Here our Physio Yianni is going through a static bicep curl with scapula setting with his patient Pete.

This exercise is being implemented to address the variety of presentations that Pete is experiencing in the shoulder, bicep and forearm compartment.

Instead of giving three separate exercises, with clinical reasoning finding an appropriate exercise to address all issues can enhance adherence of the exercise by ensuring less time requirement”

With consistent treatment and progressive overload in Pete’s training he will be pain free and moving well in no time! ☺️

Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency may include:

* muscle pain

Deficiency can occur for numerous reasons:

There are additional sources of Vitamin D, although sunlight is the most optimal way to absorb:

Pain on the outside of your knee ⁉️

Pain is a symptom. It’s your body telling you that something isn’t quite right.

Listen to it. Don’t ignore it.

Yesterday Alyssa came in to see Physio Yianni after experiencing pain in her left knee. After a thorough assessment, Yianni discovered that her fat-pad was inflamed after an increase in training load. Surrounding structures were also tight.

After treatment, not only did Alyssa feel better but she had piece of mind in knowing what was wrong and a plan moving forward.

Ignoring pain, can only lead to further injury and damage.

Listen to your body.
