Understanding Parkinson’s & the Power of Movement

This week, we’re dedicating our posts to Parkinson’s Disease, a condition that affects movement, balance, and daily living, but with the right therapy, there’s so much we can do!

Our mission:
• Educate about Parkinson’s
• Empower those living with it
• Highlight how physiotherapy restores confidence, balance, and independence

Stay tuned all week for therapy tips, inspiring stories, and myth-busting facts!

Fact or Fiction

“If you’re in pain, you should rest until it goes away.”

Fiction!

Gentle, guided movement is often the key to recovery — not total rest.
Physiotherapists can help you find the right exercises to keep you moving safely and speed up healing.

Movement = Medicine. Always check with a qualified physio before you stop or start any exercise program to make sure it’s right for your body and your recovery goals.

Tip of the Week: The best sitting posture is your next one!

Even the perfect posture can cause stiffness if you hold it too long. Try this every 30 minutes:

• Stand up and stretch
• Roll your shoulders
• Take 10 slow breaths

Little movements = big benefits for your musculoskeletal health.

Extra tip: Set a phone reminder to move more, ache less!

Not sure whether to see your GP or book a physiotherapy appointment?

You’re not alone — many people aren’t sure where to start when pain or stiffness sets in.

Our latest blog explains the difference between what doctors and physiotherapists do, when it’s best to see each, and how the two work together to help you recover faster.

Ever wondered what happens when you visit a physiotherapist for a musculoskeletal assessment?

Here’s what to expect:
• A detailed conversation about your pain, posture, and daily habits
• Movement tests to see how your joints and muscles are functioning
• A tailored plan, not just exercises, but education and hands-on treatment

Our goal? To find the root cause, not just treat the symptoms.

Stay tuned all week for real stories, expert advice, and myth-busting facts to help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free!

“Growing pains mean something is wrong with your child’s bones.”

Fiction!
Growing pains are usually harmless muscle aches that come with rapid growth — but persistent or one-sided pain might signal a growth condition that physiotherapy can help manage.

Fact:
Early support helps kids stay active, happy, and strong through every growth spurt!

Therapy Tips for Kids Going Through Growth Spurts

1. Encourage gentle stretching after sports
2. Keep shoes supportive and well-fitted
3. Rest if pain persists - don’t push through!
4. Hydration and good nutrition support healthy muscles
5. If pain lingers more than a week, check in with your physiotherapist - www.fortifyphysiotherapy.com.au/book-online

A few small habits can make a big difference in keeping kids active.
