Functional Physiotherapy

💥 From injury to the top of the podium! 🏆

Eight weeks before HYROX Sydney, Steph came into the clinic with a Grade 2 calf tear after injuring herself while pushing a 200kg sled during training.

Like many athletes, she was devastated and worried her competition was over before it had even begun.

Together, we put a structured rehab plan in place, combining hands-on treatment, progressive strength work, plyometrics and a carefully managed return to running and HYROX-specific training.

Steph was back to full training in just 5 weeks and incredibly finished in 1st place in the HYROX Sydney doubles event for her age group

An incredible result and a testament to Steph's hard work, consistency, and commitment throughout her rehab.

Congratulations, Steph! It was an absolute pleasure helping you get back to doing what you love. We can't wait to help you prepare for your next event! 💪

📸 Client Spotlight: Tom 🏃‍♂️

Tom is an avid ultra marathon runner who came to us 4 weeks before his event with a suspected calf tear 😵

Assessment of his injury uncovered that this wasn't in fact a calf tear but a less common tibialis posterior strain (see next slide) an injury that’s often misdiagnosed as a simple calf issue.

For Tom this meant temporarily putting the running shoes away and shifting focus to rehab and, to Tom’s credit, he absolutely committed to the process and smashed the work.

Next week, Tom will take on the Tarawera 50km Ultra marathon in beautiful New Zealand. An incredible achievement after a short but focused rehab block.

Thanks to Tom for trusting us to be part of his recovery. We’re confident you’re going to smash it next week, and we’re looking forward to helping you prepare for many more events to come 💪🔥
