Our bodies were not designed to sit at desks for hours every day. They were designed to move constantly in a variety of different ways.

Unfortunately, most of us can’t change jobs just to suit the body’s preferences! But you can find little ways to move more frequently throughout your day.

You could:
- Take the stairs
- Go for a short walk on your breaks
- Take a walk around the office every hour or two to get the blood pumping
- Walk to the printer instead of getting someone to fetch it for you!

We've moved to Boronia AND done a rebrand, and managed to confuse Google!!

So, Google are still trying to figure out how to update our address, despite multiple verification attempts.

We have made sure all our confirmation emails, reminder emails, and reminder texts include our NEW address, which is:

197 Scoresby Road, Boronia VIC 3155

Thankfully only a few people have gone to the wrong address, but please keep in mind if you rely on GPS for directions to our clinic that Google Maps listing for Simple Wellness is currently not updated!!

We also have a new phone number, since we couldn't take our old one with us. You can now phone the clinic and speak with Tessa, our AI receptionist, on 03 7057 3070.
Sarah and I can't always get to the phone while we're treating patients, so Tessa will be able to help create a booking, change or cancel a booking, and answer many of our frequently asked questions must faster than waiting on a call back.

We have also made a 2 step SMS reminder process, which means you'll get a reminder 2 days prior to your next appointment to give plenty of time to change without late notice fees if your plans have changed, as well as your usual day before reminder.

More updates will come soon(ish) about our new location and rebranded clinic.

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳?
Don't forget to rest the injured area, this can minimise the fluid retention and ease any pain you might experience.
Elevation is also a good idea for minor injuries such as sprains and twisted ankles.

There is a bit of debate out there about whether heat or ice is best for an injury.
Ice is useful for reducing pain sensitivity and fluid retention, while on the other hand, if there is pain without any swelling, a heat pack or warm bath might help increase blood flow to the area and reduce pain.

- Joint mobilisation
- Taping to gently support the injured body part
- Massage, dry needling and trigger point therapy for surrounding areas that cop the load while you’re unable to use the injured part properly

Physios are legends when it comes to rehab. Seriously. But here's the thing—most of the time, they're not doing a lot of hands-on work.

Discover how adding hands-on work could give you additional benefits, whether it's longer-lasting relief, faster improvement, or just a more complete picture of what's happening.
