Why Your Annual Health Check Should Be on Your To Do List

• Preventative care at the Medical Centre
• Treating nagging injuries with Physio
• Convenient access to local health services
• Setting a healthy baseline for 2026

January hits differently here in the Port, doesn't it? The Christmas chaos is finally over, the kids are still on holiday and things are starting to feel a bit calmer before the year really kicks off in full swing. 

While everyone's decluttering the garage or sorting the pantry, why not tackle some "life admin" by putting your health first?

We often take our wellbeing for granted until something goes wrong. This year, why not flip the script? It’s time to turn off cruise control. Prioritising an annual review with Port Plaza Medical Centre  is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your family.

Start With a General Check Up

When was the last time you saw a GP for a general review? Not because you were sick, but just to check your baseline? Our medical centre makes it easy with bulk-billed appointments, on site SA Pathology and trained dietitians all under one roof. 

They'll check the basics like blood pressure and cholesterol, chat about your wellness and give you that reassuring baseline for the year ahead. Catching things early makes all the difference.

Sort Out Those Annoying Aches

Been toughing out a dodgy back or a stiff knee for months? We all do it, hoping it will just go away. Now is the time to sort it out. Cadence Physio & Pilates offers expert physiotherapy services to assess and treat those lingering injuries. Combining physio with clinical Pilates can also help prevent future issues by strengthening the body correctly.

Let's get you moving with proper activation, strength and mobility to bring back the joy of feeling strong and healthy.

The Best Part - It's All So Convenient

We know that finding the time is the biggest barrier to healthcare. That is why we are proud to be a local hub where you can combine your errands. You can see the doctor, visit the physio and pick up your prescriptions or health essentials all in one trip.

Don’t wait for the year to get busy again. It is always better to be proactive rather than reactive. Pop over to Port Plaza Medical Centre in Port Adelaide or check our directory to book your appointment today. 

Let’s make 2026 your healthiest year yet!
