Should I see a Physio for my Neck Pain?
It’s best to see a Physio as soon as you have neck pain. Even though it may be acute and not improve drastically, a Physio will be able to give guidance on what to do and what not to do with your neck pain. This will speed up your recovery from your pain and also prevent it from coming back again.
How do I Train for the Splits?
In order to train for the splits, first figure out which muscles or joints are actually tight, versus which ones need to be strengthened. This will determine what you need to work on and focus your attention on.
Working with a Physiotherapist can help you understand your body, and what each soft tissue needs. This will help set you up for success and help you avoid the monotonous stretching of hamstrings and hip flexors with no improvement in your splits.
Is it worth paying for Private Physio in Australia?
Physios are definitely worth the money in Australia. Here’s why. Physios not only help you with the physical limitations of your injury or pain, by helping alleviate pain and discomfort through hands on treatment such as massage or dry needling. Physios are also worth the money because they help with the psychological effects of an injury on your lifestyle, relationships and work, by calming you and guiding you through the process of injury, including determining how long your pain will take to dissipate. Furthermore, private physios are worth their weight in gold, as they can communicate with your coaches, General Practitioner, Employer and partners/parents, in order to communicate with them what is going on, or what has occurred and its likelihood of recovery.
Why You’re Unable to Hit Depth in your Squat
I’m now officially (and always have been) the oldest person working at Evolutio. Safe to say I’ve been around the physio block a couple of times and have seen and worked with a range of peeps, made a few mistakes, learnt from those mistakes and had a few wins too.
Peace & Love
Anyone involved in any form of sport and exercise knows the age-old acronym RICE. Rest, ice, compress, elevate. Damaged your hamstring? Your trainer will hog-tie it to your leg until it turns purple and screams with repulsion.
However, later that night, you’re at home watching reruns of Buffy the Vampire slayer, with the ice hanging there like a warm mojito, you suddenly can't remember what the trainer told you. Was it 20 minutes every 15 minutes, 20 minutes every hour, or an hour every 20 minutes? Furthermore, your partner no longer thinks it's cute that you're injured, and looking after you is getting damn tiresome.

Before I get too far into this article, I want to make it clear that I don't run a multinational company (I've always wanted to use the word multinational). So I'm not pretending I know all the answers to the ways of the world. I am though a 29yr old guy who has worked within several different businesses, run a business myself for 3 years now and operated as an infantry platoon commander for several years which was actually very similar to running a small business. We had targets to reach, training to do, soldiers had personal issues that needed looking after, we had to motivate the troops and provide interesting training and be role models. If we did this, then output would be good. Neglect these areas and the guys would just saunter around until the bar was open.
