Your shoulder blade (scapula) sits on your rib cage and needs to move freely for your arm to move well. When it’s stiff or not gliding the way it should, the neck, upper back and shoulder can all feel it.

This is a scapula mobilisation with our physio. Whether it’s right for you depends on what an assessment shows.

Shoulder or upper back tension that keeps coming back? Book a physio appointment. Link in bio.

Gym + recovery. $45 a week.

Here’s exactly what you get:
• Access to the gym floor (no classes included)
• Unlimited contrast therapy: sauna and cold plunge
• Unlimited compression therapy

Train hard, then use the recovery side to wind down. Contrast and compression may support how you feel between sessions.

Not every headache starts in your head. For some people, tension in the neck and upper back plays a part in headaches and migraine-type symptoms.

Our senior physio Paulo uses hands-on techniques to assess and treat the neck and surrounding muscles. Treatment may support movement, ease muscle tension and help reduce how often symptoms flare, depending on the individual.

Not sure if your headaches are neck-related? A proper assessment is the first step.

Our Exercise Physiologist Chloe uses strength testing to see where you’re starting from, so your program is built around you, not a generic plan.

Testing can help show differences between sides, areas that may need more focus, and how your strength changes over time. Retesting lets you see progress rather than just guess at it.

It’s one part of how Chloe supports women through perimenopause, menopause and healthy ageing, with a focus on strength, bone health and staying independent.

Hard session, then what?

Magnesium is involved in muscle function and energy production, and regular training can increase how much your body needs. Food comes first. Recovery comes next.

A float gives you an hour of weightless, quiet time in magnesium-rich water. It may support relaxation and help you wind down between sessions. No screens, no load, no noise.

What you might feel after your physio session.

Everybody responds differently, but here’s what some people notice:
• Mild soreness in the treated area, more like post-workout than pain
• Feeling tired or drained as your body does the work
• Looser, easier movement, often the first thing people notice
• Stiffness the next morning, which often eases within a day or two

It’s also worth knowing that one session may not be enough. It depends on you and what we’re treating.

If you notice sharp, worsening, or lingering symptoms, tell your physio. Don’t wait it out.
