🏉 Injured at the business end of the season?
Late-season injuries can be especially frustrating, particularly with important games and finals still ahead.

A sudden knee injury, rolled ankle, shoulder injury or muscle tear should be assessed properly rather than simply pushed through in the hope of making it to the final whistle.
Early assessment can help clarify:
• what has been injured
• whether imaging is required
• what treatment is appropriate
• and what a safe return to sport may look like

When the season is nearly over, the goal isn’t just getting through the next game, it’s making the right decisions for recovery and the season ahead. Dr Tane Eunson, Sports Physician to the Fremantle Dockers, provides urgent assessment and management of acute sports injuries, helping you understand your injury, plan your recovery and work towards a safe return to sport.

Get assessed. Get a plan. Get back in the game.

Huge congratulations to Dr Tane Eunson for taking on the Seven Gravel Race in beautiful Nannup! 🚴‍♂️

A massive effort through some stunning (and seriously challenging) South West gravel terrain. Great to see Tane out there pushing limits, embracing the adventure, representing with determination and shaving TWO HOURS OFF his expected result.

Well done, Tane! 👏

We have an incredible team at The Orthopaedic Group WA...and a vital part of that is our Ella. Ella is the shining and smiling face on arriving at our front desk, the friendly voice on the end of the phone and the caring and supportive work colleague to those around her. Not only that, but every Friday Ella volunteers with the Child and Adolescent Health Service. As part of National Volunteer Week, we will be celebrating Ella and all those who lend a helping hand. We are very proud of you Ella! 🥰

Volunteering plays a vital role in our communities and also helps individuals connect and grow. If you would like to find out more about volunteering head to the Volunteering WA w (https://volunteeringwa.org.au/) or Volunteering Australia (https://www.volunteeringaustralia.org/) websites.
