🦴 Great ways to target your hip muscles after hip replacement
Rebuilding strength after a hip replacement isn’t just about “doing exercises” — it’s about choosing movements that actually reflect how your hip functions in daily life.

Some key patterns we often focus on include:
▫️ Hip hinge patterns
▫️ Offset / asymmetrical squats
▫️ Single-leg stance and control work
These weight-bearing exercises help retrain strength, stability, and coordination in positions that closely match real-world movement.

đź©° Pre-Pointe Profiling

At PhysioTec, our Dance Physiotherapist, Millie offers a comprehensive Pre-Pointe Profiling Assessment to help support safe and informed progression to pointe work.

This assessment includes a detailed dancer history and a thorough physical screening to understand readiness and identify any areas needing attention.
We assess:
▫️ Dance history & training load
▫️ Basic ballet technique
▫️ Overall flexibility
▫️ Ankle & foot range of motion
▫️ Strength, alignment, balance & control
From there, we provide targeted exercises to address any concerns and support safer progression into pointe work.
Millie also has some great tips around Pointe Shoes!

đź“© Book your Pre-Pointe Assessment today to help set your dancer up for strength, control, and confidence on pointe.

Not all ankle sprains are created equal đź‘€

A syndesmosis injury — often called a “high ankle sprain” — affects the fibrous connection between your two shin bones, that plays a key role in ankle stability. These injuries are common in sports involving twisting, turning, or contact, where the foot is planted and the leg rotates.
You might notice pain at the front or outside of the ankle, swelling, bruising, or difficulty putting weight through the foot — sometimes even a feeling of instability or a “pop” at the time of injury.
Because this type of injury involves structures higher up than a typical ankle sprain, it often requires a more thorough assessment and specific rehab approach to get you back moving confidently and safely.
If your ankle injury isn’t improving as expected, it might be more than a simple sprain.

Focus on shorter hip muscles — not longer thigh muscles, if you're having difficulties after hip replacement.

When working with patients post–hip replacement, one of the key concepts we often focus on is which muscles you’re actually targeting in rehab.
Around the hip, there are broadly two functional muscle groups:
▫️ Deep, short muscles that act directly across the hip joint
▫️ Larger, more superficial muscles that span both the hip and knee
The deeper hip muscles are essential for local joint stability and fine control of pelvic and femoral movement. The longer, multi-joint muscles are more involved in producing and transferring force through the entire limb — particularly in straighter knee “long lever” positions.
The important point? Different exercises naturally bias different muscle systems — and this can significantly influence how well you restore true hip function after surgery.

🦴 June is Hip Dysplasia Awareness Month 🦴

Hip dysplasia — sometimes referred to as “clicky hips” — is the most common musculoskeletal birth anomaly worldwide.
If not identified and managed early, it can increase the risk of hip pain and early-onset arthritis later in life.
In Australia alone, around 8 infants a day are diagnosed with hip dysplasia, and many more are missed at birth.
Early awareness and screening matter.
Risks significantly increase in female babies with a family history of dysplasia.

Going en pointe places huge demands on the foot and ankle đź©°

Foot injuries in dancers often develop when the load exceeds what the body is prepared for. Factors like poor foot control, reduced calf endurance, weakness through the foot and leg, fatigue, or sudden increases in training can all increase your risk.
Technique and equipment matter too — repetitive loaded pointe work and poorly fitting pointe shoes can place extra stress on the ankle and surrounding tendons.
The good news? Many of these risks are manageable. Gradually building into pointe work, improving strength through the foot, ankle, and hips, and ensuring the right shoe fit can all help reduce injury risk and support long-term performance.

🆕 New Blog | By Hip Physio Eric Huang

Getting more from your hip replacement after 12 months
Most people expect recovery to be “done” well before the 1-year mark — and for many, things are going really well by then.
But if you’re still noticing lingering stiffness, weakness, or movement limitations, there are a few common factors that can hold progress back.
In this latest blog, we look at what might be going on when recovery plateaus after hip replacement — and where to focus to keep improving.
Key themes include:
▪️ How muscle length and function around the hip changes after surgery
▪️ Why old movement habits can still influence how you feel
▪️ The role of the wider body in ongoing hip recovery
📌 A helpful read if you’re past the 12-month mark and want to get more out of your hip replacement.

Strength training starts before the first lift 🏋️‍♂️

If you’re skipping your warm-up, you’re missing a key part of performance and injury prevention.

We use the RAMP warm-up system:
Raise: increase body temperature and blood flow through low-intensity movement
Activate & Mobilise: move through full ranges to improve control, strength and dynamic flexibility
Potentiation: prepare the nervous system with higher-intensity, explosive efforts

A good warm-up isn’t optional — it sets the quality of everything that follows.

Hip pain or stiffness while cycling is experienced by many cyclists🚴‍♂️

Cycling involves thousands of repetitive pedal revolutions in a single ride. Even small biomechanical issues — like saddle height, seat position, or poor control of the hips and pelvis — can gradually increase stress on the hip and surrounding structures.

Our sports physio, Tyler Cultum explains that a saddle set too low or too far back can increase pressure around the hip and groin, while a saddle set too high may lead to pelvic rocking and strain through the hips, pelvis, and lower back. Over time, this can contribute to conditions such as hip flexor tendinopathy, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), or proximal hamstring tendon pain.

A thorough assessment can identify contributing factors such as bike setup, strength deficits, movement control, or even previous injuries that may be affecting your cycling mechanics.

🌿 EDS Awareness Month 🌿

When hypermobility hurts

Hypermobility isn’t always just “being flexible” — for many, it comes with a wide range of symptoms that can significantly impact daily life.

If you’re experiencing ongoing pain, fatigue, dizziness, gut issues, or other unexplained symptoms alongside joint hypermobility, it may be worth getting it properly assessed.

Early recognition and the right support can make a real difference.
