Providing physiotherapy in Maningrida for the past 3 years has taught us:

✨ Goals must be meaningful to the person — fishing, throwing a cast net, or walking on Country.

✨ Listening matters. Many of our clients speak three or four languages before English. Taking the time to listen — truly listen — is how we understand what’s important.

✨ Culture and relationships come first. Without trust, there’s no partnership, and without partnership, there’s no progress.

Here, one of our incredible clients — a lower limb amputee with a prosthetic — practices throwing skills with the goal of throwing a cast net. A great example of therapy grounded in real life, culture, and community.

Movement. Connection. Culture.

🦵 New leg press in action! 💪

Meet one of our incredible clients — proudly working through a tailored physio-led program right here in our clinic.

As an amputee, maintaining leg strength and symmetry is so important for balance, walking and everyday life. Today he’s using our new leg press to build strength, improve muscle control, and keep doing the things he loves.

With the guidance of Physio Tegan, we’re focusing on:
✅ Progressive resistance training
✅ Safe prosthetic limb loading
✅ Boosting confidence and independence

Rehab for amputees isn’t just about the limb — it’s about the whole person. Building strength, protecting joints, preventing falls, and keeping spirits high.

So proud of the effort going in every session. 💙
