Today is World Physiotherapy Day! This year the theme is focusing on Arthritis. There are many different types of arthritis including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid and Spondyloarthritis. Physiotherapy plays an important role in the prevention and management of Arthritis including joint mobilisation, massage, dry needling and acupuncture and exercise therapy.
Book a session today to speak with one of our physiotherapists about your joint health!

So apparently Peter has been a qualified Acupuncturist for 20 years today!
He's picked up some extra chins and cheeks, along with a physio degree and a couple of kids, and yet, with all these things.... he's still terrible at golf!

February is here, and pre-season is underway. Get on top of those minor aches and pains by coming in to see one of our physios, Johanna or Peter, to get you into the best physical condition ahead of the season starting!
Physiotherapy is a great way of identifying possible weaknesses or flexibility issues which can limit your performance on the field or leave you vulnerable to injury.
give us a call or make a booking online.

A Pinch of Prevention is now creating 90%less plastic waste when using acupuncture needles. The top two items contain 10 needles all single wrapped with guide tube. The bottom item houses 10 needles with 1 guide tube.
Same number of needles, same amount of hygiene, but 90% less plastic going into the rubbish.
Let's all do what we can, when we can. Because why not?
Enjoy your weekend!

Good evening everyone!

Hello all!
Just letting everyone know we are on annual leave until Saturday, enjoying some responsible sun and bluebottle-free sand with the family.
See you Saturday ready and refreshed (but probably still pasty......)!

A safe and merry Christmas to everyone!
Hopefully everyone stays out of mischief, but in case you do happen to have a mishap whilst taking-that-catch-on-the-beach-while-not spilling-your-drink-and-hurt-your-shoulder moment.... APOP will be open by appointment Friday 28th and Saturday 29th just in case!
But seriously, don't drink and sport!

Good news everyone! Starting mid January, A Pinch of Prevention will be open Saturday mornings for Physiotherapy and Acupuncture treatments (by appointment as usual) every week!
We look forward to being more available to assist with your health needs.
Enjoy the festive season!

Good morning!
A convenient step somewhere at home means you can hold your grumbling newborn, while still stretching your calves and hamstrings. Multitasking your rehab/ prehab!

But seriously kid, go to sleep!

A big thanks to Liam, Jamie and Kiriana from The Results Room for their fitness challenge charity event to help support the local koala population.
Although i only participated in one challenge, I'm pretty sure i counted my situps wrong, and then nearly threw up in the carpark!
Good day all round!
