25.01.2022 Well, our baby is all grown up!! Most of you would already know Kass, our Little Ray of Sunshine. Kass has been with our Hastings Physio family working as a runner after school and holidays for the past 2.5 years. Well, School’s all done and she’s all ours until she works out what she’s going to do in life. Be sure to come in and say hi and I guarantee she’ll bring some joy to your day

23.01.2022 A big thank you to all our generous patients and staff who have kindly spoilt little Ruby Belle with well wishes and gifts. It has been so appreciated by Guy and Rebecca. For the first time today we visited daddy at work and the team got some cuddles!

23.01.2022 Both our clinics are very proud of Tony, a super star patient (literally). Tony is a talented singer, entertainer, comedian () caring husband and father. He also has muscular dystrophy but that’s not stopping him living his best life. Tony is jet setting overseas next week and we couldn’t be more excited for him. Have fun from Physiotherapist Guy, Exercise Physiologist Erin and Occupational Therapist Rebecca. Our two clinics will be quiet without you Tone! Hastings Physio family

23.01.2022 Part of our role as an essential service is to help reduce the strain on our emergency departments. This is more important than ever. Physiotherapists can help with acute musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains, fractures requiring plaster and provide assistance with pain management for chronic and acute injuries.

19.01.2022 Physiotherapist Guy is now a dad and he has learnt a few new things on paternity leave: 1. A newborn eats more regularly than he does and we all know Guy eats a lot 2. His hands may not have been treating patients, but they were kept just as busy changing nappies! ... 3. Years of perfecting the burrito wrap has helped with the art of swaddling. 4. Ruby Belle our newest team member at Hastings Physio keeps falling asleep on the job but won’t sleep at night. Should have done a reference check 5. Our staff and patients are legends. Thank you all for the kind words and support these last few weeks.

Ailments like lower back pain and fluid retention can be managed, along with the release of stress and mental tension. ... To learn more about the benefits of pregnancy massage, read here- https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/pregnancy-massage If you would like to feel the benefits for yourself, give us a call and book a spot with our massage therapist, Brandon, to help you feel great.

17.01.2022 *Patient Spotlight with Kye Anderson Racing #64* Kye is an extreme enduro dirt bike racer who has been racing his way across Australia and around the world competing in some of the toughest and most extreme dirt bike races.

16.01.2022 Who remembers the good days where as kids, we spent endless hours playing outside on weekends and after school? The only rule was that we would have to come home when the street lights came on? I have no doubt that this unstructured outdoors play prompted us to think more creatively and to come up with our own solutions.... You might like to check out this article that shows that playing outdoors boosts children’s cognitive development and mental health. How can you encourage more outdoor play this weekend?

09.01.2022 Hastings Physio are so excited to welcome Brianna Seward, daughter of Paul Seward, who will be joining us for a five-week uni placement. Brianna is completing her final Physiotherapy Placement with us before graduating as a Physiotherapist later this year. Brianna has finished her three years of uni theory and already completed 25 weeks placement elsewhere so you can be assured she has a great base knowledge of physiotherapy and the musculoskeletal system. We also hear she ha...s achieved some pretty outstanding academic awards along the way. Many patients would recognise her name. Not only did Brianna use to work at the practice assisting the physiotherapist and on the desk four years ago, but Brianna has been a part of the Hasting Physio journey for a long time. Brianna's father Paul Seward founded Hastings Physio back in 1986, so it is safe to say Brianna has been around the practice more than most. Brianna will be treating patients from the 2nd November for a $5 donation. All proceeds will be going towards our patient, Tony Samuels', fundraising effort to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. To book an appointment with Brianna please call 6583 2111.

01.01.2022 IMPORTANT UPDATE from department of health WE ARE OPEN - Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Occupational Therapists and other allied health professionals can continue and are encouraged to continue face to face consultations at this stage. Key notes from live department of health update. Minister Hunt wants to ensure that face to face consultations with therapists continue where possible. Allied health remains an essential service.... As per guidelines, ensuring all therapists are well and patients are well during face to face consultations. Continue screening measures as per gov guidelines and checking if patients are feeling well / no contact with confirmed/suspected Covid-19. Minister Hunt doesn't want telehealth to be implemented in a way that leads to the closure of health services, especially in rural or remote areas. Many clients in marginalised populations will have difficulty accessing Telehealth and still require face to face consultations. The government are continuing to work with peak bodies around telehealth services and funding for patients to access Telehealth. Should allied health and NDIS providers still be condcucting home visits? Absolutely essential that we continue to provide essential services, particularly to keep people well and allowing them to function at home. Contine to be scrupulous with hand hygiene and wash hands between visits. Maintain 1.5m distance where possible. Ensure that clients are doing the same. If clients have symptoms, you should not be engaging with them. Allied health are requesting improved access to PPE. Global shortage of PPE to protect healthcare workers. More stock coming in to be distributed. Current guidelines recommend strict hand hygiene to be in place during face to face consultations. At the moment, the guidelines don't say to wear protective gear, but try to maintain the 1.5m physical distance where possible. Online training module on COVID-19 should be accessed by all healthcare workers.Takes 15-30minutes to be completed. Is allied health going to remain open after stage 3 lockdown? Not able to pre-empt what decisions will be made by the national cabinet. At the moment, it is essential that allied health continue services.

01.01.2022 Hastings Physio patient, Tony, lives with Muscular Dystrophy. Eighteen months ago, Tony hit rock bottom after having a severe fall that left him hospitalised. While laying flat on his back in the hospital, Tony made the decision to turn his life around and face his condition head-on. Tony began regular physiotherapy and exercise physiology sessions and took back control. As Tony heads towards his 60th birthday he has decided to walk 60km. For a man who, up until 12 months ago..., couldn't walk unassisted, this will be a massive achievement. A Fundraising page has been established in Tony's honour and you can donate online here: https://bit.ly/3l1U87f #mdnsw #musculardystrophy #musculardystrophynsw #portmacquarie
