Our footwear may be an easy way to reduce impact on our joints.

Thin, flexible shoes engage our muscles more, resulting in more stress on the muscles (a good thing) and less stress on joints.

Our muscles are designed to absorb loading stress while our joints are designed to move. Arthritis is associated with increased loading stress on the joints, rather than in the muscles.

Getting injured is never a good thing. Having one of these injuries may be even worse according to research.

Arthritis, or more specifically, osteoarthritis, is the degeneration of joints that generally occurs as we age. Having one of these injuries puts you at a higher risk of developing arthritis at a younger age.

This highlights the importance of developing and carrying out an injury specific rehab program to minimize the chances of developing arthritis.

Improve your pelvic stability to reduce the risk of developing a lower body injury. The more stable our pelvis is, the less likely you are to develop an injury.

Maintaining a neutral pelvis position when exercising sounds easy, but, in fact can be very challenging if the correct muscles are not recruited.

Feeling like you are working hard in the water, but not going anywhere? Your body positioning may be creating a lot of drag (resistance).

One of the best ways to reduce drag is to improve core and pelvic control. Stabilizing the core can also improve stroke efficiency.

Sometimes the location of the injury and the cause of the problem are not the same. Research indicates that non-contact lateral ankle sprains can be linked to weak hip muscles.

Our hip muscles create stability for the entire lower body - if they are not strong enough to create a stable foundation, then we are at a higher risk of developing injuries elsewhere.

Please message or email me for more information or to book a physiotherapy appointment.

Shoulder pain is often the result of weak muscles in our back. Strong back muscles help support the shoulder joint, allowing it to move better and with less pain.

These back strengthening exercises will help stabilize the shoulder blade and improve shoulder function.
