward-rounded shoulders and a strained neck, common among those with long office hours. This posture imbalance places excess tension on the neck and upper back muscles, often resulting in discomfort and stiffness. Addressing this with targeted exercises can help realign posture and reduce neck strain.
Side-lying rotator cuff
The side-lying shoulder rotator cuff strengthening exercise is a gentle starting point for shoulder rehabilitation, ideal for acute shoulder pain and frozen shoulder. This low-impact movement activates stabilizing muscles without strain, promoting mobility, reducing pain, and supporting gradual recovery in a safe, controlled manner.
