Farewell Sally! 🥺
Generations of Physio Alive patients will know this gorgeous face (that hasn’t aged a day!) Sally has graced our desk for an incredible 23 years!! 😱

What a moment to pause and reflect!

Sal has seen us transition from a paper diary and curtained rooms in the old Perfect Fit gym, (who here remembers those days?? …Lauren was a physio student and Brea was a new grad!)… into our rooms at Field St, through renovations and building of our gym, as we opened our Aldinga rooms, through 3 directorship changes, through a multitude of physios, through the transition to electronic diaries and case notes, through the nightmare that was COVID for health practices, through our devastating IT crash and rebuild with a brand new system, marriages, breakups and babies, (SO many babies!) many of whom are now all grown up, over her long tenure.

It really isn’t going to be the same around here. Sally, you will be missed and we wish you all the very best for your new endeavours 🤗

Masters student pelvic health consultations available in September for women and men at Physio Alive!

- Do you have a pelvic health concern?
(ie leaking of urine or faeces, urgency, frequency, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, painful in*******se, bowel troubles, recent vaginal or caesarean delivery, recent or pending gynae or prostate surgery to name a few)

- Are you available for 1, or ideally 2 consultations at McLaren Vale on Monday 2nd September /Tuesday 3rd September, and Monday 16th September /Tuesday 17th September?

- Perhaps the cost of pelvic health consultations has been a major barrier for accessing treatment? (We are so delighted to offer this reduced fee service!)

- Would you like an extremely thorough assessment and treatment plan for your issue/s and at the same time contribute to the learning of the (much needed!) next generation of pelvic health physios?

Now is the time to reach out to us for some help!

During the aforementioned dates, we have consults available with Chelsea, a fully qualified physiotherapist who is undertaking the final clinical placement for her Masters degree in Pelvic health from Curtin Uni. Lauren Locke is working as a supervisor and will be present during the consults, and will be available to take over your ongoing care once the placement is finished.

The cost of these student sessions is a vastly reduced $85, (initial consults with Lauren are usually $210) with consults between 60-90 mins. If you have a Medicare Care Plan or if you have private health insurance there would be a small gap.

We only have a handful of spots on offer so don't delay if you would like an appointment!
Ph 8323 8058 to book.
