OTs are at breaking point.

The NDIA has made a devastating pricing decision—one that freezes therapy support rates for the seventh year in a row and slashes travel funding for occupational therapists by 50%. These changes are already driving providers out of the system and leaving participants without essential care.

Occupational therapists deserve fair pay.

NDIS participants deserve consistent care.

OTA is campaigning for an immediate price uplift, a fit-for-purpose allied health costing model, and a reversal of the 50% travel rate cut – and we need your voice!

Here’s what you can do:
1.Sign our petition to the Australian Government and NDIA
2. Email your MP using our prepared template - it goes straight to your MP + NDIS decision-makers

We also call on our OTA members to share this with your networks. The more Australians who speak out - participants, families, therapists, and allies - the harder it will be for decision makers to ignore the devastating consequences of this pricing decision.

Wry Neck: A Scientific Exploration 🧬

Wry neck, a condition characterised by an abnormal neck posture and limited neck mobility, presents in two primary forms: acute wry neck and facet joint wry neck.

1️⃣ Acute Wry Neck: This variant manifests as severe neck pain accompanied by significant restriction in neck mobility, often rendering neck movement nearly impossible. While it can affect individuals of any age group, it is notably prevalent among teenagers. In cases where adolescents experience such distressing neck pain, it is advisable to promptly seek medical consultation. This may help to rule out underlying conditions and ensure appropriate management.

2️⃣ Facet Joint Wry Neck: Facet joint wry neck occurs when the neck's facet joints become locked, resulting in restricted neck movement and intense pain. Management typically involves the intervention of a physiotherapist who specialises in unlocking the affected joints to alleviate pain and restore normal function.

In either case, early evaluation and appropriate intervention are key to addressing wry neck and its associated discomfort effectively. Chat to our team at On The Go Rehab if you have any concerns, and best of all.... we come to you!

Diet, healthy relationships and a positive attitude are all factors that contribute to longevity, but the elixir for a long and happy life isn’t complete without physical activity.

It turns out that there is some value in learning more about how the longest-living people in the world move their bodies each day, which is exactly what Héctor García and Francesc Miralles did.

The authors of “Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life,” spoke to over 100 of the oldest people in Okinawa, Japan, a blue zone with the highest concentration of centenarians in the world.

Gyms are overcrowded, 5K races and marathons are selling out in record time and the fitness app market is expected to reach 30 billion by the end of the decade. Despite such elevated levels of health consciousness, the one aerobic exercise that rarely gets due credit is walking.

The reality is that walking provides many of the same mental and physical health benefits as other aerobic exercises, but with less effort and strain on one's body.

Walking is an important form of exercise for many reasons, but its primary benefit is that it's good for the heart.

You can boost your immune system with stress management and a balanced diet. But exercise also boosts your immune system, supporting your overall health.

Of course, lacing your sneakers for a run can sometimes feel like the last thing you want to do. But the simple act of moving your body more can provide a powerful tool for fighting infection. The catch? Not all exercise is entirely helpful to your immune system.

To explain the connection between exercise and immunity, Health spoke with experts who have studied exercise's effect on the immune system. Here's how to make the most of your workouts for your overall health.

Research shows exercise can indeed boost your immune system—but it depends on the intensity and consistency of your workouts.
