KNEE OSTEO ARTHRITIS 

Knee arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis (OA), is a prevalent condition in Australia, affecting approximately 2.2 million Australians. The cost to the health system is substantial, estimated at over $1 billion annually, due to medical treatments, surgical procedures, and lost productivity.

Finding non-surgical solutions to knee OA is increasingly feasible, offering significant benefits for both patients and the healthcare system. A comprehensive program of care can effectively manage and alleviate symptoms. This program includes the use of an unloader brace, which helps reduce pressure on the knee joint, and manual therapy, which can improve mobility and reduce pain. Shockwave therapy is another beneficial component, enhancing tissue repair and reducing inflammation. Exercise is critical, as it strengthens the muscles around the knee, improving joint stability and function.

Implementing this multifaceted approach can significantly reduce the need for surgical interventions, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.

At Revive we are developing such a program for people who have mild to moderate knee arthritis to improve function and manage pain - prolonging the "life" of the joint  to delay surgery or avoid having to have surgery at all. 

If you have knee OA and would like more information on our KNEE REGENERATION PROGRAM please leave your name with reception and we will keep you informed of our launch date and more information as it comes to hand!

CELEBRATING JESS

Jess our wonderful Senior and Women's Health Physiotherapist has celebrated her 40th year.  
Jess has been with Revive since the early days in the little blue house down the road and is the longest standing Reviver (apart from Julie)  having worked alongside Julie now for many many years.

In that time Jess has travelled overseas for 2 years, had 2 babies and returned to Revive like a boomerang. 
 
We love Jess for her passion for all things physio and the way she genuinely cares for her patients and always goes the extra mile.  Jess is an exceptional therapist with a habit of talking to herself and running into things while rushing between rooms  - we love you Jess 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Erin Cruse

Physiotherapist 

 Erin graduated from the University of South Australia in Adelaide in 2016. She got her start in private practice work in Adelaide where she was first introduced to Pilates and took an interest in it as a holistic tool for recovery. 

Erin has worked within numerous sectors in the physiotherapy realm, including musculoskeletal, residential aged care and most recently occupational rehabilitation. The diversity of work has helped Erin broaden her perspective on how physio can be helpful for people in different stages of life. 

Erin enjoys providing education to empower her patients to actively participate in their recovery. Her experience in occupational rehab has given her a deeper understanding of ergonomics and she enjoys helping office workers address their pain and injuries. Erin has an interest and pre and post-natal care and hopes to develop her skills within the pelvic physiotherapy space. 

Outside of work, Erin enjoys a rotating roster of creative pursuits, camping with her partner, and running with friends. Erin also spent two years in Canada with her partner and gratefully welcomes anyone patient enough to practice French with her..
