As you are aware, the ACT is in a lockdown for the next 3 weeks due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

During this time, any gym appointments at our Macgregor site will not go ahead, in line with the closure of gyms.
Physiotherapy appointments however remain open at Marketplace Medical Centre in Gungahlin Town Centre.

Appointments will remain available and will go ahead as usual with a few restrictions;

❗️ Please wear a mask at all times, including through your appointment and treatment.
❗️ Please do not attend your appointment if you have COVID like symptoms
❗️ Please do not attend your appointment if you have been at an identified COVID exposure site
❗️ If you can, please avoid bringing anyone else to your appointment, to minimise the number of people in the practice.

I understand that you may have significant anxieties about attending your appointment.
📲 In order to address this, I am happy for you to wait outside for your appointment and message 0413 367 847 to let me know you have arrived.

I am also in the process of standing up Telehealth capabilities that will be available on Monday and Thursday throughout lockdown.
I will have no Telehealth available on Tuesday and Wednesday as these will be days where I am present in the clinic for face to face appointments.

While we are in lockdown, the cancellation fee for late cancellations will be waived for anyone who has COVID symptoms or who has been to an exposure site and is a close or casual contact.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me at admin@fortiusphysio.com.au or give me a call on 0413 367 847.All the best for our current situation, and stay safe! We will get through this together.

It’s day 3 of the push up challenge, with today’s target being 142 push ups. That means that by bedtime tonight Matt and Brandon will both have completed 377 Push Ups in just 3 days.

“I think that may be more push-ups than I’ve ever done in my life” - Brandon complaining to Matt...

The target each day relates back to mental health fact, and today it is based on deep breathing patterns!

Deep breathing has long been a part of practices such as yoga, Tai Chi, martial arts, and meditation. It has been studied in scientific trials for its positive benefits on our heart rates, blood pressures, and stress levels.

One deep breathing exercise you can try is known as 1-4-2 breathing. This involves keeping the ratios of time spent inhaling, holding, and exhaling, at 1:4:2. For example, you might inhale for 2 seconds, hold for 8 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, then rest.

Beginners in mindful breathing might try the box breathing 4:4:4 method or if your GP has recommended a particular breathing method you should always go with that. One 2017 paper demonstrated that deep breathing from the diaphragm can reduce our negative emotions, improve our concentration, and decrease the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in our bodies.

So take a breath, and follow, or cut and paste the link to our donations page and help support Headspace ACT. Or even better, join our team and get pushing! (The secret password is Stronger). You know you want to...
