There aren’t many things more debilitating than

There aren’t many things more debilitating than hurting your back! 😩 It’s essential to have it checked out, but here are some key DOs and DON’Ts for that early phase to get you back to living your best life without just loading up on Pain meds! 📝💊🏋️‍♀️

❌ DON’Ts ❌

AVOID MOVEMENT: 🚫 Motion is lotion! 99% of back injuries feel better when warm and moving than when cold and stiff. 🕺

OVERBRACE: 🤕 Pain naturally makes us want to tense and guard ourselves, but bracing too much through your back and “core” can compound the problem.

CATASTROPHIZE: 😱 We all fear the worst when injuries happen, but more than 90% of lower back injuries don’t have any structural damage ✨

STOP DOING MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES: 🚫🎨 Acute pain is more likely to turn into chronic pain if it keeps you from the meaningful activities in your life, like feeling purpose at work, playing with your kids, exercising, or even bingo at the club.

PUSH THROUGH EXCESSIVE PAIN: 🚨 Think of pain as an alarm rather than a clear indicator of damage 🚨 It’s trying to tell you the system is overloaded, not necessarily broken.

✅ DOs ✅

TEST THE WATERS 🌊 Find the boundaries of your tolerable range of motion. Think SLOW AND SMOOTH 🐢

BREATHE: 😮‍💨 When you reach your limit, don’t push past it. Take a nice deep breath in and out, trying to relax into that endpoint. 🧘

LIGHTEN THE LOAD: 🏊‍♀️ Change to an easier position like bending forward while sitting or in child’s pose, get in the water (even better if it’s heated), and if able, keep doing your chosen activity but reduce the load. 🌊🏊

WARM IT UP: 🔥 Heat desensitises the area and helps you get moving, so embrace heat packs, heat creams, and hot showers.

IDENTIFY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 🛌🍎😌 Are you sleeping enough? Eating okay? Is there a stressor you can remove, or more likely, counteract by doing more fun, stress-relieving activities?

As always, consult us as professionals if your symptoms are severe, if you are experiencing radiating pain, pins and needles, numbness, or if the pain doesn’t improve in the next 48 hours. We are here when you need us! 😁

Here is a quick summary of 2016 and 2017, featuring some more iconic Tom facial hair, some familiar faces and perhaps the best meme ever made (Swipe to the end to see!). It’s safe to say Next Gen was ahead of the times in 2016 😆😘

Nothing we love more than our patients being diligent and getting their rehab done (however that may look! )😍👀

Here is one of Tom’s patients/mates @lawrencefoteff utilising a work break and things laying around to get in his split stance RDLs - what a legend! 😎

You probably hear physios going on about ‘exercises’ like a broken record, but honestly sticking to the program is absolute key to getting the result you want from your rehab!

What’s the strangest place you have done your rehab?? 😜👇

My first appointment was with Michael who greeted me with a warm welcome and was incredibly helpful. Can’t recommend this physio enough to anyone looking for an appointment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom Russell has been a go to physio both personally and for our patients for a decade. We love his open and honest advice and his expertise in managing injuries and recovery. The whole team is so friendly and our patients always have great feedback after visiting them.

Tom and his practice manager, Gabby visited us in our clinic today to help our team better understand the services he is providing to our patients and what really works to get them feeling great as quickly as possible after surgery. Much appreciated!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Tom and Gabby during my first appointment here, both were fantastic!
Tom has a great manner and had no trouble getting to the bottom of my injury. I'm a big fan of the app they use because it overcomes the problem of forgetting exercises or how to do them properly

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After suffering from back pain and muscle stiffness for a while due to a work related injury.
I went in to see the guys at Next Gen and was referred to Adam for a remedial massage. After my first massage I immediately rebooked with him again, his knowledge about particular muscles and post massage exercises is great, and also how in-depth he goes with his massage definitely made me want to return again. I can’t recommend Next Gen Physio enough.
Thanks guys!
