Have you been experiencing lower back pain?

🎙️Our Director and Physiotherapist, Reyne Black, recently joined John on his Good Health program to chat all things lower back pain; why it happens, what can contribute to it, and most importantly, what you can do about it.

Lower back pain can be frustrating and debilitating, but you don’t have to simply put up with it.

Now in its 14th year on air, Good Health covers a wide range of health and wellbeing topics, with a focus on providing practical, informative conversations with local guests and health professionals.

Each week, John shares a new discussion, so be sure to follow Good Health to listen to previous interviews, or tune in live to Great Lakes FM 101.5FM every Wednesday at 11:15am.

If you, or someone you know, are struggling with back pain, physiotherapy can be an important part of managing your pain, improving your movement and getting you back to doing the things you enjoy.

Shoulder care 💪

Our Clinic Director & Senior Physiotherapist, Reyne, was back in the learning zone on Monday, attending a one-day workshop hosted by The University of Newcastle, Australia Department of Rural Health in Taree.

‘The Complete Shoulder’ was led by highly experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist and shoulder pain researcher Dr Jared Powell PhD, the course focused on using the best available evidence to navigate the often-messy reality of shoulder pain and help clinicians make better decisions for individual patients.

The workshop covered:
💪🏼 Rotator cuff pathology without myths
🔎 Getting the patient interview and physical examination right
🩻 Imaging and special tests: how to use them properly
💉 Making informed treatment decisions: surgery, injections or exercise?

We’re incredibly grateful for UON bringing high-quality professional opportunities like this to our region. This is a huge benefit for our profession, and ultimately, the patients we care for.
