Muscle cramping?

Fatigue?

Brain fog at 3pm?

Struggling to recover well after exercise or big adventures?

Chugging 2-3 litres a day of water a day (like a champ) without electrolytes?

Hate the taste of water?

Chances are, if you were telling me any of the above, I’d be recommending a daily dose of electrolytes.

What does Integrative and Holistic even mean in Physio and how is it different from Traditional Physio?

The (brave?) decision to leave social media as a business.

I’m sure you’re wondering what visceral manipulation is. My mother thinks it’s me arranging people’s organs inside them to sit in the right spot- she’s absolutely wrong (sorry mum!)

Happy Mother's Day!

We often hear about issues new mums face but the transition into menopause is a big deal for mums too.

This blog explores some exciting research focusing on his stage of life- and there's some good news!

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most frustrating and stubborn foot conditions we see at our Bibra Lake physio clinic. It can make the simple act of getting out of bed feel impossible, and it often stops people from doing the things they love—whether that's walking, hiking, running, or working on their feet.

At our Perth physiotherapy clinic, we often combine a mix of stretching, strengthening, massage techniques, and load management strategies to help our clients recover. Key exercises target foot strength (especially the big toe.) Tracking your activity levels and symptoms can also help you manage flare-ups more effectively.

Healing the plantar fascia is rarely an overnight process, but with the right approach and support, it is absolutely possible to get back to doing what you love.

Anyone who's ever had an ankle sprain knows how debilitating they can be—especially when one sprain leads to many more down the road. Even with rehab, the fear of re-injury often lingers.

In fact, one of the biggest risk factors for an ankle sprain is having had one before. If this sounds familiar and you’re worried about spraining again, this article is for you.

From habit stacking to habit tracking, from looking deeper within and setting realistic expectations of yourself, I hope you have found these tips helpful. When it comes down to it, doing your rehab is about behavioural change and that's never easy so give yourself some grace. Start slow, have self compassion, do it with friends and you will have an enjoyable habit that will help you achieve what you want.

We all deserve to take chances with our lives and our bodies. Whether it's something as simple as walking through a dog park or as life altering as moving to the other side of the country, and guaranteed, people in your life will have something to say about it that usually has more to do with their fears and insecurities than it does about you.

When you're feeling the injury and rehab blues, it can really help to acknowledge the full experience that you're having- it's not just physical.

At Adventure Physio, we understand that injury and surgery rehabilitation is not one-size-fits-all. Every individual is unique, and so are their recovery needs. Our approach to rehab is all about personalisation, focusing on what works best for you.

We stay up to date with the latest rehabilitation research and know what works best in a wide population of people with the same problem, but we target it to make sure it fits your life and situation (because we’re all beautiful unique snowflakes and none of us is exactly the same.)

Cycling is a fantastic way to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and improve your fitness. There's nothing quite like the feeling of cruising on your bike. However, if you've ever experienced knee pain while cycling, you know how much it sucks. As part of Adventure Physio’s mission to get More Butts On Bikes, here are some quick fixes.

Have you ever felt like doing physio rehab at home gets difficult?

Between feeling unmotivated

Not being able to remember the exercise or instructions given to you

Feeling like it’s too easy or too hard

Getting caught up in other tasks that need doing around the house

The kids, dogs and other dependents want your attention

Don’t have the right equipment

One the the best ways to overcome this is to isolate yourself in an environment for an hour which is made to help you succeed.

“There is nothing, no, no routine, no habit that is perfect. Life is meant to be up and down. It’s important to develop self-awareness to realise when you’re not doing the things that you want to do with your life. When you’re not living to that higher self, living in alignment with what you actually want in life and who you want to be.”

I was feeling that pressure- everyone wanted something from me. I wanted to get too many things done. The housework was piling up and I hadn’t really taken any time for myself in a few weeks. I was back to procrastinating sleep in an effort to have some time to myself in the evenings and when I eventually got to bed, I was struggling to sleep. Something had to change.

If you’re lucky enough to live near Bibra Lake, then you know we’re surrounded by some unique wetlands… Swamps if you will.

A lot of them are tucked away from view but with a little bit of exploration, it feels like you’ve stepped away from suburbia and into the bush.
