Today, on International Men's Day, we asked our Allied Health team what men’s health means to them… 👇

💚 Rick, Senior Exercise Physiologist:
“Remaining connected, engaged, active & motivated to get the most out of your body & mind.”

💛 Leo, Remedial Massage Therapist:
“Vitality & longevity.”

💙 Jin, Exercise Physiologist:
“Enjoy life to the fullest with family and friends!”

🔥 Paul, Senior Physiotherapist:
“Keep fit, stay young.”

🌿 Aaron, Senior Physiotherapist:
“Living a life that you see purpose in.”

🏃‍♂️ Lachie, Exercise Physiologist:
“Try to get as many men as active as possible.”

This is your reminder to check in on your health, book that appointment you’ve been putting off, move your body and reconnect with your mates.

Here’s to all the fellas in our community. We’re here to support you and cheer you on! 🙌

Balancing Act: Staying Steady as We Age ⚖️
3-Part Series with Physio Emily

✨ Part 2: Visual System
Your eyes aren’t just for seeing — they’re one of your secret weapons for balance.

When your visual system gets a little out of sync, you might feel wobbly, dizzy or unsure on your feet.

The good news is you can train your visual system just like a muscle! 🙌

Emily walks us through a few quick exercises to sharpen your visual balance and help you feel more steady and confident in everyday life.

Next up: Part 3 - your proprioceptive system, the final piece of your balance trio!

We remember their courage.
We honour their sacrifice.
We thank them for our freedom.
Lest we forget. 🌺
