DUNBAR LIFE: Ask An Expert Why rummage? Introducing RUMMAGE, a local thrift store whose core belief is keeping landfills empty, offering affordable goods and providing a welcome space that fosters creativity. RUMMAGE was inspired by Angela (Hook) Bailey who first crafted a board game of the same name based on her love of garage sales. After losing her battle with cancer in 2020, the brand was left to her daughter Kyra, a long-time friend of Rummage owner, Zoe Pearce. In true community spirit, Kyra shared the name with Zoe to carry on Angie’s legacy of creating inclusive spaces. To honour that legacy, Rummage hosts community events from clothing swaps to button making. Do you have an idea to get creative in the store? Talk to one of our dedicated and creative team membersAnita, Cherise, Adrian, Cass, Josh, or Kyra. They’d love to talk to you!

DUNBAR LIFE: Ask An Expert I am tired of my back pain - what can physio do to help? Great question! Ongoing back pain is a very common problem and it impacts many of life’s activities. It can make simply rolling in bed or sitting in the car uncomfortable. Back pain will ruin many pleasures, keeping you from things that you love to do. It can isolate you from family and friends. So how does physio help? Physiotherapists are problem solvers and we work to solve your back pain. We determine: What is the injured structure; Why is the structure in pain; Contributing Factors – posture, weakness, tightness – what roles do these play. Next we plan the remedy: How do we stop ongoing irritation; What needs mobility; What needs strengthening; What postural changes are required; What life changes the patient may have to make; What in-clinic skills – manual therapy, IMS needling, Shock Wave Therapy, US, traction – can assist progress?
