It’s official! After the qualifying meet in Adelaide massaging the QAS swimmers, Terry has been selected to go to Tokyo with the Australian Dolphins!! This will be his third Olympic campaign, his first as a Massage Therapist. Congratulations Terry!!!! Thanks to @dolphinsaus for the photos

Sometimes when I travel, it feels like I have gone back in time. Auburn swimming pool still has most of its original architecture from 1959

Great to be back on pool deck with the Dolphins!

We have a new female massage therapist at the Health Hub!!

We keep you and our team safe by following the government’s NSQHS standards for hygiene. We use hospital grade antiseptic wipes on all surfaces. #corona #covid_19 #remedialmassage #sportsmassage #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassagetherapy #oncologymassage #oncologymassagetherapist #dolphinsaus

Our infection control standards are in alignment with the WHO protocols. These include: 1. The use of clean linen for each appointment 2. Tables are disinfected after each patient. 3. A thorough hand washing protocol for all therapists with Hospital grade soap and sanitizer. You safety is our main concern throughout this period but we want to ensure you know that it is still safe to come and receive treatment from one of our friendly team.

😂 It's okay we have appointments available today!

Throw Back Thursday! - That crazy night at Comm Games when we dragged Malcom in for a selfie! #goodtimes #goldcoast #commonwealthgames #swimmers #dolphinsaus #tbt #pm #primeminister #selfie

1. POSITIVE CHANGE - Our job as therapists is to help find deficiencies in your mobility and improve them. How are we going to know if there has been an improvement if we don't assess in the first place and reassess to check that it has worked. ⁠ ⁠ 2. A TAILORED TREATMENT - Assessment helps us to identify underlying structures or regions in your body that are contributing to your symptoms. We can then create a treatment plan specific to these needs to help you improve faster. ⁠ ⁠ 3. CAN WE TREAT? As therapists we are taught about 'red flags,' times when we should not treat or refer on. If we aren't assessing we can't identify these types of symptoms and risk causing harm. ⁠ ⁠ This is why assessment an is ESSENTIAL part of EVERY treatment.

🤣😂🤣 Exactly.

A fantastic review from Sean!!

When you're really excited to treat Jack McLoughlin. @jackmcloughlin

Education is key to understanding your body and what it needs. Who you choose on your health team can make all the difference. Here are a few tips to choose your Remedial Massage Clinic. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 1. QUALIFIED REMEDIAL MASSAGE THERAPISTS - There is massage and then there is massage! Choosing a massage therapist with a minimum of a Diploma of Remedial Massage means you get someone who understands how the body works and can tailor a treatment to your needs. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 2. ASSESSMENT - If your therapist is not doing a thorough assessment prior to you getting onto the table, how are they able to truly identify the deficiencies in your mobility and choose a treatment plan that will help you improve. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 3. COLLABORATION - Generally, if you are not getting better after a few sessions something isn't working and massage may not be the only thing you need to get better. Collaborating with additional Allied Health Practitioners is a great way to get a diagnosis and better direction for your treatment plan. Remedial massage therapists should have an established network of other allied health practitioners they can refer you to if needed.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Reading through a clinic's website, checking reviews and their online presence is one way to research this sort of thing. Make sure you ask when you book in with a new therapist about their qualifications.

Alway good to meet a new Soft Tissue Therapist! Looking forward to helping QAS swimming in Melbourne.

Hope you’ve all had a great day! Stay safe during your break. See you soon.
