Movement Monday: Arabesque 🧘🏼‍♀️

Todays movement monday is a combination of balance and strength. Our physio Georgia wants to show of her skills from ballet and has some recommendations for people wanting to up their skills.

The arabesque or aeroplane movement demonstrates good hip, knee and ankle strength, balance and control and the principles of this movement can be applicable to many single leg movements used in daily life. You should aim to maintain the equilibrium between the hips, i.e not twisting or dropping the hip to one side, completing the movement without losing your balance and completing the squatting movement with slow control and good knee alignment.

Congratulations to Sophie Helleren who represented Australia at the World Archery Youth Championships in Winnipeg, Canada 14-24 August 2025. She competed in the U18 Female Compound division in all three events - individual 720 ranking round, individual matchplay and team matchplay. Sophie shot really well in very windy and wet conditions. She came 2nd out of the 3 Aussies in her division in the ranking round and achieved a World Archery ranking. She really enjoyed her time shooting with and against her teammates, the team matchplay, supporting her teammates, and getting to know the competitors from other countries. This experience has encouraged her to work hard to qualify for future World Youth championships and other World Archery events.

Welcome to our new Physiotherapist Bailey🎉

Bailey completed a Bachelor of Biomedical Science, majoring in Infection and Immunity in 2022, followed by a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in 2023 - both at Deakin University, as well as most recently, completing a Master of Physiotherapy at Swinburne in July this year. He joins the clinic after gaining valuable experience through completing placements in both hospital and private practice settings, including recent placement experience here at hoppers physio.

He has a strong interest in treating sports-related injuries, as well as back and neck complaints. He is passionate about helping patients return to their sport or work both as quickly and as safely as possible. Having endured his own significant knee injuries in recent years and working closely with his own physiotherapist during rehabilitation, he brings a high level of understanding and sense of empathy to his practice – sharing insights drawn from his own recovery journey.

Outside of the clinic, he enjoys all things sport, particularly AFL and athletics. He continues to play local Senior football and stay active with running throughout the summer. When he’s not on the field, he enjoys spending time with his partner, catching up with his mates, dining out, and looking after his family dog, “Ruby.”

Bailey is now available for bookings via our website or alternatively contact the clinic reception on 9749 5110.
