🧠Don’t let fear of pain stop you from staying active or doing what you love!

What Happens When Pain and Identity Collide- Joe's Story

For my friend and client Joe Pane, running isn’t just exercise — it’s part of who he is.

After eight marathons and more than twenty half-marathons, a calf injury stopped him at just 3km. He tried everything — rest, treatment, patience — but nothing worked.

Then we used the Ridgway Method, a whole-body approach to solving pain. What we found was surprising: the real issue wasn’t in his injured leg at all. Within 12 hours, Joe was back running 6km pain-free.

🎥 In this new interview, we talk about:
- Why pain isn’t always where you feel it
- The emotional toll of being unable to do what you love
- How treating the opposite leg changed everything

If pain has been holding you back, maybe it’s time to look at it from a new perspective.

We are excited to welcome our new remedial massage therapist aboard!
Angela Tascheri-Polli is a warm, engaging, experienced physiotherapist trained in Chile who has just completed her Diploma in Remedial Massage and about to study Myotherapy.

Angela is a great addition to our team and has already done a handover with Moneta.

Her approach to treatment centres on precise palpation, advanced massage techniques, and a deep understanding of how the body functions. She provides tailored care for each client, integrating methods such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, dry needling and deep tissue massage to address individual needs and preferences.

We say farewell to Moneta as she starts her maternity leave. She is expecting her 2nd child in early October and we wish her all the best.

Angela will initially work on Thursdays and Wednesdays and every second Saturday, starting Thursday October 2nd.

As an introductory offer for all clients, we are arranging a 10% discount at $99 for the first massage with Angela (normally $110), for the month of October.
Please book using this link or call us at the clinic on 9370 5654.

At NWPG, we value openness and connection. People often come to see us in a vulnerable state, where pain and frustration dominate their lives, affecting their physical, mental, and emotional health.

September 12th is R U OK Day, but we know that conversations around mental health is an everyday practice. Remember that reaching out to friends and loved ones and asking "R U OK?" can happen any day of the year.
