Every patient is different, and your treatment should be too!

At Physio 64, we’re committed to continuous learning, questioning what we know and keeping up to date with the latest research so we can tailor our approach to you.

Because we know how frustrating it can be to try physio after physio without getting the answers or progress you hoped for. We want you to feel heard, understood and confident that we’re doing everything we can to get things right, as efficiently as possible.

We’ll never stop learning, because you deserve a team that never stops looking for ways to do better for you.

Friday treat: a visit from Maebh 💗

It was lovely to welcome Maebh back to Physio 64! 👋

Alongside her studies, Maebh plays rugby with both Leinster and Railway Union and has also completed her personal training qualification.

We love seeing our students thrive both in and outside of the clinic — keep up the great work, Maebh! ✨

When you’re living with debilitating low back pain, hearing this can feel like being told nothing is wrong, or that nobody knows what’s going on. That doesn’t help.

Do you feel a pinch in your lower back when you’re in cobra? 🐍

It’s not about how high you can get in your cobra — it’s about where that movement is coming from.

Your spine is made up of multiple segments that all contribute to extension. If the thoracic spine is stiff, you may compensate by taking more movement through the lumbar spine.

So instead of trying to push yourself higher into cobra, try working on your thoracic mobility first.

The goal? More mobility throughout the spine, rather than forcing more movement from one area.

📚 The thoracic and lumbar spine contribute differently to trunk extension, with research demonstrating that movement is shared across the different spinal regions.

Think you know which exercises really target your glutes? 👀

A 2023 study by Collings et al. ranked hip-focused injury prevention and rehabilitation exercises based on the force produced by the gluteal muscles.

The side plank ranked highly for gluteus medius, while the split squat ranked highly for gluteus maximus — making both useful options when we want a strong gluteal stimulus.

So who might these be useful for?

🏋️ Back pain with lifting — challenging the glutes alongside trunk and spinal stability.

🏃‍♀️ Hip or knee pain with running — developing hip strength and single-leg control.

🤰 Pelvic girdle pain — building hip and pelvic stability in a way that can be adapted to the individual.

But here’s the important bit: an exercise ranking highly doesn’t automatically mean it’s the right exercise for every patient.

We want to consider how the exercise feels.

If you don’t feel the glute med in your side plank or the glute max in your split squat, that doesn’t necessarily mean the exercise isn’t working — but it may be a sign that the exercise needs to be tweaked or that the patient needs to establish some foundational strength, control or movement capacity first.

And if they feel their familiar symptoms, or consistently feel the exercise somewhere they shouldn’t, that’s useful information too.

We can change the position, range, load, support or even the exercise itself.

These are great exercises. The research gives us a reason to use them — our clinical reasoning tells us how and when to use them for the patient in front of us.

Pregnant and finding your squat looks a little different? 🤰

As your bump grows, your centre of mass shifts forward, which can make you naturally lean further forward when squatting and make balance feel more challenging.

Using a ball against the wall gives you external support, helping you feel more stable and in control throughout the movement.

This can make it easier to:

🍑 Load your glutes and quads through a comfortable range
⬇️ Control your descent rather than feeling like you’re falling forwards
⬆️ Drive back up through your legs
🧠 Build confidence with movement as your body changes

And strengthening your glutes and quads during pregnancy isn’t just about the gym — these muscles help with everyday movements like getting up from a chair, climbing stairs, lifting and carrying your baby.

So if your usual squat starts to feel awkward, you don’t necessarily need to stop squatting.

Sometimes you just need to change the setup. 🤍

For uncomplicated pregnancies. Exercise should be individualised, particularly if you have pain, pelvic girdle symptoms or pregnancy-related concerns.

Evidence: WHO Guidelines on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour (2020); ACOG Exercise During Pregnancy.
