🛏️ What if one pillow could fit every sleeper?

The Complete Sleeprrr Orthopaedic Pillow is designed to be the most adjustable pillow on the market — and it’s why our physios recommend it for anyone struggling with:
✔️ Neck pain
✔️ Headaches
✔️ Jaw tension or clenching
✔️ Poor-quality sleep

Here’s why it’s different:
✨ Memory foam that supports your neck’s natural curve
✨ Built-in high + low contours for side or back sleepers
✨ Removable foam inserts to customise height
✨ Adjustable “noodles” so you can fine-tune softness where you need it most

💡 Instead of wasting money on a cupboard full of pillows that never feel quite right, this one adjusts to fit you.

💆‍♀️ Wake up refreshed and pain-free.

🚴 24forMND Update 🚴‍♀️
Well they’re over 1/3 of the way through and some are feeling better than others!
Thanks to our student helpers who worked tirelessly over the past few hours trying to loosen those muscles to keep the riders going on their quest to ride for 24 hours at the Nundah Criterion Track to raise funds for who support Qlders and their families during their journey with MND.
This year 3 riders are going solo and riding the WHOLE 24 Hours

Or if you’re a Brisbane local why not drop down and support the riders in person. They’ll be riding all the way through to 10am Sunday
Our team will be back again tomorrow morning from 8am to keep them on the track and make sure they achieve their goal!

🚴‍♂️ 24 hours. Non-stop. For MND. 💙

This weekend, riders will push their limits at the 24forMND bike ride at Nundah Criterion Track — all to raise money and awareness for who support Queenslanders living with Motor Neurone Disease and their families.

The Activate Physiotherapy team will be there in their corner 👊 providing recovery treatments and massage to keep them moving through the toughest 24 hours on the bike.

Every pedal stroke makes a difference. Every rider is helping support people and families affected by MND.

❌ “Just rest and you’ll be fine.”
This is one of the most common (and most misleading) pieces of advice after an injury.

Firstly we need to clarify... Rest ≠ doing nothing.
It means avoiding the things that make your symptoms worse — not stopping all movement.

💡 The right kind of movement actually helps tissues heal, keeps muscles strong, and prevents stiffness.
But knowing what’s safe and what’s not? That’s where a physio comes in.

So the bottom line: DON'T “wait and see.”
📅 Book your physio appointment today and start moving smarter, healing faster, and getting back to life stronger.

"Oh I wish I had of come to you sooner" - we hear it all the time
So here's our team's PSA: Don't wait with pain after an injury!
Did you know waiting for the pain to get better or delaying treatment until you are in less pain can actually slow healing and lead to ongoing issues?
Physios assess, refer for imaging, treat and guide your recovery from day one - no referrals needed.
The earlier we start, the better (and quicker) you recover!

So if you're experiencing pain or even just a ni**le here's your sign - book a physio appointment today

😴 Neck feeling stiff in the morning? Your pillow might be part of the problem.

A good pillow isn’t just about comfort – it’s about supporting your neck and spine so you can sleep well and wake up pain-free.

When choosing a pillow, consider:
✅ Your sleeping position – side, back… or yes, even if you sleep standing up like a vampire 🧛‍♂️ (we’ve got you covered!)
✅ Your body size & shape – pillow height and firmness matter.
✅ Quality of materials – a well-designed orthopaedic pillow will hold its shape and give lasting support, which is why it’s worth more than a cheap foam option from the discount store.

At Activate Physiotherapy, we stock a range of pillows to suit everyone – big, small, side sleeper, back sleeper… and even mysterious night creatures who sleep upside down or standing up. 😉

Come in and find your perfect match – your neck will thank you!

Activate Physiotherapy - Our Story

7 years and 2 children ago we began the journey of launching Activate Physiotherapy. What was once a solo physiotherapist working from a first aid room in the distribution centre of a National Company, is now a team of 10 working across our 2 clinics in northern and southern Brisbane.

Activate Physiotherapy was born out of the passion of our fearless leader David Sandison who always knew he wanted to lead a band of like-minded practitioners to provide effective hands on health care to our patients.

After running a successful injury management clinic onsite at a distribution centre Dave decided (while on an overseas holiday) to start a clinic. An opportunity arose when Brisbane based medical centre - Gumdale Medical Centre moved from its previous location in Belmont to a state of the art multi-disciplinary primary care facility in Gumdale’s Eastside Village.

Many a skype call was made from dodgy overseas internet cafes but nevertheless Activate Physiotherapy was born in October 2011. The picture in header was taken on the day after he flew home from Paris, with wife Cassie at the clinic was opening presided over by Federal Member for Bonner, Ross Vasta.
