It's that time of year again. You promise yourself you'll hit that new PB or get to the gym five days a week, only for work and family life to get in the way by February. Sound familiar?

The problem isn't your motivation; it's the method. Big, flashy goals often don't fit into a busy schedule.

We've put together a practical guide to setting New Year's resolutions that actually stick, specifically for athletes juggling work, family, and training. Learn how to focus on process, avoid common injury traps, and build habits that last beyond January.

We know how it goes. You finally clock off for the year, ready to relax or hit the trails for that long run you've been planning, and suddenly—ouch.
Whether it’s a stiff back from hanging Christmas lights or a hamstring ni**le during backyard cricket, pain doesn't check the calendar before it strikes. It doesn't take a holiday.
That’s why at Parkside Sports Physiotherapy, neither do we.
We are staying OPEN throughout the holiday season (closing only on public holidays) to make sure you can enjoy your break without being sidelined. We want to help you balance family time with staying active, so you can start the New Year strong, not in rehab.
Don't wait until January to fix what hurts now. Read more about our holiday hours and why maintenance matters over the break on our latest blog post.

You pay a lot for your Health Insurance, don't you?
If you have a problem that needs some Physio, starting that process this month means you can make the most of the benefits your Insurer will pay. It's a use it or lose it thing. Only 15 working days left this year.

By the way, if you're not happy with the rebates your fund pays (some of them are very poor), December might be a good time to shop around for a new fund too!

Therapy Supports cost less than 10% of the NDIS budget. Amazingly, the Federal Government has decided to cut costs by reducing the fees of highly qualified Physiotherapists. The fees have been frozen for 5 years and now lag behind market rates, meaning most practices are struggling financially to support NDIS clients. Dropping the rate by $10/hour is an absolute slap in the face when there is so much waste and mismanagement elsewhere in the NDIS.

The Australian Physiotherapy Association is calling on the federal government to reverse the reduction in National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) pricing limits for physiotherapy and travel funding that threaten the sustainability of physiotherapy services and the choice and control of NDIS participants.

From 1 July 2025, the revised NDIS pricing limits will make it financially unsustainable for many physiotherapists to deliver the high-quality, individualised care required to manage complex conditions for some of our most vulnerable people.

This comes on the back of a five-year NDIS pricing limits freeze that has not kept pace with inflation and the rising costs of providing therapy supports to people living with disability.

Sign this petition to let the government know this is just not good enough: https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-disability-support-stop-the-ndis-cuts?recruiter=1376314405&recruited_by_id=d2565d30-480f-11f0-af34-af4c96eea4ba&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=petition_dashboard_share_modal&utm_medium=copylink
