🌸 Farewell Carly 🌸

A very heartfelt farewell to our much-loved Physio, Carly.

Carly joined Semaphore Road Physio straight after graduating in 2013, and has been a valued member of the SRP team ever since. An incredible 11 years of care, dedication, and connection with her clients and our team. In that time, Carly has grown into an exceptional clinician, a trusted colleague, and a Mum to three beautiful girls.

Carly is deeply loved by her clients for her compassionate care, clinical skill, and genuine warmth — and she’ll be so missed by our SRP crew and community.

We’re incredibly grateful for everything she’s brought to our clinic over the past decade and we wish her nothing but the very best in her next chapter.

Carly’s last day in the clinic is Thursday 3rd July, so make sure you book in with her before then!

🧘‍♀️ New Class Alert: Yoga & Breathwork with Emma Vandenbergh - Fascia, Flow & Freedom 🧘‍♀️

Join our amazing Emma for a deeply grounding Hatha-based combined Yoga and Breathwork class designed to undo and release tension, rehydrate your fascia, and reconnect you with your body’s natural rhythm.

Our fascia — the connective tissue that holds our posture, stores emotion, and shapes how we move — can become dry and restricted from stress, sun exposure, and unprocessed experiences. This class gently unravels those layers using movement, breath, and awareness to restore flow, ease, and freedom.

Expect a beautiful blend of science-backed insights and yogic wisdom to:�💫 Release stored tension and emotion�💫 Realign your postural muscles�💫 Support your nervous system�💫 Boost vitality and enhance the flow of prāṇa (life force energy)
With a mix of prāṇāyāma techniques, somatic movement, and yoga therapy elements, this class is your weekly reset for body, mind, and breath.

Together, Yoga + Breathwork are a powerful combo for nervous system regulation, emotional release, physical wellbeing, and cultivating a deeper connection to yourself.

🗓️ Tuesday 6pm-7pm at SRP - starting 17th June�
First 2 weeks of classes - sessions are free!
☝️ Week 1 - Tuesday 17th June
✌️ Week 2 - Tuesday 24th June
Limited spots available - book this class online now via our website, or give us a call on (08) 8242 7111 during our clinic open hours!

Let’s breathe, move, and feel good – together 🤍

Happy Easter from your favourite Physio crew! 🐣🌸

Wishing all our beautiful clients a safe, relaxing (and chocolate-fuelled 🍫) weekend with your nearest and dearest.

🐣 Egg-cellent Easter Physio Tip: Picking up Easter eggs = a functional squat!
Just remember:
✅ Bend your knees
✅ Engage your core
❌ Don’t pull a hammy racing a 5-year-old for the last bunny 😂🐰💪

We'll be back in the clinic on Tuesday after Easter Monday for a short & sweet week (just a reminder we're closed again Friday for ANZAC Day).

Enjoy the long weekend, and we’ll see you soon! 💕

⚪️⚪️ ANTENATAL AND POSTNATAL PELVIC FLOOR ASSESSMENTS ⚪️⚪️

What Are They, and What Are The Benefits?
An Antenatal (pre-childbirth) Pelvic Floor Assessment provides information on your baseline pelvic floor muscle function, including:
🤰🏽Strength of the pelvic floor muscles
🤰🏽Resting tone and activation of the pelvic floor
🤰🏽The ability of your pelvic floor muscles to relax during bearing down

This assessment allows us to address any concerns about your pelvic floor health and helps you develop greater body awareness. It also teaches you how to identify, contract, and relax your pelvic floor muscles. Becoming familiar with these movements can support both childbirth and postnatal recovery.

Postnatal (post childbirth) Pelvic Floor Assessments are typically performed around 6 weeks after birth - at least 1 week after post-delivery bleeding (also known as Lochia) has stopped.

A Postnatal Assessment may include:
🤱Pelvic floor muscle strength and function
🤱Abdominal muscle function
🤱Recovery of caesarean or episiotomy scars
🤱Bladder and bowel function
🤱Sexual health concerns

This assessment is used to offer guidance on Postnatal recovery, returning to exercise, and recommendations for pelvic floor recovery based on your specific birth experience. It is also a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have, or gain clarity on anything you are unsure about.

Sometimes women may feel embarrassed about having Pelvic Assessments undertaken. We want to assure you that you are in very safe hands with our caring and compassionate Women’s Health Physiotherapist, Carly, who has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field. Carly also has been through the pregnancy and childbirth processes herself, and can provide valuable support and advice to you based on her clinical experience, further research & learnings, and her own personal experience.

You can book in for your Antenatal and Postnatal Assessments by calling us on 08 8242 7111; or you can book conveniently via our online booking system:

❕ MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS!! ❕

This time, another sad one 😢

Our Physiotherapist - Nicole - is unfortunately leaving us. We thank Nicole for all her hard work, and the positive energy that she has brought to SRP over the last year that she has been with us.

We wish her all the very best in her bright future – both personally, and professionally. Her last day at SRP is Friday 24th January - so make sure you book in and visit her while she is still here!

📣 ATTENTION: ANNOUNCEMENT FOR OUR INCREDIBLE SRP COMMUNITY 📣

For those who haven’t heard already, and as a follow on from our previous post at the end of 2024 sharing our sad news that Kirsty Gilbert has left the SRP team - Semaphore Road Physio has re-opened in 2025 under new ownership.

After leaving for a year and half to work away in her hometown of Port Lincoln, one of our previous Physiotherapists - Montanna – has returned to SRP at the end of 2024, and has taken over the reigns from Kirsty. We want to congratulate Kirsty on a hugely successful 25 years of Semaphore Road Physio, and we wish her & her family all the very best in their future endeavours. What a remarkable career she has had, and we commend her on her efforts and achievements. A few pics down memory lane included in this post to share our time together!

We also want to thank all of our amazing clientele who have continued their loyalty and embraced the change through handover of management. SRP wouldn’t be what it is without you all, and we appreciate your ongoing support. Be rest assured – we still have all our Physiotherapists on board (minus one… soon to be announced…), AND we still have the one and only Louise Glennon continuing on her great Remedial Massages.

We look forward to a great 2025 together at Semaphore Road Physio, and are excited to work with you all in future!

- Montanna & the SRP Team 💙🤍

19/01/2025
