This morning at Frankies Cafe & Catering in Port Macquarie, we took a moment to reflect on a recent success.

Our balance testing event at Monterey Camden Haven last week marked an important milestone, the first time anyone has paid for balance testing on the Balance Mat. It’s a true proof of concept that the Balance Mat can operate as a revenue-generating tool while delivering meaningful health insights for residents.

The session formed part of the Better Balance Initiative, delivered with accredited exercise physiologist Candice Eberhardt and data intern analyst Bipin Shrestha.

A great step forward for proactive care, and an exciting sign of what’s possible. 😊

Today our Balance Metrix team visited Monterey Camden Haven, an over-55s village, to complete balance testing with five residents.
Our data analyst intern Bipin Shrestha carried out the balance testing, before handing over to Accredited Exercise Physiologist Candice Eberhardt, who walked each resident through their results and recommended personalised exercises to improve strength, balance, mobility, and confidence.

How many rockstars can you count in this photograph? Pictured with Balance Mat inventor Ian Bergman are neuroscientists Professor Vaughan Macefield (having his balance tested and showing off his David Bowie painting - how's that for multi-tasking!) and Branko Borojevic who will be using our Neurometric Balance Mat in their research. They're responsible for the new subscription that Raelee Pietrzak from The VA Rae and our business manager Margaret Metz were celebrating at Port Macquarie yesterday. 👏👏👏

Lavenia Russell, Wendy Newport, Brigitta Labann and David Wells had their balance tested today. 🦩 It was during a collaborative pop-up balance metrics - exercise physiology awareness session at Panthers Port Macquarie mounted by Hastings Physio and Health's Lesley Flanagan and Balance Metrix's Ian Bergman (who took the photos).

Organised by Hastings Physio and Health exercise physiology manager Erin Freeman, it followed a similar event that Erin and Ian collaborated on to celebrate World Clinical Exercise Physiology Day back on 23 September.

That was when we first found out about the balance testing and training sessions Erin has set up for community members here in Port Macquarie. We're happy to help the team promote them. 😁

Balance Metrix was a proud Event Partner with Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) last week at NSW Parliament House. We and our two AEP partners in the Better Balance Initiative - Jo MacAllan from MacAllan Health and Dylan Slater from Think and Move - were honoured to be involved.

We knew that Erin Freeman from Hastings Physio and Health had bought a Balance Mat, but it wasn't until yesterday that we found out how she's been using it.

The occasion was a World Clinical Exercise Physiology Day event here in Port Macquarie. We happened to go onto their website and found out about their “Take A Stand For Falls Prevention” program (see
https://physioandhealth.com.au/falls-prevention-program.html).

This is a comprehensive 8-week balance and falls prevention program designed to improve stability, build strength and empower older Australians to live confidently and independently.

Led by the Hastings Physio and Health team of Accredited Exercise Physiologists, the program "combines professional expertise with evidence based strategies to deliver exceptional outcomes for participants."

It includes the use of the Balance Mat technology from Balance Metrix as part of the diagnostic process, "ensuring a scientific, accurate assessment of participants’ progress from start to finish."

Wonderful news! It's exactly the sort of innovative program we would like to see more of. Well done, Erin and the Hastings Physio and Health team of AEPs!
