🌟 A Big Farewell to Our Lovely Emma! 🌟
This week we say a very sad (and very proud!) goodbye to our pocket rocket, Emma, as she heads off to uni. Many of our patients know her well — she’s been part of the family for years, and joined the practice over three years ago.

Since then, Emma has tirelessly helped, advised, listened, and brightened every day with her cheery smile. She’s been a constant source of kindness and calm for our wonderful patients and our whole team.

We’re wishing her every success as she begins her Physio Degree at CSU and continues on to what we know will be an incredible physio career. You’ve absolutely got this, Emma! 💛

Emma is pictured here with Lucy Ashton, who has also flown the nest to study in Melbourne. Best of luck to both girls in their studies — you’re going to be great! 🎓

Nutrition can play a vital role in post operative healing.

Visit our website for some nutritional information to optimise and help fast track healing.

When eating and drinking post surgery start slowly with small sips and light snacks to help avoid nausea and vomiting that can occur after anaesthesia and surgery.

Not to be deterred from the activity, it is still important to be aware of various scenarios that can impact on these injuries.

With the recent government announcements regarding elective surgery, some procedures will be recommencing next week and we will be in touch with all our patients with information and plans about your surgery specifically.

Please be assured that all procedures will be in line with the new updated government policies for surgery resumption. We understand the government will carry our another review in one months’ time for further lifting of surgical restrictions.

We understand that the delays and uncertainty at this time can be stressful but rest assured we are doing our utmost to ensure surgery is booked at the earliest possible time.

Please contact us if you need any more information.
