As finals season heats up, every training session, game, and recovery moment counts. Whether you're pushing for peak performance or managing late-season niggles, staying healthy and game-ready is key; not just for success now, but for your long-term performance and wellbeing.

At Move for Better Health, we work with athletes of all ages and abilities across a wide range of sports — from football and soccer to netball, dance, gymnastics, and everything in between!

Our allied health team is here to support you and your team through every stage of the season. Whether you’re dealing with:
🔹 Acute injuries that need fast, expert assessment
🔹 Persistent niggles that could signal something more
🔹 Load-related issues like tendon pain or stress injuries
🔹 Foot or footwear concerns affecting performance
🔹 Off-season strength & conditioning planning
🔹 Or simply want to prepare smarter for your next season

We can help with personalised assessments, treatment, and training advice to keep you moving at your best. Our services include screenings, supervised gym programs, Pilates and yoga, and ongoing support tailored to you or your team.

🏆 Finals are important but so is your future in sport. Let’s keep you strong, fit, and ready for what’s next. You can read more about our sports injury management on our website here: https://moveforbetterhealth.com.au/treatment-options/sports-injuries/

Struggling with Jaw Pain, Clicking, or Headaches? It Could Be Your TMJ.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull — and like any joint, it needs full movement and proper muscle control to function well.

TMJ disorders can lead to a range of symptoms, including:
🔹 Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds
🔹 Jaw locking or difficulty opening your mouth
🔹 Pain around your jaw, ear, or face
🔹 Headaches
🔹 Trouble chewing or biting

At Move for Better Health™, our experienced Physiotherapists have advanced training in TMJ assessment and treatment — a specialised area often overlooked in general physio practice.

Your treatment may include:
✔️ Hands-on therapy
✔️ Targeted exercises
✔️ Lifestyle and posture advice
✔️ Collaboration with your Dentist or GP

We start with a thorough assessment of your jaw, neck, and TMJ function to find the root of your pain. Most people benefit from 4–5 sessions, but every plan is tailored to your unique needs.

🧠 It’s National Pain Week

Chronic pain is more common and more complex than many people realise. This week is about recognising the challenges faced by those living with pain, and breaking down the stigma that still surrounds it.

At Move for Better Health, we know that pain doesn’t just affect the body. It can impact your mood, sleep, energy levels, relationships and daily life. That’s why we take a whole-person approach to care.

Our experienced team including physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, psychologists and podiatrists, work together to help you understand your pain, build strategies to manage it, and regain confidence in your body and movement.

Ever wondered "what should I wear to my appointment?"

Wearing comfortable and unrestrictive clothing can help your appointment run more smoothly - for both you and your practitioner!

👖 Coming in for a knee issue? Tight jeans might not be the most practical choice. Pick shorts instead.
👗 Got a back concern? A dress could make assessment or treatment a little tricky! Wearing something that your practitioner can easily work around to assess the area in question is best.
🏃‍♀️ Attending an exercise session? Activewear or unrestrictive clothing is ideal!

If you're ever unsure, just ask! Don’t worry, we have a few spare pairs of shorts available if needed
