You know that feeling when you’ve been at your desk for hours and suddenly realise your shoulders are up by your ears, your back feels tight, and your energy is at zero? 🙋‍♀️

That’s your body’s way of saying: “Hey, I need a break!” 🫠

The truth is, our bodies weren’t designed to sit still all day. A few minutes of movement—standing, stretching, or walking—can do wonders.

✅ It gets your blood flowing, eases those stiff muscles, and even helps clear your head so you can refocus. Think of it like hitting the reset button for your body andyour brain.

Next time you’re deep in work mode, try setting a little reminder to move. Your body (and future self) will thank you! 💪✨

“Feeling the winter chill? ❄️ Our locally-made Lupin Heat Packs are the perfect natural way to soothe sore muscles, stay warm, and relax.

Why Lupins? 🤔
Lupine are lighter than wheat, they have less dust, are lower allergens, quicker to heat and stay warm for longer. There is also little-to-no development of unpleasant odours.

Available in a range of shapes and sizes – perfect for backs, necks, or anywhere that needs a little TLC 🙌

✅ Microwave safe
✅ Retains heat longer than wheat
✅ Gently scented (or unscented – tailor this!)

🧡 Pop into the clinic to grab yours this winter!

Our Team cannot wait to be apart of the 2025 Halls Gap, Run the Gap 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We are equally as excited to stay at the Lakeside Tourist Park for our upcoming Annual Team Retreat 😍

Keep your eyes pealed for some photos and updates along the way!!!! We can’t wait 🙌

Lace up for a cause! 🏃‍♀️🌄 Run the Gap returns to Halls Gap on May 25, 2025—and this year, it matters more than ever.

With recent bushfires and challenges faced by our region, this event plays a vital role in raising funds for recovery efforts, local infrastructure, and the Grampians Walking Track Support Group.

Whether you’re joining the run, cheering from the sidelines, or sponsoring a friend—every step makes a difference. 🧡

Sign up, show up, or support someone who’s running. Together, we can help rebuild and protect this place we all love.
