As a group of health professionals we have chosen Quality & Professionalism, Innovation, Community and Continuous Improvement as our 7 Core Values.
Integrity
Our team believes in being honest and transparent with everything without any hidden agenda. This is the biggest foundation on how we build trust within our team, with our referral partners, and with our clients. Simply put, this means doing as you say you will.
Respect
We believe it is essential to respect ourselves and respect others, regardless of who they are. We are open-minded about other people's beliefs and don't judge someone based on race, skin colour, religion, marital status or sexual orientation.
Positivity
We always show up with a positive attitude and encourage our clients to do the same. This is important to create an uplifting environment and achieve great results together. We love to crack jokes and have a laugh with our clients, which we believe actually leads to better results.
Ownership
Our actions define who we are as people and as therapists. We take ownership for all of our actions and inactions. We don't believe in making excuses and never play the blame game. We appreciate the good times and embrace our struggles.
Commitment
When we work with our clients, we have a responsibility in providing the best possible care for them - we accept a duty of care. We are always asking ourselves: "what is best for our clients?" With commitment to each other, we are often able to achieve outstanding results.
Teamwork
By working together, we can achieve much more than working alone. By embodying all of our core values and having a clear vision, our team works together to have a greater impact on our community. In a team, 1 + 1 does not equal 2.
Growth
We take pride in who we are and what we do. We often travel around the country to take courses and learn new skills and techniques for our clients. We believe the hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars are the best investments in achieving our mission - to improve the health of our community and have a positive impact on people's lives.
Our sponsored charities.
Movember
With a life expectancy of almost 5 years less than that of women, men and their health has been one of the big unspoken issues in society. Whether it be a lack of awareness, difficulty in speaking openly about health issues or simply "men being men" a change in thinking is needed.
Movember is a global men's health movement pushing for change and uses the moustache as a catalyst to give men confidence to speak about their problems and bring these issues out into the open.
With several male therapists and reception staff we chose Movember as one of our 2 charities to support. Since 2013 Activ Therapy have proudly been sponsoring through contribution and staff participation (from impressive to not so impressive mo growth).
If you would like to find out more follow this link to the Movember website and help raise awareness for men's health.

National Breast Cancer Foundation
An incredible 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer in their lifetime and 7 women die every day from this disease. Breast Cancer has touched so many in our communities throughout Australia and the search continues to find a cure.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation has the ambition aim of beating breast cancer and achieving zero deaths by 2030. They aim to achieve this through funding the passionate people that will research projects in all parts of the spectrum, from improving the quality of life of those who already have breast cancer, to prevention and ultimately to find a cure.
Breast Cancer is a condition close to the hearts of several team members and we are proud to support the search for a cure. If you would like to make a donation or find out more on how to fundraise or help then follow this link to the NBCF website and help beat breast cancer.

Research Partnership
Volunteers required. Do you have low back pain?
The UPWARD study is a project being carried out by the University of Western Sydney and University of New South Wales. It is a 4 years which will follow participants from the onset of their low back pain to better understand why back pain differs among individuals with some getting better while others do not. This study will help therapists better treat their patients who present with low back pain.
Persisting lower back pain is the most common form of musculo-skeletal pain and is considered the "western epidemic" due to it's impact on productivity, suffering and disability. In 2010 the Australian National Pain Summit concluded that the management of pain is inadequate. This is unsurprising given the gaps that exist in our knowledge of lower back pain.
The UPWARD study will look at the roles of the brain, hormonal changes, stress and biological changes in the spinal cord in the development of persistent lower back pain.
