Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Rozelle Physio

What is shockwave therapy? Shockwave therapy uses a high energy sound wave to target your tissues (fascia, muscles, tendons, etc.) to increase repair and growth of your cells, provide pain relief and help you move easier and get back to the activities you want to do. How does it work? The vibrations essentially induce low grade micro tears in your tissues that will elicit an immune response and increase perforation (blood supply to cells). Shockwave therapy also increases collagen product...

How long does it take to recover from injury

How long will it take to get better Phys? This is a question we get asked multiple times a day, every day. Firstly, every injury is different, as is every patient. It is not one size fits all or one magic potion. In saying that though, most injuries have similar patterns of recovery and rehabilitation. The first stage of physiotherapy is usually to decrease pain and inflammation and address any neuromotor deficits (like balance or coordination). This will be followed by regaining range ...

Running Retraining for Exercise and Performance

Posted on December 4, 2019October 1, 2021 by Stuart

Running is good for you. It boosts immune cells, heart and lung function, decreases insulin resistance and has been shown to decrease the rate of knee osteoarthritis. It has also been proven to decrease chronic systemic inflammation, not to mention preventing at least 25 other chronic conditions. It’s no wonder then that lots of people run – but as physiotherapists we often see people who have injured themselves when they run the wrong way. So what are the main things that runners do that ...
