A landmark study has found the virus that causes COVID-19 accumulates and persists in the body - especially the brain - for years after infection.

The international team of scientists believe what they have discovered can help explain long COVID.

The research builds on other studies showing the invasiveness of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the long-term implications.

“Using optical clearing and imaging, we observed the accumulation of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the skull-meninges-brain axis of human COVID-19 patients, persisting long after viral clearance,” the study authors reported in leading biomedical journal Cell Host and Microbe last week.

Meninges are three layers of membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Infectious disease experts in Australia have acclaimed the peer-reviewed study.

Professor Brendan Crabb, Director and CEO of the Burnet Institute for Medical Research and Public Health in Melbourne said the study underlined the need to treat COVID more seriously.

“This work uses cutting edge imaging technology to see things (molecules and cellular structures) to a resolution not achieved before in and around the brains of people infected with SARS-Cov-2 and mice infected with a version of SARS-Cov-2 modified to (infect) mice.

“The virus moves around the body, elegantly confirming what we already know.

“This paper shows that the virus, and especially shed spike protein, can persist around the brain for a long period of time, driving a pathological inflammatory response. This is proposed as a likely cause of the neurological symptoms people with acute and long forms of COVID experience.

“Although not without limitations, this works adds substantially to a large body of work that says COVID enters via the respiratory tract but goes into your bloodstream and so quickly moves around the body accessing many tissues, including the outer regions of the brain.

“Virus in this brain region likely persists and seemingly sheds spike protein which can be further neuro-invasive and persist even longer, (for) years even. This spike persistence is pathological, driving inflammatory responses that have likely consequences for proper brain functioning, such as memory, cognition and neurodegenerative diseases.”

“Next time you think of dismissing COVID as just another annoying common cold it may pay to visualise what you see so starkly in this paper, the virus moving freely around your body and finding a long-term home in all sorts of places where it can really cause trouble, including the brain and the heart,” Prof Crabb, who’s on the board of the WA-based Kids Research Institute Australia, added.

“This work further emphasises the need for individuals, and societies as a whole to take this infection more seriously and try and reduce the amount of transmission using the tools we currently have, most especially vaccination, clean indoor air approaches and well-fitted masks in crowded and poorly ventilated indoor settings.”

“It also showed mRNA spike-based vaccines are protective against spike accumulating in the brain periphery, consistent with what we already know about their protective effect in long COVID.”

Perth long COVID sufferer Melissa Challenor has been sick for two years.

“It’s not getting any better for me,” she said on Friday. “People like me are not making shit up. It’s in our brains, it’s in our bodies, it’s in our organs.

“I’m still being seen by the senior neuro physio at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital who’s been amazing, but now he’s sort of going, ‘Well, where do I refer you? Do I refer you to the Parkinson’s people? Do I refer you to the dementia people?’ Because the neurological symptoms are really quite bad.”

In a commentary published by the Medical Journal of Australia two weeks, researchers from the Burnet Institute said long COVID may be driven by “long infection” and that persistent replicating SARS‐CoV‐2 may be the “unifying driver for long COVID”.

The institute’s Dr Michelle Scoullar said studies had found traces of the virus in many tissues, blood and the gut well after an initial infection.

“We know vaccines can reduce the risk of long COVID, but if the virus continues to be active, antiviral treatments could be a potential treatment for long COVID and might even offer a cure,” she said.

“By prioritising prevention, advancing treatments, and improving access to vaccines, we can take significant steps toward addressing the global challenge of long COVID.”

In the United States, about 5.5 per cent of people infected with COVID experience long-term health effects, including fatigue, muscle pain, and impaired cognitive function.

A recent study demonstrated a lowering of IQ by six points in individuals with long COVID relative to unaffected individuals. Individuals with mild acute infection showed a three‐point drop in IQ. Children can also get long COVID. A US study in August reported symptoms in 6-to-11 year-olds were different to those for adolescents.

Researchers at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine found that “younger children were more likely to experience a cluster of symptoms relating to stomach and digestive problems, and another characterised by sleep and memory/focus issues, while adolescents had a cluster dominated by change in smell or taste.”

Long COVID also carries an economic burden in terms of lost labour hours. It cost the Australian economy about $9.6 billion in 2022, a study by The Kirby Institute at the University of NSW, reported.

Get Your Shit Together - Chapter 6

genre: 2024 Season AU

pairing: Romantic! oc x two people because y'all voted on a triangle ;). platonic! oc x literally the whole grid.

warnings: lots swearing, mentions of the accident and crimes, discussions about gangs, mentions of bars and alcohol. Paranoia and an argument. love triangle crumbs

context: Part 1 and Masterlist…

Comments: massive lore drop but I've tried to keep the story moving and interesting. I'm a sucker for small details so I hope y'all have good memories ;)

"I'm in a witness protection program."

Sadie clenched her jaw, unsure what else to say. Lando and Max were silent.

"What did you see?" Lando's voice was so soft Sadie barely heard him over the road noise.

Her right hand flexed on the steering wheel. "I can't tell you that."

"Why did you volunteer?"

"Because I love F1."

Max chimed in. "You said it's too public, too many cameras."

"What I reported happened after Melbourne and just before SIlverstone. I- I think it would be better if I just told you, wouldn't it."

"Yes," Lando muttered, not meeting her glance.

"Okay, well. I was working a bar in Sydney and witnessed a crime. I was seen calling the cops and..." She took a deep breath. "And let's just say that I had dobbed on someone dangerous. Someone influential and known to police."

"You snitched on a gangster?" Lando's wide eyes would have made Sadie laugh in any other situation. "A real life gangster?"

"I didn't know who they were! I was cornered in an alley the next day and after that I spent all of my money on a two week stay in England. From there, I reported the attempted assault and was told to stay in England for the two weeks. The police said they could use that time to get me into witness protection and set up the right safeguards, if I anonymously testify in court. It happened to be the Grand Prix weekend, so I volunteered instead of sitting around."

"Attempted assault?" Max stressed.

Sadie glanced at him in the rear view and her silence was answer enough. You don't need to know.

"Let me get this right. You snitched on a gang, were threaten and then ran to England?!"

"Yeah, pretty much." Her tone didn't match her racing heart.

"What happened to 'too many cameras'?" Lando toyed with his silver necklace.

"Obviously I didn't consider how dramatically you were going to break your ankle in turn, whatever it was. I figured, as a medic, I’d spend a lot of time in areas with very few to no cameras.”

Sadie glanced at the phone Lando showed her and, with one hand on the wheel, swung them left and down a small side street.

“You are right, though,” Max observed. “The reporters aren’t allowed in the medical tents unless they’re unwell themselves.”

“Is that why you’re in Melbourne? Are you from Sydney?” She could hear curiosity in Lando’s voice.

“It’s complicated.” Sadie grimaced.

“It’s seems like everything is,” Max muttered.

“Oh, shush,” she joked. She knew it had landed when both boys smiled slightly. “I grew up just outside of Melbourne. I’ve been working back at that bar since I was 18. I took some unofficial leave in June to experience working in another city while we had extra staff. In hindsight, I shouldn’t have chosen Sydney.”

The boys were quiet as Sadie explained her time working at bars in Sydney and enjoying the nightlife of another city. She talked about the move up there and the sudden disappearance to England. Some of her stuff was still in Sydney, including some personal keepsakes like a bracelet from her mother. Sadie explained that Lewis and Max knew about the witness protection, but nothing further. She’d only told them when they visited her in hospital the day after the accident and after some significant convincing. She answered questions about her leg and how it had healed, which had turned out to be quite well.

“How much physio did you have to do?” There was guilt in Lando’s question.

“Just some at home things, it was quite easy,” Sadie admitted. She didn’t want to elaborate on the facts she hadn’t done any official physio because she couldn’t afford it. Australian public health care was good, but not that good. “How well has the ankle healed?”

“It was slower than I wanted but I’m cleared for next season which is good.”

Max grumbled, “but he didn’t stop complaining about it for months.”

“I was in pain, mate!”

“I know! You told me every chance you got!”

Sadie smiled at their banter, glad they weren’t holding up walls of suspicion anymore.

As she pulled up to the Piastri Family home, she cleared her throat. “I- ummm… It was good to see you again Lando, and good to meet you Max.”

“Oh no,” Lando chided. “We’re not done, I am not letting you just drive into the sunset again.”

��It’s already dark,” Sadie pointed out. “And that’s not what happened the first time.”

“And on that note, I’m out,” Max exclaimed. “It was lovely to meet you, Sadie. Thank you for what you did at Silverstone.”

He jumped out of the car before she could say anything and practically ran to the red front door of a small, low set home.

Lando undid his seatbelt and turned to face her, pulling a leg onto the seat.

“Sadie, you vanished.”

Straight into then.

“I feel better seeing that you’re in one piece, and not hearing it from news,” she murmured.

“That’s what you have to say?” he scoffed.

Sadie pushed down irritation. She might struggle to stay in one place for very long, but she was a patient person who had drawers of calm, collected masks to choose from.

When she didn’t answer, Lando shook his head and closed his eyes.

“How do you think I felt?” he snapped. “Lewis told me you had stitches. How many? I know you can walk, but how long did it take for the limp to go away? Did you need crutches? Because you know that I did, and you know how long I needed them for.”

“How much did Lewis tell you?”

“You’re focusing on the wrong thi-“

“How much, Lando?”

The panicked edge to her voice had Lando pausing, looking closer at her face through whatever haze was over his mind.

“Just that,” he breathed. “He told me you’d needed stitches but were okay. He wouldn’t tell me anything else.”

The fist around Sadie’s heart relaxed slightly as she sighed with relief. “Okay, as long as it was just that.”

“You’re scared,” he stated like he’d only just noticed. His watercolour eyes were lit slightly by a nearby street lamp. They appeared hazel in that light and it was a detail Sadie wished she hadn’t noted.

“I’m paranoid,” she replied just as curtly.

“I was scared,” he admitted, breaking the eye contact.

“That’s fair. If your ankle didn’t heal properly, your career might’ve been over.”

“No, that’s not- Well I was scared about that but I meant that I was scared for you.”

Sadie frowned. “What? Why?”

“I didn’t know if you were okay! You put yourself on the line for me, you saved my life and I didn’t know if you were okay!”

“I didn’t save your life,” she scoffed. “It wasn’t headed for your heart.”

“I rewatched the footage,” Lando confessed with a sheepish smile. “If you hadn’t put yourself between me and the track? The debris would have hit me and my career could have been over.”

“Your career, Lando. Not your life.” Her voice was the softest it had been all night. It even surprised her.

“My racing is my life, Sadie.”

“I-“ but he cut her off.

“I never got to thank you in person.”

“You can do it now.”

“No.”

“Why the fuck not?” Her patience was slipping. She pulled another mask from the drawer.

“I think you’d take it as closure, or something. Then you’d leave and I would never see you again.”

He wasn’t wrong. She’d began to form a plan on how to give him the answers he needed, and then vanish again. He was a liability to her safety.

“Would that be so bad?”

“Yes.” No hesitation.

She didn’t know what to say to that. Sadie couldn’t bring herself and meet the gaze she could feel on her.

“Max almost punched a reporter,” Lando said.

That had her looking up at him, a confused smile on her lips.

“What?”

“In the media pen, Max almost punched a reporter that wouldn’t stop asking about you.”

A laugh bubbled out of Sadie. Max Verstappen? Protecting the young woman who had ego-checked him at Albert Park?

“I’m serious!” Lando insisted, but his smile was widening. “The guy asked every driver, but Lewis and Max had already told everyone to say nothing. The reporter was so frustrated at getting ‘no comment’ from every driver. Max’s interview was second or third last and the reporter asked something so out of pocket. If you find the interview you can see Max trying not to hit the guy.”

Sadie laughed again, and she caught Lando grinning in her peripheral vision.

“I did make him swear on his championship,” she commented it.

“What?” It was obvious that detail was also new to Lando.

“After the incident, while we were still at the track, I made Lewis promise to hide me from the media. Max visited my hotel room a few days later, and I made him swear the same thing.”

“On his championship?” Lando was trying to hold back a laugh.

“Yeah.” Sadie couldn’t hold back her own.

They laughed for a few minutes at the absurd notion of Max swearing anything on his championship.

“Jesus,” Lando sighed. “That makes so much more sense now.”

“What does?”

“I tried to find you, after a month. Fuck, I even tried to rope half the grid into helping me find you, but Lewis and Max always shut it down. They never told my why, but I guess that’s it.”

“I’m not going to apologise for trying to protect myself.”

“You’re good at protecting,” he said.

It wasn’t the most random comment he’d made that night but it was the one that stuck out the most.

Sadie didn’t know how to reply.

She didn’t have a chance to think about it when she saw a shadowy figure moving toward the car.

“Lando, get out of sight,” she warned.

He was too shocked by the immediate change in demeanour and topic.

“What?”

“Just- oh. Nevermind.”

As the figure came closer, they stepped into the lamplight and Sadie recognised Oscar Piastri.

“It’s Piastri,” she breathed.

Lando wound down his window and waved.

Oscar leant down, rested both arms across the opened window and glanced between them.

“Hey, how are you?” He began.

“Could be better,” Sadie quipped with a joking smile.

“I’m trying to convince her to stay,” Lando explained.

Oscar raised an eyebrow. “Stay the night or-“

“No, Oscar!” Lando laughed and Sadie couldn’t help but like sound.

“He means in your lives. But I can’t.”

Oscar tilted his head sideways quizzically and some of his hair fell into his eyes. “Can’t or won’t.”

“Both.”

“You make it sound like you don’t have a choice,” he observed.

“She does,” Lando said at the same time as Sadie’s “I don’t.”

“Lando, I-“

“No, Sadie you do have a choice. Not every part of our lives is public.”

“I’m still very confused,” Oscar added.

Sadie’s patience slipped again. “Piastri, I fucked with some dangerous people, and I can’t let them find me. Lando, you don’t have a private life. If you’re not doing Formula One, you’re doing Quadrant; if you’re not doing Quadrant, you’re partying with Martin Garrix; and if you’re not partying, you’re posting something on Instagram. You live an incredibly public life, and that’s okay, but I can’t join that in any regard.”

Lando looked at her with stunned silence. Oscar was watching her with a very concerned expression. She pointed at him with an intense stare.

"You might think your life is fairly private, but when you post on social media everyone nit-pics at it because of how rare your posts are. And every sighting of you is scrutinised.”

A smile quirked at the corner of his mouth but he didn’t say anything.

Sadie pulled in a deep breath and pulled on another mask from the drawer.

“I’m sorry, to both of you, but I’m going to vanish again. I have to.”

“Are you in witness protection?” Oscar asked.

Sadie nodded with a frown. He’d put it together fast.

“When’s the court date?” Oscar’s deep brown were intensely focused on her.

“Wednesday, next week. I will be testifying anonymously.”

“So even if they have gang members who aren’t convicted, they won’t know it was you.” Lando pressed, catching onto Oscar’s train.

“Gang members?” Oscar’s went up an octave.

Sadie waved off the question and focused on Lando. “I see where this is going.”

“Then you can see why I’m right.” His eyes were set on hers, a hand set on the handbrake between them.

Sadie sighed and closed her eyes.

“All of the members who saw my face will be going on trial. A few of them have been convicted already.”

“So after next week, you won’t be in witness protection anymore.” Lando pressed.

“That will depend on whether they’re all convicted and how long their jail time is.”

As Sadie spoke, Oscar pulled out his wallet and an old receipt. He pulled a random marker from another pocket and wrote something on the back before handing them both to Lando. He took this hint and wrote something as well.

When he handed it to her, Sadie noted both their phone numbers and tiny signatures at the end of them.

“Text when the trial is over. Just a yes or no. A yes doesn’t mean that you’re going to to be thrust into the spot light. It’s a maybe.” Oscar said, running a hand through his brown hair.

“It’s a maybe I could thank you properly." Lando added. "A random dinner or a paddock pass to which ever race you want.”

That brought a small smile to Sadie’s face.

“Everyone at McLaren would want to thank you,” Oscar added, but there was a tightness to his jaw Sadie hadn’t noticed until then.

She caved.

“Alright maybe,” she said. “I’ll keep this but I'm not promising you anything.”

Oscar's soft smile said that's enough, but Lando's slight frown meant he wasn't ready to give up. Oscar noted it.

"Lando," he interrupted whatever the older driver was thinking. "Mum made chocolate cake while you were out and wants you to try it."

"She knows about our diets right?"

"She'll insist until you fly out."

Lando sighed with an amused smile and opened his door.

"I'm not going to say thank you, not yet. I'm not even going to say goodbye."

"It might be your only chance," Sadie reminded him.

Lando shook his head as he stood, brown curls waving in the small breeze. Oscar pushed his door shut gently and ducked his head back through the window.

They watched Lando walk away, oblivious to the fact Oscar wasn't on his heals.

"I saw it happen, at Silverstone," Oscar murmured. "I saw you make the choice."

"I didn't choose. I reacted. There was no choice, or thought process, or thoughts at all, actually. It was just an action."

"An action we're all grateful for, but-" His voice dropped, as if Lando would hear him if he was any louder. "- I want to thank you for making that choice, or doing that action, whatever."

"Stop," Sadie demanded. "Stop, Piastri."

He did. The first one to stop the first time she asked.

She pulled in a deep breathe and calmly explained, "I did what I did. It happened. I know you're all grateful, but it has to stay at that. This is not a movie, where a chance meeting leads to years of friendship."

"I wouldn't call being hospitalised for being a human shield, a chance encounter," Oscar noted dryly.

"You get my point," she replied.

"I do, and I think I understand." He stepped away from the car. "You have our numbers. Call us and we will be there."

Sadie smiled slightly but didn't give him any hope.

"Go, before Lando comes back out."

"It was good to meet you, Piastri."

"Good luck, Sadie."

With that, the handbrake was off, car in gear and she was gone.

I know y'all loved the Max/Sadie dynamic in chapters 1 and 2 so how about some more Max content next chapter? ;)

Comprehensive NDIS Services in Melbourne: Finding the Right Support for a Better Quality of Life

Navigating the world of disability support can feel overwhelming, but for eligible Australians, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers a structured, participant-focused way to access essential services. Whether you’re looking for in-home care, therapy, social support, or independent living assistance, NDIS services can be tailored to help you achieve your goals and live a fulfilling life.

If you're based in Victoria, especially in Melbourne, you’re in a great position to access a wide range of high-quality, local NDIS support services. This blog will guide you through what these services involve, how to find the right NDIS services provider, and why personalized NDIS care is so important to your wellbeing.

What Are NDIS Services?

NDIS services refer to a broad range of supports funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme for people with permanent and significant disabilities. These services are designed to assist participants in building their skills, increasing independence, improving social inclusion, and living safely and comfortably.

Some of the most common types of NDIS support services include:

Personal care and assistance with daily living

Therapy services (speech, physio, occupational therapy)

Assistance with employment and education

Community participation support

Home modifications and assistive technology

Transport and mobility assistance

Respite and short-term accommodation

Each NDIS plan is unique to the individual, meaning participants have the freedom to choose the supports they need and how they are delivered.

The Importance of NDIS Care Tailored to You

The term NDIS care encompasses all personal and professional supports that help an individual meet their daily living goals and long-term ambitions. From helping you get out of bed in the morning to guiding you through a career plan, every aspect of care is designed with your individual needs and preferences in mind.

Tailored NDIS care can positively impact:

Independence: Empowering you to do more for yourself.

Health and safety: Reducing risks and ensuring your wellbeing.

Social life: Supporting participation in the community.

Mental wellbeing: Promoting emotional resilience and confidence.

That’s why choosing the right NDIS services provider is so crucial—they are the ones who help turn your plan into a reality.

NDIS Home Care: Comfort and Support Where You Need It Most

For many NDIS participants, remaining in their own home is a priority. NDIS home care services make this possible by bringing essential supports directly to your door.

These services may include:

Personal hygiene and grooming

Meal preparation and nutrition support

Medication reminders

Light housekeeping

Companionship and emotional support

Transport for medical appointments or shopping

Whether you need a few hours a week or full-time assistance, NDIS home care ensures you receive high-quality, reliable support in a familiar and comfortable setting.

NDIS Services in Melbourne: A Hub of Excellence

When it comes to accessing top-tier NDIS services, Melbourne is one of the most well-resourced cities in Australia. With a broad selection of experienced and registered providers, participants have access to diverse and specialised care options.

Why choose NDIS services Melbourne participants trust?

Wide provider network: From large organisations to boutique care services, there's a range of choices.

Multicultural support: Melbourne’s diverse community is reflected in culturally aware and inclusive providers.

Access to top medical and allied health professionals

Advanced infrastructure and transport links for easier access to services

Whether you live in the CBD, suburbs like Footscray or Dandenong, or surrounding regions, there’s a provider ready to support your NDIS journey.

How to Choose the Right NDIS Services Provider

A reliable NDIS services provider can make your experience with the scheme smooth and empowering. Here’s what to look for:

NDIS Registration: Ensure they are officially registered and meet national quality standards.

Experience and Specialisation: Choose providers who understand your condition or support requirements.

Flexibility: Services should be adaptable to your needs, schedule, and preferences.

Transparent Pricing: All services should follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements.

Personalised Approach: Providers should focus on person-centred planning and listen to what matters most to you.

You can use the NDIS Provider Finder tool or speak to your support coordinator to identify top-rated providers near you.

Making the Most of Your NDIS Plan

To get the best from your NDIS support services, consider the following:

Set clear goals: Whether it’s improving mobility, learning new skills, or joining a community group, your goals guide your supports.

Communicate openly: Let your provider know what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d like to change.

Review regularly: As your needs evolve, update your plan and services accordingly.

Final Thoughts

Whether you're seeking daily assistance, therapeutic care, or help around the home, NDIS services provide the foundation for living independently and confidently. From tailored NDIS care to trusted NDIS services providers in your area, every support can be customised to suit your lifestyle and goals.

If you’re located in Victoria, exploring NDIS services Melbourne participants rely on gives you access to some of the most qualified and compassionate providers in the country.

[ad_1] Mohammed Siraj in action at the Gabba (PC: Debasis Sen) Over the last four years, Mohammed Siraj has seen it all. He lost his father early into the tour of Australia in November 2020 and could not come home because of the quarantine norms Down Under. What’s more, none of his teammates could even go to his room to give him a shoulder to cry on. At the time, there were police outside every room just in case the Indians tried to violate protocol. Only the physio was allowed to go to his room to treat him, and Nitin Patel used the window to console the young man who was in mourning. Enduring grief, he stayed on to do duty for his team and had a dream debut in Melbourne. And now, he is back in the same city with his team on the cusp of history. And just like in 2021, when there was racial abuse directed at him in Sydney, this time round it is constant booing each time the ball is given to him. Siraj v Travis Head is a story within a story, and Siraj has faced a lot already. But then, that’s what helps set it up for him. The Boxing Day Test is what scripted the early part of the Siraj narrative. And now, it’s the Boxing day Test once more that could complete his redemption. He hasn’t been his usual self this series, and as a result, Jasprit Bumrah has lacked the support he so badly needs. India need Siraj, and the time is now. With Siraj, you always get 100 percent. That’s him. He might lose, but in terms of effort, there will never be any less push. And that’s what makes him special. He draws our attention to the fact that there is so much more to sport than winning or losing. That one team will win on a given day, and one will lose despite their best efforts, is only a surface reality. What is at times more important than winning or losing, the stuff that we don’t often see, may well convey the true significance of sport. The success of Siraj is such a story. Funny banter at the Gabba between Marnus Labuschagne and Mohammed Siraj (PC: Debasis Sen) Here is a young man from Hyderabad who lost his father but was unable to come back to his family. In grief, he was trying to bring smiles to millions of faces with his teammates cheering him on in Australia. He wasn’t Muslim or Hindu. He was Indian. This was the India of our dreams turning into reality. This was an India of hope, and an India that dared to dream. Siraj isn’t the most eloquent. He need not be. What he is and will be is what our country is all about. Hard work and more hard work, with dignity and integrity, and the realisation that such effort does pay off. Siraj is the perfect underdog story, which we so identify with in India, and that’s what makes him relevant. He has failed on multiple occasions in the past, just like so many of us have. But he dared to push and eventually win. Can he do it again? A little more discipline and self-restraint, and he can indeed win the battle in Melbourne. And if Siraj can, we can.

Home Visit Physio: Personalised, Convenient Care at Your Door

The convenience of getting home visit physio may have a significant impact. People looking for individualised care are increasingly choosing home visit physiotherapy, particularly those with hectic schedules, restricted mobility, or a preference to avoid crowded clinics.

Two of the most popular and easily available home physio for rest, recuperation, and renewal among these services are massage therapy and hydrotherapy. Melbourne massage and hydrotherapy have special advantages that can help your path to improved health, whether you're trying to relax, manage chronic pain, or recover from an injury.

Continuous Care and Education-Based Progress Tracking

Your physiotherapy home visits will walk you through your exercises at each session to make sure you are doing them safely and correctly. In order to get the best outcomes, they will also keep an eye on your development and modify the treatment plan as necessary. The physiotherapist will educate you on how to prevent injuries, how to use your body properly, and how to adapt your lifestyle to enhance your health throughout your therapy.

The physio will create a personalised treatment plan based on the evaluation, which may involve manual therapy, stretches, and exercises. They could also provide guidance on lifestyle changes, such as how to improve your posture or how to keep your house safe. In order to help you stay motivated and accomplish your rehabilitation objectives, they will also provide support and encouragement.

Improved Detoxification and Circulation

Both Hydrotherapy & Massage in Melbourne are important for increasing circulation. By widening blood arteries, the warm water used in hydrotherapy improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. This can enhance general vigour and healing. By increasing blood flow to muscles and tissues, massage treatment enhances circulation, which aids in the body and its detoxification and the removal of waste products from metabolism, such as lactic acid.

In Melbourne, hydrotherapy and massage treatment are a potent combination that may enhance your general quality of life, mental health, and physical health. These therapies may be very helpful in helping you relax, heal, and rejuvenate, whether you're recuperating from an accident, managing chronic pain, or just trying to de-stress.

How Go Run Go Physio Support TAC Clients in Their Recovery Journey

Introduction

Recovering from a transport-related injury isn’t just about managing pain; it’s about rebuilding your life.

At Go Run Go Physio, we provide dedicated, expert-led physio support for TAC clients to help you reclaim movement, independence, and quality of life.

We understand that no two injuries or individuals are the same. That’s why our team takes a personalised approach to physiotherapy, supporting you through every stage of your recovery journey. With extensive experience working with TAC clients across Melbourne, we are committed to offering a high standard of care tailored to your specific goals, challenges, and needs.

What Physiotherapy for TAC Clients Involves

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in helping those injured in transport accidents regain strength, mobility, and function. At Go Run Go Physio, our services are designed to support you not just physically, but emotionally and functionally as well.

Common Goals of Physiotherapy After an Accident

Reduce acute and chronic pain

Improve joint mobility and muscle strength

Restore independence in daily activities

What a Treatment Plan May Include

Each physiotherapy plan is tailored but typically involves

Manual therapy to reduce stiffness and tension

Exercise rehabilitation to rebuild strength and endurance

Postural education and ergonomic advice

Dry needling or cupping for pain relief (if appropriate)

Functional training for activities like walking, lifting, or climbing stairs

We also collaborate with your GP and other healthcare providers to ensure your care remains coordinated and comprehensive.

How Go Run Go Physio Supports Your Recovery Journey

Our approach at Go Run Go Physio is built around your recovery goals. We provide a safe and supportive environment where your physical progress and overall well-being come first.

You’ll work directly with a qualified physiotherapist who understands the specific challenges associated with transport-related injuries. Our team brings deep clinical knowledge and a caring, hands-on approach to each session.

Conditions Commonly Treated Under Physiotherapy After Transport Injuries

Some of the most common conditions we treat include:

Whiplash and cervical strain

Lower back and spinal injuries

Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff damage

Knee injuries such as ligament sprains or meniscus tears

Fractures and dislocations

Be consistent with appointments and follow-up exercises

Communicate any concerns or pain levels with your physio

Stay active in a way that’s safe and guided
