So excited to welcome Helen to the FKB Physio team this week!

Helen comes to FKB with more than 30 years of clinical experience as a physiotherapist.

She has a particular interest in the assessment and management of vestibular disorders, falls prevention and rehabilitation, osteoporosis, and supporting people living with and beyond cancer.

Helen is passionate about helping people improve their confidence, independence and quality of life. Outside of physiotherapy, she’s a keen bushwalker and gardener 🌿

Helen will be working at our Bowen Hills clinic on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

She’s already brought some fantastic new ideas to FKB and is helping us think about new ways we can expand and improve the services we offer, all within her first couple of days!

We’re so excited to have her on the team. Welcome, Helen! 😃

Congratulations on reaching 100 classes 🙂🙂🙂

Really noticing and appreciating the fun and supportive vibe between our lovely class participants and how enjoyable it makes my own experience coming to work!

Love the long term commitment to health 🥳

Returned to running with 2 half marathons this winter! 🏃‍♀️

Everyone always says to me things like, “you’re so fit, that’d be easy for you”. No, as someone who didn’t run at all in 10 years, I’m not actually fit at running!! Particularly as powerlifting was my focus instead - a very low cardiovascular sport 😂.

I used to run half marathon distances on the regular and at that time it felt like nothing. That is NOT the case now & im proud I could actually finish these to be honest !

First one was horrendous, second one was great, the time was similar but the way I approached them was totally different, one felt almost impossible (HR>170 for >60 minutes 😬) second one in control and great. Pleased I can be happy about how something felt, not the time I got 🙂

The reality is I can’t focus as heavily on athletic endeavours like I used to because running my business & the demands it places on my time & energy are significantly more than at any other time in my life. I accept that.

I’m also so much slower at running than I was 10 years ago the difference in ability is so vast there’s no chance of a PB so the pressure is off there too 😂

I do have goals for Hyrox time & eventual half marathon improvement but I acknowledge I am a very casual participant and the goals are loose. still keeps it interesting. Has been somewhat hard to come to terms with this as someone who has historically taken the things I train for so seriously, but here we are.

Fun to do these two runs with partner who tolerated my endless complaining and commentary on my niggling injuries + more positively our appreciation of cute dogs along the way 🐶 & fun to do a run again with bestie Nelson, though he was a solid 30 mins ahead of us so was saved from my commentary

Trying to dispel this idea as i always think it’s such a shame when a woman who has been exercising for years and years still thinks she “moves wrong”.

It’s all about why you’re doing something and if you’re lifting to support your long term health, there are lots and lots of different ways to move that are safe and will do that.

No, this doesn’t mean “technique doesn’t matter”; simply that there’s a large spectrum of what is adequate & even if there’s maybe a more efficient way to do something, doesn’t mean the less efficient way has no value or was pointless.

You won’t see Sarah around the clinic for the next few weeks because she’s getting married! ❤️ 🎉

Thank you to Mel for making Sarah’s last week so special with some decorations & getting the clients involved with wearing tiaras for their classes!

Had maybe our first ever full team social event yesterday (Sarah, Mel, jaslynn, Annaliese, Surabhi, myself and Katherine - the whole crew!!) which was extremely enjoyable as well (of course forgot to get a photo).

We spent a lot of it reflecting on what a great group of people we get to work with every day (both clients and each other). It really is such a great community of people we have found !!

Thanks everyone for making sure Sarah felt very appreciated before her special day ❤️

FKB is growing and we are looking for someone to join our team!

This is an ideal role for someone looking for a gradual return to the workplace or looking to add some diversity a traditional physio caseload .

More details can be provided on request. While there are some specific days and times required for this role, generally, I do my best to be flexible and accomodating where possible, & the needs of the business are likely to change over the next 12 months, with the opportunity to grow with the role if desired.

You do not need to flatten your back against the bench when bench pressing.

In my opinion this actually makes the movement less optimal for your shoulders, as it means the bar needs to move further down relative to the shoulder joint, and also puts the shoulders in a more rounded position when the rib cage is sitting flat against the bench, which isn’t a comfortable position to load for lots of shoulders.

Making an arch by lifting your chest up and driving down with the feet feels strong. The size of the arch is probably dependant on whether you powerlift or not 😂 It doesn’t need to be large.

It also isn’t bad for your back as most of the load isn’t going through there.

That said, for some people this is uncomfortable and we use feet up on the bench. Totally fine.

It’s the narrative that your back “should” be flat on the bench that I have issue with.
