CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

Just 7 months ago, Matt was recovering from knee surgery following a mountain bike fall. Fast forward to now—he’s climbed 16km to the summit of Mt Fuji with his son by his side!

Internal fixation following patella fracture is one of the more painful rehab journeys we see, as patients are unable to bend their knee for at least 6 weeks while healing takes place. This creates a very stiff knee when it’s time to move! Despite pain, swelling, and doubts along the way, Matt stuck to the plan devised with Physio Tom early in the piece. Add in a lot of grit and determination (along with all those stairs in Japan!) and Matt was able to achieve his goal.
⁠
Huge effort, massive result—and a proud moment for Physio Tom and the whole team at Up & Active.
⁠
Well done Matt!

Physio Bec recently returned from touring Viet Nam 🇻🇳 with the Women's Volleyroos. As an ex-Volleyroo, Bec experienced the trip in a new light - this time, as the team's physio at the VTV Cup.

"Being on the bench as staff, rather than playing, was amazing and surreal. It was wonderful to reunite with the girls in a different capacity and remain part of the culture. I hope to return next year," says Bec.

Bec is now back in the clinic, eager to work with all athletes, with a clear soft spot for volleyball. 🏐

Embracing New Technology in Lymphoedema Management using Advanced 3D Imaging

Lymphoedema management has come a long way, and at Up & Active Physiotherapy, we are committed to bringing the latest innovations to our patients. Our lymphoedema-accredited physiotherapist, Cathy, is available on Friday mornings at Hope Horizons, to provide expert care and support. To enhance our treatment approach, we’ve invested in MediVision LymphaTech, 3D imaging technology designed to measure and monitor lymphoedema with exceptional precision.

What is MediVision LymphaTech?

MediVision LymphaTech uses 3D imaging to assess limb volumes, allowing us to track percentage changes over time accurately. This technology ensures a more precise and effective approach to managing lymphoedema, benefiting both patients and healthcare providers.
