25.01.2022 IMPORTANT NEWS: When life hands you lemons... Well you make lemon tea cake of course With all the new measures the govt has brought in we're now CLOSED INDEFINITELY.

23.01.2022 All my patients know how vigilant I am with checking their bodies for melanoma and skin cancers whilst I massage. Please if you have not had a skin check in the last 12 months, please go and get one. Life is too precious. If you're not sure where to go in Townsville...I recommend Dr Vicky Stonehouse at Northern Skin Studio.

22.01.2022 So you may be wondering what we've been doing behind the scenes during these health restrictions? We've been searching every avenue to re-open!! After mass phone calls and numerous letters requesting an exemption, all sent directly to Dr Jeanette Young and Qld Health, we've received nothing but rejection. There's no health reason for our medical based therapeutic massage clinic to be denied opening simply because we do not align with health funds. ... After contacting John Hathaway (LNP candidate for Townsville in the upcoming state election), he was able to present our plight to the LNP and it caught the attention of Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington and Deputy Opposition Leader Tim Mander. We were honoured to have them all visit our clinic in Townsville, discuss our plight and form a plan. Over the last week they have presented Deputy Premier and Health Minister Steven Miles with letters of support from patients in acute pain, from Dr David Leach and a letter of recommendation from Shadow Health Minister Ros Bates MP advocating for us to re-open, especially since waxing and tattooing are permitted. Many thanks also goes to the patients who took the time to write letters to Deb Frecklington outlining the therapeutic work we do and the impact on their lives since the forced closure of our clinic. It's been truly heartbreaking to hear of your suffering and loss of lifestyle. As yet, we are still waiting to hear a response but we will continue to press onwards with the vision to re-open ASAP. With the continued support of the LNP advocating on our behalf to the Health Minister, we hope we can bring you good news very soon. Salve If you'd like to contact John Hathaway...here's his details. https://www.facebook.com/JohnHathawaySERVINGTOWNSVILLE/ If you'd like to contact Deb Frecklington... here's her details. https://www.facebook.com/DebFrecklingtonMP/

21.01.2022 Have a wonderful Easter. Salve reopens on Tuesday 23rd April.

21.01.2022 We may have needed to close our business temporarily due to COVID-19 safe distancing policy...but patient community spirit soars high. Thank you to our beloved patients who have called, dropped off pies, coffee and French designed interior decorations for the clinic. Feeling the love and was great to see your smiling faces ... from a safe distance of course!

19.01.2022 Great news for all our EXISTING chiropractic patients! Dr David Leach has confirmed his next 4 visit dates to our clinic. Dates now opened for bookings include: Wednesday 28th August... Wednesday 25th September Wednesday 30th October Wednesday 27th November. Please avail yourselves to our online booking system to book a treatment. Should you be a new patient and desire a chiropractic treatment, please message/phone or text us to arrange an initial appointment.

17.01.2022 We finally have news... This morning we received a letter from Qld Health replying to our exemption request from 3 weeks ago. Jeanette Young has declined our request for exemption to re-open. She is refusing an exemption to all Qld massage therapists who do not meet all three criteria in the latest health direction. As we do not align with health funds, we are unable to re-open. At this stage we have exhausted all avenues to gain permission to re-open. Under the health direc...tion it is unclear what date we can expect to be permitted to re-open for business. Please be assured we have everything ready for your treatments ie: full PPE, COVID SAFE plan, sanitiser etc and fully compliant with industry COVID standards. If you're feeling disappointed with this result...we are too. Devastated in fact. Should you wish to challenge this decision by Qld Health (Jeanette Young) and formally lodge a complaint, you can call them on 13 74 68 and request an email address to submit your request for us to re-open. Thank you for your continued phone calls, loyalty and support through this event. We will conquer this! Salve

13.01.2022 FOOTBALL AND BRAIN DISEASE: A startling new study has found the brain disease CTE in 110 out of 111 NFL players’ brains -- (tap or click the video for audio of this report) More info on this study: http://nbcnews.to/2uy4kvm Our Australian friends love playing sport. ... When it was confirmed after the recent death of NRL player Steve Folkes, that he was the first recognised Australian player to have CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) from concussion and head clashes, Australia is sitting up and taking notice knowing we are headed for the fate of what has come to light in NFL in America.

12.01.2022 REMINDER: Hi everyone. Confirming there is NO chiropractic clinic tomorrow (20th March) due to Dr Leach unable to fly up from Brisbane and Nada's ongoing recovery from hand surgery. Texts were sent out to all patients on Monday advising of the cancellation and new chiropractic clinic date of Wednesday 3rd April. There are still a few spaces on the 3rd April for existing chiropractic patients to have an adjustment. If you'd like one, please book online or call our clinic duri...ng normal business hours. Enjoy the rain and have a great week. Salve.

11.01.2022 Exciting news to celebrate !! We can re-open on noon this Friday It's been a long wait enduring through the restrictions. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Many people have advocated for an earlier re-opening and supported our plight for a written exemption. Even though stage 3 restrictions have lifted allowing us to work, the battle to acquire essential service status continues...especially with a second wave and further restrictions possible in the future.... Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington, Deputy Opposition Leader Tim Mander, Shadow Health Minister Ros Bates, Townsville City State Candidate John Hathaway, Federal MP Phillip Thompson and the CCIQ continue to pressure Health Minister Steven Miles and CHO Jeanette Young to provide the exemption. My unending thanks and gratitude to all of them for their support and advocacy during the last 13 weeks. There will be a few changes in the clinic with COVID compliance. Your reminder emails to confirm your appointments will outline the changes and the health checks we must make before you enter the clinic. But for now it's time to celebrate and start calling everyone on the waitlist (over 500 ). All your postponed appointments, texts, emails, phone calls and FB messages requesting appointments have all been recorded in date order. We've started calling the first 50 today and will hopefully be contacting everyone else in the next week. Stay by your phones!! Can't wait to see you soon. Salve

11.01.2022 Hold the phone! It appears we MAY be able to open from the 15th May. There has been a lot of chatter about the easing of restrictions today after the Premier of Qld has announced the 3 step plan to the 'new normal'. We will once again be seeking clarification from Qld Health before we confirm a definite re-opening date. ... Fingers crossed we get the green light Keep an eye out for an update before Wednesday next week. As promised, all patients will be advised of an official re-opening date via a personal email. Thank you for your continued patience, support and regular contact. Salve

11.01.2022 We miss you! You may have heard yesterday that certain massage companies may reopen. We'd like to say that's us but unfortunately we have not been included in this group. One of the requirements is the massage company must be aligned with health funds. As you all know we do not do this and all treatments are full out of pocket expense. We are eager to recommence treatments and have been in talks with Qld Health this morning to seek an exemption as the work we provide is medi...cal and critical to our patients mobility and working capabilities. Stay tuned for further updates over the next few days. Sending love to you all through this frustrating time. Salve

09.01.2022 UPDATE: After further discussions with the Qld Govt, they are still holding the position that we can't reopen as we do not align with health funds. No one in the government will detail an expected date for lifting the ban and no exemptions in our field are allowed. Hang in there!! We know you're in pain and needing our treatments. Anyone who has contacted us through the business closure has been placed on a waitlist. ... Keep watching for another update for when we can officially reopen. With every day passing the reopening draws closer. A HUGE thank you to everyone for your unending support, kind messages and patience during this event. Salve

07.01.2022 Tick, tock, tick, tock... Yes we're still waiting for Qld Health to contact us regarding our application for exemption so we may open our doors. More phonecalls today resulted in the same response. They agree we are medical in service but we have to wait for CHO Jeanette Young to personally make a decision on whether we can re-open. Of course more 'promises' of escalating our case to her office were given yet again ... We know you're in acute pain and desperate for treatment. Thank you all for your phone calls, texts, emails and continued support and loyalty. Hang in there everyone. More updates will be provided as we progress through this saga. Salve

06.01.2022 We're still waiting.... Qld Health (Dr Jeanette Young) has had our written exemption submission for a week now. We have not received any calls or emails to advise their position on our company reopening. Today they'll be more calls and discussions to acquire an answer. Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer ... Salve

03.01.2022 IMPORTANT NOTICE: 1. Salve will be closed for 2 weeks 2. Chiropractic clinic cancelled for Wednesday 25th March.... The Association of Massage Therapists has advised all Australian massage therapy businesses to shut down for a period of 2 weeks to help contain the spread of COVID-19. Over the next 2 weeks we had approximately 150 patients booked for rehabilitation massages and/or Gonstead treatments. These treatments would consist of close contact over a greater period than 15mins placing therapists at high risk of becoming vectors for transmission of COVID-19. Many of our patients are elderly and others with immunosuppressive conditions. Our priority with all treatments is to 'first do no harm'. Considering this, the current shortage of masks available for protective measures and cancelled flights from Brisbane to Townsville for Dr Leach, our business will be closed until 9am Thursday 2nd April. Many of you have already received a personal call to advise of the closure and we are actively continuing to phone patients who have booked treatments within this closure time frame. Once we have reopened, our aim will be to rebook everyone as timely as possible. Thank you for your continued support and understanding throughout this situation. Should you have any concerns please call us on 0402089413. Wishing you all remain healthy and continue to assist others in the community during this pandemic. We're eager to see your smiling faces when we reopen on the 2nd April. Salve

02.01.2022 IMPORTANT NOTICE! Due to the Corona Virus outbreak it is very important as a small business that we implement a strict clinic policy/procedure regarding sickness as advised by the World Health Organization and newly released Australian health protocols. Please contact us immediately to reschedule your appointment if:... you have recently returned from an international flight or you have any flu-like symptoms such as; coughing, sore throat, fever, fatigue or shortness of breath. We also ask that you refrain from making any appointments at the clinic within 14 days of having these symptoms. There will be no cancellation fees for those who need to cancel their appointment. Every attempt will be made to fit you back in as soon as possible when you are back to full health. Take care & be vigilant for onset of symptoms. You’re doing your body a favour as well as ours Thankyou, Salve

02.01.2022 Update: it breaks my heart to tell you... We're still not allowed to open Qld Health are still holding firm that we cannot re-open as we do not align with health funds. This is beyond a joke. Piercings for aesthetic purposes, tattoos and facials are all permitted yet we've been denied again.... There is no health or scientific evidence to support their decision. Please feel free to call and lodge a complaint with Qld Health on 137468. Dr Leach and other medical practitioners have been phoning and requesting a change in their ruling. At this stage Qld Health are suggesting we can open when stage 3 restrictions are lifted...July 11. Hang in there. We can't wait to finally re-open and help you out of pain. Again we appreciate all your messages of support and care. You're the best! Salve

01.01.2022 Easter is here!! Wishing all of our wonderful patients a Happy Easter. Even though isolation rules prohibit us from going to Easter church services, our big family gatherings or holidaying in our favourite locations, remember the true meaning of Easter and love the ones you're with at home.... Sending love and 'virtual massages' to each and every one of you. Salve

01.01.2022 Merry Christmas to all our wonderful patients. Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. . Our clinic will be closed from Monday 23rd December 2019 and reopen on Friday 3rd January 2020. Bookings in the New Year can be made on-line through our Facebook page during the clinic closure. Spaces are already limited in January. So if you're needing an early 2020 massage treatment, you might want to book in asap.... Safe travels and enjoy the festive season. Nada xo
