Hi everyone,

I’ll be taking a short break over the Christmas and New Year period, and Healix NQ will be closed from the 19th of December, reopening on the 6th of January.

During this time, phones and emails won’t be monitored. Providers are welcome to continue sending referrals to the admin email, and these will be reviewed once the clinic is open again on the 6th.

Please continue to use the online booking system to secure your 2026 Physiotherapy appointments while the clinic is closed.

Thank you so much for your support throughout 2025, it truly means a lot. I’m really looking forward to continuing to help you move and feel better in 2026!

Wishing you and your families a safe, relaxing, and happy Christmas and New Year.

Ortho Observation! 🦴👀🤖🏥

🦴 This week I had the opportunity to observe a Total Hip Replacement via Direct Anterior Approach using the Stryker Mako Robot at the Mater Hospital.

A huge thank you to Dr Jonathon de Hoog from Aspire Orthopaedics for generously walking me through each step of the procedure. It was also great to meet Dr David Scott who was assisting.

A big shoutout to Jordan Ginard - the Mako Robotic Product Specialist from Stryker. Jordan is extremely knowledgeable, and it was fascinating to hear about his robotic pre-op planning process, and how that translates seamlessly into surgical precision on the day.

What a team! 👏

Massive thanks to the Mater staff, including the absolute legends in the nursing team, anaesthetics, and everyone else involved behind the scenes. It was a privilege to watch such a smooth and collaborative surgical environment in action.

These experiences help me better understand the full surgical journey, allowing me to provide clearer pre-op education, guide more confident rehab planning, and support clients through recovery with greater context and care.

I'm looking forward to sharing this insight with my current clients, and implementing what I’ve learned into future rehab programs!
