Did you know that opening a jar can tell us a lot about your health? 🫙

Grip strength is more than just hand function. In Allied Health, it’s linked to mobility, bone density, cognitive health and overall independence. These are key indicators of how your body is coping as you age.

At Recovery Station, our aged care team uses simple measures like grip strength to guide personalised therapy that helps you stay safe, confident and independent in daily life, from turning a jar lid to holding a handrail or enjoying your favourite activities. 😊

Our team bring holistic, evidence-based care directly to you. Whether you live at home or in an aged care facility, working alongside you, your family and your support providers to help you reach the goals that matter most.

Because sometimes, building the strength to open a jar is really about opening up more of life.

Meet Colleen, our phenomenal OT who’s making a real impact in aged care. 💙💚

“I was drawn to OT for its holistic approach, seeing the whole person, not just their condition. After years in acute care, I moved into community work to support people long-term in their homes with personalised, goal-based care.”

What keeps Colleen inspired? The creativity, connection, and wisdom of her clients.

“I love working with people who’ve adapted their own ways of doing things — you see some very clever inventions! Supporting them to stay independent often involves a bit of creative problem-solving.”

But it’s the relationships that matter most.

“Older people have so much humour, resilience and life experience. I’ve learned a lot from their stories — and picked up plenty of life advice too!”

A moment she won’t forget? Helping a client access a powered scooter - “It gave her the freedom to visit the shops or meet a friend for coffee. Seeing how happy and independent it made her reminded me what this work is really about.”

Colleen believes support should be introduced with care, timing and compassion.

“Listen. Be patient. Don’t rush. You might be the only person they see that day. Give them space to share, they don’t always feel the age written on their file.”

We’re proud to support clinicians like Colleen, who deliver creative, compassionate, person-centred care. ❤️

It’s National Stroke Week. This week we acknowledge the challenges of stroke recovery and the importance of support that truly fits the person.

At Recovery Station, our neuro team works closely with each client to figure out what matters most to them, whether that’s getting back to a favourite activity, building confidence, or holding onto the abilities they value most.

Recovery looks different for everyone:
💛 For some, it’s about rebuilding strength and movement.
💛 For others, it’s about maintaining what’s already there, for as long as possible.
💛 For all, it’s about feeling supported in a way that is most meaningful to them.

Our team combines evidence-based stroke rehabilitation with a person-centred approach that adapts to each stage of recovery, always guided by what matters most to the person we’re supporting.

Our amazing OT Meagen, had some fun helping a client add a little tech magic to their daily routine!

Together, they set up voice automation so the client can turn her lamp on and off using just her voice, a small change that makes a big difference to her independence.

Next up, they’re planning to automate the main lights throughout the house, the TV, and the bedside lamp, all to make life that little bit easier. 🥰

Recently, our Head of Discipline for Mental Health Occupational Therapy (MHOT), Erin, was invited to speak with the Behaviour Support Practitioner team at Activated Concepts.

In her session, Erin shared her experience at the intersection of Occupational Therapy and Behaviour Support, sparking important conversations about how collaboration across disciplines can lead to more person-centred and effective outcomes.

Key highlights included:

💡 The importance of staying aligned with professional scope and responsibilities

💡 The power of sensory regulation, particularly through the tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems

💡 Knowing when OT-specific recommendations and clinical oversight are needed

The team at Activated Concepts were incredibly grateful and excited to continue integrating OT-informed strategies into their practice to better support the people they work with every day.

We're proud to see our team helping build capacity across the sector. You're a legend, Erin! 💪

📣 This National Pain Week, we’re amplifying the voices of the 3.6 million Australians living with chronic pain.

Under the theme Pain Takes A Nation, we’re shining a light on just how far-reaching the impact of chronic pain really is, physically, emotionally, socially and economically.

It takes opportunity. It takes productivity. It takes time. It can take families to the brink. And that’s why it's time for pain to be recognised as a national health priority. 🤔

At Recovery Station, we witness the impact of pain every day. Not just on the body, but also on mood, energy, independence, and connection.

That’s why our allied health team works closely with each of our clients to support their journey in a way that’s personal, practical and sustainable.

Managing chronic pain isn’t one-size-fits-all. We tailor support across movement, nutrition, mental health, and daily routines, always at a pace that suits the individual and their circumstances.

👉 If you or someone you care about is living with chronic pain, we’re here to help.

At Recovery Station, student placements for 3rd and 4th year clinicians go beyond observation - we offer real, hands-on experience with clients in a supportive, growth focused environment.

So from day one, you’re empowered to take confident steps toward becoming a skilled allied health professional. Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what Georgia, a 4th year OT currently on placement, had to say:

"Emma (my supervisor) has shown me how important it is to build rapport, especially in someone’s home. Strong client relationships are the foundation of effective therapy. This placement has already shaped my future as an OT."

Thanks, Georgia, we’re so glad to have you on board!

We’re proud to invest in the development of future clinicians, supporting students as they build skills and confidence throughout their placements.

The best part is that many go on to join our 12-month Graduate Program and continue growing with us. 💪

Have you heard of Recovery Station Day? You might not have, but it's important for our team. 🥳

It's a day where we celebrate the incredible team behind everything we do. 💪

It was a special chance to reconnect, unwind, and share some well-earned laughs.

Our team were treated to heavenly foot and neck massages, tantalising tea tastings, cocktails and mocktails. An aromatherapy station invited everyone to create their own soothing blends, and to top it all off, each person left with a thoughtfully curated goodie bag.

💚💙 Each individual is what makes us a strong, connected, and inspiring team!

It was a well-deserved afternoon that reminded us of the importance of recharging, connecting, and celebrating the incredible people who make Recovery Station what it is. 💥
