A little peek at our wonderful NJB Secret Santa lunch and Christmas party! 🎄🎁

We all had such a blast today with our Christmas lunch and Secret Santa 🎉

Everyone contributed and brought in a dish for everyone to share and we cannot thank them enough for all the love and effort into this little lunch.

We were also blessed to have our emerging physio Tina sing karaoke jingle bells for us in both English and Mandarin! She did a great job despite a few technical difficulties from her bluetooth microphone that had us all laughing with her 😂🎤

Not long ago we also had our NJB Christmas party with our wonderful principal physio, Sharon, treating us all to an escape room and dinner at The Boundary Hotel ✨

Throughout these two events we all had such a fantastic time with lots of joy, laughter and fun. It always feels good to spread some holiday fun with some gifts and a good time ❤️

We hope everyone out there has a wonderful holiday period!

A great resource for those with EDS wanting to help participate in research surveys 💙

The Ehlers-Danlos Society posts research surveys that have IRB approval to give the community the opportunity to take part in research.

Currently, we have open surveys from researchers studying topics including barriers to vEDS care, ocular diagnoses and surgery, diagnostic delay in hEDS and HSD, and chronic lower limb pain in adolescents.

To learn more about how to take part visit https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/our-research/research-surveys/

We had a very productive inservice recently reviewing what our team learned from Mark Comerford on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and the techniques for treating it 👀

Each of our physios got to test their skills on one another, learning and giving feedback on each technique they performed.

Keeping our practical and clinical skills top notch is so important for us to provide the best care we can! We always make sure to set aside time for our physios to keep learning, growing and honing their skills. 💪

🦓🎉 Welcome Anna ! 🦓🎉

We're thrilled to introduce the newest addition to our team, Anna !

Anna graduated from the University of Queensland in 2016 and has since been dedicated to helping patients improve their health, restore movement, and achieve their functional goals. She has worked across a range of conditions to deliver individualised treatment and rehabilitation programs.

Having hypermobility herself, Anna understands the unique challenges it can present with and recognises the limited support often available for people with symptomatic hypermobility. This experience inspired her to develop a strong professional interest in helping others manage their symptoms, improve joint stability, and build confidence in movement.

With over 9 years experience as a physiotherapist Anna is dedicated to expanding her expertise in the management of hEDS/HSD, and their associated symptoms through continuous professional development. She is actively engaged in personal mentoring with principal physiotherapist Sharon Hennessey, refining her clinical approach and staying at the forefront of evidence-based practices in hypermobility-related conditions.

Anna is committed to evidence-based practice, having completed further training in Acupuncture, Dry Needling, Pilates and Women’s Health. She also has level 1 & 2 women’s health/pelvic floor physiotherapy training. This allows her to assist with stress incontinence, urge incontinence, pelvic floor weakness and pelvic floor over-activity issues. These skills, blended with her training in hypermobility, give her a unique perspective into problems around the hips, pelvis and back.

To learn more about Anna, check out her bio on our website. For further inquiries, please contact us by emailing our reception team at reception@notjustbendy.com

It's fantastic that we're finally beginning to see research into hypermobility and long covid!

There's been so many reports from those with hypermobility being effected by long covid since the beginning of the pandemic, and it's a relief that we now have some science on how it's effecting people to back it up 💙

A huge thank you to one of our amazing clients, Emily, who generously gifted us this incredible box of goodies! ❤️

This was such a kind gesture and we're absolutely in love with the custom NJB zebra cutting board she gifted to us 😍 It's taken up a permanent residency on our staff room bench ❤️

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance 🤍🩷💙 🕯️

As we wrap up the celebrations and festivities of Transgender Awareness Week, we take a day to mourn and remember the beautiful trans lives of those lost to transphobic violence and discrimination 🕯️

We take an extra moment to remember our trans zebras too. We will always remember those we have lost, and will always continue to provide a safe space where our trans zebras can be comfortable and themselves. 🤍🩷💙

We finally framed our community poster from this year's EDS & HSD Awareness Month! 🦓✨

It took us a little while to get it right, our wonderful leader Sharon put time and effort into collaging it to fit into the frame, but we wanted to make sure everyone's contributions fit in.

It now proudly sits in our reception area for everyone to see 😊

We love our little community and thank everyone who contributed earlier in the year into helping us show our bonds through community participation and to help spread awareness 💙
