❤️ WORLD DUCHENNE AWARENESS DAY❤️

Today is World Duchenne Awareness Day, where we advocate for the individuals and families affected by Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy 👊

Muscular Dystrophy is a rare and fatal genetic disorder 🧬 that causes progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. It primarily affects boys 👦🏽, where 1 in 5000 newborn boys in the world 🌎 are affected.

Physiotherapists can be involved in the care of individuals with duchennes 👩‍⚕️

They help maintain muscle strength💪, joint flexibility, and respiratory 🫁 function through targeted exercises and stretching routines.

Physios also provide support with mobility aids, posture management, and breathing techniques as the disease progresses., with the main goal to improve quality of life, delay complications, and promote independence for as long as possible 🙌🤩

Studies show that women may lose up to 1–1.5 per cent of muscle mass per year during menopause, with a concurrent increase in visceral adiposity.

To round out Jean Hailes for Women's Health Week, Sarah Myles, Rebecca Tapiolas, Kathy Jennings and Lauren Neill of the APA Women’s, Men’s and Pelvic Health national group present five discussion points about the physical and mental effects of menopause and the support physiotherapists can provide.

This infographic is an initiative of the PRF, supported by FlexEze Heat Wrap Therapy – a PRF partner.

✨ TEAMS DAY ✨

Earlier in the week the Tablelands team got together for a staff workshop, to catch up, chat and brainstorm 🤩

Our practitioners designed a variety of different activities and exercises 🙌 that can be implemented with our patients to keep things interesting and engaging - whether for our paediatric patients, sports people or aged care residents 💪🏃

We had loads of fun watching and trialing out all the activities - plus it was great to see some friendly competition between our staff 👊🌟

And we can all confirm the games are heaps of fun and we can't wait for our amazing patients to give them a go!!
