We’re wired to connect, and it’s not just emotional, it’s biological. Research shows that strong social relationships are linked to lower rates of depression, reduced anxiety, better sleep, and even longer life expectancy.

▪️Social interaction helps regulate stress hormones like cortisol

▪️Supportive relationships encourage healthier coping habits

▪️Feeling connected boosts self-worth and emotional resilience

Whether it’s a trusted friend, family member, community group, or mental health professional, being seen and heard matters.

At ICO Health Group, we take a whole-person approach to mental wellness. If you’re feeling isolated or struggling to cope, our GPs and psychologists are here to help.

Connection is care. Let’s talk about it.

Your feet carry you through life, but when was the last time you gave them the attention they deserve?

Podiatrists play a vital role in identifying and treating issues before they turn into serious complications, especially for those with diabetes, arthritis, or circulation problems.

▪️Ingrown toenails & fungal infections

▪️Heel pain & plantar fasciitis

▪️Diabetic foot care & ulcer prevention

▪️Gait & biomechanical issues

▪️Circulation & nerve function checks

At ICO Health Group, our podiatry services help patients stay mobile, pain-free, and one step ahead of preventable complications.

Progress isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes, it looks like showing up for your check-up, choosing water over soda, or simply getting out of bed on a tough day.

No matter where you are in your health journey, what matters is that you're moving, even if it’s one small step at a time.

Keep going. You’re doing better than you think.

Some babies are born with a tight or short band of tissue under the tongue, called a tongue tie (ankyloglossia), which can make feeding difficult. Signs may include:

🍼 Trouble latching during breastfeeding

🍼 Clicking sounds while feeding

🍼 Prolonged feeds or poor weight gain

🍼 Frustration or fussiness at the breast

At ICO Health Group, our GPs can assess your baby’s oral anatomy, discuss whether a release (frenotomy) is appropriate, and guide you through the next steps, always in collaboration with your lactation consultant or child health team.

Worried about feeding issues? Let’s talk. Early assessment can make a big difference! https://icohealth.com.au/our-practices/

▪️Recurring colds, fevers, or sore throats

▪️Developmental or behavioural concerns

Menopause brings many changes, and one of the most important (but often overlooked) is bone health. As estrogen levels drop, the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures increases significantly.

Why? Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining bone density. Without it, bones become more fragile, often without symptoms until a fracture occurs.

At ICO Health Group, we help women stay ahead of these changes with:

✔ Risk assessments

✔ Bone density scans (DEXA)

✔ Nutrition & lifestyle guidance

✔ Personalised care plans

Let’s protect your future mobility and independence, starting now.

✔️ Referrals (e.g., dietitian, exercise physiologist, pharmacist) are refreshed

Not all kids develop at the same pace, and that’s okay. But if you’ve been wondering whether your child’s speech, movement, or social skills are where they should be, trust that it’s okay to ask.

Early conversations with your GP can lead to early support, and sometimes, that makes all the difference.

At ICO Health, we’re here to listen, guide, and support your child’s journey with care and respect.

Book a visit today and let’s talk about how we can support your child’s growth, together.
