Did you know, you need to be putting at least 4 times your body weight through your bones in order to stimulate bone growth!

Exercises such as heel drops, depth drops and drop jumps stimulate bone cells to lay down more bone and become stronger. These exercises offer just a few ways to get the loading required through your bones without being as physically demanding as other options such as skipping!

We know that our bones respond to stress and without constant impact, they weaken! After the age of 40 less bone is replaced which can lead to reduced bone density, these exercises are a great way to tackle this and can easily be added into your routine.

If you have any concerns about whether these are something you should do given your health status, please consult your healthcare provider before you start.

Last week, we celebrated a big milestone with our practice manager Andrea Lutt, who notched up 10 years at Good Country Physiotherapy.

Andrea started work at a time when key staff went on maternity leave. Initially working on the front desk at our Bordertown clinic, she progressed to practice manager a couple of years later and hasn’t looked back. With her finger on the pulse of all aspects of our growing business and as a key member of our business management team, Andrea has contributed so much over the last ten years.

We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication to making GCP a better business and a great place to work.

Thank you Andrea, for everything. 🙏 🤩

Finishing a university degree in Physiotherapy is a big achievement.

Finishing a university degree in Physiotherapy as a mature age student with a family is an even bigger achievement.

Finishing a university degree in Physiotherapy as a mature age student with a family living in Mt Gambier is an off the charts achievement!

So proud of our new grad physiotherapist Jason Bannister, who attended his graduation ceremony earlier this month to receive the official piece of paper that marks the end of his undergraduate studies. An enormous achievement in anybody’s language! Well done. 👏

You might recognise Jason from his time doing placements with us in Naracoorte and Bordertown. He is now consulting from Naracoorte on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. With a background as a personal trainer, he has extensive experience to bring to his new career and he looks forward to helping our community move better.
