🌸 When Women Gather, We Rise Together — International Women’s Day at NBRMNT! 🌸

This March — in honour of International Women’s Month — we’re creating heart-led experiences designed to connect, empower, educate and nourish women at every stage of life. From pregnancy and pelvic health to mindful movement and deep inner rest, each event has been carefully curated to bring women together in a safe, supportive, and uplifting space.

This isn’t just another series of classes — it’s a community-centred celebration with purpose. Every event this month has been intentionally priced to be accessible and meaningful, and all profits will be donated to Share the Dignity — supporting women and girls across Australia experiencing hardship.

✨ Here’s what’s happening this March:
🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness | Movment | Meditation — Fri 6th March, 5:30pm
A gentle, grounding session to help you slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with your body and nervous system — perfect for busy women who give so much of themselves.

💬 Women’s Circle | Pelvic Floor Health — Fri 13th March, 5:30pm
An empowering and educational circle with Briony O’Connor, creating a safe place to discuss pelvic floor awareness, strength and support — with evidence-based insights and no judgment.

🤰 Pregnancy & Partner Yoga — Fri 20th March, 5:30pm
A nurturing, practical class for expecting mums and their partners, blending gentle movement, breathwork and connection practices to help feel confident and supported during pregnancy.
💪 Women’s Wellness Workshop — Tue 24th March, 5:30pm
Led by Accredited Exercise Physiologist Tamika Hassum, this practical workshop explores lifestyle strategies, movement, and daily habits to help you feel strong, balanced and confident at every stage of life.

🌀 Sound of Being Journey™ — Sun 29th March, 4:00pm
A deeply nourishing 90-minute experience held in a women-only container — designed to quiet the mind, soothe the nervous system and bring you home to your body.
At North Brisbane Remedial Massage & Natural Therapies, women’s health isn’t just a tagline — it’s our foundation. This month is about holding space for healing — body, mind and spirit for every woman who gives so much to others.

✨ Spaces are intentionally limited to keep each event intimate and supportive.

📞 To reserve your place, please call 0481 590 841, and we’ll secure your spot and confirm your booking.

Let this March be the month you prioritise yourself — while uplifting other women at the same time.

Together we rise. Together we stand. 💛

🎗 Life after treatment still needs support.

Many survivors experience:
▪️Ongoing fatigue
▪️Reduced strength and aerobic capacity
▪️Increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk

Exercise supports:
🌟 Return to work and daily activities
🌟 Long-term health and recurrence risk reduction
🌟 Confidence rebuilding after treatment

Survivorship programs shift focus from “getting through” to long-term health optimisation.

🌱 Cancer care doesn’t end when treatment does.

🦴 Can you exercise with bone metastases?

Yes — with appropriate screening and modification.

Exercise aims to:
💪 Maintain muscle strength
💪 Reduce fracture risk
💪 Support function and independence

Program adjustments may include:
✔ Load management
✔ Avoidance of high-risk movements
✔ Emphasis on controlled, stable exercises

Exercise selection is based on lesion location, pain, imaging findings and medical clearance. ⚠️ This is where specialist exercise prescription really matters.

💪 Client of the Month 💪
A huge congratulations to Heidi, our February Client of the Month. Her dedication and consistency in our group classes have truly paid off, reflected in the fantastic results from her recent re-assessment with one of our EPs.
Here’s what she had to say:
"When I’m having a good week, you’ll usually find me doing two to three Onero classes, a Core Control session, and—if I feel like it—another class just for balance and fun. I quickly realised I needed to build more strength and be a little more diligent with my balance exercises, which is exactly why Onero became such a big part of my routine.
My advice? Never give up. If you’re having a bad day, take a day off, reset, and come back refreshed—you’ll feel so much better for it. And for fellow travellers, I highly recommend asking the team for a holiday program that easily fits into your time away.
Thank you for honouring me as Client of the Month. The results from my last assessment were incredible and proof that consistency really does pay off.”

💪 Does lifting weights cause lymphoedema?

Research shows progressive resistance training does NOT increase lymphoedema risk. In many cases, it reduces symptoms and improves limb function.

Key principles:
🌟 Gradual progression
🌟 Symptom monitoring
🌟 Individualised load selection

Exercise Physiology programs consider surgical history, radiation exposure and current swelling status. Chat to us today to learn more.

🔍 Fear shouldn’t stop you from moving safely.

😴 Cancer fatigue isn’t just “being tired” — and rest alone doesn’t fix it.

Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common and persistent side effects of treatment. Evidence shows moderate-intensity aerobic + resistance training is the most effective intervention.

Benefits include:
✔ Improved energy levels
✔ Better sleep quality
✔ Increased ability to complete daily tasks

Exercise is prescribed based on treatment stage, current health status, and symptom burden — not a generic program.

📚 Fatigue should be treated, not tolerated.

How Does Exercise Protect Your Heart? 💗

The heart is one of the hardest-working muscles in the body, and like any muscle, it thrives on regular, well-designed movement. Tailored exercise programs play a vital role in supporting heart health by improving cardiovascular function, managing risk factors and promoting long-term wellbeing. Movement is a powerful, evidence-based tool for protecting the heart at every stage of life.

🎉Client of the Month🎉

Congratulations to Narelle for being our January Client of the Month. Narelle consistency in Onero group classes has really shown through over the past 6 months.

Here is what she had to say:
"Since I have started classes at True North I have been enjoying building my Strength and Balance. This has made a huge difference to my day to day routines.

I have been surprised by the difference the classes have made to my physicality on a daily basis but the unexpected benefit has been the huge improvement in my mental health and wellbeing. The satisfaction of achieving goals I set myself is amazing.

The classes I attend at TNW help me to maintain my health and fitness (both physical and mental) as I get older, which allows me to maintain my independence which is extremely important to me."
