We got new flooring installed over the weekend; and we think it looks great!

Moving from carpet to floorboards in a weekend was pretty hectic, so we want to thank everyone who helped us with this process!

A special mention to Peter Mullen from Advanced Quality Construction for assisting us with a carpentry job at short notice: when our doors wouldn't close over the new floorboards!

You can check out Peter's work on Instagram via this link: https://www.instagram.com/advancedqualityconstruction?igsh=eHg1ZnhlbmV2cjYy

He does carpentry project big and small and we highly recommend him.

We hope our clients like the new flooring and that it enhances your experience with us 😀

Hi there!

My name is Leon, and I’m a final-year physiotherapy student at La Trobe University. I’m looking forward to joining the Prime Physiotherapy team for my 5 week placement and meeting all the wonderful clients who come into the clinic.

My first exposure to physiotherapy came through my background as a competitive swimmer, where I developed a strong interest in sports rehabilitation and recovery. Since then, I’ve become particularly passionate about helping people return to the activities they love, whether that’s in sport, exercise or everyday life.

My previous placements have included acute hospital musculoskeletal wards, subacute general and cardiorespiratory settings, alongside community-based neurological rehabilitation, both here in Melbourne and overseas in Italy.
Alongside my studies, I also work as a disability support worker, which I find incredibly rewarding. It’s given me valuable experience in helping others build independence, confidence and connection in their everyday lives.

Outside of physiotherapy, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, eating delicious food and staying active through pilates, tennis, gym, and of course, swimming.

I’m excited to learn from the Prime team and get to know everyone at the clinic. Please feel free to say hi 😊

We were fortunate to have Mr Greg Malham, a neurosurgeon, come and present to us last week.

He was a brilliant presenter and taught us so much about the different types of spinal surgery and when this would be required for patients with spinal pain. There were so many valuable clinical pearls that we learned.

Thank you to Greg, Carina and Whitney for putting together an excellent in-service for us.

Our physio team enjoyed a fun team building night playing board games. They played Catan and Ticket to Ride.

Impressively, Jake won both games. He was unstoppable!!

Hi everyone!

My name is Jackson and I am a final year physiotherapy student from Monash University.

I’m excited to be joining the team at Prime Physiotherapy for the next 5 weeks as part of my placement, and I’m really looking forward to meeting you all.

My interest in physiotherapy began when I was 12 and injured my knee during intense track and field training. With the help of a physiotherapist, I recovered within two weeks — that experience showed me the positive impact physio can have and inspired me to pursue a career in the field, particularly in sports-related areas.

So far, I’ve completed placements in acute hospital wards and community settings. Outside of uni, I work as a support worker and occasionally as a personal trainer.

My main areas of interest in physiotherapy include knee and shoulder conditions, particularly scapular dyskinesia and ACL injuries, but I’m eager to continue expanding my knowledge and skills in all aspects throughout this placement.

Outside of physio, I enjoy going to the gym and training in boxing.

I look forward to learning from the team and meeting many of you in the clinic — please say hi!

We were lucky enough to have Luke from Continuum Physiotherapy come in and present to us last week on Soft Skills in Private Practice.

There was so much practical advice and clinical gold in this presentation, that will help us elevate our patient consults even further.

Thanks, Luke for a fantastic presentation and helping us to continually improve our Physiotherapy service provision.

Hello!

My name is Flynn and I am a final year physiotherapy student at La Trobe University.

I am excited to be commencing my 5-week placement at Prime Physiotherapy!

Growing up in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne, I didn’t have much exposure to physiotherapy until my teens, when I started seeing my own physiotherapist for dance injuries and strengthening. I have been interested in the profession ever since!

I have previously completed placements in acute hospital wards and community settings, with specific focuses in osteoarthritis, chronic pain and neurological disorders. I have also worked as a sports trainer with my local football club for 3 years, and I regularly mentor younger physio students at La Trobe.

Currently, my professional interests lie in chronic pain, hypermobility and vestibular disorders, but I am looking forward to learning more over this placement and the next.

Outside of physio, I love to read, dance and eat good food.

I look forward to meeting everyone around the clinic. Please say hi!🌻
