🏃‍♀️📸 Geraldine Athletics Club Photo Competition is Back! 📸🏃‍♂️

We’re pleased to be involved again this year!

With the Commonwealth Games inspiring athletes worldwide, it’s a great time to celebrate our local athletics club.

At Geraldine Physiotherapy, we’re proud to support many local athletes through injury recovery and back to sport.

We also had a bit of fun with this year’s theme as the “Commonwealth Games naturist swimming team” — a light-hearted effort that gave us all a laugh!

Good luck to all entrants! 🏅

Ps: No one at this stage got a chill from the photo shoot😂😂.

Hip & Knee Replacement – Surgery Is Only Part of the Journey

Hip and knee replacements can be life-changing procedures, but the best outcomes don’t come from surgery alone.

Evidence shows that physiotherapy before and after joint replacement plays a key role in recovery. Pre-surgery physiotherapy (“prehab”) can improve strength, function and patient confidence going into surgery, while structured post-operative rehabilitation helps restore movement, strength and overall function.

At our clinic we regularly help patients preparing for Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement surgery with:
• Pre-operative strengthening and mobility work�• Education about what to expect after surgery�• Early post-operative rehabilitation�• Progressive strengthening and return to activity

We also really appreciate the orthopaedic surgeons who recommend physiotherapy both before and after surgery.

This approach reflects best practice and evidence-based care, and ultimately helps patients achieve better outcomes.

It’s important to remember:

👉 The surgeon performs the operation
�👉 You and your physiotherapist do the rehabilitation

The work you put in before and after surgery can make a huge difference to your final result.

If you’re waiting for a hip or knee replacement or have recently had surgery, physiotherapy can help guide your recovery and get you back to the activities you enjoy.

I really love New Zealand music so how cool to chat to this feller today!!

Super fun to have a yarn to a true Geraldine legend, Jordan Luck.

I couldn’t resist trying to convince him to come back and play a gig in Geraldine or at the Woodbury Hall.

Certainly one of New Zealand’s best ever singer and song writers!!

Fingers crossed we see him back on stage soon!

A big thank you to Bidwill Hospital for allowing Olivia the opportunity to observe a theatre session with Mr Sean Van Heerden.

It was a fantastic learning experience and a great opportunity to see how other health professionals work together in a surgical setting.

Observing surgical procedures and the teamwork involved provides valuable insight that helps us continue improving the care we provide our patients.

We really appreciate the time and support from the team at Bidwill Hospital, the patients for allowing Olivia to view the procedures and Mr Van Heerden.
