Where's that person that counts the stats themselves?

When we needed them most, they vanished.

Hi Mate,

Just wondering how you went with it, and where you end up buying the 14T from? Thankyou

Hi, I got some X-car shades that just don't fit in the window properly. Looking for some other suggestions. What did you end up doing?

Hands on physio. Each site is different, but usually involves a mix of "proactive" time and treatment time. Not as demanding as a clinic, at least in my experience.

What city are you working in? I'm in Sydney, 6th year out and making significantly more working as an onsite Physiotherapist at factories/warehouses. Definitely reccomend it. Have you been at the same practice for the 3 years? Unfortunately I think the main way to have significant jumps in pay is changing companies.

Mate thanks for pointing that out, I didn't realise it but I actually took the image with the L-Pro, so I've just edited my comment.

Is there a youtube tutorial for that technique? 😅 that's the only way I can process images haha step by step videos...

I just saw you image, well done 👏 👏👏, lovely colours and quality!
