Welcome to the Riverland Damien!
Our region is lucky to have you!

New Team Member Announcement: Welcome Damien!

We are thrilled to welcome Damien Crettenden to the River Allied Health team as our new Exercise Physiologist!

Relocating to the Riverland from Adelaide was an easy task with the numerous attractions and lifestyle of the Riverland region - he is eager for new adventures and ready to explore our unique hidden treasures.

Outside of work, Damien keeps active at the gym, running, playing social sport, and is passionate about downhill mountain biking – a hobby that matches his energetic personality.

As part of our future services plan, we are now accepting bookings and referrals for exercise physiology services with Damien in addition to our existing team of physiotherapists and allied health assistants to provide assessments, home exercise plans, gym-based programs and hydrotherapy interventions tailored to individual needs.

Damien is excited to help us introduce Exercise Physiology to the Riverland, and looks forward to becoming a part of the Riverland community.

Welcome to the River Allied Health team, Damien!

Back to School 2024! Australian Podiatry Association

A bit about Jess.

Jess graduated from the University of South Australia in 2015, beginning her Podiatry career in Adelaide where she worked across two busy Podiatry practices.

In 2018, Jess moved to the Riverland to live with her now husband Ace, after travelling across North America for a few brilliant months, hiking through the national parks.

Jess quickly began work at Barefoot Podiatry in Loxton, making it her own in 2019, now known as Move Well Podiatry.

Bursting at its seams in 2023, Jess relocated Move Well Podiatry to its forever home at 50 East Tce, Loxton: a purpose-built Podiatry practice!

Coming into her 10th year of practice, Jess thrives on helping you achieve your movement and footcare goals, whatever they may be. From walking more comfortability and optimising independence; to smashing that running goal or managing an injury through the sporting season. Even little ones learning to walk. People of all ages and abilities are welcome!

Outside of work, you'll find Jess out and about with her two cheeky border collies (Gyp and Moss, who you're sure to hear about). She's never too far from a good hiking trail or the river, drinking a coffee or a glass of red (you can take the girl out of the Barossa, but ... you know the rest). And when the weather's right, digging up a storm in the garden.

Jess and the team look forward to seeing you soon!

While we enjoy the last days of 2023, it'll soon be time to start thinking...... school shoes.

Its important to find a good shoe fit since your child spends so much time in their shoes. Poor fit and quality can cause all sorts of problems for growth and development, and its usually the first place Podiatrist look when kids come in complaining of foot or leg pain.

Help your kids step into 2024 by reading over this check list below!

1. Make sure toes can wiggle freely in the shoes and wide feet shouldn't bulge over the sides of the shoe. Take the shoe liner out and stand on it to check the width.

2. Allow 1cm from the longest toe (I'm looking at you number 2) to the end of the shoe

3. The shoe should only flex where the foot flexes (across the base of the toes), no bending in the middle or ringing the shoe out like an old rag!

4. The heel counter should be firm when squeezed.

5. Make sure the shoe is adjustable; secure laces, velcro and buckles are good, just make sure the heel doesn't slip!

6. Take school socks or stockings shopping with you. This will help you find the right fit and still meet uniform requirements.

7. If your child wears orthotics, heel lifts or wedges, take them shopping too. These can really change the shoe width and depth required.

Follow this link to the Australian Podiatry Associations list of endorsed footwear, including school shoes. https://www.podiatry.org.au/partneringwithapoda/endorsed-products

Happy shopping!
