We're excited to share this fantastic testimonial from one of our dedicated clients! 🙌

🔍 Client's Journey:

"Phil treated me for back pain that limited me in my CrossFit training. He addressed the cause of the pain and we got to work with rehab, which was typically 15 minutes every other day. This was impressive as I’d been to plenty of physios previously with 1hr plus long daily protocols that led nowhere."

💼 Phil's Expertise:

"The plan worked as Phil was able to treat the root cause of the issue and within 6 sessions (and the rehab in between) I was back hitting PR’s on every lift despite being unable to go over 90% for a number of months before this due to pain. Phil was professional throughout and his methods of treatment are very current. You can tell he and his staff put extra effort into educating themselves beyond their uni degrees to maintain their high standards."

⭐️ Feeling Better Than Ever:

"Highly recommend Phil for anyone struggling with back pain and looking to return to their training routine stronger than ever!"

👏 Our Commitment:

At Fixit Physiotherapy, your well-being and success are our top priorities. We're dedicated to providing expert care, tailored solutions, and ongoing support to help you reclaim a pain-free and active life.

Enhance Your Running Performance with Plyometrics! 💥

Ready to take your running game to the next level? Incorporating plyometric exercises into your training regimen can help you build strength, power, and resilience to tackle the demands of running.

🔍 Understanding Plyometrics:
Plyometric exercises involve quick, explosive movements that utilize the stretch-shortening cycle of muscles to generate force. These dynamic movements mimic the demands of running, making them an excellent addition to any runner's workout routine.

💪 Benefits for Runners:

By incorporating plyometrics into your training, you can improve your running performance in several ways:

Increased muscular power and explosiveness
Enhanced speed and agility
Improved neuromuscular coordination
Greater resistance to fatigue and injury

🏋️‍♂️ Plyometric Drill: Bilateral Pogos

One effective plyometric drill for runners is bilateral pogos. To perform this exercise:

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent.
Jump vertically off both feet, driving your arms upward for momentum.
Land softly on the balls of your feet and immediately spring back up into the next jump.
Aim to perform 10-15 repetitions for 2-3 sets, focusing on quick, explosive movements.

🌟 Prepare for Running Forces:

Regular plyometric training helps condition your body to handle the high impact forces associated with running, reducing the risk of overuse injuries and improving overall performance.

💬 Ready to Incorporate Plyometrics into Your Routine?

Whether you're training for a race or simply aiming to improve your running ability, plyometric exercises can be a game-changer. Consult with our expert team at Fixit Physio to learn how to integrate plyometrics safely and effectively into your training plan.

Foot pain? Shin Splints? Plantar Fasciitis?

We see it every day - runners that are in pain. And they are usually managing this pain by smashing their muscles with massage balls and foam rollers, stretching every day and munching on pain killers and gritting their teeth to get through that 10k run they’ve been working towards.

What if I told you that insoles / massage balls and static stretches probably ARE NOT THE ANSWER.. 🚫👟

There are 33 joints in the foot - it is made to MOVE and adapt and move according to the surface it's on. 🦶

When we see runners presenting with pain, our first question is NOT

‘Why aren’t you stretching every day?’

It’s

‘Which areas of the foot and ankle aren’t moving so well?’ OR ‘what injury in the past led to the foot doing TOO MUCH?’

If you learn to get that foot greased up and mobile and then add the right loading / ability to generate propulsion, your symptoms will usually melt away to nothing
AND

Your running gets faster and more efficient and your running times start to improve significantly! 🏃‍♂️⏱️

And if you need some of this work in your training regime, we are taking on regular one to one runners for movement and strength work. 💪

Most people don’t make this connection, but let me tell you how your breathing plays a huge role in neck pain and headaches. There are SOLUTIONS to your pain you may not know about. 🌟

Our nervous systems are clever machines, made to survive. When we perceive a threat, our system responds with increased heart rate, more muscle tension, and increased BREATHING RATE. 😰

When we breathe heavily, our neck muscles work overtime. These tense muscles could be causing your neck pain or headache. 💢

But fear not! 🙌 Your breathing is one aspect of your autonomic nervous system you can control. It’s the fastest way to reduce pain, offload those aching muscles, and achieve a ‘rest and digest’ state where your sleep improves and your pain decreases. 😴💤

First of all, understanding some of the contributing factors can already help you to find your way out of pain...

• Prolonged periods of stress or anxiety 😟
• Too much time in one posture / being sedentary 🛋️
• Dehydration and lack of sleep 💧😴
• Eyestrain from excessive screen time 📱👀

💉 Is Surgery The Answer to your knee pain woes?

Was your 10 minute GP or consultant visit enough information to make an informed choice on surgery?

Unlikely.

So let’s talk about it.

You feel like you’ve tried everything and the knee pain is still there?

I feel you. But I also feel like you may not have actually TRIED EVERYTHING and shortly I’ll describe what we do that’s likely very different to any treatment you’ve received so far.

But first, let's talk going under the knife. What you may not have been told is that in cases of chronic knee pain, getting surgery provides no more benefit than conservative treatment. Yes, I agree this MIGHT be different for you, but you should make sure it’s the right choice for you.

If your knee was collapsing below you, unstable, getting locked into position, there's a high likelihood surgery could really help resolve this issue. (we see hundreds of knee patients per year and this accounts for less than 1% of those people)

If you have an okay range of motion and stability in your knee, but it's just painful, it’s not very likely surgery is the answer - in fact surgery is just another assault on your nervous system that could cause its own issues.

Now the reason your conservative treatment may not have worked up to this point due to a lack of awareness of previous injuries contributing to a change in biomechanics, or a lack of stress and rest management or a lack of a high level treatment plan that actually gets you to the level you need for your day to day.

This is why our approach is so effective.

My recommendation is that you get a crystal clear idea of where you are at in a graded exposure plan i.e. what level of exercises are good / non painful and which ones are too much. This is a place to start.

When you spend enough time at the correct level of rehab, you tend to progress to the next level because the body is an adaptive machine! Rinse and repeat and suddenly you’re back doing couch to 5k or going hiking in the Mournes!

You may feel like you’ve tried it all, but if you haven’t tried working with us, you have not tried everything! 🏃‍♂️💪

🔑 The Best Advice You’ll Ever Hear for Sore Knees

Do you have stiff achy knees when you get up out of bed? Or when doing the stairs? Or when getting out of your office chair?

Let me tell you the most effective tips for greasing up those achy knees:

Motion is Lotion

🚶‍♂️ Never underestimate regular walking - a key part of any knee rehab program and such an underappreciated form of exercise. Sometimes this alone is enough to resolve your knee joint niggles - thousands of reps of exactly what that joint is designed to do!

Get Quality Rest

💤 Guess What? The less quality sleep you get and the more stress your system is under overall, the more likely you are to experience pain and injury. And the exact opposite is also true - you can more or less eliminate a pain experience by getting yourself into ‘Rest and Digest’.

You’re not in pain while you’re asleep. Do this more often where possible to get out of the pain cycle and allow your body to mend and this brings me to the next point..

Manage Stressors

📉 Some of you are out here training like professional athletes, but forgetting you also work 50 hours a week, have family commitments, clean the house, mow the lawn, have the pressure of deadlines, the list goes on.. You realize that pro athletes rest for the majority of their day every day right?!

They have quality nutrition on demand, the best sleep habits, weekly recovery strategies and more.

No, you’re never going to live like a pro athlete, but something has to give - either you take that extra rest day, or you drop a day’s work, or you give up the screen time before bed for an extra hour of sleep, or you invest in quality food prep..

Get Strong as Hell

💪 The key to maintaining healthy knees long into the future is having strong and healthy tissue around the joint.

This is achieved by regular movement and exercise, but made even better with strength training.

Having more muscle mass and stronger, more robust tendons will have you out-jumping your opponents on the sports field, out-running your pals in your 5k park run and playing with your grand and even great-grandchildren no matter your age! 🏋️‍♀️
