The Beaches Clinical Journal
Useful thinking,
clearly explained.
Clinical notes on diagnosis, treatment choices and rehabilitation, written to help patients and professionals understand the reasoning behind care.
From the clinical team
Evidence matters.
So does context.
These articles explain how we think about common clinical decisions. They are educational, not personal medical advice, and they do not replace an assessment.
Blood profiling
Finger-prick or venous blood tests: what does Inuvi’s evidence tell us?
Both collection methods can be useful. The right choice depends on the marker, the collection tube and how the sample reaches the laboratory.
Diagnostic ultrasound
What does diagnostic ultrasound add to an assessment?
A scan is most useful when it answers a focused clinical question and changes what happens next.
Shockwave therapy
Radial and focused shockwave: what is the difference?
They deliver energy differently. The right choice depends on the condition, target and wider rehabilitation plan.
Rehabilitation
Why measure strength during rehabilitation?
Objective testing adds repeatable numbers to the symptoms, movements and goals discussed in the room.
We will update this journal as clinical guidance, services and our teaching develop.
