Bringing Health & Wellness to Your Workplace

Recently, our Managing Director and Physiotherapist, Laurance, joined the 2025 NADO Disability & Aged Care annual staff conference to lead their Health & Wellness Initiative session.

We created a tailored health and wellness video for NADO staff, covering practical tips for staying healthy at work. Exercises were included as one component, and at the conference, Laurance guided attendees through the exercise band routine, bringing the content to life in real time.

It was great seeing the room come alive with movement, laughter, and a shared focus on keeping staff healthy, strong, and supported in their daily work.​

💼​ We can bring this to your team too! Whether it’s part of a conference, AGM, staff development day or wellbeing program, we create sessions that are:
​✅​ Tailored to your staff’s roles and needs
​✅​ Practical, engaging and fun
​✅​ Led by qualified allied health professionals​

Rochford Place Falls Prevention – Week 7
Chronic Conditions & Falls Risk

🩺 Week 7 of our Falls Prevention Program at Rochford Place focused on how chronic conditions can impact falls risk. We explored the effects of diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and hypertension, and how these lifestyle diseases can influence balance, strength, and overall stability.

The session covered the signs and symptoms to look out for, especially those that may increase vulnerability to falls, as well as practical strategies to manage these conditions. By supporting better health outcomes, we can reduce the risk of falls and promote confidence in daily living.

Understanding the connection between chronic conditions and falls empowers us to take proactive steps towards healthier, safer ageing.

Rochford Place Falls Prevention – Week 5
Foot Health & Falls Prevention

👣 Week 5 of our Falls Prevention Program at Rochford Place was all about Foot Health & Falls Prevention — and how podiatry plays a vital role in keeping people mobile and steady on their feet.

We explored how changes in foot structure and sensation can increase fall risk, and the impact that proper foot care and footwear can have in keeping us steady on our feet. The session also covered practical strategies to support foot health and reduce the risk of tripping or slipping.

When we take care of our feet, we support our whole body, from the ground up.

✨ Week 4 of our Falls Prevention Program at Rochford Place focused on Improving Balance & Coordination.

We explored practical ways to enhance stability through targeted exercises and everyday movement strategies. From standing balance drills to coordination-based challenges, residents were given simple tools to help reduce falls and improve confidence in daily movement.

💪 Building strength and coordination doesn’t have to be complicated — small, consistent changes can help maintain independence for longer.

Week 3 Recap: Falls Prevention Classes at Rochford Place 💪

Last week, we focused on Strength and Stability, exploring why these two areas are so important in reducing falls and maintaining independence as we age.

We unpacked the key components of strength and stability, looked at how they work together, and discussed practical ways to build them into daily life.

Our Exercise Physiologist, Stefan, then guided us through a targeted exercise session to help improve balance, control, and confidence.

Another great week of learning and moving together with the lovely residents of Rochford Place.

Falls Prevention Week 2 at Rochford Place – Ropes Crossing 💬

Last week was Week 2 of our 10-week Falls Prevention Program, and we had another great session with the Rochford Place crew!

We focused on how physiotherapy and mobility aids can help reduce the risk of falls. We looked at some interesting facts, talked through the benefits of using mobility aids, and how physios can support people to stay steady and independent. There was a lot of curiosity and great conversation as we went through different types of aids, from walking sticks to four-wheel walkers.

After the chat, we jumped into our weekly exercises, working on strength, balance, and confidence. It’s been so lovely seeing everyone get involved and supporting one another each week.
