If you train, play sport, or sit at a desk all day… this is a clinic favourite.

AthElite Joint & Muscle Pain Relief Gel
✔ anti-inflammatory
✔ soothing for sore muscles
✔ great after training or physio treatment

Why do we love and recommend products?
Their Pain Blaster formula packs a punch with 21MG of Arnica, a natural anti-inflammatory which is double the active ingredients compared to other pain relief gels like Fisiocrem or Pain Away.
AND
No matter which state you barrack for, it's the recovery cream of choice for players from the QLD and NSW State of Origin teams!

Many of our patients keep one in their gym bag or bedside drawer to keep the treatment going at home. Available at reception if you'd like to try it.

She’s been answering your calls for 5 years… now she’s fixing your injuries 👀

Say hello (again) to Ella 👋
…just in a slightly upgraded role.

If you’ve been to our Stafford clinic, chances are you already know Ella’s friendly face from reception—or from the sidelines at netball keeping players game-ready.

Well, plot twist… she’s officially a Physiotherapist now 🎓👏

After 5 years with us (and a whole physio degree later), Ella has traded in the front desk for the treatment room—and we couldn’t be more excited.

She has a keen interest in:
🏃‍♀️ Sports injuries
🦴 Fractures & acute injuries
💪 Helping you get back to doing what you love (properly, not “I’ll just push through it” style)

Ella brings the same warm, friendly vibe you already know, but now paired with clinical skills to match. Her approach?
👉 Work with you, not just on you
👉 Build a plan that actually fits your life
👉 Get you back to your goals with confidence

Fun fact:
We first met Ella at Netball Association (thanks to a little nudge from her mum Katrina 😄), and she’s been part of the Activate family ever since—working as a receptionist AND sports trainer while completing her degree. Safe to say… she’s earned her stripes.

Outside the clinic you’ll find her:
🏐 Umpiring netball (at state & national level - no pressure 😁)
🏎️ Backing Oscar Piastri in F1
🏏 Watching the Big Bash
⛳ Or camping and travelling with friends & family

So next time you book in… don’t be surprised if the familiar voice behind reception is now the one helping you recover.

You can make a booking directly with Ella right here 👇

Welcome to the physio team, Ella 💙
We're so proud to have you as part of the Activate family and now as part of the clinical team!

🤫🤫🤫 We're going to let you in on a little secret 🤫🤫🤫
Your knee pain might not be coming from your knee.

Want healthier knees?
Strong hips are the secret.

These 3 exercises help support your knees:
✔ Glute bridges
✔ Side steps with band
✔ Step-down control

Strong hips = less knee stress.
Save this post for your next workout 💪
.. and if knee pain is already stopping you from exercising, a physio assessment can help identify the cause.

Friendly reminder heading into the weekend: Your body isn’t 21 anymore 😅

If you’re planning:
🏃 a run
🏌️ golf
🚴 cycling
🏐 weekend social sport

Make sure you also plan:
✔ a warm-up
✔ a cooldown
✔ recovery

Future-you will thank you... and fingers crossed you wont end up joining us in the clinic
👇 What sport are you playing this weekend?

Ever wondered what Shockwave Therapy actually does?
This treatment helps stimulate healing in stubborn tendon injuries like:
✔ plantar fasciitis
✔ Achilles tendon pain
✔ tennis elbow
✔ chronic shoulder pain
It works by stimulating blood flow and encouraging the body’s natural healing response. For injuries that just won’t settle, it can be a game-changer and I can say that with my hand on heart as I sit here treating my own netball-induced grotty Achilles 😅
If you’ve been dealing with pain for months, this might be worth considering.

Things we hear in the clinic every week 😅

“I only ran 10km… I don’t know why my knee hurts.”
“I slept funny.”
“I thought it would just go away.”
“I watched a YouTube video and tried to fix it myself.”

We reckon we’ve heard them all.... but lets see if you can prove us wrong 😁

Heel pain when you first step out of bed? It might not just be tight calves.

Here are 5 signs it could be plantar fasciitis
👇

1️⃣ Sharp heel pain in the morning
2️⃣ Pain after long periods sitting or resting
3️⃣ Tenderness like a bruised feeling under the heel
4️⃣ Pain after sport or walking
5️⃣ Pain that makes it difficult to walk on bare feet

The good news?
Most heel pain responds really well to targeted treatment and rehab.
If your heel pain has lasted longer than 1-2 weeks, it’s worth getting assessed by your Physiotherapist or Podiatrist.

📍Appointments available at both clinics Mon-Sat

Our new massage therapist Reanna offers professional, clinical massage designed to help with muscle tension, recovery and general wellbeing — all within a physiotherapy clinic setting.

And bringing you even more good news, whilst Reanna is completing further studies for her remedial massage qualifications we’re offering special pricing:

• $90 – 60 minute massage
• $50 – 30 minute massage

Appointments are available at Tingalpa on Wednesdays and Saturday, so availability is limited.

If you’ve been meaning to look after those tight shoulders, this might be the perfect excuse.

Book here:

FAQ's
* Is massage just at Tingalpa? Yes, at the moment dedicated massage therapy is only available at Tingalpa, however our Stafford Physios are more than happy to incorporate massage into your physiotherapy treatment
* Can I claim a health fund rebate? Health fund rebates are not available just yet while Reanna completes her remedial massage qualification. To make up for this, we are currently offering reduced introductory pricing for massage appointments.

🎉 Happy Birthday Sam! 🎉
Today we’re celebrating our incredible Stafford Team Leader and physio extraordinaire – Samuel (but we’ll let you call him Sam 😉).
Sam brings the perfect mix of calm leadership, clinical brains, and the kind of steady presence that makes both patients and staff feel instantly at ease. He’s the guy who can tackle a tricky case, guide the team, and still have a laugh in the staff room before the next appointment rolls in.
Our Stafford clinic is stronger because of his dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for every person who walks through the door. He leads by example, supports his team without fuss, and somehow makes it all look easy.
Sam, we hope your day is filled with good coffee, zero paperwork, minimal rehab exercises, and maybe even a break from correcting everyone’s posture for 24 hours.... nah who are we kidding we know you love it too much so lets just say we hope you've had a great day while doing it!
Thanks for everything you do for our team and our community. We’re lucky to have you.
Happy Birthday! 🎂👏

She’s in the clinic today, so if you’re popping by, make sure you wish her a big happy birthday! 💙💚

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.
