Hey guys,

Now that I've started exercising properly again my wrist (fractured+plate due to being hit by a car on my motorcycle years ago) has started getting irritated, to the point where days after exercising my whole arm will be aching.

It's been hurting more often just in general so I'm thinking it would be a good idea to get it consistently looked after.

Can anyone recommend a good physio in this area?

Chuuurs.

Marginally off-thread JEPPE, I wouldn't discount an acupuncturist who's a member of the AAA. Such practitioners are consulted by football teams to shorten recovery time.

So if the physio has given you limited improvement,......

its hard to find a physio that doesnt do the token treatment these days. They will do a little bit of assessment, rub it a bit, use an ultrasound on it and then TENS machine with either hot or cold.

If you can find someone that doesnt just go through the motions and do that then youll be better off. Unfortunently I cant recommend anyway in your area as im from canberra...

How about an Osteo?

I have a very good one just near me. They aren't just for backs etc :)

I found better improvements there than going to the local physio - who has all sorts of sporting team accolades from Olympic teams etc.

You can buy your own TENS machine these days for not that much $$. Add in some research on exercises and the physio service doesnt really cut the mustard.

Id suggest you try Terrys suggestion & give accupuncture a go. You may very well find it extremely helpful.

Hey, I'm after an Osteo (I reckon a bad osteo is better than most physio or chiro's)..

Send me the details!!

Kathy at Good Sport Physio in Deakin is awesome, she doesn't just do the typical stuff...

As for acupuncture, some physios are also doing dry needling now, if you can find a physio that does that (similar to acupuncture) than that is a good idea, a lot of physios are trained in more than one modality these days so if you can find one like that than I would give them a go...

Thanks everyone. Ash can you plug please?

Will check out Kathy and research some acu, as long as they allow it to be covered by TAC then I'll try anything and everything... at the same time! (not really)

a physio is a good idea. Go there with some requirements ; 1) manage the present injury /soreness. 2) get a set of recovery and strength movements for that arm.

You likely have underlying muscle / tendon weakness from the damage you sustained from the accident. Recovery to 'normal function' so you can do office work etc. doesn't reveal the strength differences between the two arms.

My guess is you are experiencing tendonitis from exceeding what that arm can handle by giving it the same loads and work that your good arm is doing when doing weights. This makes perfect sense.

What you can do is focus on movements for wrist and grip strengthening for that arm, once it's not sore. This will see you right in a few months. The good arm will not be doing anything while you are training the strength back into the bad one. the goal is to have an equal strength in both (bad arm is playing catch up).

So don't do things like bicep curls and other movements that will load the forearm muscles until you have it right.

If there is no permanent damage to tendons in the arm , then there should be a good chance you will be back to normal in no time.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
