Up & Active Exercise Physiology

16/03/2026

When we feel stressed or overwhelmed, our breathing often becomes shallow and rapid. Taking a few minutes to slow your breathing can help calm your nervous system, reduce tension, and improve focus.

Try this simple technique:

✨ Box Breathing
1️⃣ Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 seconds
2️⃣ Hold your breath for 4 seconds
3️⃣ Exhale slowly through your mouth for 4 seconds
4️⃣ Hold for 4 seconds
🔁 Repeat for 4–6 cycles

✔ Helps reduce stress and anxiety
✔ Supports relaxation and focus
✔ Can be done anywhere, at work, at home, or before exercise

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience and achievements of women everywhere. 💜

At Up and Active, we are incredibly lucky to have such a strong, supportive team. We feel privileged to support and be supported by women every day, whether that’s through physiotherapy, exercise physiology, cancer rehabilitation, pelvic health, or our wonderful administration team who keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Today is about recognising the women in our community, our team, and the women we have the honour of supporting on their health and exercise journeys 🤍

Exercise isn’t one size fits all. ‼️
That’s where an Exercise Physiologist comes in 👋
EP’s are university qualified and have the knowledge and experience to use exercise to help manage a range of conditions such as osteoporosis, women’s health, chronic conditions (like cardiovascular disease and diabetes), injuries, post-surgical rehab and sports performance.

Individualised, evidence-based exercise, designed for you and centred around your goals. If you want to start now, we’d love to help.

2025 was a big year for us at Up and Active EP! 🎉 We opened a brand-new clinic, welcomed two amazing new EPs to our team, hosted a community open day, got involved in local events, celebrated Exercise Right Week, and added even more group classes to keep everyone moving. Thank you to our incredible community for making it such a memorable year 💪✨

If you didn’t already know, our EP’s love fun and absolutely love Christmas 🎄

So naturally, they decided the best way to finish the year was our version of the 12 Days of Christmas… so you’re welcome 😅

Thank you for an incredible year, and we wish everyone a Merry and safe Christmas ❤️

The EPs are now officially ready for a break from the camera 😉📸

Today we hosted our annual Sneaky Stealer Secret Santa . The team had a blast. The hot items this year was a flowering pot plant, inflatable ottoman and a giant Vegemite Mug! It was great to catch up as a team.

We hope your workplaces all have amazing christmas fun too!

He’s also worked with clients managing neurological and cardiovascular conditions, making him a bit of an all-rounder when it comes to exercise rehab.

💭 “What I love most is being able to support people to achieve their goals, and being there to guide them through the process.”

A snippet of today’s learning 🎥
Our EP’s dived into how we assess clients through every stage of their rehab using our AXIT technology ⌛️📈 Using our AXIT system, we can measure strength, balance, and power in real time, giving us the data to design individualised, evidence-based programs that evolve with every stage of rehabilitation 💪
