Girls Footy Pre-season Strength Training
Richmond Tigers are still basking in their glory and we are already talking about footy pre-season!
Now is the time to build up strength and resilience and improve your basic movement patterns in order to hit pre-season training in the best shape possible and lessen the risk of injury. The rate of girls participation in footy has dramatically increased but so has the rate of injuries. ACL injuries in the AFLW were 6 x greater than the men’s program, so there is an essential need to address the underlying biomechanics and strength deficits that may be contributing to this discrepancy between genders.

Strength and Conditioning Program Design
Can’t commit to a regular class each week? Kate Dyball is adding another Masters qualification to her already impressive CV, as an experienced Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist. Complimenting her coaching qualifications in Weightlifting and Rowing, with a Masters in Exercise Science (Strength and Conditioning).
Kate is now seeing clients on a Wednesday afternoon at Spring Physio Gym. She will conduct a thorough assessment of your current status including posture, injury history, strength and endurance, alongside a discussion of your goals. She will then develop an individualised plan to address any deficits and help you achieve those goals. The program will be taught and supervised until you are confident with the exercises, allowing you to perform the program independently with periodic reviews for progression.
Our GLAD program continues to be popular as more and more GP’s are recognising the better alternative of managing knee and hip osteoarthritis with a structured exercise program, rather than pharmaceuticals and surgery.
We have been offering an Education night aimed at School Rowing Program coaches. We teach them how to empower and monitor their rowers to take ownership and responsibility for their flexibility and the movement patterns required for good technique and injury prevention. The program is based on Rowing Australia’s guidelines and flexibility benchmarks. Rowing coaches will leave knowing how to measure, record and implement an internal Screening program for all rowers. Please call if you are interested in further information.
