Did you know that physiotherapy can help with concussion symptoms?
Concussions are injuries that result in short term changes in brain function which can have long term implications if not rehabbed correctly which can include issues with vision, balance, headaches and neck pain.Physios can help with all these symptoms by conducting a ‘vestibular ocular motor screening’ which looks at different body systems that can be affected from a concussion. We can also guide you through your rehab from a concussion and safely return athletes to game play in conjunction with a medical professional.
Check out more of our physio Maddie's takeaways from a recent masterclass in rehab.

We have the privilege of working with athletes from various sports, each with their unique set of challenges and goals. Of late, we have been working with Christies Beach Football Club and South Adelaide Football Club’s Savannah Rayner. Savannah suffered an ACL injury 11 months and throughout her recovery we have been conducting our Breakthrough Testing using VALD Force Decks and Dynamo to assess her strength, power and symmetry.

We want to share a case study involving our own physio, Alex, who recently experienced a shoulder dislocation playing footy. Through using our VALD Force Decks as part of our in-house return-to-sport testing, we were able to gain valuable insights.

Some great takeaways in here from a recent Sports MAP Masterclass our Physio Maddie Green did on Lumbar Bone Stress Injuries.

Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries in netball players and can range in severity. Minor sprains may only take a week of rest and rehab, whereas more serious sprains can take much longer. The ankle accounts for 40% of netball injuries due to the amount of jumping, running and change of direction.
