22.01.2022 SHOES GLORIOUS SHOES As physiotherapists we spend all day on our feet, but we also have people staring at our feet majority of the day so we need something that not only is comfortable but a little nice to look at! We have lots of people wearing funky socks but my personal preference is funky soles!! My favourites are anything by Rollie - so lightweight and comfortable, or Frankie4 - physio & podiatrist designed with amazing hidden support (AND THEY DO HEELS TOO!!)

21.01.2022 Just a Monday Morning Shout Out to all our wonderful staff and patients. The sanitising, head gear and masks all doing their bit - as is your support during these testing times. Keep your masks up and your head held high - WE’VE GOT THIS

10.01.2022 Its quite possible this is an actual photo of me (if I were a man) have kids they say.....itll be fun they say! Happy weekend everyone, great to see you all back in the clinic - Paige

09.01.2022 WORKING FROM HOME? WELL DO WE HAVE SOME TIPS FOR YOU! (Because this photo is an example of TERRIBLE setup!) We have been seeing an increasing number of clients coming in with neck and shoulder complaints and often a contributing factor is a poor set up from home! Laptops and dining tables/chairs being the NO.1 culprit! ... MY TOP THREE TIPS 1. It is best to sit in a chair that can be unadjusted in height, lumbar support and tilt. 2. Try to have your monitor/ monitors higher so you dont need to lower your head to look at the screen 3. If using a laptop consider a wireless keyboard and mouse (this allows you to raise the screen without compromising your arm positioning. If you would like some more information we can tee up a real time Telehealth consultation to interactively set up your space. Email [email protected] for more information.
