TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say About Us

The Active Performance team are mining compliant, culturally minded, engaging and caring. AP provides a comprehensive, personal service where you feel understood and cared for as an individual. They are a great team that does very important work.

Simon Hartley Rehabilitation Mine Services Supervisor | GEMCO, South 32

MJDF has worked closely with the AP team since 2012. Their service provision is of an extremely high and professional standard. Their cross- cultural competence is evident through the establishment of trust with local Aboriginal people living with disabilities.

Nadia Lindop MJD Foundation

I have known Nick, his team, and the work AP has provided on Groote Eylandt for the past 7 years. They have an exceptional reputation across all communities and have gained rapport with many local families, which is a reflection of the high engagement they achieve with clients.

Mark Hewitt Anindilyakwa Land Council

Very welcoming from the moment I walked into the door, receptionist was helpful, friendly and warm. The initial consult with Marcus was professional and thorough. Marcus' ability to listen to my needs after a 12 week injury was a 10 out of 10 rating. Marcus allowed me to feel comfortable with the direction we were going to take rehabing my ankle. He heard my limitations and was able to provide informed and knowledgeable direction on how we can progress. Marcus demonstrated genuine enthusiasm and interest to assist with my progression. I am looking forward to working with Marcus on the road to a run-ready ankle. Big up's to Active Performance!

Ray Genn

Tayla was extremely helpful and the main reason I was able to get my body right for A-Grade AFL. She has endless knowledge and shows she really cares with messages and asking for updates on how you are going in your recovery. Highly recommend seeing her.

JF

Highly recommend this physio - Matt was very professional, knowledgeable & thoughtful. I was treated for neck & upper back pain and felt listened to, as Matt was very mindful of my enjoyment of getting back into the gym post-birth and the practicalities of having a newborn when managing this injury. Further, I left having all my questions answered, a thorough understanding of the cause of the injury and how to rehabilitate it and the welcomed pain relief following targeted massage.

🎭 Undercover Therapy – Hiding Therapy in Play 🎲✨
Did you know games like UNO, Jenga, and Play Dough aren’t just fun — they’re therapeutic?

If you’ve ever seen a paediatric therapy session and thought, “Wait… they’re just playing games,” — you’re not wrong. But there’s more to it than meets the eye! 👀

🃏UNO
More than a card game! It builds:
✔️ Social skills (taking turns, coping with losses)
✔️ Planning + flexible thinking
✔️ Fine motor skills (holding, organizing cards)
Try playing ‘Snap!’ with Uno cards for extra focus, reaction time, and number/color recognition 🧠

🎯 JENGA
Jenga = fun + focus + fine motor control.
👉 Great for learning patience and coordination.
👉 Try rule variations (like using only one hand) or add questions to blocks to spark conversations!
👉 Giant Jenga = full-body engagement 💪

🎨 PLAY DOUGH
So much more than squishing and shaping:
✔️ Strengthens fine motor skills
✔️ Encourages teamwork + communication
✔️ Opens the door to emotional expression
✔️ Bonus: Making the dough = an intro to measuring, following steps, and even cooking skills!

💡 These playful moments hold powerful learning opportunities. This school holiday, gather the family and try a therapeutic round of Uno — disguised as fun 😄

🏋️ Why the Squat is Key for a Stronger, Healthier Body 🏋️

The squat is essential for protecting your lower back, improving posture, and staying strong as you age. It strengthens key muscles like the glutes, quads, and lower back—helping with everyday tasks like lifting groceries, picking up kids, and even getting off the couch.

Exercises like squats and kettlebell swings reinforce this pattern, reducing pain, preventing injury, and enhancing overall mobility. A strong lower body makes daily activities easier and helps keep you injury-free as you age.

To take your strength and mobility to the next level, book an appointment today! Click here >> https://bit.ly/3zeaIOa
