World Parkinson’s day 💙 🌎

April 11 is World Parkinson’s day, marking the beginning of Parkinson’s awareness month.

Parkinson’s affects nearly 10 million people worldwide. Parkinson’s disease is a complex neurological condition that impacts movement, cognition and quality of life uniquely for each individual living with it. In fact Parkinson’s Disease has more than 50 symptoms - with many of these being invisible.

Parkinson’s awareness month provides the opportunity to learn more about the issues that people living with Parkinson’s face every day - and how their lives can be improved through exercise, community activities and through social connections.

Our Exercise Physiologists can help you with movement strategies, coordination, balance, strength, support and so much more! 🙌🏽

📞 Please get in touch with our friendly team on 0427 789 475 if you’d like to know how we can best help!

Meet local legend Doreen, who has a rich history in the Tweed and a great sense of humour!

Doreen was referred to Agile Exercise Physiology with the aim to keep her living in the comfort of her own home and keeping her as independent as possible.

At this time Doreen was sceptical of seeing us as her mobility had severely deteriorated and she was always in pain; she was worried movement would make things worse. Doreen also had a number of falls in the past year and wasn’t very stable on her feet. She struggled at getting out of bed and in and out of her lounge chair.

Doreen shows great courage and determination during her home visits and through all her hard work is ticking off her goals! 👊🏼

Doreen is now mobilising more comfortably, her balance has improved and she has more energy to burn.
Getting in and out of her armchair is no longer a chore. ✅

Doreen recently achieved a huge feat, she managed to enjoy a special evening with her grandchildren to see the Australian Outback Spectacular event, mobilising to, from and around the venue with ease!
Another one of Doreen’s goals was to be able to walk down to the end of her street to join her friend for afternoon tea, she now does this regularly. 🙌🏽

Doreen is so thankful that she started Exercise Physiology and she can now get back doing the things she loves in her Community! 💪

Today is World Kidney Day! 💙

Did you know Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects approximately 850 million people worldwide? If left undetected, CKD can progress to kidney failure, leading to severe complications. By 2040, it’s projected to become the 5th leading cause of years of life lost.

Regular physical activity plays a crucial role in kidney health. An Exercise Physiologist is the most qualified healthcare professional to guide you in your journey.
Benefits of appropriate exercise for CKD include:

- Exercise helps control blood pressure and blood sugar levels

- Physical activity reduces inflammation and oxidative stress

- Regular movement helps maintain healthy body weight

- Exercise improves cardiovascular health, directly benefiting kidney function

- For people with CKD, tailored exercise programs can slow disease progression and improve quality of life

Often early stages of CKD are asymptomatic, making it difficult to detect. Increased swelling, high blood pressure and protein in urine can be telling signs.

Key risk factors to be aware of:
* Diabetes
* Hypertension
* Cardiovascular disease
* Obesity
* Family history of kidney disease

Additional risks include acute kidney injury, pregnancy-related kidney disease, autoimmune diseases, urinary tract blockages, and kidney stones.

Simple tests that can detect kidney issues early:
* Blood pressure measurements
* Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation
* Urine tests for albumin
* Blood tests for creatinine and glucose levels

Early detection is crucial! Testing should be integrated into routine care for high-risk populations. Let’s raise awareness and promote kidney health education.
What steps will you take today for your kidney health?

⁉️ Did you know that for every 5kg decrease in grip strength we increase our Dementia risk by 22% as we age?

💪 🧠 Grip strength can say a lot about your health? Reduced grip strength is linked to:

⏳ A reduced life expectancy by 3–5 years on average

⚡ Accelerated cognitive deterioration and a 22% higher risk of developing dementia for every 5kg decrease in grip strength

🧠 Increased risk of dementia and greater challenges in maintaining independence.
Grip strength is essential for basic daily tasks like:

🍳 Using pots and pans
🛍️ Carrying groceries
🥫 Opening jars
🛠️ Gripping handrails and walking aids

👉 Why does it matter?
Grip strength reflects your overall muscle strength, coordination, and independence. Declining strength is often an early sign of frailty, cognitive decline, or chronic illness.
We want you at your best as you age! 💪

💡 How exercise helps:

▪️Maintain and improve grip strength: Resistance training and functional exercises can strengthen your hands and entire body.

▪️Slow cognitive decline: Regular movement boosts brain health and reduces dementia risk

▪️Enhance quality of life: Stay strong and confident in your daily routines

📊 Track your progress! Monitoring grip strength over time helps identify improvements and keeps you on the right track

⚡️Let’s get started!
We’ll support you and create a program tailored to your needs to keep you active, independent, and thriving.

Call us today to take control of your health and longevity!

Meet one of our veterans Bob who would like to share his story.
Bob is a resilient man, with a heart of gold and has overcome many health challenges in the past year.

Bob was hospitalised for a total of 3 months in 3x different hospitals, initially due to a falls related incident and a bleed to his brain. During this time Bob had heart and kidney related issues and gained a great deal of fluid (see attached 2nd pic).

With no real exercise or movement for 3 months, Bob returned to family care and sought support from us!
Bob, was barely able to walk around the house at this stage as his capacity was significantly reduced, balance, coordination and depth perception were poor and he lacked overall strength.

Bob’s main goal was to be able to walk up the hill of the family home and return to his own home in Canberra in 6x weeks time.

Not only did Bob smash his goal, but by the end of the 6x weeks he managed to walk all the way up the hill and down the street multiple times with ease! Not only this, balance, posture and strength all improved greatly and Bob has already planned to go fishing on his first day back home!
Slide across to see a small sample size of Bob’s program.

Well done Bob, we salute you! 🫡
