Why is behaviour change important in physiotherapy? 

Behaviour change sits at the heart of physiotherapy. 

What motivated you to investigate the effects of specific abdominal exercises on inter-recti distance during pregnancy? 

What motivated you to investigate not just the effectiveness of telerehabilitation but what people with knee pain actually value in these consultations? 

What motivated you to look beyond the effectiveness of goal setting and pain science education and instead explore the mechanisms driving their impact? 

Physiotherapy is one of the most clinically diverse professions in healthcare. 

The APA’s national groups span the breadth of practice—working across public, private and community settings to deliver care throughout the life span. 

Developing education that reflects this breadth of practice is no small task. 

That’s why we’re proud to see education established as a dedicated pillar within the APA’s strategic plan, Towards 2030. 

An injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common sporting injuries in Australia—particularly in sports that involve a lot of pivoting, jumping and stopping quickly—and typically occurs in teenagers and young adults. 

I’ve just returned from APASC25, our biennial scientific conference, where more than 1700 delegates came together to share the latest research, technology and clinical practice. 

APASC25 showed that Australian physiotherapists are not just keeping pace with change; we are driving it. 

From digital rehabilitation and musculoskeletal innovation to rural workforce reform and culturally safe models of care, every session reflected one truth: physiotherapy is essential to the health and wellbeing of our communities. 

Jo Morris has been at the forefront of advanced and extended scope physiotherapy practice in Australia since 2007, when she began working in primary contact roles in the emergency department.

Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) describes a constellation of potential symptoms that commonly occur after sustaining a mild traumatic brain injury. 

Signs of PCS can present as physical, cognitive and emotional disturbances (outlined in Table 1).
