In last week’s edition of Clinic Questions, we asked the people of EPSA what they thought they could throw further out of a baguette 🥖 and a tortilla 🌯

After a week of intellectual debate and heated discussion on the aerodynamics of different shaped clumps of wheat, we decided it would be easier to just put it to the test.

While the baguette didn’t go to waste, we do not advocate for gravel and carpark bread to be part of a healthy balanced diet. To find out what should be included in your diet, why not come see our wonderful dietitian!

CLINICIANS CAUGHT THROWING GANG SIGNS!

(Just kidding, we were actually testing our hands for hypermobility)

Last Thursday, while many of you were dusting off your headgear and mouthguards for some late night shopping at Colonnades. The EPSA team had the privilege of learning about invisible illness from Assoc. Professor Nathan Butler.

Now we understand that to those outside of healthcare, learning about "invisible illness" may sound like a bigger scam than pet rocks or Nokia phone cases. However, it is an incredibly common and important area of healthcare, including conditions such as hypermobility, rheumatoid arthritis, POTS, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, long covid and many more.

While the invisible illness umbrella casts a wide shadow, unfortunately man-flu does not meet the criteria and science is not currently advanced enough to help you. Stay strong ✊. However, if you are struggling with an invisible illness yourself, our team is always more than happy to help.

SALMONELLA WARNING 🤮 : The bossman has told me to announce on the socials that we have Salmonella going around the clinic this week.

Wait... sorry... there's been a huge mistake, there's no salmonella (my ears must be painted on). Lets try this again:

SAM & ELLA WELCOME! 🥳 We would like to introduce everyone to our two new Team members who started this week: Sam & Ella!

Sam is an Exercise Physiologist with 5 years of experience working in private practice, spinal rehab and occupational rehab. He most enjoys working with TBI and stroke clients. Outside of work, he can be found playing footy, volleyball and golf.

Ella is our new admin and also a 3rd year Physio student at Adelaide Uni, with an interest in musculoskeletal challenges. Outside of work she enjoys running, coffee and netball.

Given my above mistake, I would also like to clarify that both Sam and Ella love cooking their chicken all the way through.

Last Friday, while many of you were busy daydreaming about the upcoming Kylie Minogue concert or still trying to explain Hyrox to your grandparents, EPSA were busy attending the Flinders University Exercise Physiology Industry Day.

Aside from shaking hands and palming off enough business cards to fill up all of Onkaparinga's potholes, the industry day provided us and other local EP clinics with a chance to meet the graduating cohort of EP students and the incoming year of EP placement students.

While we aren't sure how many new faces you may see around the clinic next year, we are sure of one thing: the future of healthcare is in good hands.

Despite the existence of a perfectly good tram system, last Sunday some of our EPSA team took their foot falcons for a spin and ran 12km from North Terrace to Glenelg. Also known as the City-Bay Fun Run, our team was just a small drop in the ocean of 30,000 participants who ran, walked and crawled down Anzac Highway.

Did you participate on Sunday? Let us know how you went!

Keen to get fit for next year's edition? Sounds like a good time to book in and see us!
