Why did you last go to a Physio? We have noticed something very similar about what many people tend to say as they arrive at Physio... "I can't" 'I did something and now I can't do this. I can't get better at that. I've gradually noticed I can't do something without pain. I can't understand why this keeps happening. I can't do something without pain....' Sometimes people walk out of a Physio with even more "I can't" statements. 'I can't do that anymore. I can't understand why. I can't remember my exercises!" At TMT we like to flip that narrative on it's head as quickly as we can to... "I can" 'I can do something to help. I can get better. I can understand why this happens. I can achieve that goal. I can do that thing that I'd given up on. I can get stronger. I can get faster. I can get there!'
Saturday Smiles! For a man who doesn’t like having his photo taken, Justin (our Remedial Massage Therapist) was caught striking a good pose between appointments this morning! Saturday and Sunday Remedial Massage appointments (plus weekday evenings) are available via online booking.
When Saturday’s are serious stuff! Jack was spotted today using three computers to provide the very best Saturday front desk service!
Manual therapy 💆‍♂️ 💆‍♀️ It can be a part of physio, but certainly doesn’t define it. Do we use it at TMT? As with every question around health and Physiotherapy- it depends! We make a huge focus around our clients being active in their rehab and recovery process. It’s why 50% of our floor space is dedicated to our gym. Our rooms are places where we talk, asses and apply some manual therapy when needed. It all depends on - The clinical presentation and history - The goals of our client - The beliefs of our client - Clinical reasoning of our therapist based on their assessment. We certainly don’t say that we realign things, put joints back in place or that we optimise neural systems as that’s just a lazy use of language that reinforces passive behaviour and can cause long term poor beliefs and outcomes. Our view is that manual therapy is just part of what we can use to help our clients move away from painful states and back into their lives doing what they love.
A dash of hard work and some coaching along the way and you can improve at most things. Physio’s can do way more than just treating injuries.
Smile it’s Friday! And make sure you colour co-ordinate💙 Results are not just about “fixing” things and personal bests. Sometimes results are getting the person onto the right care pathway as soon as possible. Sam has fully “embraced” ( 🤦‍♂️ 🤦🏽‍♀️) his current mobility status and after injuring his knee we were able to triage, successfully diagnose and get a specialist appointment within a few days of injury. The nice thing is that Sam, who is a local business owner, was able to stay on his feet and keep up most of his day to day activities. His dream of making the next FIFA World Cup ⚽️ may be on ice, for now. We wish Sam all the best for his recovery, but we know he will be working hard to come back even stronger.
Don’t worry Jas and Nathan are not getting married! But they will be embarking on an education journey after both being accepted onto the UQ Sports Masters Degree. Jas and Nathan will be undertaking 2 years of study to help enhance their clinical skills and upon completion they will be able to call themselves Sports Physio’s under the APA Titling system. This means they will build on their high level of care to our clients at TMT.
At TMT we believe in spending time with our clients to form a therapeutic alliance so that we can work together to achieve the goals that we set out together, in consultation. For us, this means our clients are active components in the consultation process, not just a client to be treated via a therapist. This process takes time, and this is why we like to sit down with our clients to talk so that we can understand what is needed. Physio, as with all healthcare, demands individualised advice and therapy that allows our clients to reach these goals. Stay on the move and be active in all aspects of your life!
We always want to make sure that we achieve clarity on our 1st Principle with each client. “Understanding is key 🔑 “ This means that we work as a team to help create this understanding. We have an open door policy where all of our therapists work together to communicate with all of our clients when working through a a session to achieve a clients goals. Yanek was in today after a busy Christmas period working with the Brisbane Roar women’s squad. Working alongside Jasleigh to help problem solve and create results driven pathways for our clients. Thanks to all of our clients for the gifts, well wishes and holiday greetings. We have been super busy and look forward to catching up with everyone soon.
Cheers 2018. It’s been a big year for us here at TMT and we will be uploading some highlights to our story today and tomorrow! As with each New Year we will look back at all of the highs and lessons we have faced. We hope that everyone has a great time celebrating and welcoming 2019.
Merry Christmas from the whole team at TMT. We are closed for Christmas Day and Boxing Day and reopening on the 27th.
It was nice to see Happy Humphrey today as his hooman (Trish from @all_pets_education_training ) came in to get some physio so that she can keep all of these doggos in line!
