Sarcopenia- Let’s Talk About It 💪

I attended a conference on sarcopenia this weekend, and it was a big reminder of how important muscle strength is as we age. I’ll be keeping an eye out for early signs in the clinic to help support you better.

What is Sarcopenia?
It’s the age-related loss of muscle strength and muscle mass. It can make daily tasks harder, like getting out of a chair, carrying groceries, or climbing stairs.

How do you know if you may have it?
✅ Weak grip strength
✅ Slower walking speed
✅ Loss of muscle mass

What helps treat or prevent it?
🏋️ Strength training 2-3 times a week
🥩 Protein with each meal (eggs, fish, beans, lean meats)
🚶‍♂️ Move daily and avoid long periods of sitting
☀️ Vitamin D if needed

The good news? Sarcopenia isn’t “just ageing”. With the right exercise and nutrition, you can stay strong, active, independent at any age! 💚

💻 Spend hours on a computer for work or study?

The prevalence of neck pain is higher among office workers than in the general community, with studies suggesting 70% of desk workers report neck pain.

If you're a desk worker, you could be at risk of developing Tech Neck - a growing spinal health concern caused by poor posture and prolonged screen time.

Common symptoms include:
⚠️ Headaches
⚠️ Neck, shoulder, and upper back pain
⚠️ Postural changes and spinal curvature (especially in older adults)

Adjust your thinking: Prevention is the best protection:
✅ Maintain an upright, relaxed posture
✅ Take regular movement and stretching breaks
✅ Set your screen at eye level
✅ Use an ergonomic chair (knees slightly lower than hips)
✅ Consider a sit-stand desk to reduce spinal strain

This WorkSpace Week, adjust your thinking to work well every day! Explore free resources, hints and tips at www.workspaceweek.org.au or book an adjustment at www.wellnessone.com.au, because prevention is the best protection!

🧘‍♀️ Feeling stressed, overwhelmed or just need a reset?

Try Box Breathing:
👉 Inhale for 4 seconds
👉 Hold for 4 seconds
👉 Exhale for 4 seconds
👉 Hold for 4 seconds

Repeat for a few rounds and feel your nervous system calm down. It’s simple, powerful, and you can do it anywhere, at your desk, in traffic, or before sleep.

Think of it as a little mental reboot 🔁
Your breath is your built-in remote control for your body and mind.
