Well, we’ve come to the end of another incredible year on Tamborine Mountain and begun a brand new one. We all hoped 2021 would be a little different to 2020 and it was in many ways even better. We welcomed a new Physique family member in little Abel Cvelbar, Jess and I thought our wedding was so nice we decided to do it twice and we have welcomed three new staff members this year.

We feel incredibly grateful that we are a part of this wonderful Mountain and incredibly fortunate to be able to provide a close and supportive helping hand to the members of our community. The love that our community has shown to all of us at Physique these past couple of years is one of the greatest things to emerge from the pandemic.

We are constantly reminded about how special Physique is to many people in our community and that makes us even more committed to making sure we continue to look after each and every one of you to the best of our abilities. We wouldn’t be able to provide the care we do without our AMAZING team, and I’d like to thank all of them.

First of all, thank you to Neil and Bec. Physique has grown out of the hard work you two have poured into it over the past decade or so and everyone at Physique and the entire community is very, very grateful. Thanks for pushing all of us in the clinic to be the best we can be every day.

Thank you, Dave, for your unwavering joyfulness, commitment to growth and the effort you put into all your patients. You light up the clinic with your (admittedly improving) dad jokes and you’re an incredible business partner.

Steve, thank you for your friendship, your incredible commitment to your patients and wonderful entertainment that you have provided at our many games nights throughout the year. You’re one hell of a dungeon master! You have been the rock at Physique for many years, and this community absolutely adores you. Thank you so much to Robyn; we are so grateful to have you lead our Pilates and Fit for Life services; you are an amazing asset to the community. Thanks to Matty; your first year as a physio is now finished and you have taken to it like a duck to water. You have made a huge difference to your patients' lives and to our lives.

Thank you to our amazing front desk team. Ingrid, your loyalty and trustworthiness set you apart and the love you show to all people in this community is wonderful to see. You are a deserving winner of the Physique Champion Award for 2021. Kylee, we welcome your calmness, organisation, genuine kindness and joy. Bronie, thank you for your work ethic, creativity and innovation in everything you do.

Thank you most of all to Jess. You are the most amazing person I know. Physique (and more importantly I) would be totally lost without you.

This year make sure that those you love know that they are loved and make sure you take the time to say the things you need to say to each other. Be sure you cherish every moment you have with your loved ones and be sure you are eternally grateful that you live in this amazing community.

From the whole team at Physique, thank you for 2021. Here’s looking forward to a new year full of love, happiness and memories.
