Yesterday, on World Su***de Prevention Day, MT participated in the Out Of The Shadows walk held by .
9km to remember the 9 Australian’s lost to su***de every day and acknowledge the pain for those left behind..
I walked for my friends who’ve lost loved ones to su***de..
There is still a lot of stigma and ignorance creating barriers to people accessing the support and help they deserve..
If you are a person in distress, reach out to .
If you are concerned about someone - engage, listen and connect them with care.

Helping patients on their recovery journey’s back to full health is something I feel blessed to be able to assist with. The road there is never normally linear, but I 100% believe what I said, “Your body is strong, your body is adaptable, your body is resilient, you will be okay.” Proud of you 💛.
・・・
From bulging a disc 5 years ago, to a sacroiliac joint injury and flare ups constantly for years, I never thought I would be able to get strength back again. I was a personal trainer for 10 years, and to be honest, I gave up, thinking my body would always be screwed. I gave up on exercise since Covid.. never really getting anywhere before I injured myself again or wouldn’t be able to walk because of a tweak in my back.
But I can now say, after 7 weeks of reformer Pilates (something I never thought I would be doing or interested in) I’m starting to gain some strength, and motivation back. With the support of my amazing osteo and her words “Your body is strong, your body is adaptable, your body is resilient, you will be okay.”
Don’t let injuries hold you back, or anything for that matter. My mental health has been so much better the last few weeks, finally exercising again and not letting my excuses get in the way. It was scary, and I still have little flare ups but I’m much better at managing it mentally and physically.
My ultimate goal would be to get back into powerlifting one day, but I’m in no rush and finally willing to listen to my body.
So just do it girl, sign up for the class, go for that walk, get in the pool, do whatever it takes.. no matter how small. You got it.
