Happy International Men’s Day! 💪

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and wellbeing of men everywhere — and we’re reminding all the men in our community that looking after your health is one of the strongest things you can do.

Men are often great at supporting others, but not always as good at checking in on themselves. Whether it’s managing stress, getting back into exercise, or addressing that lingering pain — today’s the perfect reminder to take action on your physical and mental health.

Our team of Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists are here to help you move better, feel stronger, and perform at your best — in sport, work, and everyday life.

👉 Book a session this week and take a positive step towards your health.

Let’s keep the conversation going and support each other — because good health isn’t just physical, it’s everything.

Today is World COPD Day.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading global cause of death and disability. COPD is a common lung disease that may affect swallowing ability.

These include:
- Muscle weakness and fatigue associated difficulty exhaling all the air out of their lungs
- Prolonged eating and swallow transit time.
- Respiratory-swallow discoordination
- Residue in the pharynx post swallow
- Decreased sensation in the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx

People with COPD who have dysphagia generally fail to recognize that they may have a swallowing impairment. Instead, they tend to think that coughing or shortness of breath during oral intake is a symptom of COPD.

A Speech Pathologist can offer strategies and recommendations for people with COPD.

Welcome to Women's health Week 2025!

This year's theme is "Say yes to you" and our pelvic health physio's think that is very fitting, because for a lot of our patients, coming to a Women's Health appointment is a step towards putting themselves first for once. Many pelvic conditions aren't emergencies; often women think it's just part of having babies, or have been living with issues for years... but that doesn't mean you have to keep putting up with it

So, why not say yes to you, and book a Women's Health Physio session today!

If you haven't already, we highly recommend checking out the Jean Hailes website for all the fabulous content this womens health week.

How can a dietitian help after Stroke?
- Assess nutritional needs and address symptoms (such as reduce appetite, poor food intake) or physical limitation as a result of stroke (compromised fine motor skills). This is to ensure the person is meeting their nutritional for optimal recovery and prevention of furthering chronic conditions (e.g. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.)

- Collaborating with Speech Pathologist to tailor dietary strategies to support individuals with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) by recommending appropriate food and fluid consistencies in collaboration with speech pathologists.

- Offer education on heart-healthy eating, focusing on reducing salt, sugar, and saturated fat intake to manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and reduce the risk of another stroke.

- Monitor nutritional status over time, especially if there is ongoing weight loss, malnutrition risk, or challenges with food access or intake.

National Stroke Week encourages the community to know the F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech and Time) signs of stroke so that they can save a life in the event of a loved one experiencing a stroke.
Stroke Foundation recommends the F.A.S.T. test as an easy way to remember the most common signs of stroke. Using the F.A.S.T. test involves asking these simple questions:
Face Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
Arms Can they lift both arms?
Speech Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
Time Is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.
A stroke is always a medical emergency. Keep looking at your mum, dad, love and mates, it could save their life.
