We have a bittersweet update to share: Sally-Anne Stelling will be stepping away from her role as Supervising Physiotherapist at the PTRC. While we are sad to see her leave the clinic team, we are proud to share that she has accepted a new position as Co-Director of the Brain Wellness Program.

Sally has been instrumental in the clinic’s evolution, offering exceptional guidance and student mentorship throughout her time with us. Her new role is a reflection of her dedication and impact, and we are excited to see her thrive in this next chapter.

Please join us in congratulating Sally and wishing her every success in her new role!

Ergonomics exercise #2: The Spinal Rotation

A stiff back can contribute to pain and poor posture, especially when sitting all day for long hours at the office.

Try this stretch to improve mobility and reduce stiffness. Additionally, you can book an appointment with one of our physios today for an assessment - https://bit.ly/PTClinicBook

How to do a spinal rotation:

1. Sitting up tall in your chair, reach through the crown of your head to elongate your spine.
2. Rotate your body to one side and hold for atleast 10 seconds.
3. Rotate your body to the other side and hold for a couple seconds.
4. Repeat a few times to each side.
