🤔What’s happening at WA Health Group?

Reuben and Chenbo have recently been involved in the PICOT Trial through The University of Queensland, helping further develop the skills physiotherapists use to support people recovering from whiplash and neck pain following motor vehicle accidents. 🚗

❓Why get involved in whiplash research?

Reuben:
“People recovering from whiplash injuries are often dealing with more than just pain. They may struggle with confidence, returning to the road, and managing ongoing symptoms. I wanted to be involved so I could continue building the latest evidence-based knowledge and skills to better support these patients in their recovery.”

Chenbo:
“Whiplash injuries can be complex, and I’ve always had a strong interest in neck injuries. Being involved in the PICOT Trial allowed me to further develop my understanding of the latest assessments and treatment approaches to better support recovery.”

At WA Health Group, ongoing learning, research, and evidence-based practice remain central to providing high-quality care for our patients. 💪

Nothing brings a team together quite like lunch! 🍕💪

💪If you’ve been unsure where to start with strength training, we’re here to help. 🏋️‍♀️

Our physios, Chenbo and Shilaine, recently completed a Physio Strength & Conditioning course with Dr. Merv Travers.

There was a lot of great learning around strength training, loading, movement, and helping people build confidence with exercise — not just for sport, but for everyday life too.

You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit from getting stronger. Sometimes it’s simply about:

• feeling better keeping up with the kids
• having more confidence in the gym
• reducing those little aches and pains
• improving running or gym performance
• staying strong for work and everyday life

If you’ve been unsure where to start with strength training, our team is always happy to help guide you in a way that suits your goals and lifestyle.

When Should You Start Exercising During Cancer Treatment?

One of the most common questions we hear at WA Health Group is:

“Should I wait until treatment finishes before exercising?”

The answer may surprise you.

With the right guidance, exercise can often be introduced during different stages of the cancer journey, depending on your health, treatment plan, and energy levels.

Our Exercise Physiology programs in Canning Vale are designed to help people move safely through treatment and recovery with supervised exercise tailored to individual needs.

In this blog we explain:

• When exercise may begin during treatment
• How programs are adjusted for fatigue and side effects
• What a safe, supervised exercise program can look like
