Scoliosis Blog
March April Scoliosis Ramble
It is hard to believe how quickly time has flown this year.
This past week has been a momentous, or to use a word from Kill Bill (the movie)- Gargantuan step in the life of postural physiotherapy.
We have finally moved into our new space. I know.... its been very hush hush. I have been practicing out of a 15sqm room in a doctors surgery for the last 10 years and since returning from Wisconsin realised that to work in postural and scoliosis therapy I would need more space. Admittedly I have been looking for the right space for a few years but nothing ever worked out - till now.
The space started off as part of the garage of the Meriton serviced apartment block which was converted into office suites by Meriton. It was an empty shell when I first saw it, but with the help of Agi Sterling architect and Blair and Alex of Mammoth builders, we moved in on Monday. There are of course the standard teething problems such as the reception desk not being ready on time and the 10 station wall bars not being ready on time (hopefully both will be installed in the next week or two).
The initial aim is to continue the existing "practice" of postural physiotherapy. The thursday morning "osteoporosis" class had its first session in the space. It was great!! finally the class could, using the surround mirrors, see what I have been trying to tell them for years. We will be adding another osteoporosis class on Tuesdays.
Although it started off as the "osteoporosis class" its more of what I call an intuitive journey through movement. We will also be adding some classes aimed at total hip and total knee recepient patients as well as people with chronic shoulder pain.
Finally!!!! when we get up to speed, we will be adding specialist posture and scoliosis classes.
Speaking to Blair a few days ago.. when we were really rushing aound doing a milliion things at once he asked what I have been doing in my spare time.. well- training for the Canberra Marathon on the 2nd of May. Once that is out of the way I will be able to devote more time to the blog.
