It involves inserting a fine needle (or acupuncture needle) into a myofascial trigger point. Initially, trigger points are produced as a normal, protective physiological measure in the presence of actual or potential muscle damage. However, when these trigger points are sustained it can contribute to pain and loss of range of motion. Pain caused by trigger points is due to lack of oxygen and blood flow within the muscle, which decreases the pH of the muscle. Dry needling of these myofascial trigger points can stimulate a local twitch response – an involuntary spinal cord reflex contraction of the muscle fibres. Triggering this response has been shown to increase oxygen and blood flow to the muscle to restore its natural pH levels, thus alleviating pain. Dry needling can also target deep myofascial trigger points which may be difficult to reach with traditional massage and manual therapy. https://www.sportsphysioulladulla.com.au/faq daily 0.75 2025-07-24 https://www.sportsphysioulladulla.com.au/alex-walsh daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a878a38788aa6bf2c34584/b70a5949-dded-4123-86db-b8a6d44aa336/alex+headshot+1.jpg Alex Walsh - Physiotherapist, Practice Director Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Running screenings are an assessment of important biomechanics required for running. The goal of the assessment is to highlight any weaknesses or restrictions that may be contributing to or have the potential to contribute to a running-related injury. Who is it for? A running screening can be for all runners, old or young, social or competitive. We have developed different screenings so that your experience is tailored to your running level and your goals. If you are often running through niggles, new to running and looking to improve your 5km time, or a junior athlete looking to take your athletics more seriously, a screening will help you achieve these goals. What does it do? Running at any level is a high load sport and unfortunately, injuries are often part of a runner’s story. Our goal is to identify areas in your body which may be at increased risk of injury with running due to weakness, tightness or instability. By identifying these areas and developing a personalised program, we can reduce the likelihood of injury and help you to achieve your running goals. Whilst we may discuss your running technique, this is primarily the role of a running coach. Following the screening, we can liaise with your coach to work as a team to improve your running. Do I need an injury to do a screening? Not at all! Our screening is used to highlight any areas that may potentially contribute to an injury. We then use the results from the screening to create an individualised exercise program. This may include stretches, mobility exercises or strength training. However, if you happen to have an injury whilst performing the screening, it may also help to highlight to you the reasoning behind the injury. How will I know if I am improving? During the screening, you will be given a program to help improve any areas of concern. Depending on the findings, we often recommend following up with the Physiotherapist after a few weeks of the program to assess progress and make any necessary changes.

With experience working with Athletics NSW and many national level athletes, we have developed this screening utilising this experience with the number 1 goal of keeping you running. https://www.sportsphysioulladulla.com.au/swimming-screenings daily 0.75 2025-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a878a38788aa6bf2c34584/b545ed04-caab-476c-9147-589df695fda2/iStock-1332857654.jpg Swimming Screenings Swimming Screenings What is a Swimming Screening? Efficient swimming is the combination of achieving the necessary positions for each part of the stroke, and then having the strength and stability to pull yourself through the water. Swimming screenings are an assessment of important biomechanics required to swim efficiently. The assessment will highlight weaknesses or restrictions that may lead to injury or may be limiting your performance. Who is it for? A swimming screening is for anyone who is involved in swimming, whether you are a Junior Club swimmer competing at State or National Level, or a social open water swimmer, we have different screenings based on different needs. Our physiotherapists are aware different age groups and performance goals have different biomechanical needs, and our screenings will adapt to this. What do we assess? Swimmers are often exposed to high training loads and because of this, poor biomechanics can lead to overuse injuries in the shoulder, neck, lumbar spine and occasionally in the hip and knee. Our assessment will look at each of these areas with the aim to reduce the risk of an injury as well as increase performance.

Critical surfing requires a combination of upper & lower body strength, posture and key joint ranges of motion to get your body into the necessary positions to surf well. Surf Screenings involve assessing joint ranges of motion, strength and movement patterns specific to surfing. The assessment will highlight weaknesses or restrictions that may lead to injury or may be limiting your performance. Who is it for? A Surf Screening is for anyone that surfs, whether it be beginner, intermediate or advanced. whether you are just learning to surf or looking to take the next step from intermediate to advanced, we have different screenings based on different needs. Our physiotherapists are aware of different levels of surfing, age groups and their different biomechanical needs by tailoring our screenings to the individuals need. What do I get out of a Surf Screen? You’ll walk away with an individualised exercise program targeted towards the areas highlighted in the screen. It is also a good overview of your baseline, this means we will have good statistics of your body pre-injury. If you do get injured in the future, we will know what numbers we are aiming for before getting you back in the water. What do we assess? Surfers are often exposed to big increases in load; surf as much as you can in a 3 day window, while the surf is good. Followed by 1-2 weeks of not too motivating conditions and repeat. The inconsistent nature of surfing is what can cause common overuse injuries in the shoulder, neck, lumbar spine and occasionally in the hip and knee. Our assessment will look at the strength and range of motion at each of these areas with the aim to reduce the risk of an injury as well as increase performance. We also assess breath hold capacity and look to improve surfers ability to handle a long hold down. How will I know if I am improving? During the screening, you will be given a program to help improve any areas of concern.
