Did you know you may be eligible for a chronic care plan from your GP?

Medicare will rebate $60 for up to 5 sessions per calendar year if you have a chronic condition.

Have a chat with us and your GP to see if you are eligible. These 5 sessions will end on Dec 31 so now is the perfect time to use it if you haven't already.

Have you tried Parkrun?

Parkrun is a timed 5km free community event every Saturday at 8am! Our local ones are and that are beautiful trails! We absolutely love doing these weekend routes 💙

One of the best parts about Parkrun is the atmosphere. There's no pressure, no ego and lots of smiles!

All powered by volunteers too which makes it more special.

If you're interested in starting your 5km running career let us know and we can help you build up your running program safely and confidently!

It's that time of the year. Being frustrated with your pain? Wanting to feel better? October is fantastic for this.

It's (roughly) 3 months til Christmas. If you worked on being consistent in anything - your rehab, a daily lunch walk, your physical or mental health - by 2025 you will definitely see a change.

It doesn't need to be a big change, you are more likely to get improvements by being consistent over time.

Here's your reminder. Start on your strength, mobility (and) health and you will have a better 2026 💙

Achilles tendon pain?

We want to LOAD 💪

Tendons need load. That's how they get better.

Strong calves. Strong feet. Strong legs.

Let's get back to what you love doing 💙

Tendon pain?

Here are 5 MYTHS we want to clarify, that a lot of people get misinformed about. So, to help you recover quicker, have a read on our tendinopathy post!

💙 Rest will make it better.
Actully rest rarely helps. We want to progressively load you, with recovery and strength tools as well

💙 Stretching helps
Stretching doesn't help either! Stretching actually compresses a tendon closer to the joint and can cause a rubbing inflammation response. In the short term it's not beneficial. You're better off using a foam roller or massage into the muscle than stretching the tendon

💙 Strengthening will injure me
Incorrect. Strengthening can be tricky to manage (load is key) but our tendons are very strong, they can tolerate a lot. So they need enough strength to make their change

💙 Tendinopathy = inflammation
This is old info. We used to call it tendon"itis" but studies have shown in chronic injuries there isn't any inflammation markers. So we have changed our language to tendinopathy for both acute and chronic pain. It's more about the body not healing effectively within its required timeline of injury.

💙 I can't do what I love anymore
Yes you can, we just adjust, modify and load and have patience. We wish things could get better in a quick timeline but we have to respect the body and the injury as well. We can work around it. Love to run, let's get you on an elliptical or run/walk intervals. Love to cycle, let's take out hills and do flats for a while. We can modify 💪

If you're injured our osteos can help manage your pain and get you back to what you love!

Knee pain is one of the most common issues we see. But good news is, most cases improve with the right management.

It's often not the knee itself but your hips, knees, ankles and feet all working together.
💙Offload
💙Reload
💙Strengthen
💙Improve mobility and balance

These are the building blocks to get you moving pain free and back to what you love

If knee pain is holding you back, book an assessment. Let's get you back on (the) track!

Back pain can be overwhelming. Before we show you our morning stretches, here are 2 things to understand

💙 Not all back pain is the same.

Back pain might be acute or chronic.

Acute back pain needs different care than chronic back pain, but each can be painful in their own ways. Your osteo will help you figure out what's making things worse, and what you can do to help yourself feel better.

💙 Not every injury you do is the same injury worsening.

You might have chronic back pain, and reinjure it once a year. Doesn't necessarily mean you've made your original injury worse. It can be irritated/inflamed in a similar area but not always a regression. 

Your osteo will work with you to help you over your back pain journey to prevent the recurrence, and give you some exercises to help strengthen you going forward.

Movement and treatment are key for both conditions, just slightly different management!

If your back is bothering you, come see us!

Struggling with back pain? You're not alone.

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work or stop doing the things they love.

Did you know - most back pain isn't caused by a single injury, in most cases, it builds up over time. We call this the 1%'ers. Poor sleep, increased stress, colds/flus, different activities. All "little things" that can become bigger things.

The good news- you don't have to live with it!

Osteo treatment involves
💙 Decreasing tightness and guarding
💙 Gentle mobility
💙 Strengthening your muscles to help support your back
💙 Addressing postural complaints
💙 Osteopathy manual therapy including: soft tissue treatment, muscle and joint mobilisation, and nervous system changes to help you improve.

If your back is bothering you, come see us!
