Meet Bridget ☺️👋🏼

Bridge is one of our new physiotherapists here at Breaking Boundaries Rehab.

A Newcastle local and recent graduate of the University of Newcastle, Bridget developed a strong passion for neurological rehabilitation after completing her final-year placement program in Port Macquarie.

She enjoys working with people across their lifespan and prioritises maintaining functional capacity, empowering individuals, and helping clients achieve their personal goals. Bridget strongly values building positive therapeutic relationships with clients, recognising the importance of trust, collaboration, and person-centred care in achieving meaningful outcomes.

Outside of work, Bridget enjoys travelling in her van, spending time by the coast, doing Pilates, playing netball, and making the most of time with friends and family.

This weekend we celebrated the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere. 👩‍💼💜
At our clinic, we’re proud to work with such an incredible team of women. To the women on our team & in our lives who bring compassion, expertise, and dedication to every aspect of our workplace, and to the women we support on their health and recovery journeys — thank you for trusting us to be part of your story.

Here’s to strong women:
may we know them, 💭
may we support them, 🫂
may we be them. 🙏🏼
Happy International Women’s Day!

What a great way to start off the month with International Wheelchair Day! 🧑🏽‍🦽👩🏻‍🦼💜

International Wheelchair Day celebrates the resilience, independence, and achievements of wheelchair users across all areas of life, including work, school, recreation, and community engagement.

What a great time to raise awareness about the millions of people worldwide who use wheelchairs as their primary mobility aid just before the Winter Paralympics start at the end of this week!

Standing can be a powerful part of rehab for people living with a spinal cord injury 💜
Did you know it may help to:
✔️ Reduce the risk of secondary complications (like osteoporosis, pressure injuries & contractures)
✔️ Improve postural control, balance & muscle strength
✔️ Support bowel/bladder function
✔️ Enhance overall wellbeing and quality of life
At Breaking Boundaries, we offer a range of standing options in clinic and for home, tailored to your goals and needs.
If you’re curious about whether supported standing could be right for you, reach out to our team 💬

The colder weather will be here soon, time to start planning for winter adventures!
❄️☃️⛄️🏂🌨️🏔️⛷️🗻

If you’ve been loving the action at the Winter Olympic Games and counting down the days until the Winter Paralympic Games kick off in a few weeks… why not turn that inspiration into action? ❄️🏔️

At Disabled Wintersport Australia, we see every day how powerful winter sport can be, building confidence, independence, community and pure joy on snow.

Whether you’re:
⛷️ A skier or snowboarder with disability wanting to begin your journey on the slopes
🙌 A volunteer keen to give back and be part of something special
🏔️ A family member supporting someone’s journey into snowsport
💙 Or simply inspired by what you’re watching on the world stage

DWA memberships are now open for the 2026 season.

By becoming a member, you’ll:
✔️ Access adaptive equipment and trained guides
✔️ Join a welcoming, inclusive alpine community across five resorts
✔️ Be part of Australia’s pathway from first turns to Paralympic dreams
✔️ Help strengthen the future of adaptive winter sport nationally

Not ready to hit the snow yourself? You can still be part of the journey.

💙 Make a donation and help us provide adaptive sit-skis, volunteer training, and life-changing experiences for Australians with disability. Every dollar helps remove barriers and create opportunity on the slopes.

The Paralympics showcase what’s possible. DWA is where it begins.
