A ‘bridge’ is a simple and effective glute strengthening exercise where you push down into the floor with your feet and lift your hips up, squeezing your glutes in the process.

It’s important that we’re listening to our body so we’re not overusing our muscles! When dealing with an overuse injury, assessing your movement and understanding your training loads or activity can help us identify the cause of your injury. And remember, overuse injuries don’t just occur in the young and fit – middle-age or older people can be affected as well! Would an assessment benefit you? Comment below!

⛳️ Osteopathy & Golf — It's More Than Just Your Swing
Golf might look like a low-impact sport, but your body is doing a lot of work during a round.
Every swing requires a combination of:
🔄 Rotation through your hips, pelvis and spine
💪 Strength to generate and control force
🧘 Mobility to allow you to move through your swing
⚖️ Balance and stability to control your movement
🚶 Endurance to keep moving well throughout the round
When one part of your body isn't moving or functioning as well as it could, other areas may have to compensate.
This is where osteopathic care can be helpful.
At Back Into Action Osteopathic Group, we look at how your body is moving as a whole — not just where you might be feeling discomfort.
Whether it's improving mobility, addressing areas that feel restricted, supporting recovery or helping you move more comfortably, the goal is to help your body move efficiently.
And it's not just about what happens on the treatment table.
Strength and conditioning can complement your osteopathic care, helping you develop the strength, mobility and control needed for the activities you enjoy.
As a golfer myself, I like my training to have a purpose. ⛳️
The goal isn't simply to exercise — it's to keep your body ready for the things you love doing.
If golf is your thing and you'd like to move better on and off the course, get in touch with us.

Finish the Season Strong — Peak Performance When It Matters
The final part of the season can be when your body starts to feel the accumulated effects of training, competition, travel and recovery.
When you're chasing a personal best, pushing for finals or simply wanting to finish the season feeling strong, looking after your body matters.
Osteopathy can form part of your overall performance and recovery strategy by helping address areas of restricted movement and supporting your body's ability to move efficiently.
Osteopathic care may help with:
🔄 Mobility — supporting the movement you need for your sport
💪 Musculoskeletal function — addressing areas that may be affecting how you move
🏃 Recovery — helping you stay moving between training and competition
⚖️ Balance and movement — supporting efficient movement patterns
🎯 Performance preparation — keeping your body ready for the demands of your sport
But peak performance isn't just about treatment.
Training, recovery, sleep, nutrition and appropriate load management all play a role too.
Think of osteopathy as one part of the bigger picture.
Don't wait until the end of the season when your body is telling you it's had enough.
Look after your body now so you can keep doing what you love for longer.
🏆 Train smart. Recover well. Finish strong.
If you're heading into the final stages of your season and want to discuss how osteopathic care may complement your training and recovery, contact Back Into Action Osteopathic Group.

Tradies—this one’s for you 🔧
You lift, carry, and move all day… but are you protecting your body while you do it?
The basics matter:
✔ Strong base (feet set, stable)
✔ Lift with legs, not your back
✔ Keep
✔Engage the core
✔ Reset between lifts
Small tweaks = big difference over time.
👉 Prevent the injury before it happens.
Don’t let a bad lift put you on the sidelines.

August is here—and it’s time to take your health seriously 💪
Whether you’re a tradie, office worker, or always on the go, your body works hard for you every day. But are you looking after it?
Common issues we’re seeing right now:
❌ Tight hips from sitting
❌ Sore shoulders from repetitive work
❌ Persistent back pain
The good news? Most injuries don’t just “happen”—they build up over time.
👉 Prevent the injury before it happens.
Because let’s be honest… your body shouldn’t feel as sore as watching Essendon play on the weekend 😅
If something’s been niggling, now’s the time to sort it before it becomes a bigger problem.
