🌟 Upskilling in action! 🌟

Some of our physio team are in Queenstown from 11-14 September attending the NZMPA (New Zealand Manipulative Physiotherapists Association) Biennial Conference, “Aiming High.” NZMPA is dedicated to providing ongoing education in musculoskeletal manual and manipulative physiotherapy.

At the conference, our team is learning from leading experts on topics such as assessing and managing the cervical spine in headache and dizziness, optimising thoracic spine rehabilitation, enhancing foot function, and mastering lateral hip pain.

At Consultancy House Clinic, we prioritise investing in our staff’s professional development so our patients benefit from the latest techniques and best practice care.

💡 Lifelong learning for better outcomes.

🏃 Good luck to everyone taking part in the Dunedin Marathon, half-marathon or 10km on Sunday 14 September - including members of our team: Hamish (marathon) and Tracey (half-marathon)! 🏃🏻‍♀️

Once you’ve crossed that finish line, recovery is key to feeling your best afterwards. Hamish, our chiropractor and ultra-distance runner, knows a thing or two about bouncing back. (Photo of Hamish on one of his adventures runs - pretty amazing scenery)

Here are his top 5 recovery tips every runner should know:

1. Rehydrate and Refuel
Your body loses fluids, electrolytes, and glycogen while distance running. Within the first hour, drink water or an electrolyte drink and eat a mix of carbs and protein to start replenishing energy and repairing muscle tissue.

2. Keep Moving (Gently)
Resist the urge to collapse completely. Light walking and gentle stretching help prevent stiffness and improve circulation, which speeds up recovery.

3. Prioritise Rest and Sleep
Your muscles repair while you rest. Aim for extra sleep in the days following the marathon — it’s one of the most effective recovery tools.

4. Cold-Water Recovery at the Beach
Swap the ice bath for nature’s version — a polar plunge at St Clair or St Kilda. A few minutes in the cold sea helps reduce inflammation, ease sore muscles, and boost circulation. Plus, the fresh saltwater and community vibe make it a recovery ritual many Dunedin runners swear by.

5. Take Time Off Running
Give your body a break. Most runners need at least a week before doing any structured running again. Start with low-impact activities like swimming or cycling before easing back into running.

🌍 World Physiotherapy Day – Monday 8 September

Today, we celebrate the incredible work that physiotherapists do to keep people mobile, safe, and independent.

This year’s theme is healthy ageing and falls prevention — a perfect time to highlight Tim, one of our physio stars at Consultancy House Clinic. One of Tim’s areas of specialty is working with individuals experiencing balance issues and dizziness, which are crucial for moving confidently and reducing the risk of falls.

“I’m passionate about what I do. I’ve completed several post-graduate papers and will continue my studies next year in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy for a Master's. I believe in treating every client holistically, combining hands-on techniques with exercise therapy to restore natural movement.”

👉 Want to improve your balance or mobility? Talk to us about how Tim could help. Call 477 7746.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

Healed ACL 💥
Great post by .sportsphysio:

"Another great result for our client, who initially tore her ACL playing soccer - felt a pop, knee gave way, and MRI confirmed a full rupture. She was told by a specialist she’d never return to sport without a reconstruction.

Instead, we followed a 12-week weight-bearing bracing protocol (BLEX) with a knee extension block, alongside progressive strength, balance, and control training.

12-week MRI result: “Healing of the anterior cruciate with normally aligned ligament fibres (ACLOAS grade 1)”

✅ Pivot shift = negative
✅ Lachman Test = negative

A stable, healed ACL - no surgery required."

I’m very pleased to announce the next Family Constellation workshop in Dunedin will be on Saturday 7th June from 9.30am-1.30pm.
Have you ever felt as though you know there is something that could be changed or resolved, but you haven’t known where to start, where to look or what to do? Family Constellation work offers an alternative approach. It can reveal what might have been transferred down through generations to the present day. This workshop provides a process to resolve these entanglements.
To participate in a workshop, you must be over 18 years of age and have a strong desire to shift a current pattern.
I have more information about family constellations on my website rodneykentnz.com
