Over the last few weeks a number our staff at GCP been preparing to take part in this years event on October 23rd at the Bordertown Race Course.

We have walkers, runners and cyclists all participating on the day. This year Good Country Physiotherapy, in recognition of the important role that regular exercise plays in everyones health and well being, are sponsoring the 5km Walk/Run.

Whether you are taking part on the day or just popping along to try some of the fabulous food on offer after the event please drop by and say hello to us. We’ll be on site offering a rub down to anyone who has walked/ran or cycled too far. We might even be able to offer a bed to lie down on if you’ve eaten too much……

Thanks to the Highway Christian Centre and their newly tiled pool our physiotherapist, Chelsey, will be starting her water-based exercises class on Wednesday 26th October. Read more...

Preventing falls in Naracoorte

Falls are a common problem for older people and are one of the main causes of hospitalisation in the over 65’s. Many people think that falls are an inevitable part of getting older, however falls are not a normal part of ageing. Many falls can be prevented and ageing does not have to mean a loss of independence. Read more...

Our physiotherapists, Kieran & Naomi welcomed their third child, a son, Tiarnán, early in September. Congratulations!!
