Osteoporosis versus Osteoarthritis -What's the difference?

I have been asked by a client to find more information on her condition-OSTEOPOROSIS but unfortunately when we met and had a chat she advised me it was osteoarthritis. It wasn't a problem and a definition often confused, so if interested please find below a link to an article I have written on our webpage.

https://www.physioonross.com.au/blog/osteoporosis-and-osteoarthritis/

Also, within the next week or two will be some more information and correcting mistruths about osteoporosis management and exercise. That is to follow.
Hope all are well and the year is quickly disappearing (only 99 days until Christmas !!)

Welcome ANITA SELBY

Physio on Ross would like to welcome our newest physio to staff-Anita Selby. She has plenty of experience and many of Townsville's community will know her work from various settings. We are pleased to announce that Anita will be commencing work from Tuesday 12th August and you will be able to contact her directly through our admin phone 47282116 or by "Booking online" on our webpage www.physioonross.com.au

Please find below Anita's bio.

"A local Townsville girl, Anita completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at James Cook University with Honours in 2008. In a career spanning 16 years, she has gained experience in a wide range of patient settings. Upon graduation, Anita worked two years in Kingaroy on a QLD Health rural scholarship. Upon returning to Townsville, she worked at the Townsville Hospital until she found her calling in private practice work. Anita worked for a few reputable private practice clinics around Townsville, before running her own small multidisciplinary clinic. Returning to the hospital scene, Anita worked at the Mater Hospital for five years across inpatients, outpatients and rehabilitation, in clinical and leadership roles. She returned to private practice and community-based work where she has been over the last five years. These experiences have led Anita to have knowledge in a breadth of areas, including musculoskeletal, sports, women’s health, lymphoedema, occupational health, and aged care.

In her junior years, Anita also competed at high level sports, achieving state representation over seven years in softball, and even a national squad. She knows the commitment required to compete at a high level, but also about being involved in sport and exercise for fitness, health, and social benefits. Not a stranger to injuries herself in later years, Anita has experienced her own rehabilitation journeys and so knows firsthand what it is like to need to recover and return to doing what she enjoys. She prides herself on being able to connect with patients, find the underlying cause of pain or injury, and work together with patients with a hands-on and active evidence-based approach to recovery and injury management.

Anita is a proud Mum to a ten-year-old daughter, and in her spare time they enjoy spending time together, going to the beach, watching movies, and spending time with family. You will still find her on the sports field – playing softball and touch football, coaching the junior ranks, and she is also a regular attendee at F45.

Anita is looking forward to being part of the team at Physio on Ross and being part of your journey! "
