Surf Smart: Common Injuries & How to Prevent Them
Surfing is an incredible way to stay fit, enjoy the outdoors and connect with the ocean — but like any sport, it can place unique demands on your body. At Realign Physio & Co, we’ve been seeing more surfers lately (no surprise with so many great breaks here on the Gold Coast!) experiencing similar aches, pains and injuries.
The good news? With the right preparation and care, most of these issues can be prevented or managed.
Most Common Surfing-Related Injuries🏄
1. Shoulder Pain
Paddling puts a lot of repetitive stress on the shoulders, especially the rotator cuff muscles. This can lead to overuse injuries like tendinopathy or impingement.
Prevention Tip: Strengthen your rotator cuff and upper back muscles, and make sure you warm up before you paddle out.
2. Lower Back Strain
Arching the spine while paddling can irritate the lower back or cause muscle strains. Surfers often describe stiffness or soreness after longer sessions.
Prevention Tip: Improve your core stability and flexibility through exercises like Pilates or targeted physiotherapy programs.
3. Neck Tightness
Keeping your head lifted for long periods can strain the neck muscles and joints.
Prevention Tip: Include regular neck mobility and stretching exercises in your routine. Short breaks to rest your neck between sets can also help.
4. Knee & Ankle Injuries
Rapid pop-ups, twists and landings in unstable positions can stress the knees and ankles, sometimes resulting in sprains or ligament strains.
Prevention Tip: Work on balance, proprioception and leg strength off the board — single-leg exercises and wobble board drills are great options.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapists understand the specific demands of surfing. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or trying to prevent one, a tailored program can:
Improve your paddling and pop-up mechanics
Strengthen key muscle groups
Enhance flexibility and balance
Reduce pain and speed up recovery
At Realign Physio & Co, we offer personalised rehab and conditioning plans for surfers of all levels — plus Pilates and exercise physiology sessions to build resilience and keep you in the water longer.
Takeaway Message
Surfing is tough on the body, but it doesn’t have to lead to pain. By investing a little time into injury prevention and proper recovery, you can enjoy more sessions and fewer setbacks — whether you’re catching waves on the Gold Coast or beyond.

What is a Rotator Cuff Tear — and Do You Really Need Surgery?
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that connect your shoulder blade (scapula) to your upper arm bone (humerus). These muscles are:
Subscapularis – located on the front of the shoulder blade
Supraspinatus – sits on top of the shoulder blade
Infraspinatus – found on the back of the shoulder blade
Teres minor – also on the back of the shoulder blade
While each muscle helps with specific movements like lifting your arm, rotating it inwards or outwards, their most important role is dynamic stability—keeping the shoulder joint controlled and supported during all movements.
Common Causes of a Weak or Painful Shoulder
Shoulder pain generally falls into three broad categories:
Stiff Shoulder – for example, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Unstable Shoulder – usually following dislocations or subluxations
Weak & Painful Shoulder – including conditions such as:
Shoulder impingement
Subacromial pain syndrome
Rotator cuff tendinitis, tendinosis, or tendinopathy
Rotator cuff tears
Many people assume that imaging, injections, or surgery are required to treat these issues. In reality, exercise therapy is usually the first-line treatment. Shoulder pain often relates more to current tissue sensitivity from activity changes or overall health factors than to structural damage like a new tear or severe inflammation.
For instance, rotator cuff tears are surprisingly common in people without any symptoms, and their prevalence increases with age. Research shows that these tears don’t always affect function or cause pain:
Surgery is not always necessary. Evidence suggests that non-operative management is as effective as surgery for many rotator cuff tears, including both partial and full-thickness tears. In fact, nearly half of full-thickness tears can be asymptomatic.
Understanding Pain and Recovery
Rotator cuff tears are often thought to be like a rope that’s been cut, but a better analogy is a small hole in a piece of cloth—the cloth (aka the shoulder) can still function well despite the tear.
This means that experiencing some discomfort during rehab is normal and safe, as long as it’s manageable and progressively improves over time. Symptoms are usually linked to the shoulder being sensitive to certain positions or movements, not irreparable damage.
The goals of rehab are straightforward:
Temporarily modify activities that aggravate the shoulder
Improve overall health through lifestyle and exercise
Address deficits in strength, range of motion, and confidence with a manageable and progressive exercise program
With the right approach, most people can safely return to their normal activities, improve function, and reduce pain—all without immediately resorting to surgery.
If you have been told you have a rotator cuff tear and would like to know what you can do to help, book in for an appointment at Realign Physio & Co. Our team can guide you through tailored exercises, pain management strategies, and support your recovery.
How Exercise Physiology Helps with Managing Chronic Conditions
Living with a chronic condition can impact far more than just your physical health. Whether you’re managing ongoing back pain, arthritis, or recovering from injury, it can affect your confidence, mobility, performance and overall quality of life.
Exercise Physiology offers a safe, personalised way to improve movement, reduce symptoms, and support long-term function — even when other treatments haven’t been enough on their own.
What Is Exercise Physiology?
Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified allied health professionals who specialise in clinical movement therapy. Their role is to prescribe exercise based on a person’s medical history, functional capacity, and long-term goals.
Exercise Physiology isn’t about fitness for the sake of it. It’s about:
- Understanding how your body responds to movement
- Improving strength, stability, and mobility
- Reducing symptoms like pain, stiffness, or fatigue
- Helping you stay active and independent for longer
Musculoskeletal Focus: Building Strength Around Pain and Injury
At Realign Physio & Co, we most commonly support clients with chronic or complex musculoskeletal conditions. These include:
- Returning to Sport After Injury or Surgery: We support safe, progressive return to sport following injury or surgery. Our tailored programs rebuild strength, restore confidence, and reduce re-injury risk — helping you get back to what you love.
- Persistent back or neck pain
Improving spinal control, strength, and endurance can reduce discomfort and improve your ability to handle everyday tasks. - Arthritis and joint degeneration
Exercise helps preserve joint range of motion, reduce stiffness, and support the muscles that stabilise affected areas. - Tendon injuries (e.g. Achilles, gluteal, shoulder)
Progressive loading is a proven strategy for helping tendons heal and regain their strength and capacity. - Joint hypermobility and instability
Targeted movement can improve control, reduce strain on joints, and help prevent injury through better support and coordination.
Beyond the Muscles and Joints
While musculoskeletal conditions are common, Exercise Physiology also plays a key role in managing non-musculoskeletal chronic conditions, such as:
- Type 2 diabetes – Exercise improves insulin sensitivity and supports blood glucose management.
- Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia – Gentle, structured movement helps reduce flare-ups and improve energy regulation.
- Mental health conditions – Regular movement is shown to improve mood, sleep, and stress levels, especially when tailored to the individual.
- Neurological conditions – For those with conditions like MS or Parkinson’s, exercise can help preserve motor control, strength, and mobility.
An Exercise Physiologist is trained to modify programs for complex health needs, ensuring movement is safe, manageable, and supportive of long-term wellbeing.
Why Not Just Go to the Gym?
The gym can be helpful for many people, but for those managing chronic pain, fatigue, or injury, it’s not always the right place to start. It’s common to feel unsure about what’s safe, which exercises to avoid, or how to pace yourself — and without guidance, this can lead to flare-ups, frustration, or giving up altogether.
An Exercise Physiologist takes the guesswork out.
They help you:
- Understand your limits — and how to work within them
- Build strength and function progressively
- Learn how to move without aggravating symptoms
- Regain trust in your body, at your own pace
Whether you’re just starting out or returning to movement after a long break, an AEP ensures your program is safe, individualised, and clinically appropriate.
The Goal: Movement That Works for You
Many people living with chronic conditions avoid exercise because they fear doing more harm than good — especially if previous attempts led to setbacks. But the right movement, introduced gradually and with support, can help you feel stronger, more capable, and more in control.
At Realign Physio & Co., we work closely with clients to create sustainable programs that fit your body and your lifestyle. Whether you’re recovering from injury, living with persistent pain, or managing a long-term condition, Exercise Physiology can help guide your next step forward.
Enhancing Mobility and Quality of Life with Parkinson's PhysiotherapyPhysiotherapy for Parkinson’s Disease: Enhancing Mobility and Quality of Life
April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, with World Parkinson’s Day on April 11th—a time to raise awareness and highlight the importance of early intervention and effective management strategies. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and coordination. While there is no cure, physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing symptoms and improving the overall quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s.
How Does Physiotherapy Help?
Physiotherapy is essential in maintaining mobility, preventing falls, and enhancing daily function.
It focuses on:
- Improving Balance and Coordination – Parkinson’s can cause postural instability, making individuals more prone to falls. Physiotherapists use exercises that enhance balance and spatial awareness.
- Increasing Mobility and Flexibility – Stiffness and rigidity are common symptoms. Stretching and mobility exercises help maintain movement and reduce discomfort.
- Strength and Endurance – Muscle weakness can develop over time. Strength training and aerobic exercises boost endurance and overall physical function.
- Gait Re-training – Parkinson’s affects walking patterns, often leading to shuffling steps. Physiotherapy incorporates techniques to encourage longer strides and better posture.
- Cueing Strategies and Functional Training – Physiotherapists use external cues (like rhythmic auditory stimulation or visual markers) to help patients with movement initiation and coordination.
Common Physiotherapy Techniques for Parkinson’s
Several evidence-based approaches are effective for Parkinson’s patients:
PD Warrior – is an exercise-based rehabilitation program designed specifically for people with Parkinson’s disease. It focuses on neuroplasticity principles to slow disease progression and improve function.
Balance and Resistance Training – Incorporates stability exercises, core strengthening, and resistance workouts to enhance physical capabilities.
Functional Task Practice – Exercises that mimic daily activities, such as getting up from a chair or walking on different surfaces, to improve independence.
When to See a Physiotherapist?
It’s never too early to start physiotherapy. Early intervention can help slow the progression of movement difficulties and allow individuals to maintain independence for longer. If you or a loved one has Parkinson’s and is experiencing stiffness, balance issues, or difficulty walking, consulting a physiotherapist can provide tailored strategies to manage symptoms effectively.
Final Thoughts
Physiotherapy is a key component of Parkinson’s care, offering tools to improve mobility, strength, and confidence in movement. With the right exercises and support, individuals can stay active and maintain their quality of life.

Pilates History and MarchMatness
The History of Pilates
Pilates is more than just an exercise method—it’s a practice with a rich history and a global following. Understanding its origins provides insight into its lasting impact on health and movement.
The Origins of Pilates
Joseph Pilates, the creator of the Pilates method, was born in Germany in 1883. As a child, he suffered from various health conditions, including asthma and rickets. Determined to strengthen his body, he studied a range of physical disciplines, including gymnastics, yoga, and martial arts.
During World War I, Pilates was interned in England, where he refined his training techniques, helping fellow internees improve their strength and mobility. This period was instrumental in the development of his Contrology method, which later became known as Pilates. After the war, he moved to the United States and, with his wife Clara, opened a studio in New York City in the 1920s. His method gained popularity among dancers, athletes, and those seeking rehabilitation from injuries.
The Development of the Pilates Method
Joseph Pilates’ approach to exercise was centered on the idea that physical and mental health are deeply interconnected. He believed in training the body through controlled and precise movements, emphasizing core strength, flexibility, and breathing.
Pilates developed a series of exercises that could be performed both on the mat and using specialised equipment, such as the Reformer and Cadillac. His method was particularly embraced by the dance community, as it helped improve alignment, strength, and injury prevention. Over time, Pilates expanded beyond dance and was adopted by athletes, rehabilitation professionals, and fitness enthusiasts worldwide.
The Evolution and Global Influence of Pilates
Following Joseph Pilates’ passing in 1967, his students, known as the “Pilates Elders,” continued to teach and expand upon his method. As the practice grew in popularity, different styles and variations emerged, ranging from classical Pilates, which stays true to the original teachings, to contemporary adaptations incorporating modern biomechanics and rehabilitation techniques.
Today, Pilates is practiced globally in studios, gyms, and rehabilitation centers. Its benefits are widely recognised for improving posture, core stability, flexibility, and overall well-being. Despite its evolution, the core principles of Pilates — control, concentration, precision, breath, flow, and centering — remain the foundation of its practice.
March MATness: A Celebration of Pilates History
One of the ways the Pilates community honors its history is through March MATness, an annual event that celebrates the original 34 mat exercises designed by Joseph Pilates. Started in 2013 by Pilates instructor Benjamin Degenhardt, March MATness encourages practitioners around the world to revisit and share these foundational exercises throughout the month of March.
Each day in March, participants focus on a different mat exercise, sharing insights, modifications, and experiences through social media and local Pilates communities. This movement not only spreads awareness of the method but also deepens appreciation for its origins and principles.

Understanding and Improving Metabolic Health with 4 Key Markers
In today’s world, metabolic health is more important than ever. It’s about how efficiently and effectively your body processes energy, and unfortunately, we’re in the middle of a metabolic health crisis. But how can you actually measure your metabolic health? It all comes down to four key clinical markers: blood sugar levels, triglycerides, blood pressure, and waist circumference.
Each of these markers offers insights into your body’s health, and together, they paint a full picture of your metabolic state. Here, we’ll explore how these markers are measured and simple, actionable steps you can take to improve them.
1. Blood Glucose Levels
Blood glucose refers to the sugar in your bloodstream, which primarily comes from the food you eat. A healthy fasting blood glucose level typically falls between 70 and 100 mg/dL (3.9–5.6 mmol/L).
Maintaining stable blood sugar has a wide range of benefits—from improving your mood to supporting hormone balance. Diet, exercise, sleep, and stress all influence blood sugar, so it’s important to manage these aspects of your lifestyle.
How to Lower Blood Glucose Levels:
- Focus on a diet rich in fiber and low in refined sugars and simple carbs.
- Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking, which improves insulin sensitivity.2. Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood, and high levels can increase the risk of heart disease. Ideally, your triglyceride levels should be under 150 mg/dL.
How to Lower Triglycerides:
- Reduce alcohol consumption, as it can raise triglyceride levels.
- Add omega-3-rich foods, like fatty fish, chia seeds, or supplements, to your diet.
3. Blood Pressure
Blood pressure measures the force of your blood against the walls of your arteries. A healthy blood pressure is typically below 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure (above 130/80 mmHg) can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
How to Lower Blood Pressure:
- Adopt a Mediterranean or DASH diet, both of which are rich in fiber and low in sodium.
- Manage stress, get enough sleep, and reduce alcohol and salt intake for better control of blood pressure.4. Waist Circumference
Waist circumference is an indicator of visceral fat—the fat that surrounds your internal organs. For men, a healthy waist circumference is less than 94 cm, and for women, it’s less than 80 cm.
How to Lower Waist Circumference:
- Focus on consistent exercise, combining aerobic activity and strength training to reduce body fat and improve muscle mass.
- Pair regular physical activity with a balanced, nutrient-dense diet to enhance fat loss.Key Takeaways for Better Metabolic Health
Each of these four markers—blood glucose, triglycerides, blood pressure, and waist circumference—plays a crucial role in your overall metabolic health. Improving one can often lead to improvements in others, making it easier to build a healthier body with the right habits.
Focus on the Four Pillars of Metabolic Health: nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management. By optimizing these areas, you can improve your metabolic markers and safeguard your long-term health. Better metabolic health is within reach, and by making small, sustainable changes, you can dramatically improve your well-being.
Navigating Hip and Knee Replacements: Is Surgery the Path for You?
Exploring Paths: From Pain to Possibility
Many individuals find themselves at a crossroads, wondering if surgery is the right path. Chronic pain, stiffness, and limited mobility can make everyday activities challenging. Conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and joint injuries often lead people to consider hip or knee replacement surgery. This procedure involves replacing the joint surfaces with artificial components to restore function and alleviate pain. However, before deciding on surgery, exploring conservative management options can also significantly improve quality of life. Everyone’s circumstances and goals are different, so either path can lead to positive results. Making an informed decision involves considering advice from your healthcare team, including our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists, as well as discussions with your doctors.
Conservative Management and Outcomes
Before opting for surgery, many people find that conservative management strategies, including physiotherapy and exercise physiology, can provide significant relief. Research shows that exercise is a first-line treatment for managing arthritis, helping to reduce pain, improve joint function, and enhance overall quality of life.
Conservative Management focuses on:
• Strengthening Muscles:Â Building the muscles around the joint to provide better support and stability.
• Improving Flexibility: Enhancing the range of motion to alleviate stiffness and improve mobility.
• Pain Management: Employing techniques such as manual therapy to manage discomfort effectively.
Outcomes of Conservative Management can be quite positive. Many individuals experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and a better quality of life without the need for surgery. Our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists will guide you in performing exercises correctly and safely, ensuring you don’t overdo it. This approach not only helps you make a more informed decision about surgery but also enhances recovery and long-term outcomes if surgery is eventually needed.
You’ve Decided on Surgery: How Physiotherapy Can Help
Once you’ve chosen surgery, physiotherapy becomes crucial for both preparing your body and ensuring a smooth recovery. Prehabilitation and post-surgery physiotherapy are essential components in achieving optimal outcomes.
Prehabilitation, or pre-surgery physiotherapy, typically lasts 4-6 weeks and focuses on enhancing strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness. This approach helps set realistic recovery goals and prepares your body for the upcoming surgery.
Post-surgery physiotherapy is essential for a successful recovery. It involves a structured rehabilitation plan designed to support proper healing and restore function. Our physiotherapists will work with you through:
• Week 1-2: Emphasis on gait retraining, increasing range of motion, regaining strength, and managing pain.
• Week 3-6: Continuing to improve range of motion, phasing out mobility devices if needed, building strength, and potentially resuming work or driving depending on your progress.
• Week 7-12: Engaging in lighter exercises like walking, swimming, or cycling initially, then discussing specific goals such as returning to gardening or low-impact sports like golf or dance.
By engaging in a comprehensive physiotherapy program before and after surgery, you can work towards specific goals and activities you enjoy. Our team will support you throughout, helping you regain mobility and enhance your quality of life.
Common Challenges
• Pain and Swelling: Early stages require careful management.
• Adhering to Rehab Protocols: Consistency is key for successful outcomes.
• Emotional and Mental Health: Anxiety and mood changes are normal; support is available.

Plantar Fasciitis
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
The plantar fascia is a thick, fibrous band of tissue located on the bottom of your foot. It extends from the heel to the base of the toes. This tissue plays a crucial role in stabilising and supporting your foot as you move through daily activities. However, when the plantar fascia becomes overloaded and strained, it can become inflamed and injured, leading to pain and discomfort. This condition is known as plantar fasciitis.
Causes
The primary cause of plantar fasciitis is a change in how you load your foot. Several factors can increase your risk of developing this condition, including:
Overuse and over-training
- Inadequate or worn-out footwear
- Poor strength, mobility, and flexibility in the lower limbs
- Muscle imbalances and dysfunction
- Weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle
- Rigid feet with poor mobility and flexibility, which are inadequate to absorb shock
- Leg length differences
- Abnormal walking and running patterns that place extra stress on the heel bone and ligaments
- Careers and hobbies that involve prolonged periods of standing
- Age; as you get older, your tissues become less elastic
When high loads are repeatedly placed on the heel bone and surrounding soft tissues, they can become fatigued and lose their ability to absorb shock effectively, leading to plantar fasciitis.
Symptoms
Plantar fasciitis typically begins with mild pain at the heel bone, often described as a stone bruise. This pain is usually felt after (not during) exercise. It is most pronounced right after getting up in the morning or after a period of sitting. Without treatment, plantar fasciitis can become a chronic condition, potentially leading to reduced activity levels and further issues with the foot, knee, hip, and back, as the condition can alter your walking pattern.
Treatment
Managing plantar fasciitis involves a combination of exercises, physiotherapy, and massage to alleviate pain and promote healing. Here are some effective treatment methods:
- Stretching Exercises: Regular stretching of the calf muscles and the plantar fascia can help reduce tension and promote flexibility. Try stretching exercises such as calf stretches, towel stretches, and toe stretches.
- Strengthening Exercises: Strengthening the muscles of the foot and lower leg can improve stability and reduce strain on the plantar fascia. Exercises like toe curls, picking up marbles with your toes, and resistance band exercises are beneficial.
- Physiotherapy: A physiotherapist can design a personalised exercise program, taping, and manual therapy to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Massage: Regular massage can help increase blood flow to the affected area, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate pain. Techniques such as deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy are particularly effective.
- Footwear: Wearing supportive shoes with good arch support and cushioning can help alleviate symptoms. In some cases, orthotic inserts may also provide additional support and reduce strain on the plantar fascia.
- Rest and Ice: Resting the affected foot and applying ice can help reduce inflammation and pain. It’s important to avoid activities that exacerbate the condition.
By understanding the causes, recognising the symptoms, and following a comprehensive treatment plan, you can effectively manage plantar fasciitis and maintain your active lifestyle.
