This year’s theme is “Connect with your community.”

When we feel safe, seen and supported, our mental health thrives.

Community can be many things – friends, family, a book club, choir, running group, volunteer group, or even online spaces.

Let’s talk about mental health, reduce stigma, and reach out for support. 💬✨

Today is World Physiotherapy Day!

This year’s theme is Healthy Ageing - with a focus on preventing falls and frailty.

Physiotherapists play a vital role in keeping people strong, steady, and independent at every stage of life.

From balance training to strength exercises, every movement matters when it comes to staying active and reducing the risk of falls.

Let’s celebrate the incredible work that our Physiotherapists at KKCS Allied Health & Disability Services, and physios across the globe do to help us age well and live life to the fullest!

📚Happy National Read a Book Day! 📚

Today we’re celebrating the magic of books — the stories that spark imaginations, the words that build connections, and the pages that help children (and adults!) grow their speech and language skills.

For many of our clients, reading is more than a pastime — it’s a powerful therapy tool. Whether it’s exploring rhyming stories to boost phonological awareness, sharing picture books to build vocabulary, or diving into chapter books to strengthen comprehension, every page turned can be a step forward in communication.

So grab a favourite book today, read aloud to a friend, child, or loved one, and let the words work their magic.
