Sasha recently attended the Australian Pain Society Conference 2026 in Adelaide.

Here is what she says about the trip:
Super happy with my poster presentation at the Australian Pain Society conference in Adelaide this week.

Thank you Katrina Liddiard Liddiard who co-authored, edited and guided me in the process of translating the clinical case to an academic standard.

Thanks also to the incredible team I work with at Next Wave Therapy

This poster shows the important & vital role of occupational therapy in treating chronic pain.

As a therapist who values the importance of person led care I'm surprised that my poster is one of very few with a real person pictured!

It's a case study of recovery from back pain within 6 months of OT involvement, after 23 years of other interventions.

Aside from this incredible outcome, the poster highlights an OT model of practice which puts personally identified occupational disruption at the center.

Feel free to reach out if you want to find out more. The full case presentation can be read on our website. See link above

Falls prevention is important if you are over 65 but needs to start in younger adult life.
April is falls prevention month - a reminder to check in with yourself, a family member or friend on how confident they are moving around their home and the community.

The biggest message is to undertake exercise that targets strength, balance and felxibility.

There are however many factors that contribute to falls so reviewing these is also just as important.

Our physiotherapists can assess and advise you on what to do.
You may join one of our targeted programs or get started with a home exercise program.

Our occupational therapists can assess your home, prescribe aids and equipment or teach you strategies to improve your confidence and safety.

Reshape you brain to reshape your pain!
Neuoroplasticity is the mechanism in which the brain and nervous system changes the way it signals pain.

The change can be structurally and functionally in the way the nerves communicate. Cool huh!?

First discovered in 1906 by Santiago Ramor y Cajul, the pioneer of modern neuroscience, neuroplasticity is the brains capacity to change in response to experience.

So what you do matters!!

The brain changes in response to
- how you move,
- how you think
- how you feel

That's why our ethos is to help people move, think and feel alive!

Our physio's and OT's provide pain care for all pain conditions using this approach.

It includes evidecnec based principles for
* movement based therapy - exercise rehab and functional movement
* meaningful rehab - personally tailored rehab doen with you not to you
* graded activity exposure
* goal setting aligned with values
* functional outcomes - actual results you can experience in your life
