๐ŸŒธ Womenโ€™s Health Week ๐ŸŒธ

There is so much about womenโ€™s health that isnโ€™t openly discussed: from periods and pelvic pain to menopause and sexuality.

This week, weโ€™re sharing a few honest, science-based books that open up important conversations and remind us that womenโ€™s health is about more than medicine, itโ€™s also shaped by lived experiences, social context, and the conversations we choose to have.

๐Ÿ“š Ladies, We Need to Talk โ€“ Yumi Stynes & Claudine Ryan
๐Ÿ“š The Power Age - Kelly Doust
๐Ÿ“š Dear B***s - Emily Searle
๐Ÿ“š The M Word โ€“ Dr Ginni Mansberg
๐Ÿ“š Come As You Are โ€“ Emily Nagoski
๐Ÿ“š Women's Wellness Wisdom - Dr Libby Weaver

๐Ÿ’— When it comes to women's health, every conversation matters.

Our team recently had the pleasure of an in-service with Katarina from Scartistry Studio ๐Ÿ’™

Katarina is a paramedical tattoo specialist who expertise includes scar camouflage, ar**la tattooing & cosmetic tattooing, often working with people recovering from cancer, helping them feel more comfortable and confident in their skin. Her artistry, compassion & genuine connection with her clients left a big impression on us. She's also working on developing customer ni**le prosthetics, adding another meaningful way to support people after treatment.

Weโ€™re thankful for the opportunity to learn from Katarina as we believe itโ€™s important to collaborate with like-minded professionals who share the same care and commitment to supporting others. ๐Ÿ’™

Today is Daffodil Day, a Cancer Council initiative. The daffodil is a symbol of hope, strength and the vision of a cancer-free future. ๐Ÿ’›

Almost one in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85; a reminder of why awareness and support are so important.

Shoulder changes after neck dissection? ๐Ÿ”

Pain, stiffness, or weakness in the shoulder is common after neck dissection surgery and itโ€™s called shoulder dysfunction.

It can affect your mobility, comfort, and ability to do everyday activities.

Meet Charlotte โ€“ our new podiatrist! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Charlotte joined our team in May and brings nearly 20 years of clinical experience, with a strong focus on rehab and patient-centred care.

Originally from the UK, Charlotte's passion for podiatry began early, shaped by supporting her brother with cerebral palsy. She now combines her lived experience with advanced training in Shockwave Therapy and injection techniques to help her patients stay mobile and pain-free.

Outside the clinic, youโ€™ll find her surfing, walking the coast with her kids, or doing Pilates. ๐ŸŒŸ

Today we recognise Head & Neck Cancer Awareness Day ๐Ÿ’™ and acknowledge the daily struggles patients experience. We see firsthand how treatment can save lives, but often lead to long-term challenges for patients.

Letโ€™s integrate early physiotherapy screening and intervention into the standard care of head and neck cancer patients, before side effects manifest.

Common side effects & physiotherapy solutions:

๐Ÿ“Œ Radiation induced tissue fibrosis:
โ€ข Targeted stretching & manual release techniques
โ€ข Home self-management: daily range-of-motion exercises

๐Ÿ“Œ Trismus (jaw stiffness):
โ€ข Jaw-mobility exercises
โ€ข Assisted manual stretching and use of jaw-mobilisation devices

๐Ÿ“Œ Shoulder dysfunction:
โ€ข Early scapular & shoulder muscle strengthening
โ€ข Home based exercise programs + (virtual) check-ins

๐Ÿ“Œ Lymphoedema (internal & external):
โ€ข Manual lymphatic drainage, laser therapy, neck and facial exercises
โ€ข Compression fitting

๐Ÿ“Œ Social isolation:
โ€ข Build confidence through education, empower with self-management
โ€ข Ongoing support for rural patient via Telehealth consultations

๐Ÿ‘‰ Early physiotherapy intervention = improved quality of life.
๐Ÿ‘‰Letโ€™s shift from reactive to proactive care.

๐ŸŽ‰ Huge congratulations to Michael! ๐ŸŽ‰

This month, weโ€™re celebrating one of our longโ€‘term clients, Michael, who recently reached an incredible 5โ€‘year milestone. To mark the occasion, he took on the demanding HYROX challenge, testing both his strength and endurance and in the process, he raised over $25,000 for Head and Neck Cancer Australia. ๐Ÿ’™

Michaelโ€™s dedication to his health and his drive to give back to the community that supported him is truly inspiring. What an amazing achievement to highlight during Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ช
