After 3 years with Pittwater Chiro, Jess is finishing up in the clinic next week.

From starting on reception to becoming an incredible chiropractor and business owner, it’s been so special to watch her grow — and even more special to see the relationships she’s built with her patients along the way.

Jess has been such a big part of our clinic and our team, and she’ll be missed.

If you’ve been seeing Jess and would love one more visit, her last week in clinic is coming up — bookings are limited 🤍

Thank you, Jess. We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see what’s next.

Merry Christmas!

Wishing our amazing community a safe, happy and relaxed Christmas.
Just a gentle heads-up that we’re running with reduced availability over the next 10 days, so if you need to be seen, booking ahead is a good idea.

✨ Candice, Todd & Braeden are working
✨ Jess returns from Jan 7

Thanks for being part of our Pittwater Chiro family 💙

For the past two months, I have been going through the bronze medallion course to become a Surf Life Saver at North Narrabeen. I knew it was going to be challenging, but it really pushed me out of my comfort zone.

We rarely do things that scare us post-30. I knew I was scared of big waves, but it really cemented it when training at North Narrabeen. My sister-in-law warned me, but I ploughed on ahead.

When I talked to friends and patients about the training, many said If it scares you that much, then why don't you quit? I definitely thought about it, but what kept me going was my family. I want to be able to read the ocean and understand how to keep my family and friends safe at the beach. I wanted to experience what it was like for my Pa, Dad and Uncles to be part of the SLSC community as they had been at North Curl Curl. I have always been someone who gets a huge reward from helping the community and I knew that if I passed, I would be a good help. So I powered on.

I want to say a huge thanks to Todd for encouraging me to keep going. From taking the reins, looking after the kids while I trained on a Sunday, to sending me pep talks and playing walkout songs on Saturday morning to amp me up for the assessment. I could not have done this without you, and I love you very much.

Shout-out to my mum for taking the kids during peak witching hour on Wednesdays so I could do the theory. To all the trainers and volunteers at North Narrabeen, we truly appreciate the time and effort you put into training us. You said at the beginning that we would make great friendships and that it would change your life, and it has.

If anyone is curious about joining, send me a DM and I am happy to chat.

Braeden is officially back from leave, and our full team of chiropractors and massage therapists is available in the lead-up to Christmas. This time of year can get busy quickly, so it’s a great opportunity to check in on the little niggles before they turn into something that slows you down during the holidays.

Appointments tend to fill up faster in December, and our chiros are often booked about a week ahead — so if you’ve been meaning to come in, now’s a good time to secure a spot that suits you.

We’re here to help you feel your best heading into the festive season. 💛

Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most stubborn injuries, and it’s often misunderstood.
The Achilles tendon handles huge loads every day and has a naturally slow healing rate. When it becomes overloaded, the collagen fibres lose their alignment and the tendon becomes stiff, thickened and less resilient — which is why rest or stretching alone rarely works.

What does help is the right kind of load. Research consistently shows that heavy, slow, controlled exercises stimulate tendon healing. Eccentric, concentric and isometric exercises can all be effective as long as the load is high enough and progressed gradually.

Recovery is also influenced by the bigger picture: training spikes, age, biomechanics, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and even certain medications (like statins and some antibiotics). Understanding these factors helps create a smarter rehab plan.

The good news? Tendons adapt. With a personalised program and progressive loading, the Achilles can become stronger, thicker and far more tolerant over time.

If you’re dealing with ongoing Achilles pain or morning stiffness, we can help guide you through the right steps.

Research shows that targeted hip strengthening is more effective long-term than cortisone injections for lateral hip pain. In a 2018 randomised clinical trial (Mellor et al., BMJ), an education + exercise program outperformed cortisone for improving pain and function in people with gluteal tendinopathy.

1. Side-Lying Hip Abduction
• 3 × 10–15 reps
• Toes slightly down, heel up, pelvis stacked
• Progression: ankle weights, bands, slow 3–4 second lowering phase

2. Lateral Band Walks
• 2–3 × 10–15 metres
• Soft bend in hips/knees, lead with the heel
• Progression: band at ankles, stronger band, mini-squat stance

3. Step-Downs (Lateral or Forward)
• 3 × 8–12 reps each side
• Keep pelvis level, control the descent
• Progression: higher step, dumbbells, slower tempo

These exercises help strengthen your lateral glutes, stabilise the pelvis and reduce tendon irritation — a proven approach for real, long-term improvement.
And of course… Rex will be supervising, as always, to make sure your form (and your vibes) are on point.
