What a crazy week! We got authorisation from the government to stay open, as an essential Allied Health service and the Federal Health minister Greg Hunt reiterated this yesterday, stating that there is still a need for face to face visits and the Health Department will be releasing public information regarding the safety of Allied Health. For those of you who are part of our VIP group on Facebook, see more of the summary of this.

Right now we’re happy to be assisting people with pain, stress relief and movement to get through both chronic and acute conditions. Pain and lack of movement have a direct impact on our mental health, so it’s important we do everything we can to keep active and pain-free at this time. On Wednesday, Suzanne ran the first of our free Wellness Embodied Live sessions- dealing with release of pain and tension in the body. Watch back via our blog.

Can’t make an appointment right now, but would like the benefit of physiotherapy advice, support and education? Here are some of the ways you can reach us:

VIDEO CONSULT:

More information on our video consults is live on our Website right now. All you need is a working internet connection and a phone or computer with a webcam. We’ll talk you through all the rest and process payment either via EFT or over the phone by credit card. This is going to be such a wonderful service going forwards for clients in remote areas- we truly believe all Australians should have access to qualified Allied Health Professionals at their fingertips! Our Video Consults start from just $40 for a Home Posture Assessment or 15 minute check in. Open for online booking now on Nookal– for any questions on these, please don’t hesitate to drop us an email on suzanne@wellnessembodiedcairns.com . Obviously video consults won’t work for everyone, so we’re happy to discuss your individual needs.

ONLINE COURSES:

Breathing for Daily Living & Free your Fascia, Free your Life are both AMAZING ways of connecting to your breath and body and easing some of the stress/ tension of this time (or any other major life stressors). Lifetime access for just $34.95 each…. new courses to be announced soon, including our online Better Back program, Foam Roller Class and more. For more info or to purchase, click here or call us.

SET UP YOUR HOME GYM:

We already have a number of free rehab exercise videos accessible through our blog and on Facebook. Over the coming weeks we will be releasing more. Think about what you may need at home to assist with pain relief. We have foam rollers in stock from $35, spiky balls and self massage balls from $10 up, magnesium creams and sprays, Posture Medic posture supports, Archies arch support thongs and more. We can even email you an exercise sheet on how to use these. Pop in today to stock up! We’re here until 5pm and back again Monday. We can potentially organise drop off to your front door too- email Suzanne with your location and needs.

ACCESS PRODUCTS IN SHORT SUPPLY:

We all know about the toilet paper, right! But as a physiotherapy practice we’ve been amazed at some of the products which are becoming more difficult to access. These include, Bioceuticals supplements (everyone wants to look after their immune systems and health in these testing times and it’s always best to use a reputable, high grade product to do so!), as well as Do Terra’s On Guard protective blend.

Well- today we still have a good supply of Bioceuticals products, including Armaforce (their immune boosting capsules!) in store from just $20. Plus we have a couple of On Guard products left- but they’re rushing quickly out the door! The good news is, we can set you up with an account to order these products from the comfort of your own home. Bioceuticals accounts are free- you;ll need to have a free chat with Suzanne regarding your condition to obtain recommendations – just shoot us an email (suzanne@wellnessembodiedcairns.com) . Do Terra costs $35 to set up a 12 month account, but gives you access to all products at wholesale prices. Simply head here to sign up, or contact us with any questions.

We look forward to connecting with you and our wider community over the coming weeks- stay in touch with us and let us know what you need. We’re all in this together!

Suzanne, Alyza, Clara & Danielle!
