Spotlight on Emily Farrell – Active Care Capalaba

Today I want to shine a big spotlight on someone who plays an important role in my health journey – Emily Farrell, Physiotherapist at Active Care Capalaba.

When you live with ongoing musculoskeletal challenges like I do, having the right physio makes a world of difference. It’s not just about exercises – it’s about understanding the whole person. Emily brings that balance of professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care every time I walk through the door.

🌟 A Personalised Approach

One thing I really appreciate about Emily is how she takes the time to listen. Whether we’re working on mobility, strengthening, posture, or managing flare-ups, she explains everything clearly. I always leave understanding:

  • What we worked on

  • Why we worked on it

  • What I need to continue at home

That clarity gives me confidence. And confidence is a huge part of recovery.

💪 Supporting My Bigger Health Goals

Being part of a wider health team, physiotherapy isn’t just a one-off appointment for me – it’s part of a long-term plan. Emily’s work supports:

  • Improving strength and function

  • Reducing pain and stiffness

  • Maintaining independence

  • Building long-term physical resilience

Every small win matters. Whether it’s improved movement, reduced discomfort, or feeling stronger week to week – it all adds up.

🤝 The Active Care Environment

Active Care Capalaba has a welcoming, professional vibe. You feel supported the moment you walk in. Having a team environment means there’s collaboration and shared knowledge, which is reassuring when you’re working toward long-term health goals.

📈 Progress Over Perfection

One thing I’ve learned on my journey is that progress isn’t always fast – but it is meaningful. Emily helps me focus on steady improvement rather than perfection. That mindset shift has been powerful.

Physiotherapy is more than just stretches and exercises. It’s about empowerment, education, and building strength – physically and mentally.

Thank you, Emily, for your dedication, patience, and support.
You’re a valued part of my health team, and I appreciate the work you do in helping me move better and feel stronger.

Until next time,
Luke ☕💛

Coffee with Luke: Real Estate Agent Hunt – A Bus Stop Safari!

Hi friends, and welcome back to another Coffee with Luke! Over the next couple of months, I’ve decided to take on a new, quirky, and totally local activity that’s part photography project, part social experiment, and part community exploration… and it all started with my morning coffee and a walk down the street. Lately, I’ve been noticing something that I can’t unsee now — real estate agents are everywhere. I don’t mean in the office or just on signs outside houses for sale. I mean in our bus shelters, on billboards, on the backs of benches, even popping up next to café menus and supermarket entrances — smiling faces, slick suits, and some VERY enthusiastic headshots. So, I thought… why not turn this into something fun? 🎯 The Mission: Over the next couple of months, I’ll be doing what I now call my “Real Estate Agent Hunt.” My goal is to walk, bus, or drive around my area and collect as many different real estate advertising photos as I can find. I’m talking about the ones displ...

The First 3 Faces in the Real Estate Billboard Jungle Hi legends and loyal readers of Coffee with Luke! If you live in Brisbane, chances are you've walked past a bus stop and found yourself greeted by a smiling, suit-clad local real estate agent. Their faces are everywhere—beaming with confidence, posing like property-selling superheroes, and promising to make your dreams come true (or at least help you find a 3-bed, 2-bath with a carport). So I’ve decided to turn it into a fun little  real estate safari . Every time I spot one of these bold billboards, I snap a photo and rate each agent with some quirky categories that you won't find on any real estate awards night... but you will here!
