Should you get a cortisone injection for your shoulder pain? 💉

We get this question all the time, and for good reason.

Cortisone can be super effective, but only if it’s used at the right time and for the right condition. And the injection is the easy part. Making sure it helps you move better, not just feel better for a week, is where most people get it wrong.

This week’s blog unpack exactly when it works, when it doesn’t, and what to do around it.

Today’s a big day in the clinic. 🎂

It’s Murray’s birthday — and the team showed up with an absolutely ridiculous spread of cake, brownies and cupcakes.

Safe to say he was happy about it.

Happy birthday, Murray. 💚

We're seeing more teenage athletes with hip and pelvis "muscle strains" that are actually something else entirely.

They hear a pop, feel sore for a week, try to go back to sport — and it flares again.

Kids don't injure like adults. And treating it like a normal strain can set recovery back significantly.

This week's blog breaks down what's actually going on and how we get young athletes back to sport safely.

🌟 Team Spotlight: Amy 🌟

Amy has been the physio on the sideline for the Central Newcastle Butcher Birds — and recently they won the Milleen Group Premiership grand final in extra time at McDonald Jones Stadium.

First time the Butcher Birds have ever won it.

But here's the thing — this is Amy's third year involved as a sideline physio for the same comp. Third year. And all three times, her team has won the premiership.

The comp has only been running for three years. 😂

Coincidence? We're not asking questions. Well done Amy — and well done Butcher Birds. 💚

We've seen 6+ pars stress fractures in the last few weeks.

Most people haven't even heard of them — but they're one of the most common causes of back pain in young athletes.

The biggest issue? They often don't feel that bad early on. So athletes keep training. And it gets worse.

The good news — catch it early and recovery is straightforward. Miss it and it isn't.

This week's blog breaks down what it is, why it happens, and the signs to watch for.

Say hello to Nick. 👋

Nick's joined the Valley Physio team as a physio — sports coaching degree, strength and conditioning cert, and over 30 years playing ice hockey.

Ice hockey. Hunter Region. We'll take it. 🏒

His thing is hands-on treatment, proper assessment and getting people strong. Fits right in here.

When he's not in the clinic he's on a river bank with his three kids or watching the Pittsburgh Penguins. 💚

Welcome to the team, Nick.

Kurri Kurri's first patient. 🙌

This is what it's all about. Months of planning, building and waiting — and it all came down to this moment.

Matt and the team are ready for you, Kurri Kurri. 💚

🌟 Team Spotlight: Murray 🌟

Murray presented at RIPN on hip differential diagnosis — one of the trickier presentations we work through in the clinic.

A room full of physios, a real case on the table, a clinical discussion that pulls no punches. It's how good clinicians stay good.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to here. Every patient gets that same level of thinking when they walk through our door — whether you're a professional athlete or just trying to get back to the weekend game.

The Hunter Region has a strong physio community. We're proud to be part of it. 💚
