Luke broke character for this one… but honestly, it needed to be said.
Hands-on work opens the window, strength keeps it open.
If your whole plan ends at the treatment table, you’re not creating change, you’re creating dependency.
Before we blame clients for “not doing their exercises,” we need to be real with ourselves:
Did we teach it properly?
Did we choose the right movements?
Or are we avoiding exercise because it feels uncomfortable for us?
This profession grows when we grow.
Stepping outside your comfort zone is part of being a better therapist, for your clients and for yourself.
Treat the tissue, strengthen the tissue, teach the tissue.
Let’s raise the standard together.

Not everyone gets needles.
Today’s session was all hands, clinical reasoning, and a bit of comedy.
This client is covered in tattoos but still terrified of needling, so we kept it simple with soft tissue work to the shoulder and some scapular joint mobilisation.
Different tools for different people, and the goal is always the same, get the them moving pain free.

Our final Movember Chats reel is here, and Russ came in swinging with full energy. Exactly what we needed to wrap this series up.
Plenty of laughs, plenty of honesty, and a reminder that talking about mental health does not have to be awkward. Sometimes it starts with a smile and a good mate.
Huge thank you to everyone who jumped in, played along, and helped us keep the message real this month.

When bunion pain or toe stiffness builds up, it’s often more than just the joint, the intermetatarsal spaces and surrounding intrinsic foot muscles can become tight and fibrotic.
By needling between the tarsal joints, we can influence the capsule, improve local blood flow, and help decompress overloaded soft tissue around the MTP joints.
It’s precise work, and when done correctly, can make a real difference for people dealing with chronic forefoot pain or early-stage arthritis.

At Avia Performance, this is what treatment looks like.
A carpenter/footy player came in with ongoing lower back pain, but we know pain rarely starts or ends where you feel it.
We assessed the chain from the hip flexors and glutes through to the hamstrings and lumbar region, using targeted soft tissue work and needling to restore balance and control.
Our goal isn’t just to ease pain for a few days, it’s to solve the underlying issue through hands-on treatment and tailored exercise prescription that keeps you moving well long after the session.
This is the level of clinical reasoning and precision we bring to every client.

This November we’re growing mo’s and starting convos.
Luke will be walking around Avia asking the big questions like…
-What boosts your mood?
-Who checks in when you’re quiet?
-Coffee, gym or a good chat?
We’re all about movement, but this month we’re also moving the needle on mental health.
(Also featuring Luke's questionable editing skills and even worse camera angles 😂)

Education has always been at the heart of what we do and 2025 has been a huge year for the education pillar at Avia Performance.

1️⃣ We were proud to publish “Rethinking Overhead Pressing: Identifying and Addressing Hidden Movement Limitations” in the Winter edition of the Massage & Myotherapy Australia Journal, continuing our mission to challenge conventional thinking and refine movement-based rehab.

2️⃣ We were invited to speak at the AMT 2025 Online Conference, where we shared practical frameworks for restoring confident, pain-free overhead movement.

3️⃣ We also worked with the Massage Association of Australia (MAA) to deliver a two-part presentation, one online and one in-person in Parramatta. It was fantastic to connect face-to-face and receive such positive feedback from attendees.

Each of these milestones reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing clinical reasoning, education, and professional development across the industry.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s engaged with and supported our work this year. We’re excited to take an even bigger step forward in 2026 as we continue to grow our education stream.

After 9 years, it was time to give Luke's room a well-deserved deserved facelift. What do you think, does he have what it takes to be on ? 👷‍♂️
Massive thanks to and Peter from .au for absolutely nailing the feature wall. That 36% Italian blood in Hass really came through, the Venetian plaster looks incredible. Appreciate you legends for supplying the paint. 🇮🇹
Shoutout to .nadalin the Flat Pack King, for making the IKEA run, getting everything to Avia, and somehow building it all without losing his mind ( or and screws). Thank God for DeWalt tools 😎
To out in-house interior designer , who turned lukes "functional" ideas into an actual design plan. She’s still campaigning for a plant.... watch this space 🪴
Big thanks to for upgrading the lighting and saving Luke from electrocuting himself or burning the place down 🔥
And thank you to for supplying the embossed sticker, the perfect finishing touch 👌
Special mention to out little helpers, who jumped in to help with painting, cleaning and "supervising" the whole process. You earned those icecreams 🍦

pulled a strong 230kg deadlift double with ease. He’s competing this December at and training harder than ever.
dowsett is gearing up for her first powerlifting competition in December and smashed a 135kg squat double this week, a huge PB! Can’t wait to see her become a force to be reckoned with.

leading by example with a 132.5kg bench double. As one of our coaches at , Brandon’s not only levelling up his coaching, but also making big strides in his own training. He’ll be making a comeback to the platform next year in the 74kg weight class.

hit a smooth 135kg bench single this week as he continues to fine-tune his technique. It hasn’t been the easiest year for Alex with injuries and moving house, but he’s still showing up and getting it done.

has been an absolute weapon and a pleasure to coach. Kristy hit her first-ever 50kg bench last week, a huge milestone! She’s now taking the plunge and signing up for her first powerlifting comp this December at !

hit her first 100kg squat and it looked easy. Kimmy started with us rehabbing her lower back after surgery in December last year and has gone from strength to strength ever since. After taking part in a novice powerlifting comp, she’s now stepping up to a sanctioned competition for the first time this December!

What a privilege as always to coach such an amazing team of lifters. 💪
