We're kicking off a short series taking you behind the scenes of running a small business.
As the year draws to a close and a new wave of graduates gets ready to enter the industry, it feels like a good time to reflect. Not just for those starting out, but for anyone already in business too.
A few things we wish more people knew early on:
First, your first business partners are the ATO and insurance companies. They take plenty, give very little back, and they never forget to invoice you. If you want to grow, you need to budget properly and be intentional about where your money goes.
Second, surviving isn’t thriving. Making it a few years in business is great, but if you’re only paying wages with no progress or profit, something probably needs to change. Time and sacrifice only matter if the business is actually moving your life forward.
Third, stop comparing yourself to what other businesses post online. It’s highlights only, no financials, and mostly just noise. Focus on your own lane.
We're not trying to be business coaches, sell a course, or slide into your DMs for $997. Just sharing a few hard-earned lessons after 15 years in it.

We don’t have a Christmas special… but we do have Luke wandering around with a mic asking dangerous festive questions.
Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
What’s the worst gift a partner can give you?
Settle this for us 👇🎄

A huge 257.5kg squat for big rig on Saturday. This was a 7.5kg competition PB.

Nick is one of the hardest workers in the room and did a great job in his last hit out for the year.

Always proud of his efforts 👊🏾

Thanks to for running a great competition.

Luke broke character for this one… but honestly, it needed to be said.
Hands-on work opens the window, strength keeps it open.
If your whole plan ends at the treatment table, you’re not creating change, you’re creating dependency.
Before we blame clients for “not doing their exercises,” we need to be real with ourselves:
Did we teach it properly?
Did we choose the right movements?
Or are we avoiding exercise because it feels uncomfortable for us?
This profession grows when we grow.
Stepping outside your comfort zone is part of being a better therapist, for your clients and for yourself.
Treat the tissue, strengthen the tissue, teach the tissue.
Let’s raise the standard together.

Not everyone gets needles.
Today’s session was all hands, clinical reasoning, and a bit of comedy.
This client is covered in tattoos but still terrified of needling, so we kept it simple with soft tissue work to the shoulder and some scapular joint mobilisation.
Different tools for different people, and the goal is always the same, get the them moving pain free.

Our final Movember Chats reel is here, and Russ came in swinging with full energy. Exactly what we needed to wrap this series up.
Plenty of laughs, plenty of honesty, and a reminder that talking about mental health does not have to be awkward. Sometimes it starts with a smile and a good mate.
Huge thank you to everyone who jumped in, played along, and helped us keep the message real this month.
If you have not donated yet, this is your sign. Every bit helps and it goes toward something that genuinely matters. Dontation link in our bio 💙

When bunion pain or toe stiffness builds up, it’s often more than just the joint, the intermetatarsal spaces and surrounding intrinsic foot muscles can become tight and fibrotic.
By needling between the tarsal joints, we can influence the capsule, improve local blood flow, and help decompress overloaded soft tissue around the MTP joints.
It’s precise work, and when done correctly, can make a real difference for people dealing with chronic forefoot pain or early-stage arthritis.

At Avia Performance, this is what treatment looks like.
A carpenter/footy player came in with ongoing lower back pain, but we know pain rarely starts or ends where you feel it.
We assessed the chain from the hip flexors and glutes through to the hamstrings and lumbar region, using targeted soft tissue work and needling to restore balance and control.
Our goal isn’t just to ease pain for a few days, it’s to solve the underlying issue through hands-on treatment and tailored exercise prescription that keeps you moving well long after the session.
This is the level of clinical reasoning and precision we bring to every client.

This November we’re growing mo’s and starting convos.
Luke will be walking around Avia asking the big questions like…
-What boosts your mood?
-Who checks in when you’re quiet?
-Coffee, gym or a good chat?
We’re all about movement, but this month we’re also moving the needle on mental health.
(Also featuring Luke's questionable editing skills and even worse camera angles 😂)

Education has always been at the heart of what we do and 2025 has been a huge year for the education pillar at Avia Performance.

1️⃣ We were proud to publish “Rethinking Overhead Pressing: Identifying and Addressing Hidden Movement Limitations” in the Winter edition of the Massage & Myotherapy Australia Journal, continuing our mission to challenge conventional thinking and refine movement-based rehab.

2️⃣ We were invited to speak at the AMT 2025 Online Conference, where we shared practical frameworks for restoring confident, pain-free overhead movement.

3️⃣ We also worked with the Massage Association of Australia (MAA) to deliver a two-part presentation, one online and one in-person in Parramatta. It was fantastic to connect face-to-face and receive such positive feedback from attendees.

Each of these milestones reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing clinical reasoning, education, and professional development across the industry.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s engaged with and supported our work this year. We’re excited to take an even bigger step forward in 2026 as we continue to grow our education stream.
