Shame, Body Image, and Body Dysmorphia: Understanding the Deeper Wound
Body image concerns are among the most common yet least openly discussed sources of psychological distress. For many people, discomfort with their appearance is accompanied by deep feelings of shame, self-criticism, and disconnection. In a culture that places high value on appearance, the body can become a focal point for judgment rather than care. For those struggling, body dysmorphia counselling Bassendean residents can access offers a path toward compassion and healing.

Understanding Mother Loss: Grief, Identity, and the Impact of Absence
The loss of a mother can be one of the most profound and life-shaping experiences a person encounters. This is because the bond we share with our mothers from the womb lays the template for our first experience of love and connection. When that connection is severed, whether due to complications at birth, illness or death of the mother, or compromised maternal mental health, we can experience a strong disconnection from ourselves and our place in the world. Seeking mother loss counselling Bassendean families can access is an important step toward healing.

Bunion Stages & Hallux Valgus: Causes and Treatment

Why Rest Alone Won’t Fix Your Plantar Heel Pain (And What Actually Works)
If you’ve been dealing with a sharp, stabbing pain in the bottom of your heel every time you take those first steps out of bed in the morning, you’re not alone. Plantar heel pain is one of the most common foot complaints we see at The Wellness Place in Bassendean — and, frustratingly, one of the most misunderstood. The old advice of “just rest it” or “stay off your feet” might feel sensible, but the evidence tells a very different story. In fact, modern research shows that the right kind of loading — not rest — is often the key to recovery. Here’s what you need to know.
Why Does the Ball of My Foot Hurt? A Guide to Forefoot Pain Causes and Treatment
Forefoot pain — that sharp, burning, or aching sensation in the ball of your foot — is more common than most people realise. It can turn a simple walk to the shops into a miserable experience and stop you from doing the activities you love. Fortunately, most causes of forefoot pain are highly treatable once you get the right diagnosis.
If you’re limping through your day in Bassendean or the surrounding Perth suburbs with pain under the front of your foot, you’re not alone. Forefoot pain affects roughly 10% of the general population at any given time, with prevalence rising significantly in older adults and those who spend long hours on their feet (Bowen et al., 2024; Dunn et al., 2004). The good news? Our podiatry team at The Wellness Place — led by experienced sports podiatrist Dr Aaron Gregory — can help you identify exactly what is going on and get you back to moving pain-free.
Remedial Massage: Real Relief, Not Just a Rubdown
You know that feeling when your shoulders have been living somewhere near your ears for the past three weeks, and “just relaxing” isn’t going to cut it? That’s where remedial massage steps in — and it’s a world apart from the softly-lit, whale-song spa treatment you might be picturing. At The Wellness Place in Bassendean, remedial massage is hands-on, evidence-backed therapy designed to sort out the aches, niggles, and stubborn tension that ordinary relaxation massage leaves untouched.
Remedial massage is a targeted, therapeutic approach that treats musculoskeletal problems at their source. Unlike a relaxation massage, which aims for general calm and stress relief, remedial massage zeroes in on specific issues — chronic pain, injury recovery, postural imbalances, and recurring headaches — using deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and muscle stretching to restore proper function. Whether you’ve been dealing with a stubborn lower back, a sports injury that won’t quit, or tension headaches that arrive like clockwork every Friday afternoon, remedial massage Bassendean locals trust can make a genuine, measurable difference.
