🍤 Physios at Horizon love the shrimp squat!

The shrimp squat is a challenging single-leg exercise that tests strength across the hip, knee and ankle, as well as hip and ankle mobility, balance and stability.

It’s also a fun (and humbling) challenge!

So, what are we looking for?

- Hands across the chest — no help from the arms or momentum
- Single-leg drive — all the strength comes from the planted leg
- Back foot lifted — the non-working leg stays off the floor
- Slow and controlled — control the lowering phase and drive back up through the working leg

These qualities are important for both sport and everyday movement, from running, jumping and changing direction to stairs, squatting and getting up from the floor.

🍤 Would you pass the Horizon shrimp squat challenge?

Greg had made a bet with the Horizon team that if we got to over 500 clients in a week he would run semi naked around the park opposite the clinic.

Well as you can see we smashed it and Greg (a die hard Dockers supporter) donned an Eagles scarf for good measure and true to his word, trotted around the park to amused onlookers!

As always, thanks to all our lovely clients 👏🏻

Up to 40% of individuals who sustain an ankle sprain develop chronic ankle instability and recurrence rates in sport are commonly reported between 12–47%.

Key functional benchmarks we look for in clinic to make sure you are fully prepared to go back:

• Knee-to-wall test >10cm
→ reflects adequate ankle dorsiflexion for landing, squatting, cutting

• ≥25 single-leg calf raises
→ assesses plantarflexor strength + endurance (key for re-injury prevention)

• Lateral hop test LSI ≥90%

Congratulations to .hunn on completion of the UTA100 trail running event in the New South Wales Blue Mountains, last week. Vic started seeing Greg after having 3 children, wanted to get fitter and run without pain. She set her goals and the two have worked together since. Battling the inevitable niggles and setbacks in the lead up to the event, Greg helped to get her in the best shape possible.
Vic completed the 101.4km course (yes, that's right!) in a time of 13 hours and 9 minutes. She crossed the line 4th in her age category, 13th female and 88th overall (out of 1,600 men and women).
Congratulations to Vic on her result.

Do you have a goal that you is being compromised by an injury or weakness? Book Now at - www.horizonphysio.com.au

ps. Vic tells us her step count for the day was over 130,000 steps!
