July News from Revive
JUNE WAS SCOLIOSIS AWARENESS MONTH
June was Scoliosis awareness month, and although we missed promoting this in June it's important enough to shout out about it this month.
As our kids are no longer screened at school for scoliosis we are finding our young ones (mostly girls) falling through the cracks and not being diagnosed early - early diagnosis equals better outcomes and more treatment options!
So for the school holidays we are offering gap free 15 min scoliosis checks for your kids. it's a quick and simple process and if we detect anything of concern we will refer on for more tests and to a specialist if need be.
Scoliosis is 10 times more prevalent in girls than boys and they should routinely be checked in Grades 3 and 5 for the best chance of early detection and better outcomes. Scoliosis can be passed on from Mother to daughter so if there is a family history it is prudent to have your girls checked.

What is happening in July?
July is Sarcoma awareness month:
This year's theme 'Go Yellow Anywhere for Sarcoma Awareness' highlights the word 'anywhere' as sarcoma is a unique cancer that can form anywhere in the body.
Each year, hundreds will be diagnosed with a type of sarcoma and will go through a challenging experience – often a long and hard journey to
getting better through grueling cycles of treatment.
At Revive, our oncology physiotherapist Megan treats multiple Sarcoma patients. This month gives us the opportunity to stand in solidarity
with the Sarcoma community of Revive and spread awareness.

Chronic Pain Australia wants to draw attention to the experience of people living with chronic pain and, by doing so, reduce the social and other barriers related to living and managing chronic pain.
As a Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology based clinic, everyday we see patients who struggle with chronic and ongoing pain. At Revive, our
role is to help manage complex persistent pain. The approach to this is multi-modal and requires a team approach and an understanding
of pain and pain science. At Revive we keep abreast of the latest research into chronic pain to we can best support those in our
community who experience chronic pain so they can return to doing the things they love.
