We’re back at Great Lakes Physio and ready to get you moving again!

If your body’s been feeling stiff, sore or a bit off after time away, you’re not alone. Whether it’s an old injury that’s flared up, something new that’s been niggling, or you just don’t feel like you’re moving as well as you should, now’s a good time to address it.

Our focus is on helping you move with more confidence, strength and ease – not just settling symptoms, but understanding what your body needs to keep moving long term.

Appointments are now available and booking is open. Book online or get in touch with the clinic to secure a spot 👇🏼

International Day of People with Disability.

Today we recognise the strength, diversity and lived experiences of people with disability in our community.

At our clinics, we’re committed to making physiotherapy accessible, supportive and genuinely inclusive. Whether it’s adapting programs, adjusting communication, or creating a space where everyone feels comfortable, our team focuses on meeting each person where they’re at.

A reminder that every body moves differently, and every person deserves care that respects their goals, challenges and wins.

If you or someone you care about needs help getting moving, rebuilding confidence or managing daily aches and pains, our experienced physios are here for it.

Physio- It’s not all exercises and stretches.

Sometimes it’s about helping someone feel like themselves again- confident, capable, and able to do the things they love without pain holding them back.

Whether that’s walking on the beach, gardening, swimming, or keeping up with the grandkids, our goal is always the same- to get you moving comfortably and confidently again.

Ready to get back to doing what YOU love? Book your appointment today 👇🏼

Spring’s in full swing - and so are those outdoor plans! ☀️

If you’ve jumped back into walking, running, gardening or weekend sport after a quieter winter, don’t forget to give your body time to adjust.

✅ Start small and build gradually
✅ Warm up before and stretch after activity
✅ Listen to any ni**les that hang around longer than a few days

A little maintenance now can save you from bigger setbacks later.
If something’s feeling tight, sore, or just not quite right, our physios can help you get back on track safely.

October is Mental Health Month 🧘‍♀️

Here in Australia, October is all about raising awareness, starting conversations, and supporting positive mental health.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to care for your mind is to care for your body. Regular movement and massage can both make a big difference in managing stress, boosting mood, and improving sleep quality.

✅ Movement helps release endorphins, supports healthy brain function, and reduces anxiety and fatigue. Whether it’s a walk, swim, Pilates class or your physio exercises – every bit counts.

💆‍♀️ Massage helps ease muscle tension, lowers cortisol levels (your stress hormone), and promotes relaxation, helping your nervous system reset.

Taking care of your physical wellbeing is one of the best ways to support your mental wellbeing.

This Mental Health Month, make time for movement, recovery and connection — your body and mind will thank you!

🌼 Spring is the perfect time to get moving outdoors!

There’s no better place to stretch your legs than around beautiful Wallis Lake, the Forster-Tuncurry breakwall, or the coastal walk trails. Walking is one of the simplest ways to boost fitness, clear your mind, and soak up that fresh spring sunshine.

But if you’ve had a bit of a winter break from activity, those longer walks can sometimes stir up lower limb ni**les - things like foot pain, shin splints, calf tightness, knee discomfort or hip ache.

If you’re feeling any of these as you get back into your walking routine, it’s a good idea to have it checked early. Our physios can assess what’s behind it (from gait mechanics to footwear and muscle strength) and help you stay pain-free on the paths this spring.

Start slow, enjoy the views, and keep your legs happy!
Book online or call the clinic to get your walking program or ni**le checked before it becomes a setback.
