6 tips for sitting through Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

19/12/2015

​​The highly anticipated seventh installment of Star Wars will bring over 2 hours of action-packed fun for the family. Trailers have been trickling out for the last couple of months leaving fans itching for its release. I've got my tickets already and have been playing with my figurines for the last month in preparation. I’m all set! 
​
But if you want to stay nimble, agile and healthy like Master Yoda instead of hunched over like Darth Sidious, then here are 6 tips that may help!
  1. Book a centre seat: Not only do you get the best view, but you also wont be spending the whole movie with a twisted or extended neck being too close or too far to side of the of screen!

  2. Preload: Drink and eat adequately. You will need your energy to pay full attention to epic light sabre battles between the Sith and the Jedi. Don’t overload to soon though or you will experience the full power of the force that will likely take you away from the screen.

  3. Wear loose clothing: Master Luke looks pretty relaxed in his Jedi robes. As you grip the seat, the chair or the person next to you in suspense you wont want to be fighting your clothing too!

  4. Arrive early-ish: Undoubtedly the queues will be long and trudging through them will be a bigger battle than Luke Vs Darth Vader. Seriously, who wants to stand in queue for ages getting sore and bored.

  5. Relax: Try not to stiffen up in the chair – relax! Try clenching and relaxing your bottom, or pressing your feet to lift your heels a few times. Let the movie build suspense, not your body!

  6. Light sabres. No amount of physiotherapy can help someone who has been struck down with one of these. Leave them at home. 
    ​
So there you go! Even if you haven’t just watched all 6 previous episodes in preparation, these tips will ensure that you are nice and comfortable in the cinema enjoying the film to its fullest. So go, have fun and may the force be with you!

Hampton Physiotherapist Swims the Cerberus at Half Moon Bay

2/3/2012

Comments

 
Hi, Jayce here from Peak MSK Physiotherapy. I love a swim and last Saturday I did the 3km swim event at Half Moon Bay. It took 55 minutes and 35 seconds. That gave me time to think aboutswimmer’s shoulder and how to treat them at my specialist physiotherapy clinic in Hampton, Bayside Melbourne. I also realised that my red meat and red wine pre-event meal the night before was less than ideal.

At least I had stretched before, giving more pull through the water. Some causes of swimmer’s shoulder relate to a tight shoulder capsule. I routinely examine for this, in particular medial shoulder rotation. This gives the swimmer the propeller motion. Lose that range and and other shoulder structures like the rotator cuff tendon become overloaded.

Some swimmers put their shoulders through 16,000 rotations per day, so screening and physiotherapy treatment is key. Have a look at Lynch (2010) if you like the subject.

Lynch, S. S. et al. (2010). The effects of an exercise intervention on forward head and rounded shoulder postures in elite swimmers. Br J Sports Med, 44(5), 376-381.

So if you’re in strife with your shoulder, swimming, playing the cello or mowing the lawn, I’m happy to help. Find our details on the contact page.
