A familiar face returns. 👋

From March 10, Ellie is back consulting one day a week.

Yes, she’s been busy raising a tiny human. No, she hasn’t forgotten how to run a no-nonsense rehab plan.

We’re proud to support strong clinicians who are also strong parents.

If you’ve missed her calm approach and no-drama rehab plans… she’s back.

One day a week. Same Ellie. 💛

Should kids focus on just one sport to get ahead?

It’s one of the most common questions we get from parents — and the science is crystal clear 👇

👉 Kids who play multiple sports are more likely to:
✅ Stay injury-free
✅ Avoid burnout
✅ Perform better long-term

Early sport specialisation (focusing on one sport year-round) actually increases injury risk and can limit development.

We’ve broken down the research — and what it means for your child — in our latest blog.

Game faces on for 2026! 🏉⚽🏐

With another big sporting season underway, we welcomed our student physiotherapists into the clinic for this year’s Sports Trainer Workshop — and they brought the energy. 🎓💪

From mastering strapping techniques and sharpening on-field injury assessments to hands-on massage skills, these future physios are officially game-day ready to support AFL, netball, rugby league, and soccer teams across our region.

Because confident clinicians aren’t born on the sidelines — they’re trained for it. And we’re proud to keep investing in the next generation of sports health professionals who’ll be keeping our community moving all season long. 🙌

“Sit up straight!” — how many times have we said that to our kids? 😅

Here’s the truth: posture isn’t about being perfect. It’s about movement.

Kids need variety — climbing, crawling, twisting, hanging, jumping. The more shapes they make, the healthier their muscles and joints.

We’ve put together a simple blog for parents on what actually matters (and what doesn’t) when it comes to posture.

💉 Should you get a cortisone injection for your shoulder?

It’s a question I get asked every single week.
The short answer? It depends.

Cortisone can be a game changer for frozen shoulder — but it’s not always the magic fix people hope for when it comes to bursitis or rotator cuff pain.

In this week’s video, I break down:
👉 When cortisone actually helps
👉 The mistakes people make after the injection
👉 How to make sure it’s part of a long-term fix — not just a short-term relief

If your shoulder’s been giving you grief, this video will help you understand what to do next.

Should you get a cortisone injection for your shoulder pain? 💉

We get this question all the time — and for good reason.

Cortisone can be super effective… but only if it’s used at the right time and for the right condition.

✅ Frozen shoulder? It can be a game changer.

⚠️ Bursitis or rotator cuff pain? It might help short term — but the real fix comes from rehab.

In this week’s blog, I unpack exactly when cortisone works, when it doesn’t, and how to make sure it actually helps you move better (not just feel better for a week).

“But their training hasn’t changed…”

Exactly.
But growth has.

Growth = higher energy demands.
No fuel = slower recovery and higher injury risk.

Pain isn’t always a training error.
Sometimes it’s a fuelling problem.

If rehab isn’t sticking, let’s look at the full picture.

Training hasn’t changed.
But pain has. ⚠️

During growth spurts, young athletes need more fuel just to keep up with what their body is doing internally — before training even starts.

If nutrition doesn’t match growth + sport, we often see:
• Knee pain
• Heel pain
• Shin pain
• Ongoing niggles that won’t settle

It’s not always overtraining.
Often, it’s under-fuelling 🍽️

As physios, we can cover basic nutrition considerations where growth, load, and recovery overlap — but we don’t replace sports nutrition experts. 👥
