One last team photo before things get a little quieter around here. Michelle is off chasing waves at surf camp and Sam is getting ready to make the big move across the ditch to Aussie in a couple of weeks.

We’ve been lucky to work with a crew that not only cares about great physio, but also keeps things fun with a few questionable pranks along the way 🤣

You’ll both be missed around the clinic… but we expect surf updates and Aussie check-ins! 🤙🏼

Here’s to good teams that push one another to be great, good banter, and the people who make coming to work easy.

These conditions can occur in many tendons throughout the body.
However, one of the most commonly affected tendons is the Achilles tendon.
In the next posts, we’ll break down:
• Achilles tendinopathy
• How it develops
• Evidence-based rehabilitation

So if you’re dealing with Achilles pain, stay tuned.

As New Year goals kick off, it’s easy to fall into the all-in → burn-out → drop-off cycle.
While motivation is high, our bodies — especially our tendons — often need a more gradual approach.

One of the most common injuries we see at this time of year? Achilles tendinopathy.
It often reflects that boom-and-bust pattern: sudden increases in running, gym load, or sport without enough time to adapt.

The good news?
Progressing into activity slowly and consistently is not only more sustainable — it’s usually better for tendon health too.

We’ll be sharing a short series breaking down:
• what Achilles tendinopathy actually is
• why it happens
• and how we manage it as physios

Starting with this reel — showing what we might look for when assessing someone with a suspected Achilles injury.

Move well. Build steadily. Stay in the game. 💪

Ann Cools and Ben Ashworth are two people making significant headway in the development of shoulder rehabilitation.

Recent studies have shown the benefit of strengthening the shoulder in multiple directions at time, as well as strengthening the shoulder in a way that considers how the shoulder actually functions. I.e., sequence of movements, resistances and forces.

See the above slides for a few examples!

Would you give these a try?

Strong, well-controlled shoulder musculature is one of the single most important things a physiotherapist can target to reduce pain, restore movement and prevent recurrence of shoulder disorders. Recent high-quality reviews and trials show consistent benefits of progressive strengthening (including rotator-cuff and scapular stabilizers) for pain reduction, improved function and better range of motion in rotator-cuff related pain.

Over the next few weeks we’re going to delve into what the rotator cuff is, some injuries that can occur, and how we address these as Physiotherapists 💪🏼🏋️💆‍♀️
