Attention, athletes, are you looking for a new high-powered, long-stroke massage therapy gun? Give me a call.

This gun is one of the best on the market, with long stroke length, high-powered gears, 4 heads, and long battery life.

I have 2 of these available (ideal Christmas present).

I have only 1 Maxi Fascial Massage Gun left.
I have ordered mini massage guns, due in next year.

I can't believe the difference a good massage gun makes to managing fascia and muscle tightness.

I have 3 different massage tools available to address various conditions and tolerances, and manage pain and stiffness.
Call in Thursday for a demo.

As many already know, I don't subscribe to an expensive exercise software platform. Yes, there are many excellent, valid exercises available.

I see many people who cannot do them.

Why?

My experience suggests that the starting point for people has been missed, and applying clinical reasoning to the whole person is lacking.

Many of my stick-drawn exercises serve as starting points for further progress.

My standing posture exercises are ones we all need.
Watch the video and try it. It works!

If you would like more on clinical reasoning and the application of exercises, you can book an appointment.

I have been combining my red and infrared light pad with my long handle flexible massage gun, releasing my legs muscles and my back while sitting in my chair.

The sneeze session is back.
A sneeze expels snot from our nose at 320km/h, spraying it up to 5m.
Acupuncture is a valid treatment, but it does involve needles going into your face, though. The added bonus is a cosmetic effect.

Cosmetic acupuncture is very popular, combined with red light therapy.

A course of acupuncture for hayfever entails 4-6 sessions

As a new Physio in a tourist town, I saw many people from all over Australia who have had a lot of physiotherapy. I can say that many people are not happy with a treatment that entails "just exercises".

A whole-body clinical assessment, appropriate treatment, and education, plus or minus manual therapy and advice, is what seems to be lacking in a Physiotherapy session.

This was the main criticism I heard from travellers I saw while in Broome. And these are people traveling all over Australia.

Pain can be local, and it can be referred.

Chronic pain may be due to the effect of protective movement patterns and then become a new cause. This is a common presentation.

Exercises are essential, but so is a correct clinical assessment of an old injury.
Clinical reasoning is a skill that comes with experience.
We older Physios still have value.

I have been asked to return to Broome next year because I have value.

Doing a locum in another state allowed me to see a variety of patients, young and old, acute and chronic.

Being able to do full-body biomechanical assessments on people with long-term chronic work and sporting injuries was exciting and very fulfilling.

Broome has a huge number of travellers passing through. It was exciting to meet new people, and introducing RLT to their daily management was met with enthusiasm and gratitude.

Back to work here now and looking forward to seeing everyone again.

25 degrees here in Broome.
My last day.
Home late tomorrow night.
It has been a great working holiday.

20/08/2025

10 days till I am back home in Clare.

Just kidding, it will be 13 days.
I am not missing the cold!

25deg here in Broome. I'm loving the full-time work. It is quite different from my work in Clare. Sports injuries, workcover, nursing home, and pre-employment assessments for the mine companies. We are off to the beach tonight for a family BBQ.

Its tough NOT!
