Northside Physio News

September 25 – Clinic Updates

\There have been a lot of moving parts at Northside Physio in the last month with staff leaving as well as exciting new additions to the team. In late August, we welcomed a new Myotherapist to the team – Arthur. Arthur is a Northside local with various years of experience as a Myotherapist who incorporates techniques such as cupping, dry needling, mobilistion and soft tissue massage to his treatment approach, getting the best possible outcome for his patients.

We unfortunately said farewell to our Physio Sarah, who is returning home to the UK, via Japan for a well deserved holiday. Sarah has been at Northside Physio since February this year and has been an invaluable asset to the team. We will miss seeing Sarah’s smiling face around the clinic everyday and we wish her nothing but the best for her future as a Physiotherapist.

We also have exciting news – we have added two additional Physiotherapists to the everygrowing team at the clinic, Ella and Angus. Ella, Echuca born and raised joined us in late August, she comes across with a Master of Physiotherapy/Bachelor of Exercise Science. Ella has just finished a stint working with the AFL team at Haileybury College for their second and third semesters in the school year.

Angus completed his Bachelor of Physiotherapy and has over 8 years of experience as a Physiotherapist. Angus has experience in a variety of settings including Private Practice, Musculoskeletal Inpatients and Outpatients as well as providing outreach services to remote communities in south-west Queensland. Angus has travelled abroad and worked as a Physiotherapist in the UK within the NHS and private practices.

August 25 – New Myotherapist!

Meet Arthur, our newest Myotherapist at Northside Physio! Arthur is a Northside local with a passion for helping people move and feel better, whether it’s assisting them with their injury, rehabilitation or chronic pain. Arthur brings experience from working in both elite sport and the private practice setting. Through his treatment, Arthur adopts a tailored, hands-on approach using techniques like massage, cupping, and dry needling, to support your recovery and wellbeing. Arthur will be available at Northside Physio on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons starting August 26.

July 25 – Winter Running/Marathon Season

We’re in the midst of a chilly Melbourne winter—prime time for building solid training blocks ahead of the busy running season. With Run Melbourne on recently, the Sydney Marathon coming up in August, and the Melbourne Marathon in October, now is the perfect time to get ahead and stay on top of any niggles before they become setbacks.

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role during marathon season, helping runners prepare their bodies for the physical demands of long-distance training and racing. As mileage and intensity increase, our physiotherapists support injury prevention through tailored rehabilitative exercises, effective stretching techniques, and hands-on treatment.

During running season, physio isn’t just about recovery—it’s a proactive approach to improving performance, maintaining endurance, and keeping you running at your best.

June 25 – Strapping Evening at Northside Physio!

In the middle of June, our physios, Hayley and Connie, hosted a strapping evening at the clinic for local members of our Northside community. The evening covered tips, tricks, and techniques for strapping commonly injured areas such as knees (for both ligament and tendon support), as well as ankles and thumbs.

Taping is an invaluable skill for everyone — whether you play sport yourself or have a child or family member who does. It’s always handy to have a roll of tape and know what to do in case of injury, or if they require a little bit more support for trainings/game days!

May 25 – Photoshoot Day!

We figured it was time for a much needed freshen up of our photos and content for the website and the socials. In the last couple of weeks, the team got together for a whole morning to show off the vibe and to capture photos that give a good insight into what we do day-to-day in the clinic. Whilst we were out of our comfort zone slightly, we all managed to have a few laughs in between action shots. Keep your eyes peeled to our website and socials as the photos and videos start rolling out in the coming weeks!

A special shoutout to Jez at Drake Content and Ben at Benzen Video Productions for the amazing shots!

April 25 – Connie is back!

It feels like just yesterday we were sending Connie our love as she headed off on maternity leave. As of March Connie will officially be back at Northside Physio consulting on Tuesday and Thursday evenings as well as Saturday mornings. At this stage, Connie will be seeing Women’s Health and pre-existing musculoskeletal patients only, she will not be taking on new Musculoskeletal patients.

We can’t wait to have Connie back in action at Northside Physio, we have missed her smiling face, her cake obsession and her rogue Pilates chats!

March 25 – Teaming up with Northside FC!

We are happy to announce that we will be joining forces with the Northside FC Senior Women’s team for season 2025!

Together, we’re bringing top-tier physiotherapy care and support to their amazing players, providing them with injury assessments and the treatment and care they need to stay healthy and on the field! As a clinic, Northside Physio loves to support the local community, especially when it comes to local sport so this opportunity was to good to pass up.

Northside FC players can now book their injury assessments and/or Initial Consultations via the website or by calling the clinic on 9942 8903.

Fingers crossed for a successful season for the girls!

December 24 – Christmas Party!

We had an amazing time celebrating the festive season at our Christmas Party! We kicked off the day with bar hopping around Fitzroy, starting at The Builders Arms Hotel, enjoyed a delicious lunch at The Napier, and wrapped things up at The Rose Hotel.

Of course, Elf on the Shelf joined us for the fun, adding some extra holiday cheer to the festivities. It was a fantastic day filled with laughs, good food and great company!
