People think injuries at the gym only happen when someone “goes too heavy,” but most mistakes are more subtle and sneak up on you over weeks or months. From a physiotherapy perspective, here are 7 mistakes worth avoiding.

VR headsets aren’t just for entertainment — they’re also being used to support rehabilitation. By creating immersive, interactive environments, VR can make physio sessions more engaging and tailored to individual goals.

Here are some ways we use it:
⚡ Balance & coordination: practicing on different “virtual surfaces” or responding to moving objects.
⚡ Gait retraining: walking through virtual settings to adjust stride, speed, and movement patterns.
⚡ Pain management: distraction from pain and graded exposure for chronic conditions.
⚡ Motivation: adding variety and fun to keep rehab consistent and meaningful.

VR doesn’t replace traditional physiotherapy — it enhances it. By blending technology with therapy, we can help people move with more confidence, recover with purpose, and stay motivated along the way.

Rehab that feels less clinical, and more connected to real life.

🩺 Think you might have reinjured yourself? Try this quick self-check:

1️⃣ Pain Check
Sharp, sudden, or worsening pain?
Swelling, redness, warmth?

2️⃣ Mobility Check
Full range of motion okay?
Weakness, instability, or restricted movement?

3️⃣ Symptom Pattern Check
Did it come on suddenly or during activity?
Tingling, numbness, or burning?

4️⃣ Safety Check
Could continuing activity make it worse?
Do you need professional review before moving again?

Tip: When in doubt, stop and get assessed. Early action prevents setbacks.

🚶‍♀️ Ever seen a LiteGait in action?
It looks a bit like a space-age walking frame — but it’s actually one of the most useful tools in physio rehab.

LiteGait is a body-weight support system that uses a comfy harness to take some of the load while you walk, either on a treadmill or across the room. The big win? You get to practice walking safely, without worrying about falls.

We often use it in rehab after stroke, spinal cord injury, surgery, or for neurological conditions. By giving you just the right amount of support, it helps retrain your movement, build strength, and boost confidence with every step.

Think of it as your safety net while you work on walking again.

🦴 Living with osteoarthritis? It’s one of the most common joint conditions, but it doesn’t mean giving up the activities you love.

Managing OA isn’t just about medication — a multifactorial approach can make a real difference. This includes:
✅ Staying active in a safe, guided way
✅ Managing weight to reduce joint load
✅ Learning about pain and how it works
✅ Eating well to support joint and overall health
✅ Building strength and flexibility
✅ Looking after your mental health

With the right strategies and support, you can take control and keep moving well. 💪

You don’t need fancy equipment or a long workout to keep your body moving well. Small, intentional actions throughout the day add up — and from a physio perspective, variety is the secret sauce. Mix in strength, mobility, balance, and posture with everyday habits, and you’ll build a body that’s not just fit, but resilient for the long run.

👀 Ever wondered what really happens in a standard physiotherapy consultation? Here’s a peek behind the scenes:

✅ Listening to your story: we start by asking about your pain, lifestyle, and goals so we understand the full picture.
✅ Assessment: checking movement, strength, posture, and any specific tests that help us pinpoint what’s going on.
✅ Treatment: this might include hands-on therapy, exercise prescription, or education about your condition.
✅ Your plan forward: you’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s happening and simple steps to keep you moving.

Physio isn’t just about fixing pain — it’s about empowering you with knowledge and tools to take control of your body. 💪

We are so proud of Marnie for bravely sharing her story at the hospital as a part of Brain Injury Awareness. 💙🧠

At just 16, Marnie’s life changed when she suffered a catastrophic brain injury. Her journey through intensive care, months of rehabilitation, and countless challenges has been nothing short of inspiring.

With courage, resilience, and the support of her family, friends, medical staff and her physio Sarah. Marnie has fought her way back — learning to walk, ride, and chase her dream of competing as a para-equestrian at the Paralympics. 🐎💙 (Sarah and Marnie used to compete in dressage together in the younger years).

By bravely speaking out, Marnie is helping raise awareness of brain injury and showing others that while the road may be tough, hope and determination can take you forward.
