GRAM REVIEW: Back to the Gram

Back to the Gram

The Australian Edition

by Emma Lattey

The team here at SEPNZ have decided to branch out with our reviews to include social media Sports Physiotherapy influencers that are worthwhile following. To finish of the year here is my pick of two of the best Aussies from Insta :–

mickhughes.physio

• Most of you would have heard of Mick Hughes who works as a titled Sports Physiotherapist at The Melbourne Sports Medicine Centre and is responsible for one half of the team that produced the Melbourne ACL Rehabilitation Guide.

Mick started his career as an Exercise Physiologist and so his feed and his methods are full of great exercise prescription advice and demonstrations. He is a big fan of keeping rehab simple and effective with progressive overload and promotes loading principles to encourage physios to prescribe well thought out rehabilitation for the athletes we treat – but predominantly his posts are related to ACL injuries. • Personally, I direct many of my ACL patients to Mick’s In-

stagram page as there is a lot of excellent ACL content and information for all levels of understanding. Mick posts very regularly and has latest research blurbs with access to the articles if you sign up for free to his journal club @learn.physio.

• physioresearch

• The Physio Research page is a daily-ish dose of the latest musculoskeletal physiotherapy-related research blurbs which provide eye-catching and informative information to your Instagram feed. The posts are a great mix of subject matter with many sports related.

• Physio research is linked to physio-network.com which is backed by some of the big hitters in Australian physiotherapy research like Peter O’Sullivan and Peter Malliaras. Physio Network have their own Instagram page with more followers, but I prefer the layout and information provided here.
