Samantha’s journey: Back on court after calf injury 💪

Samantha had been dealing with a calf injury that was stopping her from running comfortably, which meant stepping away from basketball 🏀 and tennis for a while.

She focused on building strength and mobility through her calf and surrounding leg 🦵 muscles, slowly getting back confidence in her movement again. As things improved, she started to notice she could run and change direction without that sharp pulling feeling that had been holding her back.

The real win 🏆 was getting back on the tennis court and playing properly again without pain or restriction getting in the way!

On World Arthritis Day, we’re recognising the millions of people living with arthritis and highlighting the importance of finding the right support to stay active and manage symptoms. Arthritis can affect people in different ways, but regular movement, strength and exercise can play an important role in supporting joint health, mobility and confidence. Finding activities that work for you can make it easier to keep moving as part of everyday life.

If arthritis is affecting your movement or making exercise feel uncertain, the right guidance can help you find safe and practical ways to stay active.

Hypermobility doesn’t always mean being super flexible.

For some people, it can be associated with joint instability, pain, fatigue and difficulty building physical capacity. Sometimes, symptoms only become noticeable after a major change in the body, such as COVID.

In her recent blog article, Physiotherapist Blanche Leung explores how COVID may have brought previously compensated hypermobility to the surface, and what can help rebuild strength, stability and confidence.

Owen’s journey: Back to sport after shoulder pain 🏀

Owen had been dealing with ongoing shoulder pain that was making it hard to play volleyball and basketball the way he wanted to. He wanted to understand what was actually contributing to his shoulder pain and have a clear plan to work on it. With hands-on treatment and specific exercises focused on improving shoulder strength and control 💪, things gradually started to improve.

As he shared, “Working with Jackson at the health clinic was a really positive step for me. He provided clear explanations and guidance, along with effective soft tissue treatment and targeted exercises that helped reduce my pain.”

A big moment for him was getting back on court and being able to play without that constant awareness of his shoulder holding him back 👏
