🙋‍♂️ Let’s Talk About Men’s Health 🙋‍♂️
Guys, we don’t always speak up when something’s wrong. Pain, stiffness, or nagging aches? Many men shrug them off, hoping they’ll just go away. But here’s the truth: delaying health care is more common than you think... and it can make things worse.

🩺 According to the AIHW, men in Australia are less likely than women to use allied health services like physio.
🩺 Around 21% of men say they waited longer than they felt was acceptable to get a GP appointment.
🩺 And despite many men knowing their health matters, about 30% don’t get regular check-ups.

Here’s where physiotherapy can be a game-changer:

It’s not just for big injuries — physio helps with preventative health, recovery, and strength.

That nagging back pain or shoulder tightness? A physio can fix that before it gets bad.

Treating early means staying active, working pain-free, and avoiding long-term damage.

So today, on International Men’s Health Day here’s your challenge 💪

Ask yourself: What’s been bugging me?

Don’t ignore it. Book a physio session or get a check-up.

Tell a mate. Support starts with conversation + action.

You don’t need to “tough it out.” Taking care of yourself is smart and its the strongest decision you can make.

They know the perfect gift is bone shaped pens! ✍️sando11 was osteoblasting with excitement over his new writing tools - finally a way to add a little humerus and backbone to his notes while keeping things rib-solutely professional of course
Strong bones. Strong puns
Sorry not sorry 😝

Happy Birthday to our fearless leader, Dave!
You somehow manage to balance expert clinical care, running two busy clinics, all of your kids sporting ventures (word on the street is you're a pretty handy Union, Rugby League and AFL coach) and a serious dedication to lycra and gin. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thanks for everything you do for the Activate team & we hope your birthday’s as legendary as your cycling gear collection. 🚴‍♂️🍸🎂

Ever felt like your pain’s dragging on way longer than it should? 😩
You’ve rested, stretched, maybe even Googled it (yep, we all do it)… but it just keeps coming back.

Here’s the truth — sometimes it’s not the injury anymore, it’s your body’s alarm system stuck in overprotective mode. 🚨

Your tissues are fine — your body just hasn’t gotten the memo yet.
Watch this 👇 and tell me if it sounds a little too familiar…
Who else can relate? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Activate Physiotherapy - Our Story

7 years and 2 children ago we began the journey of launching Activate Physiotherapy. What was once a solo physiotherapist working from a first aid room in the distribution centre of a National Company, is now a team of 10 working across our 2 clinics in northern and southern Brisbane.

Activate Physiotherapy was born out of the passion of our fearless leader David Sandison who always knew he wanted to lead a band of like-minded practitioners to provide effective hands on health care to our patients.

After running a successful injury management clinic onsite at a distribution centre Dave decided (while on an overseas holiday) to start a clinic. An opportunity arose when Brisbane based medical centre - Gumdale Medical Centre moved from its previous location in Belmont to a state of the art multi-disciplinary primary care facility in Gumdale’s Eastside Village.

Many a skype call was made from dodgy overseas internet cafes but nevertheless Activate Physiotherapy was born in October 2011. The picture in header was taken on the day after he flew home from Paris, with wife Cassie at the clinic was opening presided over by Federal Member for Bonner, Ross Vasta.
