Ever wondered why your recovery is taking longer than you expected?
Here’s the truth most physios don’t tell you straight up: your recovery timeline isn’t fixed, it’s influenced by what you do outside the clinic as much as what happens inside it.
At Adelaide Physio Care, we see it every day:
• Two people with the same injury can recover at completely different speeds.
• Rest alone won’t get you better, smart loading will.
• And the biggest game-changer? Consistency with your plan.
If you're trying to understand your own recovery journey, this carousel is for you.

Hi everyone!

My awesome wife is taking part in Coastrek, a 35km hiking challenge in the southern Fleurieu. Together with her team of mates, they have been training for the Coastrek to raise funds for mental health at Beyond Blue.

Aisha is trying to raise $500 and I'd be so grateful if anyone would like to support her fundraising efforts for such an important and impactful area of our overall health that many people struggle with 🤯🥰

You can donate via this link: https://www.coastrek.com.au/s/62311/76558/e

Thank you for the consideration🙏🏽

Always love each other, support each others struggles and tread as lightly as we can on this beautiful planet ❤️

💢 Neck-related headaches getting in the way of daily life?

You could be dealing with a cervicogenic headache - a type of headache that stems from dysfunction in the neck joints, discs, or surrounding soft tissue.

🧠 These headaches often start at the base of the skull and can radiate to the forehead, temples, or behind the eyes.

👩‍⚕️ At our physio clinic, we use evidence-based techniques to treat the root cause — not just the symptoms. Treatment may include:
🔹 Manual therapy to restore movement in stiff cervical joints
🔹 Soft tissue release to relieve tension in neck and shoulder muscles
🔹 Targeted exercises to strengthen neck stabilisers, upper back and shoulder muscles

Our goal is to help you move better, feel better, and reduce headache frequency and intensity long term.

📅 Book an appointment today and start your journey to headache relief.

• If your headaches are concerning you - please make sure you speak to a health care professional •

WINTER and ARTHRITIS 🥴

There is so much evidence-based help available for arthritis sufferers ❤️

The colder months are here, as is less general activity, and both of these reason’s often lead to arthritis sufferers, suffering more over winter!

➡️ Arthritis is a common condition affecting 3.5 million Australians and refers to a group of conditions affecting the body’s joints and surrounding tissue.

➡️ Osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the two most common types, with the most common symptoms being joint pain, stiffness and reduced function which can lead to disability and reduced quality of life.

➡️ For osteoarthritis of the knee, hip and hand there is considerable evidence showing strengthening exercises can improve overall long term function to the same extent that medication can, but without the side effects of pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs.

➡️ For rheumatoid arthritis, evidence shows moderate to high intensity exercise (both aerobic and muscle strengthening) improves muscle strength and general fitness in the short term, and that these benefits can be maintained with longer-term exercise.
