Falls are one of the biggest health risks facing older Australians- but the good news is, many falls are preventable.

Recent Australian research shows that regular, targeted exercise can reduce falls by up to 55% in aged care and 42% for older adults living independently. The key factors?
✔️ Strength
✔️ Balance
✔️ Confidence with movement

That’s exactly what our Active Stronger Better (ASB) classes focus on at Great Lakes Physiotherapy.

ASB is a guided program designed to help older adults:
• Improve balance and stability
• Build strength safely
• Move with more confidence day to day
• Maintain independence for longer

Falls don’t usually come out of nowhere- they often happen when strength and balance gradually decline. Active Stronger Better targets these changes early, helping reduce risk before a fall occurs.

If you, or someone you care for, want to stay steady, strong and moving well, ASB is a great place to start.

👋 Welcome to the team, Lucy!

We’re excited to welcome Lucy, our newest Physiotherapist to the teams at The Physio Clinic and Great Lakes Physio. Lucy grew up locally and completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Charles Sturt University in Port Macquarie. She has a strong interest in functional rehabilitation, musculoskeletal injuries, and helping people get back to the activities they love.

Outside the clinic, Lucy enjoys horse riding, bodyboarding, helping out on her family’s hobby farm – and even riding a unicycle, which she learnt while studying movement and skill development as a reminder of persistence and stepping outside her comfort zone. We’re so pleased to have her join the team and can’t wait for you to meet her.

Welcome, Lucy!

At our clinics, we’re committed to making physiotherapy accessible, supportive and genuinely inclusive. Whether it’s adapting programs, adjusting communication, or creating a space where everyone feels comfortable, our team focuses on meeting each person where they’re at.

A reminder that every body moves differently, and every person deserves care that respects their goals, challenges and wins.

If you or someone you care about needs help getting moving, rebuilding confidence or managing daily aches and pains, our experienced physios are here for it.

Physio- It’s not all exercises and stretches.

Sometimes it’s about helping someone feel like themselves again- confident, capable, and able to do the things they love without pain holding them back.

Whether that’s walking on the beach, gardening, swimming, or keeping up with the grandkids, our goal is always the same- to get you moving comfortably and confidently again.

Ready to get back to doing what YOU love? Book your appointment today 👇🏼

Spring’s in full swing - and so are those outdoor plans! ☀️

If you’ve jumped back into walking, running, gardening or weekend sport after a quieter winter, don’t forget to give your body time to adjust.

✅ Start small and build gradually
✅ Warm up before and stretch after activity
✅ Listen to any niggles that hang around longer than a few days

A little maintenance now can save you from bigger setbacks later.
If something’s feeling tight, sore, or just not quite right, our physios can help you get back on track safely.
