to some valuable professional development late last year 👣

One of our physiotherapists, Elliott, was grateful for the opportunity to attend a specialised microprocessor knee course with Ottobock in November. The session explored advanced physiotherapy approaches for people with lower limb amputations, with a strong focus on maximising functional outcomes using a range of microprocessor prosthetic knees.

Continuing to build our knowledge and skills means we can bring the latest, evidence-informed care into the clinic as we head into 2026.

A big thank you to Ottobock for having us.

If you’re a prosthetic user, our team is here to support you in improving function, confidence, and everyday independence — and helping you work towards what matters most to you.

A few weeks ago—just before our Christmas shutdown—we were grateful to welcome Tom Chapman, Para Sport and Classification Advisor (NSWIS/ACTAS) from Paralympics Australia, to Momentum Physio + Rehab Canberra.

Tom shared valuable insights into the role of allied health in Para sport, sparking great discussion around collaboration, athlete pathways and how physiotherapy can support performance, participation and long-term wellbeing.

A big thank you to Tom for taking the time to visit, share his expertise and connect with our team. We appreciate the opportunity to learn, reflect and continue strengthening our support for Para athletes within our community.👏

🎉 Happy New Year 🎉

We’re back in the clinic for 2026 — and yes, the Christmas decorations have officially been packed away 🎄✔️

After some lighthearted office debate (and a quick check on Twelfth Night traditions), we decided not to test our luck 😉

Traditionally, decorations come down on Twelfth Night (January 5) or Epiphany (January 6), marking the official end of the festive season — and apparently leaving them up past this date is considered bad luck by some.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you back and supporting your physio, rehab and movement goals in the year ahead. Appointments are now open if you’re planning your care for the coming weeks.

Here’s to a healthy, positive 2026 💙

Today is International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD). This year’s theme is: Fostering disability inclusive society for advancing social progress, which means we all need to work together to make society fairer and respect the rights of people with disability.

MS Plus supports IDPwD everyday through its purpose of breaking down barriers and working alongside people with disabilities to achieve their goals.

This IDPwD ask yourself, what can you do to:
· Take away barriers that stop people with disability from joining in.
· Make sure people with disability have the same chances as others.
· Have health care and good education that everyone can use.
· Include people with disability in all parts of life.

The moment you’ve all been waiting for… the pics of the glorious mo’s have arrived! 😄🥸

The Momentum team have officially wrapped up Movember — and our Directors have been proudly sporting these fine specimens all month to help spark conversations and raise funds for men’s health.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the cause, donated, shared our posts, or simply had a laugh along the way. Every bit of awareness makes a difference.

The campaign may be finished, but donations are still open if you’d like to contribute to this important cause.

👏 Well done team — and farewell to the mo’s… until next year!

Wrapping Up MOVE in November & Movember! 🎉

As we step into December, the Momentum & NeuroStudio team is looking back proudly on a massive month of movement, connection, and raising awareness for men’s mental health through Movember.

Throughout November, our team committed to moving with purpose — supporting better physical and mental wellbeing for our community. Here’s what we achieved:

😁💪Move Goal Completed!
Our team set a target of 300km for the month and finished with an incredible 344km combined! A huge effort from everyone involved.
💥 Ultimate Frisbee
A fast, fun start to the challenge with plenty of teamwork (and a few dramatic dives 😅).
🏆 Outcome Measures Tournament
A competitive and hilarious session putting our agility, balance and reaction times to the test!
🥊 Boxing
Energy high, gloves on, and an awesome session focused on strength, stress relief, and skill-building.

While the month has wrapped, Movember donations are still open. If you'd like to support men’s mental health, su***de prevention, and cancer research, you can contribute with the link below or scan our QR code in the images

Thank you to everyone who followed along, supported the challenge, and helped spread the message that moving your body supports your mind. Although November has ended, looking after our wellbeing is a year-round commitment — and we’re always here for our community.

And don't worry glorious Mo pics to come!! 🥸 Watch this space...

Lest we forget.

Happy Halloween from the Momentum team! 👻🎃
Thought we would have a bit of fun combining our two Halloween loves - Thriller and Ghostbusters!
Whether you’re chasing little monsters around the neighbourhood tonight or enjoying a quiet evening at home, don’t forget to look after your body.

🎒 Carrying treat bags?
🧙‍♀️ Bending down to help costumes and face paint?
🍭 Reaching into lolly bowls a little too often? 😉

A few reminders for tonight:
✅ Keep your shoulders relaxed (no hunching!)
✅ Take short stretch breaks
✅ Stay hydrated (not just with spooky punch 💧)

Have a safe and fun Halloween — and if your body feels a little haunted tomorrow, we’re here to help you bounce back! 💪✨

Whether it’s recovering from injury, building strength, or rediscovering confidence in movement, we’re here to help you keep moving forward.
