In honour of the NFL in Melbourne.

The NFL just released its 2025 season health & safety review — and there's real progress to unpack:

🏈 ACL tears down 25%, tying a 7-season low — most of the drop coming from non-contact, change-of-direction injuries
🦵 Hamstring & lower-extremity strains now at HALF the rate seen 2018–2022
🎯 Dynamic Kickoff: more plays, more returns (+1,157), yet a 35% drop in lower-extremity injuries on the play
🧠 Record 538 in-game concussion evaluations + 26 medical timeouts — the conservative approach continues
🌱 Turf vs. grass: no significant difference in injury rate for the 3rd straight year

Overall injury rates held steady even as the game got faster and more dynamic. Progress is real — and the work continues.

Proud of this doodle.

Love the expansive scope that physio brings in the complexity, variety and individual nature of injury.

Aspetar World Conference Lessons #4

Here is @dr.khalid_alkhelaifi's key points regarding his presentation on meniscus injuries and the clinical reasoning that surgeon's would have with certain meniscus injuries.

Different meniscus injuries have different blood supply and different types of tears. These all have a factor in terms of rehabilitation, weight bearing status and how aggressive we can be with rehabilitation.

Thank you again to everyone who have helped me over the last 2 years through this process.

The team @southmelbournephysio. Andy, for supporting my further education, mentoring and starting my journey as a physio. Rakesh, Brodie and Emma for being incredible mentors as a new grad and the countless hours that you have provided in learning and life lessons. The extended team at SMP from the reception, staff and clients who I learn from every day.

@benlustigphysiotherapy for the passion and drive to be better as a clinician.

@orionhandtherapy for the helping hand in every aspect of my life.

My family and friends who have supported me through the ups and downs of an beautiful learning experience.

Finally to all the clients, patients and people who trust through the process. Every interaction is an opportunity to learn.

Through all the learnings, journals, exercises, professional development, assignments and lectures, the greatest asset we have is our ability to communicate, listen and understand someone else.

You are only as powerful as you make the people around you feel. by @yomi.physio

I had the awesome opportunity to do one of my placements last year at Melbourne Storm.

It was an incredible experience to be a fly on the wall of one of the most successful sports teams in Australia.

It was heartbreaking to watch the Storm lose the grand final last year but will be super keen for their 2026 season. by @yomi.physio
