What an amazing weekend completing Module 2 & Module 3 of Vocal Physical Therapy.

This weekend we had clinicians who are invested in learning how to treat head, face, neck, laryngeal and voice discomfort.
We worked through “The Challenging Larynx” which can appear as pain, discomfort or in the spectrum of irritable larynx and associated issues.

We then moved into how to treat the musculoskeletal components of the Performance Voice- for all those who are occupational voice users, voice artists and singers.
We “tuned up the larynx”!

Thank you to all the clinicians who travelled from near and far - perth, Hong Kong, Sydney and regional Australia!

A huge thank you to the singing volunteers who helped the clinicans experience treating a singer. Thank you to my colleagues at VCA and AVA for assisting us with this. This really is the highlight of the weekend!

That was the last course for 2026. What a fantastic year it has been!

I am currently formulating the plan for 2027.
At this stage the it looks like the team and I will be running
- M1 Foundations of Vocal Physical Therapy
- M2 The challenging Larynx & M3 The Performance Voice

For vocal coaches and speech pathologists.
There will be one course in Melbourne and another in another state…if you have a particular interest in hosting please DM me.

Physios love Pilates! How many times have you come in for an appointment and your physio has gotten you onto the reformer to quickly run through a few exercises? There’s a good reason for this!

Pilates is an incredible tool to help with rehab, injury prevention and strength building. 💪

If you are ready to start your Clinical Conditioning Pilates journey, give us a call to find out how our physio lead Pilates classes can benefit you. 💫

What can we say, September has been one to remember 🌸

• Narrm was host city for this year’s @_iadms_ conference (International Association for Dance Medicine & Science) which the Performance Medicine team has been buzzing about for the past few months. Polly Dhar, @elisemcmahon.physio @emily_physio @anniestrauch and Catherine Etty-Leal were all part of the program 🤩
• Wrapping up @_iadms_ meant selfies, floor sits, dancing and Cheshire Cat grins that we still can’t wipe off our faces 🧑‍🩰
• Melbourne Physio, Will, had his article on using @vald_performance Force Decks to help with jumping, published in the lastest copy of @dancetrainmag 🩰
• Gadigal Country superstars, Maria and @physiosamyeung held a workshop at @sydunigym on performance optimisation, recovery and injury prevention 🤸
• @anniestrauch celebrated her birthday by coming into work and “doing a boomerang” 🥳
• @elisemcmahon.physio had a massive turnout at one of her @_iadms_ presentations. It was great to see so many engaged humans 🧠
• The fit out for @performancemed Sydney continues with gym mirrors being installed. They have been tested and confirmed ready for selfies 🤳
• Narrm Physio @corbindickfos_ showed off his shoulder strength while doing some in house filming 📸
• @myfairladyaus had their opening night in Sydney. Congrats to everyone involved on an incredible show. We are so happy we get to support this wonderful production 💃
• @staceykip.physio made her return to the Narrm clinic so naturally we asked her film a little something funny 😝

Can’t wait to see you in October ✨

It is always a pleasure to be in Perth.

Thank you to Aarksara Foo who invited me over West this year and teach Manual Therapy for Voice Professionals.

The room was a mix of Speech Pathologists, vocal coaches and singing teachers, all who were open and collaborative about their experience, their aims and how we can work together.

Like all the courses I teach and facilitate, they are all different, depending on who is in the room. In Perth, we were able to take the content to where it needed to be so that the people in the room were able to find practical and immediately applicable strategies for their clients 👍

That’s it for the Voice Professionals’ courses this year.

If you are a Voice Professional and keen for 2027 - please comment or shoot me a DM.

The last course for the year will be the Module 2 & 3 (The Challenging Larynx & The Performance Voice) in October with the Osteos, Physios and Chiros - already looking forward to it!

• The @performancemed Gadigal Country team came together for their quarterly meeting and also to say goodbye to CET superstar, Kash. We are going to miss having her around the clinic ✨
• @katie_jane_cook pulled out the tool kit and had fun putting up posters in our admin office from shows we have worked on over the years. We can’t wait for the walls to be completely covered! 🔨
• @nicnacs.physiogram, Polly and Vicente went to opening night of The Jungle And The Sea at @melbtheatreco, what a beautiful show 🌊
• @anniestrauch nipped over to Perth to present her vocal course to an amazing group of humans 🗣️
• @cmintomedia brought in our fav pooch Snoopy for a day of snacks and pats 🐾
• While taking in the sights of Perth, @anniestrauch caught up with offsite legend @suhasinisutharshan who helps us out across Perth shows seasons 🤩
• @wear_it_purple day was on Friday and both clinics came together to do some learning about the day and discuss how we will continue to support the community moving forward 💜
• @corbindickfos_ showed off his aptitude for jumping using the @vald_performance force decks. As he put it, this jump was “elite” 💪

See you next time 🌸

🩰 What can force plates actually tell us about a dancer?

Returning to dance after injury isn’t as simple as feeling strong or being able to jump as high as you did before. Sometimes, what’s happening beneath the surface can tell us much more.

In our latest blog by @performancemed physiotherapist Will Beck explores how force plates can provide objective insights into strength, power, symmetry and how a dancer produces and absorbs force.

But force plates aren’t a magic answer, they don’t replace clinical assessment or determine when you’re ready to return to performance. Instead, they can be another valuable tool to help dancers and clinicians understand the body and make more informed decisions throughout rehabilitation.

✨ The goal isn’t simply better numbers — it’s a safer, more confident, and sustainable return to dance. Curious about how force plates could support your training or recovery?

👉 Read the full blog on our website, link in bio.

Interested in force plate testing? Performance Medicine offers force plate assessments for dancers at their Melbourne clinic. Ausdance VIC members receive 10% off their assessment. Simply include your Ausdance VIC member number when booking to redeem the discount. More info about how to become an Ausdance VIC member in link in bio.
