Motherhood asks a lot of your body.
Pregnancy stretches it. Birth challenges it. The fourth trimester humbles it.

But postpartum recovery isn’t just about “getting your body back.” It’s about rebuilding trust with it.

Your core and pelvic floor need time and progressive strength.
Your scar (if you have one) needs mobility and patience.
Your nervous system needs regulation.
Your sleep will be imperfect.
Your feeding posture matters more than you think.
And asking for help isn’t weakness — it’s recovery.

Physio in the postpartum season isn’t about six-week clearance and a green light to “go hard.” It’s about sustainable return. It’s about learning how to load again. It’s about moving in a way that supports the long game.

If you’re in this season — slower is not failure. It’s strategy.

Save this as a reminder that recovery is multi-dimensional. And if something doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to push through it alone.

This space isn’t about lifting the heaviest weight or sweating the most. It’s about rebuilding strength safely, restoring movement, and helping your body cope better with everyday life.

Rehab looks different for everyone — and that’s exactly how it should be.

Spondyloarthritis isn’t just “back pain” — it’s an inflammatory condition that can quietly affect mobility, function, and quality of life for years before diagnosis.

Early recognition, appropriate medical care, and regular, guided movement all play a key role in long-term outcomes. If your back pain behaves differently (worse with rest, better with movement, persistent stiffness), it’s worth getting it checked rather than pushing through it.

We were delighted to welcome Dr Carol McCrum to our clinic to present on Spondyloarthritis.

Dr McCrum is a highly experienced consultant physiotherapist in rheumatology and orthopaedics, passionate about improving early recognition of inflammatory conditions in musculoskeletal practice.

Her session focused on identifying axial and peripheral spondyloarthritis, recognising key red flags, and understanding when and how to refer to rheumatology.

With diagnosis often delayed for many years, improving our screening and assessment skills is essential. As physiotherapists, we play a crucial role in early identification and ultimately, in changing patient outcomes.

Thank you, Dr McCrum, for sharing your expertise with our team 👏 Keep your eyes out for our next post on the topic.

The goal isn’t perfect posture all day (that doesn’t exist). It’s variety, movement, and small resets that add up (the best position is your next position).

If you’re finishing the day with a stiff neck, tight shoulders, or an aching lower back, start with just one of these steps tomorrow.

Most recurrent injuries come down to three things:
• Returning to sport too quickly
• Stopping rehab once the pain settles
• Skipping the gradual build back to full training

Pain might settle with rest, but rest alone doesn’t fix the underlying problem. Often there’s tightness, weakness, or poor control that needs to be trained.

Rehab is about progressive reloading:
• Restore mobility
• Build strength
• Improve control
• Gradually increase load

For athletes, the final step is mimicking sport demands — cutting, sprinting, jumping, and plyometrics — so you return stronger, safer, and ready.

Pain settling is only the first step. Finishing rehab is what keeps you playing.

🏃‍♂️ Starting running? Read this first 👇
To stay injury-free, focus on 3 things:

1️⃣ Strength = Capacity
Strong calves & glutes help you tolerate running load.
🔥 Test it: Can you do 20+ single leg calf raises with control? If not, build strength first.

2️⃣ Load Management = Recovery
Increase volume by no more than 10% per week.
⚠️ Remember: hills, speed & terrain changes = extra load.

3️⃣ Control = Efficiency
Better running technique = less stress on your body.

Not sure where you stand? We can help 👊

There's no doubt you've already seen Chelcie at Bathurst Physio, but we're a bit overdue to welcome her on socials!

Born and raised in Bathurst, Chelcie completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Charles Sturt University in Orange before beginning her career at North Canberra Public Hospital. Chelcie has always had an interest in human movement, where she was curious about anatomy, biomechanics, and problem solving. She knew she wanted to be an active participant in patient recovery and rehab, which ultimately led her to Physiotherapy.

During her 2.5 years in Canberra, Chelcie worked across a range of clinical areas including medical, neurological, and cardiorespiratory. It was through her rotations in women’s health and paediatrics that she discovered a passion for pelvic health physiotherapy. Chelcie derived huge satisfaction supporting individuals through their recovery and helping them achieve meaningful improvement.

Pelvic Health has driven Chelcie’s ongoing professional development, including further specialised training culminating in her commencing her Master of Physiotherapy (Pelvic Health) through the University of Melbourne.

Chelcie enjoys pelvic health as she can support women and make meaningful change to their symptoms and overall quality of life. She recognises that pelvic health concerns can often feel sensitive or isolating, and she is deeply committed to creating a supportive environment where patients feel understood, empowered, and confident in their care.

To book an appointment with Chelcie, call us on 6332 1955.

Bit of Olympic excitement in the clinic this week 🇦🇺

John and Katrina have spent a lot of time in Livigno over the years, so it’s been pretty cool seeing it in the spotlight during the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Huge congrats to Cooper Woods on taking gold in the men’s moguls — an incredible result.

High-performance sport always comes back to the basics: strength, control, and good rehab when it counts.

🤖✨ Meet HAL

We were lucky to host Daniel (co-founder of RoboFit) and Jessica (Physiotherapist) to learn about HAL – the world’s first neuro-controlled exoskeleton.

Daniel shared his powerful story as a C4/5 incomplete quadriplegic following a balcony collapse, and how Cyberdyne’s HAL technology changed his life by assisting to restore motor function.

HAL is a clinical training tool (not for home use). It works by detecting the user’s intention to move and assisting gait in a supported, less demanding way, allowing for greater repetition. This repetition helps drive neuroplasticity (the nervous system’s ability to adapt, re-organise, and form new connections to improve movement and function).

A huge thank you to Daniel and Jessica for coming down and teaching us about this incredible technology
