Some of you might know that I have reintroduced running into my life, and I am training for a marathon later in the year!

Whilst it is tempting to just run, run, run, without strength training, we are more likely to get injured! Strength training is important for runners!

I have a long history of knee injuries, so keeping up with my strength exercises is very important, not only for my running goals, but for my everyday life!

Here are some of my favourite strength exercises to help support my joints as I gradually increase my running distances!

Katie is running a half-marathon!

Yep, that's right! This weekend our amazing exercise physiologist, Katie, sets off to run 21.1km, and she is doing this to raise money money for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

We are so proud of Katie, 21.1km is such a huge distance to run, and all for such an important cause.

If you would like to donate, I will share this link both here and in our instagram stories.

If you are having trouble finding the link, please do not hesitate to send me through a private message or drop-in at reception next time you are in the clinic!

Well done, Katie! 🌟

It’s never too late to start strengthening your bones 💪🦴

A diagnosis like osteoporosis can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t mean the story is over—it means it’s time to take action. Bone is living tissue, and it can respond to the right kind of care at any age.

Small, consistent steps make a real difference:
✨ Strength and resistance exercises
✨ Weight-bearing and impact exercise
✨ Nourishing your body with the right nutrients
✨ Building habits that support balance and stability

You don’t have to do everything at once—you just have to begin.

Progress is possible. Strength is possible. Starting today matters more than starting perfectly. And it is never too late to make a positive change.

If you are looking for some guidance as to how to lift weights and exercise for your bones in a safe and effective way, we recommend that you seek advice from an Accredited Exercise Physiologist 😀

Today, we walk for a world without type 1 diabetes 💙

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong autoimmune condition that can develop at any age. There is nothing anyone can do to prevent it, and currently, there is no cure.

This cause is especially close to my heart. My three-year-old niece was recently diagnosed, and it has completely changed life for her and her family. My sister and brother-in-law have had to quickly learn how to carb count, monitor blood sugar levels, and administer insulin every day to keep her healthy.

Despite it all, they show incredible strength and resilience as they adapt to this new normal for their beautiful girl. And they are not alone—so many families are navigating life with type 1 diabetes every single day.

Today, we walk to raise awareness and vital funds for research. We hold onto hope for a future where type 1 diabetes no longer exists.

If you’d like to support this cause, please follow the donation link or send me a message and I’ll point you in the right direction. Every bit helps 💙
