One of the most valuable outcomes of my six visits to the NFL since 2018 has not been the facilities, technology or access behind the scenes.

It has been the relationships.

Pictured here with Roland, Head Physiotherapist of the Houston Texans, during my most recent visit to Houston.

Over the past eight years, what began as professional respect has grown into genuine friendship. We are the same age, both fathers of two active children, both passionate about health, strength training and helping people perform at their best. Every time I visit Houston, we make time to sit down over dinner and talk shop — leadership, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, performance, recovery, business and life.

Choosing the right physio can feel like a big decision.

When you are in pain, injured, frustrated, uncertain, or simply wanting the best physiotherapy outcome possible, you want to know that you are putting your body in the right hands.

That is why Google reviews matter.

They are not just stars on a screen. They are real stories from real people who have walked through the doors at Evoker, experienced our care, trusted our process, and taken the time to share their positive experience publicly.

Evoker is proud to share that our Founder and Director, Adam Monteith, has been featured in the latest Move Well Edition of Wellness on Time Magazine.

This edition explores the power of movement, strength, resilience and long-term wellbeing — themes that sit at the heart of what we do every day at Evoker, a premium physiotherapy clinic in the heart of the Sydney CBD.

For us, movement is not just about avoiding pain or recovering from injury. It is about building the physical capacity to live well, work well, train well, age well and keep doing the things that matter most.

While many of us focus on lifting more, running further or completing more reps when working out, there’s one crucial component we may be overlooking: improving our mobility.

“It’s the blend of joint range, muscle flexibility, neuromuscular control and strength that lets you perform everyday tasks smoothly, from reaching overhead to getting out of a chair to running, lifting or playing sport,” said Evoker director and musculoskeletal physiotherapist Adam Monteith.

At Evoker, we’re fortunate to work with some of the most motivated, high-performing people in Sydney’s CBD — individuals who value their health, their movement, and their ability to live life at full speed.

Sometimes, their stories are so powerful that they reach far beyond our clinic walls.

Recently, one of our Evoker patients was featured in the news for an incredible health transformation: losing 20kg, overcoming long-term back pain, and dramatically improving his sleep and energy — all through consistent movement, strength work and smart lifestyle changes.

If your running is continually interrupted by niggling and annoying hip, knee, foot and ankle pains, then you need to see a sports physio who personally understands, and has genuinely ‘felt’ the challenges of running. A physio who has navigated the complexities of a marathon ready running program. A physio who has completed a sub 5mins/km marathon. A physio that heroes strength and conditioning, and couples this to running science and running performance. If you have pain when you run, at certain speeds or distances, then you need to see Mick at Evoker Physio Sydney CBD today. 

Australian clinics are reporting a substantial increase in patients presenting with ‘tech neck’, a condition associated with prolonged mobile device use.

Physiotherapist Adam Monteith, from Evoker, Sydney CBD, has observed a marked rise in cases at his clinic attributed to tech neck and posture-related complaints. “We’re seeing a noticeable rise in patients coming in with neck, shoulder, and upper back pain linked directly to prolonged scrolling in bed,” he explained. “People prop themselves up with the wrong pillows, round their shoulders forward, and hold their phones at awkward angles. Over time, this causes significant strain to the neck, thoracic spine, and wrists.”

What is plantar fasciitis?

We asked physiotherapist Adam Monteith from Evoker Premium Physiotherapy Services in Sydney CBD to explain.

According to Monteith, plantar fasciitis is an irritation and inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a strong, fibrous, thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot.

Its role is to connect the base of your heel bone to the base of your toes, and it functions to support the arch of your foot.

Almost every year for the last 7 years I’ve been invited to a world class, peak performance unit housed in a world class facility with access to the very latest technology, data and expertise. The Houston Texans is an American football club based in Texas and forms part of the global sports phenomenon that is the NFL. Each club in the NFL is literally worth billions of dollars and the top players in the league earn millions of dollars per game.

It makes sense that the speed with which you seek and receive treatment for an injury will have a bearing on how quickly you’re back on track, in the weights room, on the court or field of play, doing what you love. But getting treatment quickly doesn’t help if it’s the wrong type of treatment for you and your injury. There’s a science to getting it right every time and as we know, good science is based on observation, experience and expertise.

Those of you that know me or have read my articles over the years, know that on a yearly basis, I head to Houston, Texas to learn and be inspired by cutting edge treatments and knowledge adopted by the NFL’s Houston Texans American football team. You may already realise that some of these all-world athletes command millions of dollars to execute athletic feats that many of us could only dream of achieving.

The NFL and Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy

In 2019, while looking for the next big thing in thinking or tech to help clients go above and beyond, I was intrigued by what’s known as Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) therapy – a remarkable practice that cuts off a significant percentage of the blood flow to affected limbs (50% to upper and 80% to lower) prior to, and during training.
