25.01.2022 Today's #fridayfunny is what I was supposed to share last Friday! Thanks to past Empower star and developing #dadjoke specialist Erin Diamond for the forward :)

25.01.2022 Shout out to Kieran Richardson from Global Specialist Physiotherapy for an awesome Professional Development session last week! As part of the Empower Team's commitment to providing the very best evidence based care to our clients, we've engaged Global to run monthly PD sessions, and have already started implementing some of what Kieran shared in our first session. Already looking forward to the next!

25.01.2022 As much as pregnancy and childbirth are amazing gifts, they often come with some less desirable impacts as well - back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome or pelvic floor issues among others. Fortunately, evidence based help is at hand! If you or someone you care about might be interested in finding out how to minimise the risk of succumbing to these issues, or how to manage them, the physios at Empower are all keen to help! ... https://choose.physio/pregnancy

24.01.2022 Great idea from our awesome admin team leader Viv today - focus on 3 things you're grateful for! This is one thing I'm grateful for - having the opportunity to work with a couple of deadset legends through this crisis... one almost back to sport after his ACL recon failed, and one young (well...younger than me) buck who has recently had a hip replacement, but is (was) back to playing soccer. Both squatting 140kg today, and continuing to kill the agility and plyo work.... Scott and Dan - I appreciate you guys!

23.01.2022 We're BAAAAACK! :) To celebrate that we've reached a point where restrictions are being eased again, Empower are shouting everyone who attends their exercise rehab session this week a coffee (or tea) and a treat from our awesome friends at Tube Coffee Kingsley. Not only have this crew kept us fueled up with great coffee, tea, and banana bread (that will forever be a rare highlight for me of COVID-19 lockdown), but Mark and his team have also been a reassuring presence as w...e navigated our way through uncharted territory. To contain the chaos, vouchers will have to be used this week, and there is a limit of one voucher per Empower client, even if you decide to attend 2 sessions per day ;) Enjoy!

23.01.2022 To those past and present who have served, to those who have supported them or have experienced loss through that service, the entire Empower Family sends you our gratitude for what you have sacrificed. The Empower Team would also like to say how much we value the privilege of being able to work alongside so many of those who have served - and today is a day that the bad jokes we tell each other can be paused for just a second, and we can proudly say how much we appreciate each and every one of you. Lest we forget.

22.01.2022 COMPLETELY BACK!!! Mike's excited, and so are we! We have confirmation that our THURSDAY 7am-8am Sports Specific Rehab Sessions are back on at HBF Arena Joondalup..... Have been reigning in too many athletes who needed to be on court, and can't wait to get them back in their natural environment! Remember - discounts apply for all Wanneroo Basketball Association players, with 50% for Joondalup WABL athletes. This marks the final stage in our return to normal business activity since we first had to advise some of our clients to self-isolate. Feel great to be back in the groove - thanks WA!!

22.01.2022 Join us in wishing Thomas and Caitlin amazing weather for Sunday, and a lifetime of shared happiness when they tie the knot in just 3 sleeps!

21.01.2022 Happiest of Happy Birthdays to Empower's Manager Timothy Henry! Handsome, hirsute, and morally flexible - Tim is without a doubt a legend in every sense of the word. And he's now officially an elder statesman :) HBD mate!

20.01.2022 Happy Friday everyone! Have an awesome weekend! :)

18.01.2022 Today's #Fridayfunny = #linguistichumour. Have an awesome long weekend everyone!

18.01.2022 Today's #fridayfunny inspired by everyone's favourite move genre... zombie flix! Free 30 minute massage to the person who can guess my favourite zombie movie - or the person that chooses one high on my list :) Have an awesome weekend all!

17.01.2022 And the reason for the bounty of #fridayfunnies this morning is this absolute gem from repeat contributor (or should that be offender?) Scott - a true #dadjoke Jedi. Have an awesome Friday, followed by an even more awesome weekend!

16.01.2022 The first of 2 #Fridayfunnies this morning - this one from our good friends over at Steve Jackson Podiatry. #Dadjokes just get funnier when they apply to your own vocational pursuits, don't you think? ;)

15.01.2022 And a new champ has been crowned! A tiny bit of youth on his side has helped this Empower poster boy add almost another minute on to the Empower planking challenge record. Dan Vlahov - U DA MAN!... Paul Davies - don't let this stand for long!

14.01.2022 Today's #fridayfunny inspired by a love of astronomy (and beer...) #dadjokes Have a great Friday and an awesome weekend everyone!

14.01.2022 Today's #Fridayfunny #dadjoke brought you in the interest of spreading the history of science. You can thank me later. Have an awesome weekend everyone!

14.01.2022 So I went and saw this past Empower legend in his new digs yesterday :) Great facility, great location, and the same awesome human being and physio, even if he's wearing a different jumper! If you know anyone looking for a fantastic physio around Banks Ave near Whitfords shops - they will not regret checking out Dave @ Proactive Physio. No surprises that he still won't smile into a camera for me!

13.01.2022 Todays #fridayfunnies make this Dad proud of team mates stepping up to the plate: From Tom: What do you call a Labrador that performs magic tricks?... . . . . . A Labracadabrador :) And then this gem from Tim: Jase (on returning Tim's phone to him): "Looks like there are some missed calls here from Warwick Police Station." (worthy of #dadjoke status, before being blown out of the water...) . . . . .Tim: "Yeah, it's probably about all those hearts I stole" BOOM! Sometimes I look at the next generation and think, "there's still hope" :) :) :) Have a great weekend all!

13.01.2022 Today's #Fridayfunny is a video combo of 2 of my favourite things - bloopers, music, and video editing... and just in case you thought that my own numerical blooper wasn't planned, here's a #dadjoke courtesy of my son Matthew, another aspiring #dadjoke specilialist: Did you hear about the mathematician who hated negative numbers? . .... . . . . . He'd stop at nothing to avoid them! Have an awesome weekend everyone!

10.01.2022 If you're like us, you are more than excited at the return to community sport! But... if you're like most of us, your sporting load has had to take a backward step during the past months, leaving you at an increased risk of sustaining injury. The 2 keys to mitigating this risk: ... undertake an appropriate neuromuscular injury prevention and performance enhancement program at least twice per week, and make sure you increase your workload gradually, giving your body time to adapt and be ready to meet the full demands of your sport. If you want any advice specific to your sport, and your body, hit us up!

09.01.2022 Happiest of happy birthday's to Empower's energetic star, Tala Olins-Miller! Tala - your energy, optimism, and laughter throughout the past few months have made navigating this whole COVID thing a lot less like a terrible journey, and much more like an adventure obstacle course (or a colour run)! We love having you in our team - thanks for being you!

09.01.2022 53 hours and counting until bouncedown for the 2021 season. Get in before Jase starts to dominate!

We're happy to take the payment over the phone, and can post out the voucher with a nice card for you to write if you're unable to get to the clinic.... Don't wait!!!

08.01.2022 Are you a runner?? Great little article outlining some of the myths of this uber-addictive hobby/sport/lifestyle! As with most activities, at the right loads - running is fantastic for the body and the mind. At the wrong loads, it's fantastic for supporting physiotherapy businesses ;)

08.01.2022 Today's #dadjoke courtesy of Empower Legend, Remedial Massage Therapist, and Practice Manager - Ben Evers. Have an awesome weekend all!!!

07.01.2022 #Fridayfunny #dadjokes Have an awesome weekend!!!!

07.01.2022 First #fridayfunny in a while, this one courtesy of former Empower star Erin Diamond :) Not only a #dadjoke, but also #physiohumour!

07.01.2022 The Empower Team Wants to Say Thank You! To celebrate Victoria's 10th consecutive "double donut" COVID day, and in gratitude for how well our WA community continues to do, the Empower team wants to say a huge thank you to those essential workers who helped us through WA's own uncertain times! If you were an essential worker in any field - health, education, policing... anything at all that had you out and interacting with the public - we invite you to take advantage of a half... price offer for any remedial massage booked between now and the end of November. That's a ridiculous $25 for a half hour massage, or only $42.50 for a full 60 minute session! Our brilliant Remedial Massage duo of Ben and Linda can't wait to thank you in person - if you want to take advantage of this offer, either comment "Lockdown Legends" below, or contact our admin team on 9309 5353 to book your appointment using the same code!

06.01.2022 To servicemen and women past and present, and the families and friends that support them, thank-you.

06.01.2022 I thought perhaps my Jeffrey Dahmer joke was little too dark for this early on a Friday morning (apart from the fact that I've told it to every person I've seen this week - as willing or unwilling that audience might have been ;)), so instead, a classic #dadjoke for our #fridayfunny! Have an awesome Friday and an even better weekend everyone!

06.01.2022 We're seeing a lot of clients with increased neck and back pain as a result of changing work habits over the course of this (COVID impacted) year. So what's the fix? HINT - it's not trying to find the "perfect posture" or the perfectly designed ergonomic workplace! Get moving people! :)

05.01.2022 4 MINUTE PLANK! The gauntlet has officially been thrown!! Long term Empower Family member and absolute legend, Paul Davies, recently saw a list of scores for our Men's Health Plank Challenge, and proceeded to demolish them all!... Holding a standard plank for 4 minutes and 1 second, all while the rest of the group played their coits challenge over the top of him, Paul was even gracious enough to pose for this triumphant photo with his crown of coits. Awesome effort Paul! Anyone got next????

04.01.2022 A little late to post this morning...but sometimes the hesitation before the punchline adds to the humour... Today's #fridayfunny: Have an awesome weekend everyone!!!

04.01.2022 Confused about exercise during and after pregnancy? Courtesy of the Australian Physiotherapy Association, this article details five evidence-based points to best guide you to access the benefits of exercise during and after pregnancy! If you need any personalised advice, or want professional physio supervision in a friendly environment with access to Clinical Pilates, Strength, Hydrotherapy or Cardio training - you know who to call!

03.01.2022 Knee Pain??? Courtesy of The Strength PTs - summarising newly published results adding to the already strong body of evidence that tells us that in patients with degenerative meniscal tears: Partial arthroscopic menisectomy provided no more benefit for knee symptoms or function than placebo surgery, as well as increasing radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis 5 years later!... But all is not lost! Of the multitude of interventions we have trialled for treatment of degenerative knee osteoarthritis, TWO options continue to demonstrate strong evidence of benefit (and they don't require a lot of $$$ or a stay in hospital): Exercise and Weight Loss It sounds too good to be true, but I assure you it is! If you need help getting started, get in touch with us - click on the BOOK NOW button, or call us on 9309 5353. Expert advice and guidance, Home Exercise Programs, Hydrotherapy, and an onsite Rehabilitation Gym means Empower has you covered regardless of what level you find yourself at.

03.01.2022 Today's #Fridayfunny courtesy of Empower Legend Paul, who in recent weeks has allowed his #dadjokes free to bring more joy into the world :) Why is it traditionally accepted that a scuba diver will enter the water from the boat by falling backwards? . .... . . . . . Because if they fell forward they'd still be in the boat!! BOOM! Have an awesome weekend everyone!

03.01.2022 Now it's more important than ever - whether you are self isolating, walking with kids and pets, continuing your rehab at Empower, or joining one of our new Telehealth group sessions - exercise is a key component in optimising physical and mental health; and in fighting off infection!!! If you want some advice, encouragement, or options - get in touch! The need for social distance does not mean you have to tackle these challenges alone!

03.01.2022 Great story courtesy of 7.30 on ABC detailing increasing evidence that surgery is often not the answer for those with chronic back pain. Professor Ian Harris is an Australian orthopaedic surgeon who has spoken many times on the need for our health intervention choices (and funding!) to be guided by the best possible evidence rather than anecdotes. With regard to back pain, he says, "...There is evidence that a structured physical therapy program ... is as good as spine fusio...n for people with chronic low back pain.' Unfortunately, both our private and public funding still preferentially subsidises the more invasive surgical options at the cost of cheaper alternatives - such as physiotherapy and exercise. At the very least, we need to continue to get the message out to everyone: your back is durable and adaptable, and in the majority of cases your recovery can be achieved without surgery! Feel free to contact us at the clinic if you're interested in finding out what an evidence based approach to managing back pain looks like!

01.01.2022 Today's #fridayfunny is just more #dadjoke comedy gold :) Have an awesome weekend everyone!

01.01.2022 Better late than never, today's #dadjoke and #fridayfunny bought to you by Scott. Please note that this physio has been extremely concerned by the proportion of our clientele who have NOT seen the movie ET, and do not know who/what ET looks like. This is a pre-requisite for recognising the comedy gold that follows: What is ET short for?... . . . . . . Scroll down... . . . . . . . Because he has such little legs! BOOM! Enjoy your weekend everyone!
