🩰 Pre-pointe Assessments • At Goolwa Physio, our physiotherapist Jenna has a strong background in dance and performance management, offering pre-pointe assessments.

With over 18 years of training in a variety of dance styles, Jenna has completed all Royal Academy of Dance examinations, taught ballet, and has also trained in aerial acrobatics. Her deep understanding of the physical demands and technical requirements of performers ensures a tailored approach to assessing a dancer’s readiness for pointe work.

A pre-pointe assessment is essential to determine whether a ballet dancer is prepared to transition safely to pointe work, typically around the age of 12. Given the high prevalence of dance injuries associated with pointe work, particularly in growing adolescents, it is crucial to meet the necessary physical criteria. The assessment includes a detailed history of past injuries and dance experience, followed by a thorough objective examination of key factors such as ankle range of motion, stability, strength, and foot alignment. Some dancers may be ready for barre work en pointe but require further assessment before progressing to centre work. If specific criteria are not met, a personalised home exercise program will be provided to address areas like strength and stability, ensuring safe development. Since each dancer progresses at their own pace, follow-up appointments may be necessary before advancing to pointe and beyond the barre.

Suffering from headaches 🤯😫 Luckily for you our physio Harry has completed advanced training in the Watson Headache® Approach!

This internationally recognised method focuses on the crucial link between the upper neck and head pain, using precise assessment techniques developed by Dr Dean Watson PhD. Research shows that most people with migraines or tension‑type headaches have symptoms that can be reproduced through targeted cervical examination confirming the neck’s major role in headache disorders.

What sets this approach apart is its ability to influence brainstem sensitisation, a key driver of migraines. With this advanced training, Harry can offer a specialised, evidence‑informed pathway for people seeking clarity and relief from ongoing headaches or migraines.

If you’re experiencing persistent headaches or migraines and want to explore this approach, you can book an appointment with Harry to get started 🤗

Very fortunate to have the lovely Kellie from guide our team through a yoga session last Friday to help us wind down for the week 🧘🏽‍♀️

Special mention to Stu, who thankfully chose not to debut any yoga tights. The team (and HR) are extremely grateful. Namaste… but keep the lycra at home 😅🤭

Physio Myth Busting series vol III • ✨ Good posture prevents pain ✨
•
There’s no single “perfect” posture. Pain isn’t caused by sitting or standing wrong. It is influenced by load, movement variety, recovery, stress and your nervous system. Holding yourself stiff and upright all day can actually increase tension and fatigue 😳

👉 The best posture is your next posture. Move often. Change positions. Get comfortable being a little uncomfortable.

World Cancer Day | February 4 🩵

In 2023, an estimated 165,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer. The most common types include prostate, breast, melanoma, bowel, and lung cancer.

Research shows that exercise can play a powerful role in cancer recovery — helping to boost energy, manage fatigue, reduce side effects, and improve overall quality of life.

At Goolwa Health Co, we see exercise as one option that can help improve quality of life and support people in returning to the activities that matter most to them.
