April is Falls Awareness Month- a great reminder that falls can happen to anyone, but they’re not just “bad luck”. Strength, balance and confidence all play a big role, and the good news is these can be improved.

At Great Lakes Physio, we regularly help people reduce their risk of falls and stay active for longer.

Some simple ways to lower your risk:
• Keep moving – regular strength and balance exercises make a huge difference
• Clear hazards at home – think loose rugs, clutter and poor lighting
• Wear supportive footwear – avoid slippery soles or backless shoes
• Get your vision checked regularly
• Don’t ignore dizziness, weakness or changes in your balance

How we can help:
• Individualised strength and balance programs
• Falls risk assessments
• Treatment for pain or injuries affecting mobility
• Guidance to build confidence with walking and daily activities

If you or a loved one have noticed changes in balance, or just want to stay proactive, our experienced physios are here to help.

Send us a message or book in for an assessment – small steps now can make a big difference 👇🏼

On World Health Day, we’re reminding our community that physiotherapy and massage are about more than injury recovery- they’re about long-term wellbeing 💙

Regular physio can improve strength, balance, and mobility, helping you stay active and independent. Massage complements this by reducing muscle tension, promoting circulation, and aiding recovery.

We also offer programs like Pilates, GLAD™ and Active, Stronger, Better (ASB) classes, designed to improve walking, stability, and overall strength- helping prevent falls and keeping you moving confidently every day.

Prioritising movement and self-care isn’t just for now- it’s an investment in your health for the future!

NEW MOVEMENT GUIDELINES 🏃‍♀️ 💃 🧘🏼‍♀️

The Australian Government has released updated 24-hour movement guidelines for adults, outlining how much we should move, sit, and sleep for better health.

The shift? It’s no longer just about exercise – it’s about your whole day.

✔️ Move more across the day (not just workouts)
✔️ Include strength training each week
✔️ Break up long periods of sitting
✔️ Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep

It’s about balance across your 24 hours, not doing everything perfectly.

At Great Lakes Physio, we offer classes to help improve balance, keep you active and strong for as long as possible, and support you to move well despite health challenges – all with a caring, experienced team.

We help you build practical, sustainable habits that actually fit your lifestyle- enquire about our classes or book your next appointment today 👇🏼

Living with pain can make everyday tasks feel harder than they should, but there are small steps you can take each day to make a real difference.

Some tips to help manage pain and stay active:
• Move regularly – even short walks around the house or gentle stretching a few times a day can keep joints mobile and muscles active.
• Break up long periods of sitting – standing up and moving every 30–60 minutes helps reduce stiffness.
• Gentle strengthening – exercises for legs, hips, and back can improve stability, balance, and independence.
• Use support wisely – walking sticks, rails, or chairs can make movement safer and more comfortable.
• Listen to your body – there’s a difference between discomfort from exercise and pain that signals you need to stop or modify a movement.

Every body is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. That’s why a tailored approach from a physio can make a big difference. With the right guidance, you can manage pain, improve mobility, and keep enjoying the activities you love.

Our Physiotherapists Aaron, Lucy and Charlotte recently spent the day building on their Pilates training with Pilates Education Australia.

It was a great course and they’ve come away with some new ideas, variations and techniques that we’re looking forward to bringing into our sessions here at Great Lakes Physio.

Ongoing learning is a big part of what we do – it helps us keep things fresh and make sure you’re getting the most out of your rehab and training.

🧠 It’s Brain Awareness Week!

Did you know? Over 700,000 Australians will be affected by a brain injury, and 1 in 45 people are currently living with one.

This week is about raising awareness of brain health, and the real impact neurological conditions can have on everyday life.

At Great Lakes Physio, our experienced team works with people managing conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, balance disorders and more.

Our goal is simple – to help you improve, maintain and get the most out of your physical function, whether that’s getting back to daily tasks or returning to the things you enjoy.

If you or someone you know could benefit from support, we’re here to help.

Sore after exercise? That can be completely normal.

Muscle soreness after training is common, especially when you start something new, increase intensity, or return after a break.

But sometimes pain can be a sign of injury rather than normal muscle adaptation.

Hold to read each slide if you need more time.

If you’re unsure whether what you’re feeling is normal soreness or something more, a physiotherapy assessment can help determine what’s going on and the best way to manage it 👇🏼
