Quick anatomy. Inside each inner ear are three loop-shaped canals filled with fluid. At the base of each canal sits a membrane with tiny calcium-carbonate crystals.

When you move your head, the fluid moves — the crystals stay put — and your brain reads that signal as 'I'm moving'.

In BPPV, a few crystals come loose and float into one of the canals. Now when you roll over in bed, the fluid sloshes those loose crystals around — and your brain gets a false 'I'm spinning' signal even though you're lying still.

The fix is to manoeuvre the crystals back out of the canal. Specific head movements, specific sequence. Often one session.

Counter-intuitive truth about running injury: we often don't start treatment on the painful side.

Example. Right knee hurts at 5k. Movement screen shows the LEFT hip isn't firing well during single-leg stance. When the left leg is on the ground, the pelvis dips, the right knee rotates inward, and over 1000+ steps the right knee absorbs the cost.

Right knee is screaming. Left hip is the cause.

This is why a movement assessment matters more than where it hurts.

Six weeks postpartum and your GP says 'all clear, you can run again'. Realistic? Often, no.

Week-by-week, what's actually happening:

• Weeks 1-2: tissue inflammation, hormones, breath and core disconnected. Walking is plenty.
• Weeks 3-4: tissue knitting. Gentle breath-core work begins. Walking distances increase.
• Weeks 5-6: connective tissue still remodelling. Some women feel 'normal'. Others — especially after a difficult birth — are still weeks away.
• Weeks 7-12: this is when most women SHOULD be assessed. Not at 6.

If at any point there's leaking, heaviness, prolapse symptoms, or pain — that's information, not 'just early days'.

If you're in your 40s or 50s and watching a parent's balance, walking confidence, or stamina slowly decline — there are 5 things worth quietly starting them on. None require a doctor's visit. All are within their control:

1. The 10-second single-leg balance test — weekly.
2. Sit-to-stand reps from a kitchen chair — 5 a day.
3. A properly fitted walking pole BEFORE they 'need' one.
4. Strength + balance matters more than cardio at this age.
5. A structured ageing program early, not late.

'Just do your Kegels.'

If you've ever been handed that advice and nothing else, you're not alone - and you're also not getting the full picture.

Kegels are part of pelvic floor training. They're not the whole thing. For some women, doing more squeezing actively makes symptoms worse (overactive pelvic floor is a real thing).

What actually helps: individual assessment, breath + bracing coordination, and progressive loading. Generic videos can't do this.

Free initial balance screen at Trucare. Here's what's actually in it:

• 5-minute movement assessment (single-leg balance, gait analysis, sit-to-stand count, hand-grip strength).

• Discussion of any falls, near-falls, or confidence loss in the past 12 months.

• Personalised summary — what's normal for your age, what's worth working on.

• A 6-week program plan if you want one. No obligation if you don't.

30 minutes. Free. No script. Morphett Vale + Flagstaff Hill. Link in bio.

(Adults 60+ welcome. Family members of older adults — you can book on a parent's behalf and we'll have the conversation together.)

Three things runners over 40 should know about training load:

1. Weekly volume increases should stay below ~10%. Jumping from 25k to 35k in a week is the classic injury onset.

2. 'Easy' should feel TOO easy. If conversational pace feels like work, your easy days are actually moderate. Real recovery doesn't happen.

3. Strength training is non-negotiable past 35. Without it, year-on-year tendon and muscle capacity drops faster than aerobic capacity.

If you've been getting injured every training block, the load curve is usually the cause — not the body part that hurts.

Six weeks postpartum and your GP says 'all clear, you can run again.' Realistic? Often, no.

What's actually happening week by week:

• Weeks 1-2: tissue inflammation, hormonal effects, breath/core completely disconnected. Walking is plenty.

• Weeks 3-4: tissue knitting. Gentle breath-core exercises start being useful. Walking distances increase.

• Weeks 5-6: connective tissue still remodelling. Some women feel 'normal' here. Others — especially after a traumatic birth — are still weeks away.

• Weeks 7-12: this is when most women SHOULD be assessed. Not at 6.

If at any point you have leaking, heaviness, prolapse symptoms, or pain — that's not 'just early days'. That's information. Book a private assessment.

If you're in your 40s or 50s and watching a parent's mobility decline, there are five things worth quietly starting them on — most of them don't require a doctor's visit, and all of them are within their control:

1. The 10-second single-leg balance test, weekly.
2. Sit-to-stand reps from a kitchen chair, 5 a day.
3. A walking pole or properly-set walking stick before they 'need' one.
4. Strength + balance is more important than cardio in this age group.
5. A Healthy Ageing program with someone they trust — early, not late.

"Just do your Kegels." If you've ever been handed that advice with no further explanation, you're not alone. And you're also not getting the full picture.

Kegels are part of pelvic floor training. They're not the whole thing — and for some women, they're actively the wrong starting point (overactive pelvic floors make symptoms worse with more squeezing).
