I am not sure how out of touch an Association can be.

Reason #23 why I am NOT a member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

We’ve heard your feedback regarding the Medibank member benefit announcement and want to thank everyone who has shared their views. We understand that many members felt this arrangement was inconsistent with our advocacy for fair physiotherapy rebates.

We acknowledge this concern and have made the decision to cease offering the Medibank member benefit effective immediately. See our full response in the thread below.

The APA remains firmly committed to listening, learning, and acting on member feedback, and our focus continues to be on strong advocacy for fair recognition and sustainable funding for physiotherapy services.
_______________________________________________________________________

The APA is excited to announce our partnership with Medibank 🤝

Taking care of our members matters to us, which is why we’re proud to offer eligible APA members a 9% discount on Medibank Corporate health cover. Giving you and your family access to health cover for a range of needs and budgets.

Medibank has recently launched new Hospital and Extras Cover, bringing you even more value than before. It’s simple and easy to switch, and you generally won’t need to re-serve any waiting periods you have already served on comparable covers.

🤷‍♂️It will always amaze me that people will go through a major bit of surgery like an ACL replacement, often at great expense, and then opt for a cheap rehab option because the person looks good.

🔥Truth is, many of these online coaches have a rehab protocol that sucks:
🔴No objective testing
🔴Time-based progressions
🔴Strength based but with little to no plyometrics or change of direction work
🔴Inability to detect / manage problems if they arise
🔴 Don't follow any of the established, quality protocols

❗A sh*tty ACL rehab increases your chances of a retear and/or of not making a successful return to sport. Is that really the outcome you are after?

💸You get what you pay for, so choose a rehab professional who:
✅Uses a world class protocol
✅Has experience in successfully rehabbing ACL repairs
✅Has the training and experience to recognise and manage issues if they arise
✅Can refer back if there is the need
✅Uses objective testing to guide progressions
✅Includes plyometric work, change of direction, running and sport-specific skills
✅Uses a comprehensive return to sport testing regime to clear you to return to sport

❗ Here we use VALD performance Force Decks and DynaMo to provide objective test data, and the Melbourne 2.0 protocol for ACL rehabilitation.

▶ If your ACL surgery rehab is not progressing or does not have al the above in place, contact via DM or make a booking on the website. Telehealth consultations are available!

🔶 If pain, injury or limited movement is stopping you from doing the things you enjoy, then contact the clinic to arrange an assessment consultation where you can be assessed and have a treatment plan developed.

Imagine if the NSW Government could pay health staff as well as they pay tradies on infrastructure projects.

This offer is a major next step in rebuilding a supported and capable workforce and repairing our state’s healthcare. 🔨❤️‍🩹

We abolished the wages cap, established a new bargaining framework and are working to fix recruitment and retention.

We know that more health staff means lower wait times and better health outcomes – it’s as simple as that.

❓Why should I do prehab for my knee if I have an ACL injury?
❓ Why is 3 months of prehab prior to surgery or the decision to have surgery considered best practice?

1️⃣To decrease the inflammation and swelling in the knee. Remember, surgery is another trauma to the knee.
2️⃣To maintain or build up muscle, especially the quads. Quads muscle wasting occurs after an ACL injury, due to the pain and swelling.
3️⃣Regain a full range of movement.
4️⃣Reduce pain.
5️⃣Regain or improve proprioception in the knee. A torn ACL means there is a reduction in the proprioceptive input from the knee.
6️⃣Instil confidence in the knee. One of the biggest issues after an ACL injury is the patient losing confidence in their knee, preventing a return to sport.
7️⃣Produce a stable knee. This is the ultimate aim of prehab, to allow the patient to then decide if surgery is really required or if they can continue with conservative management.

🔴Not all ACL tears require surgery, and surgery is not right for everyone.

❗DM or book an assessment if you have had an ACL injury and:
▶want some advice
▶if your rehab isn't progressing
▶want to start some prehab

✅Telehealth consultations are available!
