🎉 Please welcome Andrea to the KC Health Services team!

We're excited to introduce Andrea Rich, our newest physiotherapist, joining us from Tuesday 22 September.

Andrea brings over 10 years of private practice experience across Townsville, Canberra, and Brisbane, with a particular focus on spinal pain, lower limb injuries, running-related injuries, and exercise-based rehabilitation. She also has a strong background in paediatric physiotherapy, so families and young athletes are very welcome too.

Outside the clinic, Andrea's just as active as her patients — she's often found running, hiking, riding, or travelling somewhere new. Movement isn't just her job, it's genuinely how she lives, so she gets it when you tell her you don't want to stop doing the things you love.

Andrea will be available Tuesdays and Thursdays.

To celebrate her joining the team, we're offering a $85 introductory consultation (normally $135) for private patients, available until 1 October.

Comment below and give her a warm welcome, or book your first session here: www.kchealthservices.com.au/andrea 💙

About a month ago mountain biker Adolf Silva crashed during the 2025 Red Bull Rampage event.

We're not going to rehash the crash or get into discussions around whether these types of events should exist.

But we are keen to share some of his rehab videos over time as they show some of the brilliant work that physiotherapists do in the spinal injury space.

For context Adolf suffered fractures of his T2 and T3 vertebrae and dislocated further vertebrae down the T6. He currently has no sensation below his chest.

This first video shows him starting to work on sitting balance, rolling and transferring from bed to chair.

First episode of the new Weekly updates series STILL LOCO.Starting with the double rehab sessions everyday , the process is not easy but we are facing it wit...

At KC Health Services, we're committed to going the extra mile for our DVA-funded clients—everyone holding Gold or White Cards deserves seamless, respectful, and effective care.

Here’s how we can do even better:

✅ Proactive individualised plans — tailored treatment cycles rooted in personal goals and long-term outcomes.

✅ Phone calls and touching base between appointments - If you can't make it in for a while to see us, we won't forget about you. We'll make sure we touch base every now and then to make sure your physio plan is working for you.

✅ Team collaboration — we work to communicate with your wider medical team to ensure we're all working together on the same shared goals.

✅ Veteran feedback loops — request input through-out from YOU to refine our treatment plans continually. We make sure we're working on what's important to you!

👊 By implementing these steps, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a trust-based, veteran-centred physiotherapy experience that honours service and supports wellness 👌
