We are so proud of all the women in our lives. But the statistics concerning the participation rates of women in sport is still alarming. Despite the recent headway made by teams such as the Matilda’s and the Australian Cricket team, the inequity between men and women in the sporting landscape continues. Renumeration discrepancies (38% gap between men and women), decreased opportunities, and differential treatment based on gender is still widespread.
To attempt to combat this (from our small business in a rural town), we have offered grants to some women of our great town, who are trying to buck this trend. We’ll follow their journeys as they try and bring parity back to the world of sport.

One of the most common causes of pain in Elbows is know as "Tennis Elbow"
or Common Extensor Tendinopathy and is often not caused by Tennis but usually by overuse of your hand.

This can happen over time or appear to come on quite suddenly and can effect the use of your elbow, wrist and hand
some of the most common symptoms include
- pain on the inside of your elbow
- pain and/or difficulty on gripping and carrying
- pain and/or difficulty on wrist movements
- pain and/or stiffness in the morning can be an indicator of how far along the injury has progressed

This injury can be treated and strenghtening, activitiy modification and bracing have been shown to help decrease pain, increase function and aid in healing timeframes.

If you or someone you know has tennis elbow or elbow pain and you would like some advice on how to manage this feel free to call the clinic on (02) 6363 1031 or book online using the link below
