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 💙

Are you having difficulty ascending or descending stairs?

In this video Meredith shows a few exercises that will help to build strength and stability for
using stairs. It is important to do these exercises slowly, with control.

➡️ Calf raises and sit to stands or squats are great to help build your general lower body
strength

➡️ Step taps or step ups are helpful if you find lifting your legs up or stepping up tricky

➡️ Step downs are helpful if you find descending stairs to be tricky

➡️ Semi-tandem, tandem or single leg balance will work on your single leg stability

➡️ Stretching your calf muscles will help improve range of motion through your ankles

If you need more guidance on technique or to find out if these exercises are suitable for you,
we recommend booking an appointment with one of our Exercise Physiologists. They can
take you through an initial assessment and create a specific program for you and your needs.

Did you know that exercising immediately prior to chemotherapy infusions can hold some really positive benefits?

Current research shows that engaging in exercise 30 minutes prior to chemo treatment can help with the following:

✔️ Increased blood flow and oxygenation, which supports chemotherapy effectiveness through improved drug delivery

✔️ Reduces side effects, including cancer-related fatigue and anxiety/depressive symptoms

✔️ Improves immune system response further supporting chemotherapy effectiveness

Aim for 10-20 mins of exercise immediately prior to your chemotherapy infusion.

This could be as simple as parking/being dropped off further from the clinic and walking in or stair climbing within the clinic. Or, if accessible and appropriate, this could look like a gym based exercise program.

Remember, all situations are unique, and it is essential to seek clearance from your medical professional before commencing.

We have three amazing exercise physiologists on the team who have a special interest in the cancer rehabilitation space. The benefits of exercise during cancer treatment and post cancer treatment are huge. The key is an individualised program to suit you, and we can help to tailor your program accordingly (especially when experiencing side effects).

A diagnosis of breast cancer can make even the simplest activities feel like a monumental task. Navigating a calendar full of appointments, surgery, and treatment protocols is exhausting, and some days fatigue hits like a wave before you have even left the house.

While the journey can make exercise feel daunting, movement is actually one of the most powerful tools for improving symptoms, building strength, and increasing your energy levels.
..

Why Exercise Matters:

For people navigating breast cancer, low exercise tolerance is common. Over time, this can lead to physical deconditioning, where muscles weaken and fitness declines, which can actually make fatigue worse. Regular exercise helps reverse that cycle.

Clinical research shows that exercise can be a key part of your treatment plan. Maintaining your strength and fitness can help you tolerate treatment more effectively.
...

Regular, supervised movement can:

🩷Increase energy: Exercise stimulates your cells to produce more energy, helping to recharge your battery.

🩷 Preserve bone and heart health: Resistance training protects bone density and cardiovascular function, which is especially important during hormonal therapy.

🩷Improve circulation: Movement encourages lymphatic drainage and blood flow, helping to manage the risk of lymphedema and keeping joints mobile.

🩷Support mental wellbeing: Physical activity releases endorphins that help manage the anxiety and stress that often accompany a diagnosis.

Exercise can be a vital part of your cancer treatment/recovery plan. The evidence is in: staying active helps at every stage of the journey with cancer.

Exercise can help to:

✔️ Improve energy levels
✔️ Protect your strength and your bones
✔️ Support your mood
✔️ Improve joint function and posture
✔️ Reduce some side effects

Every person is different, as is the type of cancer treatment that they receive and the way that we respond to it.

An Accredited Exercise Physiologist can help you come up with a plan and support you as you create the habit or regular exercise.
