Innovative physio solutions

WITH a commitment to offering high quality care in rural areas, 3D Physiotherapy is bringing latest physio research and innovative exercise solutions to Boort.

Brodie Leonard-Shannon and Isaac Watson will work out of Boort District Medical Centre.

They will provide physio for all muscular and joint issues including arthritis, sports injury management and rehabilitation for footballers, netballers, hockey players and other sportspeople in the Loddon. Treatments will also be available for headaches, neck and jaw pain, massage, mobilisations and taping and dry needling. Brodie played with Boort Football Club and Bears Lagoon Serpentine Football Club for more than a decade.

“I understand the physical demands of competitive sports and how difficult being injured can be,” he said.

“Getting you back to doing what you love is what motivates me to keep learning and improving as a physio.”

Brodie says his role as a physio is to empower you to become the best version of yourself and achieve all of your goals, however big or small they may be.

“I thoroughly enjoy getting to know all about you and how we can work together to get you where you want to be,” he said.

“I am a strong advocate for using exercise and strength training to get you moving.

“To do this, I use the experience I had from working as an exercise scientist before starting my career as a Physiotherapist. I also believe that manual therapy can be a powerful tool in improving your pain and function.”

Director and senior physiotherapist of Bendigo-based 3D Physiotherapy Julie Sheahan said: “We saw the need in Boort as there hasn’t been a permanent physio for a while now.

“It is only just over an hour from Bendigo and I am keen for my physios to have an interesting and varied caseload.”

Julie says 3D Physiotherapy helps people move through pain, injury and major life changes by “listening to you and learning about you”.

“Teaching you what’s caused your pain and why, we empower you to treat the issue and educate you to reduce risk of it happening again.

From the moment you make contact with us, you’ll feel the difference - from our super friendly reception staff to our experienced physios.

“You will receive individualised attention and care to help you feel welcome and part of our 3D community.

“We use highly regarded assessment tools for accurate diagnosis and handson techniques including dry needling, mobilisation and soft tissue work to reset your body, ease your pain and improve motion.

“Our effective, safe and sustainable exercise programs and self-treatment techniques help you manage your health long-term, in our groups, at home or in your gym.

“We explain your diagnosis and the contributing factors that lead to your issue. You’ll learn to tune into your body, how to prevent re-injury and we’ll help you discover exercise you enjoy to boost your overall health,” says Julie.
