It was an absolute honour and privilage to sit in the audience at the and listen to Dr Gill's story and life journey, hearing about her experience of healthcare and physiotherapy - from learning to catch rolled up bandages in ICU, to learning to move & walk again as a double amputee, not just in the hospital but out there in the community - from playgound to pub! What a woman and what an inspiration. And what a profession we are privilaged to be a part of! ❤️ Thank you Australian Physiotherapy Association for giving us the opportunity to listen to her story and journey, & for the reminder that what we do as a profession matters, every human life matrers and everyone of us can Make A Difference!

🏋‍♂️Get the weight out ladies! 💪 What we do now, impacts us much later in life and may well prevent illness and disease catching up with us as well as dictate our ability to stay living at home independently in our later years or needing care.

Women in their 40s, 50s and 60s are realising importance of keeping their bodies fit and strong as they age

Thank you for some Monday evening reading with a cup of tea, winding down after a day of home visits out east of Melbourne - waiting for the sun to go down before I can take my heat sensitive greyhound out for a walk!

A great article inside about young onset parkinsons disease.

Did you know that almost 200,000 people live with Parkinsons Disease in Australia, and of that population, 20% are of working age with 10% under 50 years of age.

The signs can be subtle (and widely varied) in the early days and potentially ignored or misinterpreted.

Some people note a change in muscle tone - dystopia, which may be exercise induced, changes in muscle strength or coordination, or other signs such a fatigue, mood, gastrointestinal and sleep changes

Early diagnosis is soooo very important as exercise prescription is really important - the leading intervention for Parkinsons is exercise therapy.

A multi disciplinary approach is so important - physiotherapist, GP, occupational therapist, neurologist, speech therapist etc.

This month is April Falls Month and the theme is ‘Better Balance for Fall Prevention’. Unlike an April Fools’ Day joke, a fall is no laughing matter. 37% of injury-related deaths are caused by falls and 30% of those aged 65 and over fall each year.

Month is the NSW Fall Prevention & Healthy Ageing Network's annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of falls and to promote fall prevention strategies.

During this month, we’ll be sharing information on the health and economic impacts of falls, as well as on how physiotherapy is vital in preventing falls and helping to care for those who suffer a fall.

If you’d like to learn more about this year’s campaign, head to: https://fallsnetwork.neura.edu.au/aprilfalls/

👟 Community gyms for young adults with developmental disability 👟

Catching up on admin today and reading the latest from the Australian Physiotherapy Association In Motion magazine.

Here is a great article about the benefits of community gyms for young adults living with a developmental disability - thank you APA!

👟 The community gym is a preferred place to exercise.

Many young adults living with disability don't meet the recommended physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity every week - and so they are at a higher risk of a wide variety of avoidable health conditions associated with a more sedentary lifestyle.

Research has shown that those living with a disability prefer to exercise in a community setting.

👟 The community gym is a safe & supportive enviroment - an important role for us physio's is to facilitate these gym sessions for those who might be apprehensive about this environment or anxious about doing the 'wrong thing'.

There is a wide variety of equipment available in modern gym spaces & your physio can show you where to start and how to progress.

👟 Gyms are a social place - this is so important to those living with a disability who would really benefit from the inclusive environment that a community gym can provide.

👟 Needless to say - the health benefits of participating in community gym exercise are great!

Improve cardiovascular fitness, build strength....and of course gyms are wonderful for our mental health - connecting with others working away alongside you - even a simple hello to & from a stranger can make us feel so much better!

👟 Support is important for those living with a disability to be able to access their local community gym.

There is help out there and your physio can help link you and your family in with the right supports to get a gym program up & running.

Contact us if you would like our physio Eilís to help you get started.

Via our home visiting service .physio we offer home and community based sessions in the eastern and north eastern suburbs or Melbourne.
