🦴 Bone stress injuries can be frustrating!

They don't happen overnight. Instead, they develop when your bones are exposed to more load than they can adapt to over time.

👉 Swipe to learn about some of the common risk factors for bone stress injuries.

If any of these factors sound familiar, chat with your physiotherapist. Early identification and the right management can help keep you training, performing and doing what you love. 💪

🦵 ACL injury? We can help at every stage.

Whether you've just injured your ACL, are preparing for surgery, recovering from reconstruction, or working towards getting back to sport — your rehabilitation matters.

At Perform Physio + Pilates, we provide personalised ACL rehabilitation throughout the entire journey:

🩹 Early Rehab
Manage swelling, restore movement and regain strength.

💪 Strength & Conditioning
Build back your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and single-leg strength.

🏃 Return to Running
Progress from jogging through to acceleration and sprinting.

⚡ Return to Sport
Develop jumping, landing, deceleration and change-of-direction capacity.

📊 Return-to-Sport Testing
Use objective testing, including VALD, to assess strength, power and asymmetries and help guide your return.

Whether you're taking a non-surgical approach or recovering from ACL reconstruction, we'll meet you where you are and build a rehabilitation plan around your goals.

Wherever you are in your ACL journey, we're here to help you take the next step. 💪

🦵🏼 5 things to do before your knee replacement surgery

Recovery doesn't start on the operating table, it starts in the weeks before. A few simple steps now can set you up for a smoother, faster rehab afterwards. Save this one if surgery is on the horizon:
1️⃣ Start strengthening early, building quad and glute strength before surgery ("prehab") is linked to a smoother recovery afterwards
2️⃣ Sort your home setup, clear walkways, a stable chair, and easy access to essentials for the first few weeks
3️⃣ Practise your walking aids, getting comfortable with crutches or a frame before surgery makes the first few days much easier
4️⃣ Ask about your rehab plan, knowing what to expect week-to-week reduces stress and helps you stay on track
5️⃣ See a physio beforehand, a pre-op assessment gives your team a strength baseline and a plan tailored to you

A little preparation now goes a long way once you're on the other side of surgery. 💪🏼

🍼 POV: Pelvic health rehab... training for the uphill pram push. 😅💪

One of the most underrated workouts of parenthood? Pushing a pram uphill!

While Chris and Priya may have swapped the pram for the sled, the concept is the same. Pelvic health rehabilitation isn't just about recovering after birth, it's about building the strength and confidence to tackle the everyday demands of life with a little one.

Think:
💪 Pushing a pram uphill
👶 Lifting your baby in and out of the car
🛍️ Carrying the nappy bag (and everything else!)
🏃‍♀️ Keeping up with an active toddler

At Perform Physio & Pilates, our pelvic health physiotherapists create personalised exercise programs to help you feel stronger, move confidently, and prepare for (or return to) the physical demands of parenthood.

Because sometimes the biggest workout isn't at the gym... it's the footpath outside! 😉🍼

🏋️ SMITH MACHINE BACK SQUAT

Looking to build stronger legs and improve your overall capacity? The Smith machine back squat is a great way to progressively load the lower body while providing additional stability throughout the movement. 💪

Here’s why we like it:

🔥 Builds lower-body strength – targets the quads, glutes, adductors and trunk
📈 Easy to progressively overload – gradually increase resistance as your strength improves
🎯 Safe and controlled movement – the guided bar path allows you to focus on technique and producing force in a controlled manner
🦴 Builds capacity – useful for developing strength for sport, daily activities and rehabilitation, while also providing loading that can support bone health
🔧 Easy to modify – stance, depth and load can all be adjusted to suit individual goals and abilities

💡 Remember: The best exercise is one that suits you and can be performed safely, consistently and progressively.

Stronger legs. Better movement. Greater capacity. 💪
