According to our clients’ kids…

We’ve heard some pretty funny theories about cupping circles over the years. Here are a few of Myo Megan’s favourite tall stories… 🤣

First marathon… and casually made it a World Major 🏃‍♂️

Huge effort from Osteo Dave, taking on the Sydney Marathon over the weekend and finishing in 3:38:40… well under his sub-4 hour goal!

Dave ran as a charity runner with the Tri Mob squad and felt unstoppable until about the 28–29km mark… then the real mental game started.

Running over the Harbour Bridge was pretty special, but the unexpected highlight was hitting the Pride Party at Taylor Square. Dave hadn’t really reviewed the course beforehand, so had no idea it was coming… exactly the energy boost he needed for those final kilometres.

Even better getting to support the other TRIMOB runners as they crossed paths throughout the race.

Pretty bloody impressive, Dave. We’re proud of you!

🏊 1,650km down the Darling River…

On 1 September, Scott Gladman will set off from Brewarrina to swim the entire length of the Darling River, aiming to reach Wentworth on 12 December.

Scott is taking on this incredible world-first challenge to support his mates and families impacted by MND, PSP and Parkinson’s.

It’s a huge feat… more than 100 days on the river, swimming around 16km a day through some of the most remote parts of regional Australia.

From all of us at Central Mallee Health, we wish Scott all the very best as he takes on Fight the Current.

Please follow Scott along his journey, donate where you can, share his story and get behind this incredible effort.

We’ll certainly be cheering him on from the Mallee. 🏊

Tooleybuc farmer Scott Gladman will swim the Darling River to raise vital awareness.

A pretty special couple of days at CMH. 🙏

🌸 We recently welcomed Dr Rose Wade to Swan Hill for a visiting pelvic health osteopathy clinic, bringing a skillset to the Mallee that isn’t readily accessible locally.

Rose supported people of all ages with bladder and bowel concerns, scar treatment, postpartum care, birth preparation, pregnancy related pain, coccyx pain and persistent pelvic pain.

The impact went well beyond the appointments themselves.

For some, it was understanding that persistent symptoms can be addressed and are worth seeking help for. For others, it was having access to someone who works specifically in this area without travelling several hours.

There is something important in rural healthcare about being able to meet a practitioner in your own community. That face-to-face connection can build trust and confidence in seeking further care, whether that means travelling to Melbourne, continuing through Telehealth, or being supported locally between appointments.

Having Rose here also gave our team the opportunity to learn, ask questions and better understand pelvic health, what we can support locally, when someone should be referred and where those referral pathways exist.

We can’t provide every service every day in the Mallee, but we can build relationships with great practitioners, bring them to our community where possible, strengthen our local knowledge and make sure people have trusted referral options when they need specialised care.

Word of mouth travels quickly in rural communities, and the response to Rose’s visit showed the interest and need in this space.

A huge thank you to Rose for making the early morning trip from Melbourne, sharing your knowledge with our team and providing such thoughtful care to everyone who came through the clinic.

We’re excited to keep learning in this space and explore what better access to this care can look like. 💙

From Swan Hill to La Trobe Shepparton… 🌾

After hosting the PACE-RURAL practical workshop at CMH on Thursday, Osteopaths Maddie and Dave hit the road to represent CMH at the Victorian Implementation Workshop at La Trobe University’s Shepparton campus on Friday.

CMH recruited 18 participants into the PACE-RURAL trial, so it’s great to now be moving into the implementation phase and seeing what this can look like in practice.

More than 30 rural and regional clinicians came together for a hands-on day, working through shared-care sessions between clinicians and specialist practitioners to help improve outcomes for rural patients.

Two days. Two regional locations. Plenty of learning, collaboration and shared ideas.

Pretty exciting to have our team involved in research that is genuinely focused on improving rural healthcare. 🌾
