We’re so proud of Alanah, one of our former Exercise Physiologists, who recently presented her PhD research at the UC Prostate Cancer Research Symposium.

Her work is helping to advance understanding of how exercise and cognitive training can support men undergoing hormone treatment for prostate cancer.

It’s inspiring to see Alanah contributing to important research in exercise, cognition, and cancer care 👏

Our EP James spoke on the panel, and the event brought together health professionals, researchers, and people living with Parkinson’s to share knowledge, experiences, and hope for the future.

Jimmy has a special interest in working with Parkinson’s clients, offering 1:1 sessions and small group classes designed to help you move with confidence, strength, and safety. For more information or to reach out to Jimmy, please get in touch on 6253 2388 or at info@clinic88.com.au

We’re so proud of our Exercise Physiologist James Dimarhos, who recently represented Clinic 88 on the expert panel at the Parkinson’s ACT Annual Conference.

With around 300 people in attendance, the event brought together health professionals, researchers, and community members passionate about improving the lives of people living with Parkinson’s disease.

James joined the Q&A Panel alongside Kathryn Skillman (The Hospital Research Foundation Group – Registered Nurse) and Professor Simon Lewis (esteemed Neurologist and Researcher specialising in Parkinson’s Disease and Dementia with Lewy Bodies). His insights and experience helped shine a light on the vital role of exercise in Parkinson’s management.

During the discussion, James spoke about:
→ The role of an EP in supporting Parkinson’s management
→ The benefits of exercise for Parkinson’s disease
→ The types of exercises most effective for symptom management
→ How to modify exercise safely when dyskinesia symptoms are present or heightened

It was a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge, connect with the Parkinson’s community, and highlight how movement and tailored exercise can support function, confidence, and quality of life.

Ever wondered why it's called Myofascial Dry Needling or Myofascial Cupping?

Myo = muscle

Fascia = the connective tissue surrounding and weaving through those muscles

Think of fascia as your body’s secret fabric, wrapping, connecting, and communicating through every cell, from head to toe. When we use techniques like dry needling or cupping, we’re not just working on the muscle itself. We’re also influencing the fascia around it.

Clinic 88 Event: The Rise of the Super shoe with Jimmy Barker 👟

Super shoes are revolutionising running performance by combining lightweight foam with carbon plates to improve running economy, reduce energy loss, and deliver a spring-like propulsion with every stride. Athletes benefit from faster times, delayed fatigue, and improved recovery, making them a game-changer from the track to the marathon.

However, their unique mechanics shift load distribution, which may increase risk of calf, Achilles, and bone stress injuries if not introduced gradually.

➡️ Do you want to know more?
Spend an evening with Jimmy Barker, Principal Soft Tissue Therapist and a lifelong runner himself, as he takes you through the finer details with a range of super shoes on loan from The Runners Shop to compare various designs.

Jimmy will cover:
* The start of the super shoe wars
* The performance benefits
* The individual variance – who benefits, who doesn’t?
* How close is two hrs – what is hypothesised to be the limit?
* What’s legal and what’s not

Event Details:
When: Tuesday, November 25th
Time: 6:00–7:00pm
Where: Clinic 88 Macquarie Clinic
Cost: $40, payable before the session
