📈 Healing Isn’t Linear

Pain can vary day to day. Flare-ups don’t mean failure—they’re part of the process. What matters is consistency, patience, and support.

🧘‍♂️ As Exercise Physiologists, we help people navigate these ups and downs with tailored strategies that promote resilience and long-term progress.

🧠 Your Nervous System Remembers

Chronic pain often involves a sensitized nervous system. It’s like your body’s alarm system is stuck on high alert—even when there’s no danger.

🎯 The goal isn’t to “fix” the pain overnight, but to calm the system through education, movement, and lifestyle strategies.

Let’s work together to retrain your body and brain.

Do you experience...
✔️Intermittent back pain and want to learn strategies to prevent it from becoming chronic?
✔️Chronic back pain and have exhausted lots of treatment options with no relief?

There are currently few opportunities to undertake a multidisciplinary Pain Management Program in the community, so don't miss out on this unique opportunity with Tamika and Zac commencing soon!

Join us at 2pm on Mondays for six weeks, commencing 25th August at True North Wellness for a group based program combining pain education and practical exercise to empower you with an individualised plan on taking charge of your pain. All pain is valid, so the program is suitable for mild intermittent to very severe and constant back pain, and for people of all fitness levels and walks of life.

Not sure what it's about or if it's right for you? Just contact us 3325 3678 or tamika@truenorthwellness.com.au

Shared from one of the previous participants of this program:

"I joined the 6 week pain management program wanting to improve my strength and conditioning and learn more about pain. Tamika and Zac were both particularly passionate program facilitators and they delivered education that was engaging, interesting and relevant. I quickly found myself looking forward to the weekly session. The exercises were achievable (with opportunities to individualise if someone was struggling), and the group was a safe place for discussions. I left the course feeling so much more empowered and would highly recommend the program to anyone with chronic pain."

National Pain Week 2025 is Australia’s annual week of action, bringing greater awareness to the experience of living with chronic pain. By doing so, Chronic Pain Australia hopes to reduce the social and other barriers related to living and managing chronic pain.

This year’s theme, ‘Pain colours your world, and your pain colours our world’, aims to bring greater awareness to the vicious cycle of pain experienced by people living with chronic pain.

This is a cycle of symptoms which can trap people in a spiral of stigma, isolation, and mental health challenges, colouring everything about their lives. We hope that by bringing attention to the cycle of pain, the general public will gain a greater understanding and insight into the experience of living or caring for loved ones with chronic pain.

🏃‍♀️ Motion is Lotion

Gentle, graded movement can reduce pain and improve function. Avoiding activity due to fear of pain can lead to stiffness, weakness, and more discomfort.

✅ Start small. Progress gradually. Trust your body’s ability to adapt.
As Exercise Physiologists, we guide people through safe, personalised movement plans to rebuild confidence and strength.

🔍 Pain does not always equal Injury

Pain is a complex experience influenced by your brain, emotions, and environment—not just tissue damage. You can feel pain without injury, and you can have an injury without pain.

💡 As Exercise Physiologists, we help clients understand that movement is often safe and beneficial—even when pain is present. Education is the first step toward recovery.

🦠 Feeling Under the Weather? Stay Home, Stay Safe! 🏡

As winter rolls in, so do the sniffles, sneezes, and sore throats. If you're feeling unwell, we kindly ask that you stay home and rest rather than coming into the clinic.

Why?
✅ Protect fellow clients and staff
✅ Give your body the recovery it needs
✅ Help us keep the clinic a healthy space for all

💡 Tip: Hydrate, rest, and reschedule your session when you're feeling better. Your wellness journey is important—but so is your recovery!

Thanks for helping us keep our community safe this winter ❄️💙

🌿 EXERCISE & EDS: YES, IT’S POSSIBLE (AND POWERFUL!) 💪

Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) can feel like your body has its own rulebook — hypermobile joints, frequent pain, and fatigue can make movement tricky. But the right kind of exercise can be life-changing — and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. 🙌

👣 We don’t chase flexibility — we build stability.
Think core strength, joint control, and safe movement patterns.

✨ Small, consistent steps matter.
Low-impact, well-paced strength exercises help protect your joints and reduce pain. We focus on things like bridges, glute activation, and slow, steady movements — all designed to work with your body, not against it.

🧠 Confidence is key.
Many of our EDS clients come in unsure or anxious about movement. We help you understand your body, rebuild trust, and set achievable goals without pushing through pain.

💓 Got POTS too? No problem. We’ve got recumbent cardio options to keep things safe and supportive.

With the right support, EDS doesn’t have to hold you back. Our exercise programs are tailored, gentle, and empowering.

👉 Ready to move safely and feel stronger in your body? Send us a DM or ask about working with one of our Exercise Physiologists at True North Wellness
