Today is R U OK? Day 💛
It’s a reminder that a simple question “Are you OK?” can start a life-changing conversation. Mental health and physical health are deeply connected. When we’re not coping mentally, it can show up in our bodies… and when we’re in pain, it can take a toll emotionally too.
As physiotherapists, we often hear the stories behind the injuries. We know that what hurts in the body can sometimes run deeper.
So today, take a moment to check in - with your loved ones, your colleagues, and yourself. And if someone isn’t OK, just listen. You don’t have to fix it. Just being there matters.

Happy World Physical Therapy Day! a.k.a ‘World Physio Day’! 🌍🦵💪
Every year on 8th September, we celebrate the vital role that physiotherapists, also known as physical therapists, play in helping people move better, feel stronger, and recover from injury.
Depending on where you are in the world, the profession might be called physiotherapy or physical therapy, but the goal is the same: to restore movement, reduce pain, and support lifelong health and function.
Here’s to all the physios and physical therapists making a difference one step, stretch and squat at a time.
Been helped by a physio? Leave a 💙 in the comments. Or call Physio Elements on 9729 7777 if you’re ready to move better, too!

Knee pain cramping your style? 🦵😩
Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp twinge, or that “why is it clicking like that?” moment, knee pain is one of the most common complaints we see, and it doesn’t just affect runners or athletes.
Pain can come from irritated joints, overloaded tendons, muscle imbalances, or old injuries that never quite healed. The good news? Physiotherapy helps identify what’s really going on and gets you moving again with less pain and more confidence.
We don’t just treat the knee. We look at how your hips, feet, posture and habits all play a role.
Call us on 9729 7777 if your knees need a bit of TLC!

📊 Stat of the Month
More than 1 in 3 people worldwide are living with a neurological condition 🧠, making these the leading cause of illness and disability globally. That’s over 3 billion people as of 2021.
From stroke and Parkinson’s to multiple sclerosis and peripheral neuropathy, neurological conditions can affect strength, balance, muscle tone, posture and coordination. And while we can’t treat the neurological condition itself, our physiotherapists are here to help with those affects.
Physiotherapy may help by improving walking patterns (gait), reducing spasticity, enhancing mobility, and supporting long-term independence.
Call us on 9729 7777 to book an appointment with our physiotherapists and give your brain and body the boost they deserve.

Did You Know? 🤔
💓 Your heart works continuously without fatigue. It’s a muscle. Specifically, a cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle cells are self-exciting—they contract independently without needing nerve signals, maintaining the heart’s rhythm automatically.
When things go wrong the physiotherapists at Physio Elements are here to help. We support people recovering from heart conditions such as heart attacks, heart failure, angioplasty, and those managing high blood pressure or chronic fatigue.
Through safe, targeted exercise and movement, physiotherapy aims to improve circulation, restore strength, and enhance overall cardiovascular health.
Call us on 9729 7777 to book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists and support your heart’s health ❤️.

🤲 Osteoarthritis of the Thumb
Is your thumb staging a protest every time you text, type, or tie your shoes? Osteoarthritis at the base of the thumb can cause pain, stiffness, and make those simple tasks surprisingly tricky.
Common symptoms include aching, swelling, and a weakened grip — which means your phone, keyboard, or knitting needles might start feeling like tiny adversaries.
Physiotherapy works to ease the pain, improve joint movement, and strengthen the muscles around the thumb so you can get back to your daily (and not-so-daily) activities like twisting tap tops or trimming topiary.
If your thumb’s giving you grief, call us on 9729 7777 to book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists.

Visual Disturbance with Headache? You're Not Imagining It.
Headaches that affect your vision can be unsettling — but they’re often part of a recognised group of conditions. Figuring out what kind of headache you have is helpful. Here's how to start narrowing it down:
🔸 Migraine with aura:
Visual changes (flashing lights, zig-zags, blind spots) that last 10–60 minutes, often followed by throbbing pain, nausea, and light sensitivity.
🔸 Ocular migraine:
Vision loss or disturbance in just one eye, usually lasting under an hour, sometimes with no headache. Rare, and worth checking with an eye specialist or neurologist.
🔸 Hemiplegic migraine:
Aura plus one-sided weakness, difficulty speaking, or numbness — often mistaken for stroke. Needs urgent medical attention and diagnosis.
🔸 Vestibular migraine:
You may feel dizzy, unsteady, or lightheaded, with or without a headache. Motion and visual patterns can make symptoms worse.
🔸 Other warning signs:
If your headache is sudden and severe, or visual changes are persistent or affect both eyes, seek immediate medical help.
If your headaches seem linked to muscle tension, posture, or neck stiffness, our physiotherapists may be able to help manage symptoms and reduce frequency.

📚 Word of the Day 🦴: Fibula
From the Latin fibula, meaning clasp or brooch — because the fibula ‘clasps’ the larger tibia, like a fastening pin.
The fibula is the slender outer bone of your lower leg. While it doesn’t bear much weight, it plays an important role in ankle stability and muscle attachment — and it’s often overlooked until something goes wrong.
If you’re dealing with balance problems, your fibula might be involved — but so might joint stiffness, poor proprioception, or weakness in the hips, feet, or core.
Our physiotherapist will assess the whole picture and tailor a plan to help you move more confidently.

🦶 Metatarsal Stress Fracture
A metatarsal stress fracture is a small crack in one of the long bones of your foot, often caused by repetitive stress or overuse. Common in runners, dancers, and active individuals, it typically develops gradually and can be painful during weight-bearing activities.
Symptoms include tenderness, swelling, and pain along the top or side of the foot, which worsens with activity and improves with rest.
Physiotherapy can support recovery by guiding safe rest, managing pain and swelling, improving foot mechanics, and prescribing gradual strengthening exercises to prevent recurrence.
If you’re experiencing persistent foot pain, call us on 9729 7777 to book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists to get that spring back in your step.

🔧 August is Tradies Health Month
From lifting and climbing to kneeling and crawling — tradies put their bodies through a lot. It’s no surprise that tradies account for a high proportion of serious workplace injuries in Australia, especially involving the back, shoulders, knees, and wrists.
Physiotherapy plays an important role in injury prevention and recovery. Whether you’re dealing with persistent aches, an old injury that never healed properly, or just want to stay fit for work, we’re here to help.
Our physios aim to improve joint mobility, strengthen key muscle groups, and support better movement — so you can keep doing what you do best, without your body paying the price.
Call Physio Elements 9729 7777 to book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists this Tradies Health Month.
