🌿 It’s Never “Too Late” to Start 🌿
At Sunshine Coast Health Services, our exercise classes aren’t about six-packs or bootcamps.
They’re about:
✔️ Getting out of a chair with confidence
✔️ Walking further without fear of falling
✔️ Strengthening bones and muscles as we age
✔️ Improving balance and coordination
✔️ Supporting Parkinson’s, diabetes, arthritis and chronic conditions
✔️ Feeling steadier, stronger and more capable
Most people don’t realise that exercise is one of the most powerful “medicines” we have.
The right type of strength and balance training can:
• Reduce falls risk
• Improve bone density
• Support brain health
• Improve blood sugar control
• Reduce joint pain
• Boost mood and confidence
Our classes are small, supportive and supervised by qualified professionals who understand the needs of older adults and those living with chronic health conditions.
You don’t need to be fit.
You just need to begin.
If you’ve been thinking, “I should really do something…”
This is your sign 💚
Send us a message or call the clinic to find out which class might suit you best.

Are you between 40-80 years old, and live with Parkinson’s disease? You may be eligible to take part in a new clinical trial run by Monash House Research Centre. This study will investigate a new therapy designed to deliver sustained relief from ‘off’ periods, via a small, easy-to-use wearable device that avoids the harsh side effects and skin reactions common with older treatments.

You may be required to stay up to 8 days at the private rooms of Monash House Private Hospital, where all meals are provided and reimbursement is available for time, travel and involvement.

You can find out more at the link below, or share with a loved one who might be interest in getting involved. Your participation in this study will help researchers develop better treatments that could reshape the future of Parkinson’s disease care.

13-19 October is Podiatry Week.

Podiatry Week aims to inspire people to learn more about podiatry, foot and ankle health, take advantage of the invaluable services on offer, and even consider podiatry as a career path.

Podiatrists play an essential role across all areas of the health sector - from private practice, community health services, hospitals, rural and remote outreach clinics, to rehabilitation centres, residential aged care, across the disability sector and working within people’s homes.

From our very first steps, podiatrists keep us moving pain free, chasing sporting goals, staying active for better health, and recovering from injury.

When life presents new challenges, from managing diabetes to staying mobile in later years, podiatrists are there every step of the journey to provide support.

It's not just lower limb, ankle and foot problems – it’s about quality of life at every age and stage.
