In 2024, Bastiaan was found unconscious at the bottom of a slope after a skiing accident.
Bastiaan had suffered multiple facial fractures and a painful shoulder injury.
He was fortunate in one significant way however – having access to the exercise rehabilitation technology he had spent years introducing to allied health clinics around the world.

The getback Cervical Rotation Device can look daunting, but it’s the safest and most effective way to strengthen and improve the range of your neck.
The device is so effective, it has been utilised for an RAAF program by the Air Combat Group.
Called Fighter Fit, the program focuses on conditioning, maintenance, and if necessary, rehabilitation. It is not uncommon for RAAF fast-jet aircrew to sustain neck injuries, as the weight of helmets and displaced centre of gravity places considerable strain on a pilot’s neck and upper back.
Thanks to the Move for Life - getback Mentone team for producing this video explaining how the Cervical Rotation device functions.

Venus Martin has a tendency to get carried away when she’s ‘on a mission’.
But the former flight attendant’s usual brightness was dimmed when she developed severe back pain after hosting a family Christmas last year.
‘I was so focused on “my mission” to clean and put everything away and I was standing the whole time.’
After the party, she went to bed and ‘couldn’t move.’
‘I couldn’t turn my body,’ she recalls. ‘I thought maybe after waking up, I’d be okay.’
‘But I had difficulty getting up in the morning, which is not normal for me. I had to take it very slowly because my back was really painful.’
After several days of painkillers and massage, the pain was still persistent.
‘Before I thought, when you overdid something, you’ll be okay after a few days. But not this time.’

getback™ grew out of a physiotherapy clinic in Middle Park, Melbourne, where career physiotherapist, Geoffrey Mackay and sports scientist, John Carlson, were frustrated with the commonality and recurrence of neck and back pain complaints and the lack of a truly effective treatment.
By bringing together the logics of sports science and a deep understanding of the pathological progression of neck and back injuries from 60 years' combined clinical practice as well as a partnership with a world-leading therapeutic technology, David, they 'cracked the code', developing a therapy that delivers lasting results that far outperforms all other current treatments.
Now, Geoffrey and John are both passionate about sharing the benefits of their life's work to improve the health and quality of life of many who live with this often-debilitating condition everyday.
