WA Health Group

Celebrating Jackie and Lynn on 10 wonderful years with WA Health Group Canning Vale’s Falls Class. What began as an exercise class has grown into something truly special, with genuine support, connection, and lasting relationships shared by an amazing group of women. A big thank you as well to Physiotherapist Kiara for leading the Balance Class and helping create such a safe and supportive environment.

At WA Health Group, we're committed to combining clinical expertise with the latest technology to help our clients achieve the best possible outcomes.

What is VALD Technology?

VALD technology is advanced movement testing equipment that measures your strength, balance and movement to identify problems, track your progress, and guide your treatment with the team at WA Health Group.

Recently, we welcomed Luke and Kyle from VALD for a hands-on training session with our allied health team. It was a fantastic opportunity to further develop our skills and ensure we're getting the most out of this world-class technology for every client we see.

By combining objective movement data with expert clinical assessment, we're able to:
✅ Identify weaknesses and movement limitations
✅ Track your progress with real measurements—not guesswork
✅ Personalise your rehabilitation and performance programs
✅ Help you return to work, sport and everyday life with confidence

We're proud to continue investing in the latest technology and ongoing professional development so we can provide the highest standard of care to our community.

Well done to Brett and Kiara at our Canning Vale clinic for hosting Hannah and Jacob during their Curtin University second-year physio assistant prac last month.

Did you always think Chiropractors and Physiotherapists didn't get along? 🤔

At WA Health Group, collaboration comes first.👥

Our Chiropractors, Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists work together to provide coordinated care that's tailored to your individual needs. By sharing knowledge and working as one team, we can help support you throughout your recovery and movement journey.

Come and experience the benefits of an allied health team working together.💪

Special thanks to Chenbo and Shilaine for delivering an excellent PD session for our team on strength and conditioning principles. It was a great practical application of current best practice, and we’re looking forward to applying some of that knowledge with our rehab patients this week.

Physiotherapists Reuben Fox and Chenbo Sun have been upskilled in whiplash management to support people with evidence-based care that considers the full picture of recovery. That means support for movement, function, and a clear, personalised plan to help you return to the activities that matter most.

If you’ve been experiencing neck pain, stiffness, headaches, or other symptoms after a road traffic accident, early support may help with symptom management and recovery.

A recent University of Queensland article highlights a more complete approach to whiplash care, recognising that recovery may be influenced by more than neck pain alone. Stress, sleep disruption, tension, difficulty driving again, and concerns about work or daily activities can all play a part in how someone feels and recovers.

Calling people with whiplash to trial new treatment A new whiplash treatment program which involves clinical psychologists training physiotherapists in new techniques is seeking participants for a clinical trial.

At Burswood Health part of WA Health Group, we’re passionate about continually learning so we can better support our patients in returning to the activities that matter most to them. Pain shouldn’t stop anyone from fully living!

We were thrilled to host Naomi Terpsis, Registered Psychologist from The Expansion Point, for an inspiring in-house session with our clinical team of physiotherapists and chiropractors. A massive thank you to Naomi and Reuben for organising this fantastic learning opportunity! 🙌

Naomi shared powerful insights into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and its application in pain psychology. We explored:
- Why traditional CBT sometimes falls short
- The important purpose pain can play
- How to help patients accept and effectively manage pain rather than endlessly chase complete elimination
- Practical techniques like creative hopelessness and reflective listening
- The power of aligning treatment with each patient’s personal values and meaningful life goals

By better understanding the psychological and emotional side of pain, our team is even more equipped to support you with compassion, curiosity, and real-world strategies that help you move forward.

If pain has been holding you back, know that we’re here — committed to helping you reconnect with what matters most in your life.
