All for One

It doesn't need to be perfect.

Say hello to Riley, one of the physios in our Kensington team.

Riley completed his Doctor of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne and has five years of experience treating the full range of musculoskeletal conditions, from the low back that flares up when you sit too long to the knee, hip, or ankle that's making training and sleeping harder than it needs to be. His approach is to work out what's actually driving the pain, not just where it shows up, then explain what he finds in plain language and give you a plan you can genuinely work with.

Riley's also a serious athlete himself, a marathon and ultra runner and Ironman finisher, so he understands the difference between a ni**le to train through and a signal to back off. He won't tell you to just stop moving if you've got a life you'd like to keep living.

Riley is at Kensington Monday to Thurs and Saturday morning.

This World Breastfeeding Week, we're shining a light on mastitis and the latest evidence to help separate outdated advice from current best practice.

Knee pain in runners is one of the most common issues our physios treat. It’s also one of the most misunderstood.

One of the biggest mistakes? Assuming you need to either push through the pain or stop running completely.

The truth is, neither is usually the answer.

Runner’s knee is often influenced by a combination of training load, strength, recovery and running mechanics. Understanding what’s driving your pain is the first step to getting back to running comfortably.

If your knee has been sore for a few runs, don’t wait until it forces you to stop training. Early assessment can often mean a quicker recovery and less time away from the sport you love.

Training for the Melbourne Marathon? Now is the time to address those ni**les.

Save this post for your next training block, or send it to a running mate who’s been complaining about their knees.

A big welcome to Steph, the newest physio on our Yarraville team.

Steph joins us with almost ten years of experience and a Doctor of Physiotherapy from the University of Melbourne. Most of that has been in private practice here in Melbourne, along with one very busy winter as the only physio at a ski resort in Japan.

She treats the full range of musculoskeletal and sports injuries, from the acute stuff to the stubborn, long-running problems other treatments haven't touched. She's skilled across clinical Pilates, dry needling, and manual therapy, with a real interest in how mobility and movement fit into getting you back to full strength.

We're really glad to have her on the team! If you're in the studio this week, say hi. And if you've been meaning to get something looked at, Steph has appointments open now. Link in bio to book.
