Postural asymmetry in children and adolescents is something worth paying attention to 👀

Signs such as uneven shoulders or hips, rib cage prominence when bending forward, head tilt, or differences in waist or leg length can sometimes be associated with scoliosis - a sideways curvature of the spine that often develops during growth spurts.

Scoliosis doesn’t always cause pain. However, back or neck pain, especially when combined with:
• visible postural asymmetry
• rapid growth phases
• changes that don’t resolve over time
• or a family history of scoliosis

…are important reasons to seek assessment.

Early identification allows for appropriate monitoring, education, and exercise-based management to support spinal health and function as your child grows.

Our Physiotherapist, Chryselle is a trained in Scoliosis treatment so if you have concerns about posture, pain, or spinal development, she is here to help!

🦵 Myth-busting Osteoarthritis

❌ “There’s nothing you can do for osteoarthritis - it’s just part of ageing.”
✅ Research shows exercise, strength training, and tailored physiotherapy can reduce pain, improve mobility, and delay the need for surgery.

❌ “Exercise will wear my joints out faster.”
✅ The right exercises actually nourish cartilage, strengthen muscles, and protect joints.

❌ “Once arthritis starts, it only gets worse.”
✅ With the right treatment plan, many people maintain active, pain-free lifestyles well into their 60s and beyond.

✨ Our experienced Physiotherapists can help you take control of osteoarthritis, not the other way around.

💪 Stronger Bones, Stronger You 🦴

Just take a look at this lovely bunch of champions!! These radiant ladies are members of our Friday morning "BOLD BONES" class.

Our bone density building classes
✨ Small groups (max 5 people)
✨ Designed, assisted and supervised by our Physiotherapist, Gabryela Bettridge
✨ Individually modified exercises for your safety & ability

Perfect for those with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or anyone wanting to protect their bone health.

📅 Spots are limited - call 3289 6122 to book your 1:1 GAP-FREE Assessment and Induction with Gaby!

The Research behind our Bold Bones Classes:
The LIFTMOR Study (Watson et al., 2019) demonstrated that high-intensity, supervised resistance training is both safe and effective in postmenopausal women. Results showed significant improvements in:
✅ Increased bone mineral density
✅ Increased muscle mass and functional strength
✅ Reduced balance and fall risk

Importantly, the study dispelled the long-held concern that heavier lifting is unsafe for older adults. Under proper supervision and technique, participants achieved substantial benefits with minimal adverse events.

🤔 Why is Remedial Massage Sometimes Painful? 🤔

If you’ve ever wondered why a remedial massage can feel a little uncomfortable or like straight-up torture at times, here’s the answer 👉

💢 Pain or tightness in your muscles often means there are “knots", active trigger points or restricted areas.
💆‍♀️ A remedial massage therapist uses targeted pressure to break down, improve relaxation, circulation, and restore movement.
✅ While it can feel intense during the treatment, the long-term result is reduced pain, better mobility, and a body that functions more freely.

However having said that, a common myth is that for remedial massage to “work,” it has to hurt. Not true!

💆‍♀️ Effective doesn’t mean painful.
Discomfort can happen if your therapist is working on very tight or restricted muscles, but treatment should never feel unbearable.

If your body is bracing or resisting, the muscles can’t fully release, which makes the massage less effective.

At Inline Physio Samford, our highly experienced Remedial Massage Therapist Ellen Cooper and Myotherapist Peter Thompson work with you to make sure the treatment is both effective and safe, adjusting techniques to your comfort level while still achieving results.
