🚑 Top Injuries We See in January
January is when motivation is high — and injuries often follow.
Common injuries we see this time of year:
• Lower back pain – sudden return to gym or long hours sitting
• Knee pain – increased running, squats, or sport
• Achilles & calf strains – jumping straight into cardio or sport
• Shoulder pain – lifting heavier or poor gym technique
How they usually start 👇
❌ Too much, too soon
❌ Poor load progression
❌ Skipping warm-ups or recovery
How physio helps:
✅ Identify the real cause
✅ Modify training — not stop it
✅ Build strength and tolerance safely
✅ Reduce pain and prevent repeat injuries
Early treatment = faster recovery.
👉 Book your physio appointment and keep your January goals on track.

❌ “Pain is just part of getting older.”
Truth 👇
Pain isn’t something you’re supposed to live with — at any age.
Aches and stiffness are often signs of:
• Reduced strength
• Poor load management
• Movement patterns that need tweaking
The good news?
With the right guidance, many people move better and feel stronger as they get older.
Pain may be common — but it’s not normal.
If pain is holding you back this year, let’s change that.
Early advice can make all the difference.

January is the perfect time to reset — but the best goals aren’t about doing more, they’re about doing things better.

Instead of:
❌ “Train every day”
Try:
✅ “Train consistently without pain”

Strong movement goals are:
• Specific – What do you want your body to do?
• Realistic – Built around your work, sport, and life
• Sustainable – Something you can keep up all year

Whether your goal is to return to sport, get back to the gym, or simply move through your day without pain — having the right plan makes all the difference.

🎄✨ Celebrating a Fantastic Year! ✨🎄

Our Christmas party at Acre by Simone was a blast! The team came together to enjoy delicious food, drinks, and some friendly competition with lawn games — darts, Jenga, rice paper roll making, and even a blind food tasting! 🥳

A huge congratulations to our Employees of the Year, Jane and Daryl! 💛 Your consistent hard work, dedication, and support to both the physio team and the wider clinic, even through personal ups and downs, has not gone unnoticed. We truly appreciate you! 👏

We also want to recognise our incredible clinic managers, Nikita, Richard, Stacey, and our admin manager Jane for their tireless efforts managing each clinic day-to-day. Your leadership, dedication, and support keep everything running smoothly — thank you! 🙌

A big thank you to our Director, Abby — working tirelessly behind the scenes, near or afar, to ensure our clinics run smoothly, our staff are cared for, and our patients receive gold standard care. We couldn’t do what we do without you! 🙌

Here’s to an amazing year behind us and an even better one ahead! 🥂

🎄✨ Ho Ho Hold that stretch! ✨🎄
From our physio family to yours — Merry Christmas to all our incredible clients, schools, sports teams, and community partners.
This year we’ve had the privilege of helping over 6,000 patients, both in-clinic and through our off-site work in school clinics, the Steel Mill and with local sports teams. Thank you for trusting us with your health, recovery, and performance — it truly means the world to our team.
We’re so grateful to be part of your journey and your community. Here’s to a safe, happy, and active holiday season 💛💪🎅

🎄🚗 Heading away for the holidays? Here are some simple physio-approved tips to keep your body happy and pain-free during long drives!
🚘 Seat Position Matters
Set your seat so your hips are level or slightly higher than your knees, with a slight recline (around 100–110°). Bring the seat close enough so you’re not reaching for the pedals or steering wheel. Good alignment reduces stress on your lower back, neck and hips.
🪑 Support Your Lower Back
Use a lumbar roll, small cushion or rolled towel to support the natural curve in your lower back. This helps maintain spinal alignment and prevents slumping when sitting for long periods.
🚶 Take Movement Breaks
Stop every 1–2 hours to walk, stretch, roll your shoulders and loosen your hips. Movement improves blood flow, reduces stiffness and helps prevent muscle tightness or nerve irritation.
🦵 Avoid Twisted or Crossed Leg Postures for Extended Periods
Try to keep both feet facing forward with hips even. Long periods with legs crossed or sitting sideways can strain your lower back, pelvis and hips.
💧 Stay Hydrated
Hydration supports your joints, muscles and alertness. Plus—it naturally encourages more breaks to move!
🎅✨ Enjoy the journey comfortably and arrive feeling great.

🎄🕺 12 Days of Christmas Mobility – Head to Toe Edition 🎶
Move Better • Feel Better • Stay Injury-Free this Festive Season
This Christmas, give your body the gift of movement! Here are 12 simple mobility drills, working from head to toe, to loosen stiff joints, improve posture, and keep you pain-free through the silly season. Perfect for before workouts, long travel days, or after too much time sitting or standing.
🎶 Day 1 – Neck Mobility Circles
Gentle side-to-side and circular neck movements to release tension from long days at the desk, driving or gift wrapping.
🎶 Day 2 – Shoulder Rolls & Chest Opener
Open up tight shoulders with big forward and backward rolls, plus a doorway chest stretch to reverse slouching.
🎶 Day 3 – Thoracic (Upper Back) Rotation
Seated or standing: rotate through the upper back to improve posture and reduce neck/shoulder strain.
🎶 Day 4 – Thread-the-Needle Stretch
Targets mid-back, shoulder and rib mobility — great for upper body stiffness.
🎶 Day 5 – Cat-Cow Spine Flow
Gently mobilises the whole spine, improves posture and reduces back tightness.
🎶 Day 6 – Hip Flexor Stretch (Lunge Position)
Perfect for tight hips from sitting, driving or long flights.
🎶 Day 7 – 90/90 Hip Rotation Drill
Boosts hip mobility and glute activation — ideal for lower back protection.
🎶 Day 8 – Hamstring Stretch (Standing or Supine)
Lengthens tight hamstrings that can contribute to lower back discomfort.
🎶 Day 9 – Glute Figure-4 Stretch
Targets deep hip and glute tension — especially helpful after long drives or shopping trips.
🎶 Day 10 – Ankle Mobility Rocking
Knee-to-wall or rocking drill to improve ankle range — great for squatting, walking and balance.
🎶 Day 11 – Calf Stretch (Wall or Step Stretch)
Helps with walking comfort, reduces Achilles and plantar fascia strain.
🎶 Day 12 – Full-Body Flow (World’s Greatest Stretch)
A perfect combo of hip, spine, shoulder and hamstring stretching all in one.
✨ Try one mobility drill per day — or create a mini flow by combining a few!
Great for warming up, cooling down, or breaking up long periods of sitting, driving or standing.
