Today was my one month work at IHT Rehab and it was also a World Disability Day, I am reminded that a disability does not define a person. Their courage, perseverance, and progress do. Every day, I witness the incredible strength, resilience, and determination of my patients.

I feel honored to be part of their journey, helping them regain independence, movement, and confidence. Seeing patients accomplish things they once thought impossible is the real reward of this work. ❤️

Working as a Physiotherapist here has been such a rewarding journey. Here’s to healing, hope, and celebrating ability in every form. 🌈

I’m delighted to share that I’ve successfully completed the 2-day PainWISE Healthy Spine Program Training on 20-21 November 2025.

This intensive course delivered evidence-based, contemporary approaches to spinal pain management, with a strong emphasis on the biopsychosocial model, patient education, empowerment and healthy movement strategies. The combination of cutting-edge clinical insights, hands-on practice, and collaborative learning with an inspiring group of fellow clinicians made it an outstanding experience.

I’m excited to integrate these principles into my practice and offer the PainWISE Healthy Spine Program to my patients, supporting them with a structured, person-centred pathway toward lasting recovery.

Grateful for the exceptional training and looking forward to applying this knowledge every day! 💪

Moving your body might heal your mind better than medicine.

A new study of 128,119 people has revealed something powerful, exercise outperformed pharmacy treatments when it came to easing depression. Not slightly. Significantly. The results showed that people who moved more, whether walking, running, or dancing, experienced far greater relief than those relying solely on antidepressants.

Here’s why it works. When you move, your brain releases endorphins and serotonin, chemicals that lift your mood and reduce anxiety. Your muscles send signals that tell your brain you’re safe, alive, and in control. Even 15 minutes of movement a day can begin to shift your mental state, like light breaking through heavy clouds.

This doesn’t mean medication doesn’t matter. For many, it’s essential. But this research reminds us that your body isn’t just something to carry your mind around, it’s part of the cure. Movement is medicine. The gym, the park, or even your living room floor can be your healing space.

Next time your thoughts feel heavy, take a walk. Science says your brain will thank you.

As we kick off palliative care week leading to World Hospice and Palliative Care Day (WHPCD) on 11 October, here are some reflections from the WHPCA Executive Director Dr Stephen Connor.
Achieving the Promise – Universal Access to Palliative Care: World Hospice and Palliative Care Day 2025.

World Hospice and Palliative Care Day (WHPCD) was established in 2005 and has since become one of palliative care’s most significant global days. Each year, a different theme is chosen to emphasise an aspect of palliative care that people may not know about or that is relevant to current events. Dr Stephen R Connor, PhD, Executive Director Worldwide Hospice Palliative Care Alliance (WHPCA), wrote an article to tell us more about WHPCD 2025 and its call to action.

🌍 World Physiotherapy Day 2025 🌍

This year’s theme, Healthy Ageing, resonates deeply with my journey. Over the past 15 years as a physiotherapist, I’ve seen how movement shapes more than just physical health, it preserves independence, restores confidence, and sustains dignity across all stages of life.

Physiotherapy is not only about recovery, but also about enabling people to age well, to keep doing the things they love, and to live with purpose.

As I reflect on this milestone, I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow with my patients, colleagues, and this profession that continues to inspire me every day.

Here’s to advancing healthier, stronger futures together. 💙
