Wherever you are starting fresh or starting over, we see you. And we’re here to support you.

Beginning a new exercise routine can feel overwhelming:
😟 Fear of getting injured
🤷‍♀️ Not knowing if you’re doing it “right”
💔 Low confidence after illness, injury, or surgery

And let’s be honest, staying consistent can be just as tough.
Especially when you’re dealing with fatigue, chronic pain, a packed schedule, or simply not sure if your effort is making a difference.

Here’s the truth:
Motivation isn’t the goal.
Structure, support, and meaning are.

📖 A 2021 study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that people are more likely to maintain regular movement when it is:
✅ Personally meaningful
✅ Tailored to their physical and emotional needs
✅ Delivered with accountability, empathy, and flexibility

That’s exactly what we offer at Empowerment Physiology.
As Accredited Exercise Physiologists, we design individualised, evidence-based programs that honour your body, your story, and your goals whether you’re in recovery, returning to movement, or just trying to feel better in your body.

No matter if it’s week one or year three, long-term consistency isn’t built on pressure, it’s built on safety, structure, and support.

Let’s work together to create something that’s sustainable, meaningful, and truly empowering for you!

🏃‍♀️ We’re Hitting the Pavement at the GC50 Half Marathon! 🫶🏼🏅

The Empowerment Physiology team is ready for race weekend! 💚
Join us in cheering on Shireen, Sebastien, Hengi, and Bec as they take on the GC50 Half Marathon — and a special shoutout to Shireen’s mum, who’s running the 5km event on Saturday! 🙌

As Exercise Physiologists, we know preparation is everything — so here are some of our hot tips to help you perform your best and recover well 👇

💪1️⃣ Prep Smart: Build Load Gradually
Taper your training this week — now’s not the time for new PBs. Focus on light runs, gentle mobility, and rest. Your body performs best when it’s fresh, not fatigued.

🧘‍♀ 2️⃣ Stretch & Mobilise Daily
Keep hips, calves, and hamstrings loose with dynamic stretches like leg swings and hip circles before your run, and gentle static stretches post-run. Mobility = efficiency.
📖 Research supports that dynamic warm-ups improve running economy and reduce injury risk (Fradkin et al., 2010, Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport).

💧 3️⃣ Hydrate Early & Consistently
Start hydrating two days before the race — water + electrolytes. Avoid overloading the morning of; aim for steady intake and sip during the run.

🍌 4️⃣ Fuel Right for Race Week
Stick to familiar foods! Prioritise balanced meals with carbs, lean protein, and electrolytes. The night before, opt for complex carbs like rice or pasta to top up glycogen stores.

🏁 5️⃣ Post-Race Recovery Counts
Cool down, stretch, and refuel with protein and carbs within 60 minutes. Gentle movement the next day helps speed up recovery.

✨ Whether you’re running 5km or 21km, remember:
It’s not just about race day — it’s about moving well, recovering smart, and enjoying the journey.

Good luck to everyone participating in the ! 🏅
We’ll see you at the finish line 💚

🌿 A New Chapter for Empowerment Physiology 🌿

After 8 unforgettable years in Central Queensland, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. 💚

CQ has been so much more than a workplace — it has been a family, a community, and the place where I’ve witnessed and shared so many powerful stories of courage, healing, resilience, and transformation. To every client who trusted me, every supporter who stood by us, and every friend who walked through our doors — thank you. You have been the heartbeat of Empowerment Physiology, and I will carry each memory, smile, and milestone with me always.

✨ What’s Next
Life is leading me back to the Gold Coast, closer to family, where I’ll be opening a purpose-built studio — the very place my love for health and fitness first began. This feels both like a homecoming and an expansion of all that we’ve created together here in CQ.

📆 Last Day in CQ: Thursday, 28 August 2025
💻 Staying Connected:
✔ Zoom consultations (program updates, VALD reviews, movement coaching)
✔ Tailored digital programs
✔ Referrals to trusted local providers
✔ Ongoing communication with your GP or specialist

🌊 Salty Steps will continue in CQ, resuming fortnightly from September — a space to keep moving, regulating, and reconnecting in nature.

This is not a goodbye, but a heartfelt love letter of gratitude. CQ will always be a part of me and of Empowerment Physiology. I look forward to walking beside you in new and beautiful ways — no matter where you are. 💫

With endless love and gratitude,
Shireen Rigby
