Have you had a Total Knee Replacement 6+ Weeks Ago?

You’ve had your surgery… you’ve worked hard in rehab… but are you dealing with:
- A bumpy or raised scar
- Shiny, tight skin around the knee
- Ongoing pain or stiffness
- Difficulty improving your range of movement
- A knee that just doesn’t feel like it’s progressing the way it should

You’re not alone — and there is more that can be done.

As a Physiotherapist, I Offer Hands-On Soft Tissue Release & Scar Re-Integration. Soft-tissue manual therapy is highly underrated in post–total knee replacement rehabilitation. Scars mature over two years and hands on treatment can help to break up scar tissue, release adhesions and re-integrate the scar back into your skin.

It can help:
-Reduce tightness
-Improve scar mobility
-Ease pain
-Boost range of motion
-Help your knee feel more like your knee again

I have a couple of free spots available on Monday 8th December - locally in Forestville.

🌍 World Diabetes Day — A story we never expected would be ours

For our son, and many others, Type 1 diabetes was triggered by a Covid infection. The virus set off an autoimmune response, causing the body to attack the pancreas — the organ that normally produces insulin.

He was in the middle of his HSC trial exams when he began feeling constantly thirsty and unwell. With a house move happening at the same time, the symptoms dragged on for two weeks before we finally checked his blood glucose on 6 August 2023. The reading was 30 mmol/L (normal range is 3.9–5.5). He was rushed to emergency, where doctors diagnosed DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) — a life‑threatening condition. Later that day, he was given the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes.

So, what does living with Type 1 diabetes actually mean?
Needles, needles, and more needles. Not liking them isn’t an option.

Spontaneity takes planning. Every outing needs fast carbohydrates and insulin on hand.

Carbs must be counted. For every meal or drink, the carbohydrates are calculated so the correct insulin dose can be given

Insulin is vital. It’s the hormone that lets the body use blood sugar from food and drink — something most people never have to think about.

Without insulin, glucose builds up in the blood. That makes it acidic, strains vital organs, and damages blood vessels. So almost everything eaten or drunk requires either an injection or a pump dose.

Insulin pumps help, but they’re not simple. Every three days a new site must be inserted (another needle), the cartridge refilled, and yes — another device that needs charging.

Finger pricks don’t disappear. Even with a continuous glucose monitor, accuracy checks mean more blood tests.

Highs and lows are dangerous. Too much glucose damages the body, but if levels drop too low (under 2.5), you can lose consciousness and slip into a coma.

Type 1 diabetes is often misunderstood. It’s not caused by lifestyle choices or “doing something wrong.” It’s the result of an autoimmune reaction.

Right now, there’s no cure. But there are many promising trials underway, and we believe our son won’t have to rely on an insulin pump forever.

Why scar reintegration matters after joint replacement / surgery

After a total knee, hip replacement or surgery, reintegration helps the scar reconnect with surrounding skin and fascia, improving movement, reducing stiffness, and supporting long-term comfort. It is an incredibly underrated part of rehabilitation but can be the difference between an ok result and a great result.

Gentle hands-on therapy and movement retraining can ease that “tight” or “stuck” feeling, helping your body move more freely and confidently again.

If your scar feels like it’s holding you back, let’s talk about how we can help it settle back in.

Osteoarthritis Doesn’t Always Mean Surgery

If you’re over 45 and have had hip or knee pain for more than 3 months and have been given a diagnosis of osteoarthritis - it’s no longer a given that you’ll need a joint replacement.

Evidence shows osteoarthritis doesn’t always get worse — and evidence-based, targeted exercise helps to reduce pain and improve function.

Not very flattering I know, but this photo truly shows the exhilaration I feel by helping you get back to your best.

March this year marked 10 years of Sue Cutbill Exercise Physiology, and I’ve truly loved supporting clients locally in the Forest community and from further afield.

I’m passionate about learning and expanding my scope so I can offer the best evidence-based care possible, and I have taken most of the last year out of private practice to complete study.

Alongside my Exercise Physiology background, I’m also a qualified Physiotherapist.

Over the years I’ve had plenty of opportunities to grow my business, but I always come back to the reason I started private practice in the first place: to provide a truly individualised service that delivers excellent results.

I believe in providing you the education and tools you need to manage your condition, whether that’s a medical issue, an injury, or simply a desire to build strength, my focus is on providing a clear framework so you can achieve lasting results. I also provide hands on trigger release and myofascial release and massage where indicated for enhanced results.

If you’re dealing with chronic lower back pain, struggling with a knee injury, you have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes, you are wanting to gain strength, you are navigating the WorkCover system or if you have another health condition or injury — I’d love to help.

As a sole practitioner, I keep my hours limited so that when I see you, I can give you the time and attention you deserve.
