Meet Caitlin Hobday, our occupational therapist/lymphoedema therapist!

Before becoming an occupational therapist, Caitlin Hobday worked as a travel agent. These days, her work focuses on supporting people through cancer rehabilitation and lymphoedema care.

Caitlin has additional training in lymphoedema management, including head and neck lymphoedema. Her work includes manual lymphatic drainage, movement-based therapy and helping patients with suitable compression garments.

She also brings experience in rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery, giving her a valuable understanding of the practical challenges people can face during recovery.

Away from the clinic, you’ll often find Caitlin enjoying the beach with her much-loved dog.

We’re so lucky to have Caitlin as part of our team. If you’d like to ask about an appointment with Caitlin, call our team on 02 4312 7033.

The sun’s out, you’re feeling a little better, and suddenly the garden, the housework and the long walk all seem possible.

If you’re managing ongoing pain, it can be tempting to squeeze everything into a good day.

Pacing means planning activity in manageable amounts. That might look like:

• Tackling one section of the garden.
• Breaking a larger household job into stages.
• Following the activity plan agreed with your therapist.
• Planning breaks before you feel worn out.

The aim is to find a routine you can repeat, with room for the things you enjoy.

If you’re unsure how much activity is appropriate, ask your treating clinician to help you set a starting point and a plan for building up.

Save this for your next “I’ll just get it all done” day.

Young athletes put a lot into the sports they love, and injuries can sometimes become part of the journey.

From swimming and running to football, netball, gymnastics, dance and everything in between, appropriate injury management and rehabilitation can help young athletes work towards a safe return to their sport.

In this video, you can see MLS Laser Therapy being used as part of the treatment approach for a 16 year old swimmer experiencing bursitis.

MLS Laser Therapy may be used as part of a broader, personalised rehabilitation plan to support recovery from a range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.

At Coastal Rehab Hub, we work with athletes of different ages, sports and abilities, tailoring rehabilitation and recovery support to the individual.

If your young athlete is dealing with an injury or struggling with recovery, get in touch with our team at 02 4312 7033 to find out how we may be able to support them.

Maybe taking care of yourself is kinda chic after all. ✨

Between busy schedules, work, family, training and everything else life throws at us, it can be easy to put our own health and recovery at the bottom of the list. But making time to support your body, regulate your nervous system and prioritise your wellbeing is never time wasted.

Whether it’s taking 15 minutes to reset, supporting your recovery, or simply making more space for your health, small moments of self-care can make a meaningful difference.

At Coastal Rehab Hub, we’re here to help you make time for the things that support how you feel, move and recover.

Kinda chic, if you ask us. ✨

This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating all the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, father figures and men who show up for the people around them. 💙

Whether they’re spending long days on the tools, keeping active on the sporting field, chasing after the kids or simply juggling the demands of everyday life, fathers often give a lot to others - and can forget to make time for their own health and recovery.

At Coastal Rehab Hub, we’re here to support the men in your life with services designed to help them move, recover and feel their best. Supporting their health with a session in the Prism Light Pod is one option, offering a simple way to make time for recovery and wellbeing. Visit our website through the link in our bio to find out more.

Wishing all the amazing dads and father figures in our community a very Happy Father’s Day. 💙
