🎄 Festive season is officially ON at Optimum! 🎄

Joe loves a bit of a dress up and Christmas is an easy excuse for him to go a bit crazier!

Today marks his first outfit of the season - Santa and palm tree themed rashy with silver garland tiara to match!

He’s heading off on holidays from December 17th, so until then:

👉 Keep an eye out every day for a new, increasingly ridiculous festive outfit.
👉 Feel free to vote for your favourite (or the most questionable!).

🎅✨

✨ A Huge Thank You & A Big Win for Team Optimum! ✨
On Monday this week — after a lot of gentle nudging, parking, un-parking, more nudging, and maybe a tiny bit of bribery — Joe finally agreed to run a full Team Strategy Day.
He’ll admit he was a bit trepidatious…🧐
Would it be boring?🥱
Would it be death-by-PowerPoint?🤬
Would anything actually come out of it?🫣
Thankfully, we brought in the big guns.🔫
Enter Anna — Joe’s brilliant wife and co-owner, and the Principal Director of Unplex (unplex.com.au)\
Anna is an absolute mastermind at enabling organisations to spot bottlenecks and help them simplify chaos.
Her genius lies in identifying obstacles we didn’t even realise were there — and then helping us create clearer, easier, smarter pathways through them. And she did exactly that!!!
Check out some of the brainstorming sheets we came up with through the day. We also had chance to take a couple of new team shots…
💡 The Outcome?
We had an amazing day.🤩
A chance to pause, reflect, refocus, and reconnect with:
• where we’ve come from
• where we are right now
• and where we want to head next as a team.
There were lots of laughs, a few competitive games, and plenty of “aha” moments.
And yes — we absolutely stuffed our faces (looking at you, Josh and Sijie 👀🍔). See photographic evidence at Wodonga.
Thinking About a Strategy Day?
If you’ve been putting it off, unsure what it actually involves or whether it’ll be worth it — do it.
And if you’d like some guidance:
📞 Call Joe at the clinic
🌐 Or check out unplex.com.au
We promise you won’t just get a “nice day out” — you’ll walk away with a clear, constructive, practical plan to make your workplace better.
And you might even have fun doing it. 🧠✨🍔

If you didn’t know already, one of Joe’s quirks outside the clinic… is that he’s obsessed with traditional Irish music. 🍀🎶
(You’ve probably heard a reel or jig sneaking through his Spotify while you’ve been on the treatment table… you’ll either love it or hate it! 😅)

For the past two years, Joe and a few of his kids have been teaching Irish music to our local community, and it’s grown into a brilliant little group of around 20 musicians. Each year they put on a Christmas/end-of-year recital — complete with festive tunes and this year joined by the incredible O’Shea Ryan Irish Dancers! 💚🕺

📅 Sunday 7th December
⏰ 6.30pm
📍 St Augustine’s, Church Street Wodonga

See poster for more details and scan the QR code to book your spot.

We’d love to see some of the Optimum family come along and support this special community night. If you need any more info, ring the clinic or give Joe a buzz on 0427 211 282.

If you’ve been around Optimum for a while, you’ll know Cassie – she’s been an incredible supporter of our clinic for over 10 years. 💙

🚴♂️💨 Morning commute, Optimum style!
Joe & Anna — physios, directors, and part-time “Kath & Kel” impersonators — cruising through the park on their bike ride to work this morning.

Pink jacket? ✔️
Helmet two sizes too big? ✔️
Still crazy after all these years? Absolutely ✔️✔️

There’s no better way to start the day than fresh air, a few laughs, and a ride with your favourite human.
Here’s to keeping it fun, keeping it moving, and keeping it very Optimum 💙✨

✨ Meet Deano – One of the Border’s True Legends ✨
If you’ve ever admired any of the signs around our clinic, chances are they were brought to life by Deano Azzi — our incredible sign writer who’s been looking after us for almost 10 years.
Deano is one of those people who makes every day better. He’s the guy who turns up at short notice, always has time for a chat, brings a genuine smile, and fills the place with good energy every time he walks through the door.
Over the years Deano has trusted us with looking after him too, and he’s absolutely flying at the moment — skipping every night, back on the bike, and hitting the slopes whenever the snow is good.
He recently came in to help us put up our new front-desk sign (you can see it in the video), and, as always, he did an amazing job.
Deano — thank you for everything you do.

Thanks for being an absolute champion of a human, a joy to have around, and hands down the best sign writer in Albury-Wodonga.
We’re lucky to know you. 🙌

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month — we pause to remember those who served and sacrificed for our freedom.
Lest we forget. ❤️🌺

Meet Andrew.

Andrew’s an active bloke who juggles full-time work as a surveyor, regular gym sessions, cycling, and being a dad to 4 kids! Around 6–8 months ago, after a PT session doing squats with his leg elevated he started with sore legs but then it got a bit worse on the left one.

There wasn’t a specific injury, just a dull ache that gradually crept in. Over time, that ache turned into sharp, stabbing pains that strike randomly when walking, standing, or even sitting. Recently, the pain became constant during walking, and Andrew developed a noticeable limp. Walking, climbing stairs, or even getting out of the car was setting it off.

When Andrew came to see us, we found signs of knee overload and irritation; nothing major, just the result of pushing through pain for a bit too long.

With some hands-on treatment, a targeted rehab plan, and guidance on how to load his knee safely, Andrew’s well on the way to recovery.

We’re stoked to help him get back to doing what he loves-cycling, skiing, and training pain-free.

Thanks for being a brilliant patient, Andrew – we’re thrilled to see how far you’ve come.

20yrs ago today was a very special occasion..Joe and Anna got hitched in Huddersfield, in the UK! The pic attached is of them spinning around the floor with their first dance to a tune called ‘All my life, I've been waiting for you’ by The Redstick Ramblers.

They’ve had an amazing journey together to get them to this point, have raised 4 beautiful kids, and created Optimum which has helped countless people in our community.

Thankyou for settling on the border and, congratulations from all of us here!

Please drop in a virtual high 5!!

Couldn't be prouder of our gun physio, Pilates team leader and all round legend..Kylie just knocked up 50 appearances for the green and gold!! Read her own words below and give her a massive virtual pat on the back!!...."I never thought I would play one game for Australia let alone 50, especially not a bogan from a country town who took up the sport because her Grandfather wanted to play. I know he would be smiling up there. It is an absolute honour to represent my country everytime I wear the uniform and play alongside absolute legends of the games. I am in awe everytime I step out on the green. Looking forward to what life has in store for me next 🙌💛💚🇦🇺❤️"
