It has been a massive week of learning, talking, meeting, planning, and laughing.

Unfortunately playing veterans footy has finally caught up with me.🙁 I'll be having surgery on my shoulder on Monday the 11th of April. This will mean I won't be able to see patients for several weeks.
I will still be available for telehealth consults or enquiries so if you do have something hand or wrist related that is worrying you, please get in touch. I can guarantee I'll need the distraction!!

I'm in the middle of updating my website and blog posts. I found this little piece that hadn't seen daylight. Enjoy.

Of the three disciplines in Triathlon, swimming is the one I like the least. I've already mentioned that I was the 4th last person out of th...

Honoured to be asked to prepare a presentation on "Wrist Injury in the Elite Athlete" for this virtual congress. Just happy it didn't have to be in Spanish!

Lockdown continues! I'd hoped against hope that it wouldn't but reality has spoken. What that means is that I can still see patients but that there has to be a risk of the injury requiring an escalation of care if I don't intervene. The easiest way to clarify what that means is to contact me and if I'm allowed to see you, I will. Unfortunately, Northside Boulders remains closed at this time.🥺

Interesting article about junior climbers. I'd have to agree I've seen far more growth plate injuries than pulley injuries in that cohort. Often not diagnosed or appreciated by those closest to them. They need time, non aggressive treatment, and education.
